There is no problem with BFL ASIC delivery. Everything is okay.

c'mon, at least add some irony tags. people could think you're srs.

ASIC, and the only people with a working system on the free market today http://launch.avalon-asics.com
just raised their price to 88 BTC about $6000. They only take bitcoin and you have to wait 2 months for delivery!

The cheapest way to mine bitcoin by putting a graphics card in your PC.
You can get an Ati 5830 off ebay for £60/$90 and mine 260MH/s. (about BTC 0.8 pm)

ASIC > FPGA

I can't be bothered to explain why.

Once this account is out of newbie jail I will post in the custom hardware forum mostly; the sense of irony won't be needed as nobody who hangs out in that forum would take me seriously ;)

Plus as soon as the forums let me I'll have this as my avatar which should make it obvious :P

Its a pretty neat piece of comedy you pull there and I'm looking forward to see your posts. you really should use that avatar.

so now that i have seen a bit more i see that bfl will not do much and it will take forever to get anything and avalon is sale out and if you get fpga they might become useless so still the best is to get the gpus and make you own miner so can any one help which is the best set up for a msi 7950 twin razor please let me know some ideas i want to put 5 of these at least in each machine

In the next month, GPU/FPGA is better than ASIC for most, because you can't get your hands on an ASIC. But if you think that BTC is going to continue to appreciate, it's probably better just to buy bitcoin, because it will take you a while to get up to speed with your GPU/FPGA system.
