I can almost see the metals price dropping already ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) In'it it's so they can set the price of there raw materials. Why do you think they won't let the renminbi float and there also the biggest holder of US debt after the Fed plus the Fed is only now the biggest holder because of all there own quantitative easing there pumping in. there != their != they're What a mess... And what the hell means "In'it it's"? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) In'it is British slang for isn't it. As for the rest can I blame my dyslexia?

Bitcoin historically has been very unstable but over the last four months has been stable hovering around a constant with no major rises. This is just the market correcting its self.

What is the ticker? Please put a link to your security's GLBSE page at the top of OP.
Done.

What I'll do is hold off a while for more info on whether a Rpi FPGA farm is possible. If not I'll offer my PC expert builder friend £200 for the latest Atom PC built. The other Atom that would cost us £150 in total come out spring 2008 and the dearer option come out last winter. If we can get the latest model for £200 built we could make that £50 back in LTC mining. If its going to cost much more than £200 (I've seen barbones systems for £210 the cheapest on eBay) then we'll go with the older cheaper Atom.

As far as I know no one has set up a FPGA farm yet on a Rpi but people have managed to run individual boards or two OK but not on P2Pool because the Rpi runs off SD card. I could get a cheap reconditioned PC with warranty for £70-£100 but they all have 200W PSU's so will probably using over 100W while running. So a normal cheap PC (£100) is going to cost us up to £2.50 a week. An Atom PC (£150-£200) about £0.40 a week. A Rpi (£45) even less electricity but were not 100% sure it'll be suitable yet.

Would it be OK to run a ModMiner farm off a RaspberryPi 24/7 with a USB hubs.

We got a $100 refund because the boards are late and the supplier has put us 800MH/s up for us until the boards arrive. They also promised to have them shipping by next week. It would be easier to use a x86 PC over a ARM RaspberryPi and a traditional hard-drive would last longer than a SD card in the Rpi plus you can't use P2Pool off the Rpi on SD card. Plus I would need a lot of help trying to set a Rpi up I've seen this 10W Atom PC board for £67.50 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Innovation-Series-D2700DC-Desktop-Motherboard-Atom-D2700-Intel-NM10-Expres-/160806968793?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopMotherboards_CPUs_CA&hash=item2570d79dd9#ht_4881wt_907 - that is the latest Atom so should keep us going for years to come plus we could do a bit of LTC mining in the background for very cheap. I know a PC expert who could order that model for us and all the rest of the parts build it all for us and offer us a good warranty. It would be cheaper than buying one pre-built. I'll email him on how much for a complete Atom PC ready to go using that board which is the most up to date one. Or I could get a cheap reconditioned low power PC with warranty ready to go for less than £100 but it would use more electricity than an 10W Atom board. So what do you think pay more for lower power Atom PC, or a normal cheap reconditioned low power PC for £70-£100 or stick with the £50 RaspberryPi idea. I really want to use a low power PC over a Rpi as I know what I'm doing with that. Plus the Rpi runs off a memory card so we can't use P2Pool.

I will give an update within 24hrs on the status of the tracking code and on whether it has updated. If it updates within the next 12hrs then we should have both Rev4 boards between this Friday to Monday.

hello
I work with ceo of RSM , i am investor in RSM
we ordered your boards long time ago before anyone else , we still havent got them while everyone else getting them along with 9% discount
are we going to get 9% , has our 2 boards been sent yet ?
how come we never got them first before everyone else , since we ordered them first ?
How do you know the order of the purchases? It was public in our Red Star Mining thread So you know when the card that was shipped to me was ordered? Sorry crossed wires I think ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

I think taking peoples money for over three months before delivering a product is bad for consumers although I don't know if it is illegal if they told you the lead times. That recent announcement they made is really bad for competitors tho and I don't think they can live up to it. I just hope OpenBitASIC or Enterpoint can blow them out of the water with an actual product, price and delivery.

We talked with easic and solution was not suitable, I cannot give more details due to NDA restraints.
Well, I'm not under an NDA, but I'm somewhat familiar with the business. Full open sourcing is a non-starter for any semiconductor vendor manufacturing on any modern, close-to-the-edge process. Too much proprietary information would have gotten disclosed about the process, the problems with it, testing structures used to monitor yield, etc. I'm thinking of several possible ways forward: 1) deliberately use any somewhat-obsolete process that doesn't disclose much about the fabrication that is already otherwise known; 2) make the project only partially open-source, beyond certain point everything becomes closed source and the only remaining openness is in ability to order the finished product by somebody else than the original designer; 3) deliberately derate the performance by using semi-custom design methodology (cell-library) and incorporate some internal speed-limiter or contiguous self-test with auto-disable when operated out of the agreed specification. One way that I know we could not apply into this project is: 4) lease the chips from the semiconductor vendor instead of buying them. The chips could be only used in the approved equipment and would have to be returned to the vendor for destruction upon the completion of their expected lifetime. This way the vendor gets a protection against reverse engineering of their process and fabrication facilities. I still wish good luck to gusti, his undertaking is far away from the usual stuff that the semiconductor vendors hear all the time. Couldn't they work with or knick ideas from OpenRISC ASIC - http://opencores.org/donation - I'm not expert but seems like the only other opensource ASIC project?

Obviously not you, since you don't have the balls to come up with some proof. Secondhand, my ass.
NO SHIT SHERLOCK.http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/allegation?s=tallegation noun - 1. the act of alleging; affirmation.
- 2. an assertion made with little or no proof
- 3. an assertion made by a party in a legal proceeding, which the party then undertakes to prove
- 4. a statement offered as a plea, excuse, or justification.
"balls to come up with some proof." What kind of retarded statement is that anyways? I personally don't believe they're utilizing second hand chips. However, that's just my assumption, be it correct or not. That's why it's an allegation genius. Furthermore, it's not beyond the realm of reality. Example: http://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/15/business/packard-bell-settles-class-action-suit.htmlSo do tell me, why would anyone start an expensive lawsuit over what are nothing more than allegations? You realize that every lawsuit starts on the basis of allegations, right? You then (hopefully) procure the evidence to support or deny the allegations proving or disproving them as fact. It's a colloquial statement, but to entertain you: Something like what BFL is doing could potentially ruin an otherwise successful business. Does it even matter? Stereotypically Americans (which I'm not) love to sue. I'd think this doesn't need any explanation. Class action law suit coming on because yeah Americans love to sue because where's there's blame there's a claim

this is unfortunate on both sides...
mercantilist chinese overpaying for foreign assets... again.
westerners fearing neo-mercantilism when it has no power.
I think its the fact it will be now owned by an authoritarian government with one of the world biggest and fastest growing economy's which is also largely owned by its authoritarian government.

Cool I hadn't noticed or possibly even forgot about charts on blockchaininfo thanks.

BFL won't even start shipping for over nine months yet I reckon and then the'll be very slow coming. They only made that announcement to suck in more FPGA sales with there buy back offer and I reckon the units they produce will actually be twice the price for half the hashing power they just announced. I expect FPGA's bought at least in the next three months to pay them self's back with a profit yet so I'm still buying them until OpenBitASIC - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76351.0 - start tacking pre-orders. Opensource-hardware for opensource-software all they way.
