Nice! 151.2 Giga Hash

Are you upgrading those 6 to SC mining rigs when they come out?

No need to insult me. I'm not talking out of my ass. I am talking as someone who doesn't use twitter. I sincerely apologize if I have offended or annoyed you or somehow seemed argumentative. My only intention was to convey my own understanding and ask for clarification. Can we please be civilized here?

Anyway, I don't see a link that says "27 retweets" (even ctrl+f on the page). I assume it's because I don't have a twitter account so probably getting a different kind of page. It's good news he's retweeting then


I'd love a debate but probably don't want to change the topic of this forum. If you want to continue, feel free to pm me. Metaphors are unnecessary (as I am a network engineering student) and I usually find them confusing and distracting. Not to mention the holes in your metaphor.

I don't how you really know as you don't have a board. You cancelled as soon as *** came on the scene with an announcement so don't get bitter if you made the wrong decision.

Outside a very small number of boards listed on this forum there are hundreds working and pretty much stable in the field especially since Controller Rev 1.2. We are still working to tweek the Controller more as is and and will be a much more major change when we bring in our own bitstream design. More on that when we are ready.

There are a handful of boards that probably have a hardware fault and we are replacing them. We are still to have any of these back and to do properal analysis on them but that will happen in due course. There are also a few customers that have particular problems out of a number exceeding 100 rigs. We believe most of these issues are a combination of USB, OS, driver and CGminer issues all of which are basically third party items. There may also be a few more hardware failures as well amongst that lot. We are working our way through those issues as fast as we can but there are literally hundreds of possible combinations and it is hard and slow work to model problems in the lab so we can debug and fix issues. Our big rig that is starting to take shape will give us a good platform to find and fix the oddball issues.

We have made the pricing change based on the availability of eldentyrell's bitstream being available, at close to the rate he has been promising, and we believe that is running in several Cairnsmore1 boards. We said this would happen no matter where a bitstream came from. The pricing change isn't much of an effect on existing customers and everyone that has purchased gets the chance to buy same again at the offer price until the end of September. Over that the new pricing also takes account of previous orders for the benefit of discounting so we think we have been very fair to customers that have committed to us. We do need to raise prices to cover the costs of support work and it is important to the product development that we do that.

We are continuing to deliver boards on time and in some cases earlier than promised.

The only place we might be seen to be at fault in my view is finishing our bitstream and not getting the Icarus replication quite perfect. The bitstream is a couple of weeks behind schedule but does have great promise. All I can say is that we sold this product as a concept going into a development program and it is exactly that. I don't think we could have been clearer on that to potential customers and any that have been unhappy about the current project state have been allowed to cancel or delay pre-orders payments as they wished. We are making significant forward progess on this project every week and the product gets better every day as a result of that.

Outside of all this I think we already have the product with the best capability and design currently available in the Bitstream market. I don't think anyone has a thermal solution as good as ours. Running close to maximum power the heatsinks sit at 5-10 DegC above ambient with the F12 fan running. Protection for fan fail also came this week in Controller rev 1.3. You are free to dissagree on all of that and I would say go and make your own if you can do better. We will stand on what we have done against any competition and we will do that in a totally fair fashion. We are still only on the 12th week of product development and I don't think we are doing too badly given what has been achieved by the team at Enterpoint. There is more to come and that will be delivered as fast as we can achieve that.

Finally heard back from them yesterday, my order is "secure". Total of 5 business days before they replied that they got my money.

I was told by Butterflylabs they do not stock ANY of their products. The only way to get one of their products ( I'm interested in a single ) is to pay for everything up front then wait 2-3 months for a possible delivery. Yea, that's right....could take up to a quarter of a year to get your product delivered. Are there any other alternatives then this? I'm just looking for a small return...that's all. Could I possibly get 1 or 2 BTC daily with a Butterfly single? I've read lots on other threads, still can't post or respond and a lot of posts are about thermal grease, waterblocks, all the stuff I'm not interested in right now. I'm still at the very beginning stages of seeing if buying a single or two is even worth it. Electricity will not be an issue. So, if you have real life experience with the Butterflylabs single and think it is a good return, please let me know. I thank you very much!
