Title: BFL Products
Post by: yrtrnc on October 01, 2012, 07:03:22 AM
Hello Govners

Top of the mornin to ya all..

So as you may or may not know BFL is finally nearing their shipping date. And as you may or may not already know, they have ramped up their promised specs as of the 29th.

My question is, other than the price! ( the obvious ) and the latest specs, does anyone have any info on these elusive products? For example, will there be any colour choices such as crimson blue? How will they be operated, usb or stand alone? Which minning pool will they use? What will the interface be like? Can it be remotely controlled/viewed? Will there be a flashy oled display for quick monitoring? And so on, if someone could shed a little more light on these details that would be great. I mean, hell, it would probably help BFL sales immensely.. With all the competition out there an all.

Hi,

The black is cool ;D
USB
Solo or the pool you want, it is understood.
Interface / Minner? http://www.butterflylabs.com/drivers/

Still a month to begin to move (in theory)

At the moment only  ngzhang claims that Avalon ASIC is standalone. And to my knowlege only Jalapeņos are USB powered.

I believe the Avalon and Reclaimer are both standalone.

But this are bonds, so you can't  buy this Asic and mine at home. Am I wrong?

You buy the bonds now and later exchange them for the physical machine. Look at it as a way to preorder and at the same time make publicity for Tychos https://icbit.se/ (https://icbit.se/) exchange
