I bet you people waiting for BFL to ship before you order regret that now. You realize this is just to try and stop the early preorder customers from asking for refunds, right? Lol, I have to wonder if they had to raised prices to cover increased refund request like a Ponzi scheme paying old customers with new customers money?  |

We had photos and BFL/Luke_Jr claimed it to have shipped, but it was a prototype on a test bench and never left the Butterfly Labs building. Luke_Jr was flown in at BFLs expense to do some programming so is more employee/consultant than customer, so not independent. Amazingly it seems to mine 25GH/s just like an old FPGA Mini Rig! Google "Sonny Vleisides" and see the past criminal record for an international lottery scam. I hope they deliver, for the sake of the Bitcoin project, but I'm not convinced.  |

Ati 7850 is a great card to get. Double the price and not much faster at mining. |

so no scammers because you can request refund. PayPal refunds have a 45 day dispute limit. If you pay in BTC they will refund you in $ (A.K.A. an arbitrage scam) They have their own mining pool and mining farm. It's not like they cannot lay their hands on any BTC. |

I would like to know what the best mining gpu is for under $100 Ati 5830 (£60/$90 on ebay) 260-300MH/s depending how far you overclock. Obviously with the recent interest in Bitcoin these cards will be in short supply right now. |

They've been 2 weeks away from shipping since October 2012. Bitforce SC (ASIC) products are in final stage development with initial shipping scheduled for the last half of February 2013.

MtGox UK bank account was closed with Barclays
Barclays own PingIt
One would suspect they don't want a virtual currency competing with their own.

In GUIMiner it says 10(7) yet there is nothing showing in my wallet. That's between you and the pool you're are mining on. I recommend 50BTC or BitMinter. There's usualy some limit before you get paid to avoid the transaction fee eating all your mining effort. Which will be the problem with such a low hash. My GPU is mining 13 mhash whereas my CPU is mining 8.3 yet my CPU is the only thing that appears to be doing anything/ I don't know how it works for GPU/CPU but when I mine on multiple GPUs I open multiple GUIMiner windows. |

You can get graphics card enclosures for your laptop, not cheap though, ViDock and MSI make them... ViDock  MSI  |

Wafer 1 was ONLY, 1.76w/GH. ONLY. That still means the jalapeno doesn't exist, and the minirig uses 2640 watts. You're way out.. The Little Single prototype was 160w/25GH/s = 6.4w/GH. So a 1500GH/s Mini Rig SC would need 60x LS units = 9600 watts! It looks like it will be about 2x as power efficient as the Avalon (assuming it was real and not just a FPGA Mini Rig doing the mining). |

You need to open the case and blow the dust out of the heatsink, a can of compressed air off ebay works good.
If that doesn't work you need to remove the heatsink and replace the thermal contact paste between the chip and the heatsink.

Power Supply Failure would be the first thing I'd look at.
They last about 3 years, but less if you run them above 50% load.
Don't forget to clean the dust in your power supplies people. It has fan and heatsink just like the PC.

Any computer will do just stick some cheap $90 Ati 5830's in it, download Bitcoin wallet, get a wallet address, join a mining pool, download GUIMIner, and they'll hash 300MH/s each if you overclock them right.

I would really like someone to put up a bet on a date when they will have 5 mini rigs operating in paying customers hands in the USA (really want to see if any BFLers take the other side). Mini Rig casings are all garbage at this point but if they do not figure this out and ship, they will basically be shipping fire starters and bitcoin will draw the wrath of the ignorant media when some idiot burns an apartment (or dorm) down "mining for millions". I have ZERO faith they will send anything to UL which could have MO shut them down after they start shipping since most munis do not allow untested electrical devices in their municipalities for this very reason.
It would be a good bet to create, because nobody is going to be able to run a 1500GH/s (now 1250GH/s) Mini Rig SC in their home @ 8000w 120v x 20A USA You're kitchen might have a 2400w rated socket for your cooker, everywhere else will be 1800w. 230v x 13A UK might get up to 3000w max on the kitchen cooker socket.  |

No idea how many chips are running in the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C4bgho5JSI...or if the thing hashing 25GH/s in the photos is a FPGA Mini Rig or an ASIC... ...but assuming it's a 4 chip 30GH/s Little Single @ 160w/25GH/s... 1) 4.5GH/s Jalapeño is toast, needs complete board redesign. USB bricks are out. 160w / 4 = 40w/3.75GH/s 2) 60GH/s SC Single is toast, needs an redesign with enormous cooler, and more voltage regulators for 160w x 2 = 320w/50GH/s 3) 1500GH/s Mini Rig SC likewise is going to have cooling, power issues, and require a bigger case for the bigger coolers. (If they built it, it would blow your home mains fuses anyway!) 320w x 25 SC Singles = 8000w/1250GH/s 1500Gh/s could be reached with 60x Little Singles but this would be 9600w! |

Like I said, I'll probably have them ship it to me when the rest of my order is ready to go as well. I certainly prefer they NOT ship it until at least the next difficulty adjustment I think the whole discussion is bollocks.
Shipped means shipped to customers. This product is not finished.
Yep, the bet was for shipping, not co-location, even Luke_Jr admits it wasn't shipped now. |

LOL it's 100% of a 25GH/s Mini Rig (FPGA) Would it be possible to take an IR photo of the device hashing? Most IR cameras I have used have PIP or SBS with standard digital cameras. You could quickly dispel this rumor by taking an IR photo with the same setup in the picture (showing hashrate). I'd like to see a video of it mining, showing first the usb lead being connected at both ends, and the mining program being started from scratch. |
