значит на это время курс должен упасть?

А сильно велика-ли разница, если BFL будет 2 дня 600 Тх эксплуатировать или неделю? Сложность меньше чем за сутки взорвется.

Уже в пути

Запустил кошель лайтовый, а он не синхронизируется. Новые блоки не читаются.

Лайт еще жив вообще?

Похоже что тото же развод не? http://www.btcmax.ru/

Кто что скажет?

Не для кого не секрет, что в скором времени ставки на майнинг будут занижены в 2 раза.

мы получаем достаточно BiCoin

Многие уже в этому убедились.

Наша задача обеспечить Вас качественным программным обеспечение и в наших интересах делать Ваш доход стабильно больше. Как известно, чем больше клиентов у компании - тем больше нужно сотрудников для обеспечения поддержки своих клиентов, а мы не горим желанием расширять штат.
По этому, на фоне происходящего, наш майнинг будет самым актуальным на сегодняшний день.

Но в случае с асиками для майнинга биткоинов думаю затраты в разы меньше, так как архитектура обкатана на фпга.

Ну если архитектура обкакана, то с какого перепуга производительность асиков должна быть на несколько порядков выше ?

Троль какого уровя 96-го ?

Guys, I am really sorry we are delayed. I wish I could convey the angst it produces over here... (Apologies for this wall of text in advance, TL;DR at the bottom.)

Let me give you a little background on myself, maybe to paint a picture of what's going on here. Before BFL existed, I worked for a large financial institution. I (and my team) kept the financial backend for some of the largest banks in the US running 24/7. It was an interesting job, but I made the environment as self-sustaining as possible, so my stress level was fairly low unless something drastic broke. I'm all about a low stress environment as a way of life. I agreed to come on board BFL because I believe in Bitcoin and also, having met with the BFL crew, I knew it would be a pretty awesome place to work. What I didn't know was how much stress is involved in pushing one of these ASICs out the door.

Keeping a multi-billion dollar financial system running is nothing compared to developing a new product for rabid fans, most of which are blindingly intelligent and sharp as razor blades. The level of intelligence in the Bitcoin community (with some notable exceptions) is far above and beyond what you see in many industries as a whole, save for possibly Gaming. Maybe this comes with the territory of being on a new frontier. Typically only the very destitute or very intelligent are at the forefront of a new frontier.

As most of you know, I was pretty big into mining before BFL and during the rise of BFL, so I understand the mindset, the desire and the stress that mining brings. I was not the largest mining farm out there, but I had a pretty considerable farm, topping out around 40 GPUs at one point.When BFL first popped up on the radar, it was pretty hard to believe what they were claiming (and it turns out, of course, that it was off by a considerable factor in terms of power)... however the fundamental offering of BFL was pretty awesome - the fastest, cheapest FPGA for Bitcoin mining available (and still is, even a year later). Coincidentally, my office was, literally, across the street from the registered address of BFL at the time.It turned out to be an apartment complex, as BFL was a start up and did not have an actual office at the time. After some back and forth, some of the BFL staff agreed to meet with me and show me some of their prototype hardware.

It was at this moment that BFL actually became a real thing and not some BS scam. I'm not saying I'm the best judge of character on the planet, but I'm pretty good at scam detection and after meeting the staff and seeing the hardware, I was cautiously optimistic that there was something special here. The night I met them, I also talked to Nassir via Skype about technical details, which lended further credence to the legitimacy. I offered (both to the Bitcoin community and to BFL) to hook up their devices directly to one of my pool servers in an isolated environment to prove that it worked and wasn't some elaborate scam. Several weeks later, we did just that, and work it did... if a bit shaky, but it was a prototype after all.

I was pretty convinced at this point, but not quite convinced enough to throw down money. Time and progress moved on and BFL showed a more finished product, this time at 80w instead of 20w and the hashrate reduced to 832 MH/s... it was convincing and I threw down $30,000 for hardware. BFL had progressed from an idea to a product in the span of a few months, and started shipping that actual product only a couple more months after that. Please stop and consider this for a moment - they were able to go from paper to a fully working product based on techniques, software and hardware that had never been done before and that was far more polished than any other of the offerings out there in the space of less than a year. This is actually pretty amazing if you think about it.

Fast forward to the summer of 2012.. I was putting in some minirigs into one of my datacenters, a large order. BFL was there, along with the customer who had purchased over $100k in minirigs and we were talking and I just happened to mention that I was getting bored with my current employment. From that idle comment, we discussed the fit of me running the production portion of BFL and after several weeks we came to an agreement and I decided to move part and parcel over to BFL. I am not a PR guy (as many of you have figured out), I am an engineer by trade and I like to make things go fast in the most efficient manner possible... be it hardware or systems (such as people on assembly lines). I'm also fulfilling the role of mining community advisor, since that is what I do/did before BFL as a large part of my free time. There are things in the mining community that are just incomprehensible to the outside world, and if you aren't deeply involved in the mining community, they are things you just would not have any clue about. I advocate inside (and outside) BFL to do the things that support the mining community, even if it means less profit or things that make the business more difficult to run.

I say all this because I am leading up to the fact that I feel your pain on the delays and I understand the anger. The things we are doing, the changes that have been made and that we are making is to the benefit of the mining community. We really thought we could get the parts out by at least the end of October, but it is just one small thing after another that kept delaying things by a day or two here a week there, until it's suddenly the middle of November. Do we know things are going to be delayed weeks in advance? No, contrary to popular belief, we don't. We are running on a razor thin schedule, and we often don't know more than a few days in advance as to what the disposition is of this part or that part or what have you. Then, when we finally have a better idea of what the delay means, we have to discuss how we want to handle it - do we find another vendor and try to fix the time line? Do we continue on and suck up the delay? Do we press the vendor and/or throw more money at them to get them to speed up? There are lots of options and sometimes it takes time to work through them, especially when that vendor or facility is on the other side of the world and it's 2AM there and we have to wait until they wake up.

Once all that's done, I am forced to come to the forums and explain the delay and it kills me a bit each time, because I know how much it sucks. We spend a large part of our day (actually more towards the evening time) trying to figure out how to speed things up and get the chips out the door. It stresses us out a great deal when things don't work out like we intend, because we want to deliver on the best timeline possible. I have more grey hair now than I have ever had in my life. I wouldn't be here preaching to the choir if I didn't believe we had the best product available, I would just keep quiet like some other vendors do and let the speculation and false information run rampant.

I have not corrected people with regards to the timelines on our chips or what we have and haven't done because a) it's not really any use, the speculation is rampant and b) we really do have a pretty unique process going on behind the scenes that would be a competitive advantage to any competitors, and that's not something we want to advertise. Some of the speculation is close, some of it is reasonable but wrong and some of it (most of it) is just plain ludicrous. For the most part, I've found the people who speak with the most authoritative voice about what's going on behind the scenes of BFL are the most ridiculous, while those that are simply making statements seem to be much more accurate.

I write this big, long winded post because I am trying to convey the fact that I understand and empathize with the frustration of delay. We are doing everything in our power to minimize the delays and we have always given a timeline that we believed was possible. I really think many people will have a nice present to put under their Christmas tree this year. Everything is coming together and we are looking very good for the middle of December sometime... the date is still a bit fluid, but as soon as I know a more firm date, I will definitely post it.

TL;DR: We apologize for the delays. We are doing everything in our power to get the ASICs out as fast as possible and every delay kills us as much as it kills you. We don't want to post about delays. We have given our honest best estimate on timelines from day one, and even though we haven't met the October deadline, we are doing everything in our power to get the chips ready to ship.

Что в этом такого ?

Была лёгкость при воспроизведении фильмов и флеш-роликов. Была...
А что до линукса, то есть проги под винду, которые в вайне не живут.

Мне тоже эти дрова подкинули "драйвер перестал отвечать и был успешно восстановлен". Мучительно удалял, вычищал систему, ставил разные версии дров, в итоге поставил 12.10, но прежняя лёгкость системе не вернулась, пришлось снизить агрессию, пока не дошли руки до переустановки системы.

В большинстве случаев - не помогает!
Ставят лиценционный софт, а потом, вместо вдумчивой настройки (которая, кстати, требует не хилой подготовки) - разрешают ВСЁ!!!! - типа, забодал он своими предупреждениями и непонятными вопросами. Работа под Админом - отдельная песня...

вообще-то нет... но она тоже обдувается... на ощупь градусов 40...

Дык он ничего и не должен уметь, кроме как искать BTC на два порядка быстрее всего остального железа

один из вариантов. я к тому что все так ждут асики, а готовы ли они через пол года ко второй гонке например

Вот и bASIC переносится, уже на середину января, сетует на проблемы с разработчиками дизайна платы и поиском новой фирмы.

я тут прикинул, для того чтобы обеспечить сегодняшнюю мощность сети асиками от бфл нужно всего лишь:
ну или около 47780 карт HD 7970 которые шарашат по 550 Мх... вот такая вот математика...
