Interested in what you do with this BUT I doubt you will get far.
The Monte Carlo and other bitstreams is just a pathetic excuse for them to promote this as "not only a BTC miner" ( which it blatantly is ) but that it can also do other things.
Them 'drivers' http://www.butterflylabs.com/drivers/Indeed. It seems they provide this to attract large customers for their BFL units but I think this will not appeal to many becuase the costs of "custom" solutions is often significant. |

So the new Single will do approximately 1400 mhash/s using 2 chips so that is 700 mhash/s per chip ?
28nm FPGA ?

Watching as I have an itch for a gtx 680 for gaming stuff. Would also much prefer mining to go with the package. Right now I would choose the 7970 completely based on mining/gaming performance.
I think we are going to be watching for a long time because it seems nobody is interested in getting Nvidia to be competitive in mining against AMD  |

I don't have a clue about intel as I'm AMD all the way. But this is running atm with 11 GPUS using qemu-kvm and it's going really nicely  The 8th GPU issue is fixed by not having it on the mobo during driver install so that's a fairly simple fix. Atm I'm working on a proper rig case for 2x extender and MSI GD 70 mobo including PSU mounts. I fully expect that 2-3 of these extenders attached to a single rig is fully doable by instead of assigning individual GPUs to each VM assigning each controller to each VM in order to simplify the process. If anyone has any kind of experience with doing something like that please share I am sure you are bound to hit some limit sooner or later. 32 GPUs I think is the max even for Nvidia per one system board. |

Seems like diablo and poclbm now fail to compile on SDK 2.1 and seg fault.
Not a problem just letting others know on 5870s.
Use diakgcn or phatk with 5870s and SDK 2.1
It seems that diakgcn is not as good as phatk.

An update.
I did all the proper steps and modifications to try and get this working on my reference ATI 5870s.
Will post back later with some results but on first sight the VRM temps are too low to be real and probably just core temps.
Runeks fork was even worse and did not even show anything other than "supported device".
Again, 100% reference ATI branded 5870s here ...

Iceland and Ukraine price it at $0.04 per Kw, in Iceland you benefit from cold environment too so no cooling costs.
Too bad the language is very different from English in those countries  |

Has ANYONE in the UK received their unit ?
Anybody in the EU ?
What are the costs of import.
BFL, any news on that plan of yours to avoid duty for EU customers ?
Thank you !
We have some plans regarding that. Will apply it to the first shipment to EU. Good Luck, So nobody in the EU has ordered anything yet from you ? Or are you doing a sort of group EU buy / export without taxes ? Thanks ! |

Just out of curiosity, why do you have all these FPGA dev board makers (like Ztex and Trenz) in Germany and who are their customers outside of the Bitcoin world? I just can't imagine that they actually sold enough of these boards to make a living and pay taxes, company, etc... ? But then again, I know nothing about this market.
I get the feeling that a lot of people don't quite understand what FPGAs are exactly. That aside, I'm thinking that the Ztex guy(s) don't do this as their primary source of income. I'd hazard a guess to say that these guys are engineers who are doing this on the side (with the obvious exceptions). Yes, and I also think a lot of people that frequent message boards don't use search engines anymore  GIYF "fpga applications" Just from my own job: I'm in MRI Physics. Our MRI machines have numerous FPGAs in them each. Both for signal synthesis and processing. And I think GE is doing well enough with medical equipment? Our institution actually developed our own RF signal receiver and we used an FPGA that was originally designed for applications like radar. And the list goes on... Because FPGAs were there before Bitcoin and because they are produced in sufficiently high numbers for industry applications, they are economically feasible for Bitcoin mining at this point at all. Not the other way round. Edit: FPGA development boards by themselves would not be economically self-sustainable IMHO, they are there to develop a mass produced FPGA application. Bitcoin certainly gave the sales for those boards a boost. I would really like to see a miner try and sell his used FPGAs for some medical unit. The types of people that buy FPGAs are industrial / enterprise and I bet they would not ever buy some random mining board without enough I/O pins but would go to Altera / Xilinx direct for a custom FPGA solution since the market is not that big. Good luck getting rid of the FPGA paperweights after the gold stream dries up ! They are REALLY hard to sell off since nobody but a few applications use them. |

Is the company UK based ?
If so, I think they have to give folks in the EU a 2 year warranty as mandated by EU law.

It's very likely board #1 will ship this Monday as the supplier has all the parts he's just assembling the boards and testing them (we have full warranty). Board #2 is almost completely paid for and guaranteed to ship within three to four weeks. After board #2 has been delivered and all shares issued I'm predicting the dividend to be 0.00333BTC per share each week at current difficulty and exchange rates. After the IPO is over and if the motion goes in favour of issuing more shares then they may be offered at 0.4BTC each as the new dividend after the extra shares are issued would be ~0.45BTC per share each week plus it would give early investors the opportunity to cash out at a profit on their early share purchases. If we do issue more shares me acting as the CEO will keep 5% of them but more shares will only be issued on the basis of raising the dividend significantly. I only awarded my self 50 shares of the original 1900 shares as the CEO salary and I don't have lots of money to invest that's why I made the company public on the GLBSE to raise the funds but feel I should be paid a salary for being CEO and running the company. Also once we are operating at 2.4GH/s(@125W) and greater RSM will be keeping 2% of all profits or 1BTC a month whichever is greater to buy back the shares in RSM to increase the company's value.
What is this "full warranty" and how long is it  Thanks ! |

After thinking more about this, I think he is trolling us all.
ASIC project in Bitcoin is not viable for at least 2 years.
I cannot see anybody that will be stupid enough to invest into this fallacy ...

Nvidia just cut all integer and double precision support to fit 1536 crappy shaders. We have to wait for the high end Kepler.
Care for a link ? As much as I love AMD vs Nvidia mining competition it really does look like Kepler totally SUCKS for mining Or maybe the GTX 680 is the card that is for gaming only and designed to crush 7970 prices ? Thanks ! |

If you succeed, you will make a lot of people lose a lot of money.
I know. They, however, will not be able to claim that they have not received a fair and advance warning. Vladimir, you are my hero! How do I invest? Fuck, if I can't invest, then how can I donate? I think this will lead to the end of bitcoin and the rise of a new cryptocurrency. However, if bitcoin survives, then it will be up to you to make it successful, Vladimir. I hope you try to fund other lines of business that will create uses for bitcoin with your profits. Why so much anti-BTC slant in your posts, canicula The current system is perfect; there is nothing to be improved on.  I don't see why the hate ... |

Does this mean that something is wrong with the hardware or just annoying but nothing wrong ?
I have experienced this myself on 5870s. If I run furmark you can actually hear the GPU working and no, I am not insane.
Similar thing when watching a hardware accelerated video.
Is this a defect or just normal / annoying ?
I also noticed a bigger coil whine from my PSUs but I think that is normal because of the big transformers and whatnot inside.
Thanks !

I think price will double when the reward cuts in half in December.
Supply halfs, demand same so price doubles.
Buying and holding all I can in the meantime.
I would expect no less than $10 in December for sure.
If it is one good thing that SoiledCon showed us, it is this. When block reward was cut price immediately rose.
I don't think people already priced in this decrease beforehand ...
