I'll try to get to some of the issues later tonight.  I'm traveling back from California today.

US1 actually isn't back... I need to fix that.  I will be moving US1 to it's new home next week.

NMC is going away though.

Whoops!  You're right, sorry I done fix'd it Smiley  Been a busy day and headed to the airport early tomorrow to meet with the packaging engineers and our ASIC guys... going to be a long day.

No Bryan, I'm not trashing Bitpays thread to respond to your ignorance and stupidity.  Unlike you, I pay respect to people who deserve it.  You're just a punk bitch who can't tell his head from his ass.

PS - Still waiting for the "Fuck You Machine" you promised me.
1245  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bet between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?) on: January 15, 2013, 08:33:45 PM
Just to clarify, I am not making the bet.  I'm just stating that if anyone were to make a bet with Bryan Miscam, you should definitely escrow.  There's no way a character like him would pay out when he lost.

Oh I guess I can lock this topic huh?

Yes, all communication will be happening in the other thread listed in Epoch's post from now.

You've summed it up nicely Epoch, thanks. 

At this point, I'm not sure I see a need to specifically combine the shares since the code is in and the share type is separate in the DB it's largely academic.  Although I will likely be upgrading all of the singles to a minirig and paying the difference just for the sake of simplicity in management. If someone were to want to actually trade in shares for a single, it might become an issue which is my only concern at this point.
1250  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bet between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?) on: January 15, 2013, 02:28:38 PM
I would definitely demand an escrow if anyone were to bet.  Bryan is a scammy sack of shit and I would not trust him to pay out a dime when he lost.
1251  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bet between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?) on: January 15, 2013, 05:33:43 AM
Ah nice, I found the bet I was thinking of.  

So... Micon drags my name out and calls me and my company a scammer.  He is ABSOLUTELY SURE OF IT no question about it and he's willing to bet... wait for it... 10 BTC.  A whopping $140.  This is a "Pro poker player" mind you... he's got a sure thing and he's willing to wager a meager $140.  A "Pro Poker Player" that wore a WSOP bracelet that belonged to someone else so he'd look important, but is nothing more than a failed proprietor of a failed poker system that everyone thinks is a joke.  Now THAT is what I call a scam... sell a bogus poker system and then blame it on the player when they lose, genius.  Never mind the fact that Bryan can't even use his own system to win.

What a crock of shit.  He's offered a 1000 BTC bet on a sure thing and he refuses. Some pro gambling awesomeness right there.

Says a lot about his character... but we already knew about his character.  He's a piece of shit and the rest of the internet knows it.  Pony up Bryan... take the 1000 BTC bet.  It's a sure thing according to you, what do you have to lose?  If you don't take that bet, you need to shut the hell up because it's obvious you are lying out of your ass otherwise.

PS - Still waiting on that "Fuck you machine" you promised me. (And I still don't know what it even is)

As an example, I tell you I am ready to ship and fulfill all pre-orders in October 2012. Then in Mid-January I retell the same tale and say that we only received a small number of chips in October and found a problem. How do you explain that discrepancy? Weren't they supposed to be shipping in mass in October? Why didn't Josh say they received a large number of chips in October to fulfill their massive pre-orders? Is this a typo or a mistake?

Did you all know (by now) how long it takes to bake chips at the Fab? Do you all know that BFL has stated that they were using a technique which involved holding the chips half baked to test the quality of their design...and once sure...complete the other wafers or make adjustments. You do realize (I hope) that BFl was using a dense chip with many more layers (than their competitors) and that each layer takes about a day to deposit in the manufacturing process. (30+ Layers)

Holy shit PuertoLibre, you've somehow, incredibly, managed to out do yourself this time.  You'e managed to pack more fail into two paragraphs than I thought was even possible.  I'll let someone else explain why everything you said here is so completely idiotic that it may be impossible to know where to even begin correcting you (I would vote for 8.9 months before you were born and it involves a coat hanger and a bottle of JD).

Once again, it's not the ASIC chips themselves that have the problem... it's the surrounding components.  The maximum temperature we saw (in simulations) in the QFN package was 95C with a max of 121C.  However, the MCU and a few other components had a ~100C maximum temp.  With 8 of these units, the heat simply builds up under the QFN plastic and sheds into the ground plane, transferring all that heat throughout the entire 92mmx92mm board.  So at least 20w or 30w of heat is being dissipated on a 92mm board that has very poor thermal dissipation properties.

BFL's made a poor strategic choice here - they're in a market that calls for the "marginally adequate products" and they are creating something else entirely.

Possibly... but I think it's more likely that we'd be right back here in several months with people calling us all sorts of names for forcing an upgrade cycle on them again and calling us greedy assholes for forcing people to upgrade so we can grab more cash.  Instead, we chose to provide a product that will be viable for a long time, far longer than any other product.  You'll still be mining with our first gen product well into the third or fourth gen Avalon, if they ever make it that far.

Originally, BFL_Josh said the ASIC devices were capable of running in ambient temperatures of 32F to 95F.
I take this to mean that at 95F the device will reach its thermal limit and pop. 95F is about 35C.

Without throttling.  Finish the rest of the sentence.  A completely finished unit with programmed with proper MCU code would be very unlikely to destroy itself in a hot environment, it would just throttle constantly.

Also in that lovely 80pt red font you quoted you forgot to mention the fact that 121C is the maximum junction temperature.  The maximum temperature we saw on the simulation was 95C inside the ASIC chips themselves, so it's kind of irrelevant.

P.S. Avalons' device is tested to work up to 105F (ambient temperatures).

That's a good trick, since they don't even have a device to test with. But don't let facts get in the way of your bullshit, please continue.

1255  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: BFL ASIC is bogus on: January 14, 2013, 11:18:50 PM
Sure, I re-affirm it.  Our devices would literally melt if they came in at 114w or more. 

Thanks for reminding me... I think I have another bet for a more substantial amount with someone but bugger all if I remember who.  I guess I will have to dig back in my posts.

What is this sleep you speak of?  It is relevant to my interests and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

As some of you are aware, EMC's interface has been going through a revamp process.  I am almost ready to deploy the new UI.

Later today or possibly tomorrow, I will drop the new files into place, so you will magically see the new interface the next time you connect.  We will be switching from a predominantly black and red theme to a predominantly white and orange theme, so be prepared!

Huh... 14th, then the 19th, now it's the 21st? 

Interesting...

You get very little irony in your diet, true...?


It's not irony when I'm pointing out that they are doing the exact same thing they have been vilifying us for.  So, yeah, I guess it's irony, but not on my part.

BitSyncom: We are shipping on the 14th! BFL you keep pushing your date back, it is dishonest to push your date back!
BitSyncom: We are shipping on the 19th! BFL you keep pushing your date back, you suck because you keep missing your date!
BitSyncom: We are shipping on the 21st! BFL you keep pushing your date back, we've only pushed it back two days!

I guess we'll see in another 7 days.  Irony indeed.
1259  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Announcement] Avalon ASIC Development Status [Batch #1] on: January 14, 2013, 04:02:07 PM
You're right... they haven't provided any evidence they have a product other than some documentation.
