Title: BFL MONARCH 600 gigahash Post by: solareclipse64236 on August 17, 2013, 09:17:50 PM why is it only 4-5 thousand dollars as compared to the mini-rig?
does the parts for the mini-rig cost more? this makes no sense to me! shouldn't newer parts mean higher cost? also higher hashing power also mean higher cost? please no weirdo posts in here Title: Re: BFL MONARCH 600 gigahash Post by: lightlord on August 17, 2013, 09:49:51 PM The amount of GPUS it would take to perform as well as this BFL monarch
would be 1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott! Title: Re: BFL MONARCH 600 gigahash Post by: BuhTuglia on August 22, 2013, 01:13:11 AM Howdy. Speaking as a relatively uneducated and ignorant Okie, I think you are seeing the difference between 65nm tech and 28nm. Look at the space requirements for the minirig, and then the monarch which fits in a double PCI-express slot. Be warned, though, that this product probably doesn't exist anywhere on planet earth ATM. I'd pay four grand for one today, but not six-eight-ten months down the road. I found the disclaimer about "If you are uncomfortable waiting until development is complete and the product is shipped, do NOT pre-order this product" humorous and a bit touchy, after all the heat BFL has probably dissapated over the last year's order to delivery rigamarole. https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/600-gh-bitcoin-mining-card.html russell Title: Re: BFL MONARCH 600 gigahash Post by: BitJrive on August 22, 2013, 01:26:56 AM Its because the actual ship date wont be until the year 2020.

Title: Re: BFL MONARCH 600 gigahash Post by: BuhTuglia on August 22, 2013, 10:50:03 PM Yeah, unless you got time on your hands, money to burn, and confidence that the difficulty factor won't be in the 300 trillions or so by then. |
