prof7bit, the people demand bitfloor support  Belay that order, disregard. |

Is there somewhere we can sign up to buy one of these when they are available? This, any news? |

This would be fantastic, except that Arduino probably can't handle gigs of hashes every second, it wasn't designed to handle calculations and high speed i/o.
Arduino Due (Arm based), if needed, but regular AVR ATMega328 can do 115kbaud Async Serial no problem. edit: could also consider LPCExpresso, or rPi |

Avalon chips are for sale?
|
|

So far, the company has been professional, honest, had a good attitude about it. 0/10 Either the troll force is strong with you, or you've got some sort of cognitive impairment. BFL Josh has been a shit-talking fool since day one. Even, no, especially before Avalon shipped, he was consistently trolling these forums and elsewhere. Professional, no. Not in the least. Not even back when there was a chance they could succeed. BFL got in over their head, which might have been forgivable except for the following: - they doubled-down and used their pre-order money to buy ads to get more pre-order money with which they hoped to try and dig themselves out.
- They allowed their troll to roam these parts and... troll, to no useful end.

This is rad thanks prof7bit. Now if Mtgox will just handle their business.

Sure, a paper box with a glued butterfly labs logo.
What's your point? We've seen cardboard racks for rigs, strawberries drying over open rigs and cooling done by dumping liquid nitrogen on the floor. Standard bitcoin hardware. Dumping LN on the floor is also an awesome way to clean it. All of the dust is floated to the lowest point. Works like a charm. |

There is no choice, BFL is the only company that have product for sell now
There are plenty of other scammers who will take your money and make you promises. |

Im going to start work on a modular design. Thinking of towers of cards with 10 or less chips per card. One is the main controller that interfaces to the PC and power supply. With a maximum of 5 to 8 cards per stack. Cooling is my biggest concern at the moment.  Any suggestions which micro we should use? So we have a common base for these open source projects. A common host interface would save considerable amounts of development time. I'm familiar with AVR, PIC32 and TI's Stellaris . Regarding manufacturing: i can get larger batches made. AVR (best open source toolchain availability IMO) |

Their engineering team is a joke if they haven't fixed the lag and put online a decent trading engine after MONTHS AND MONTHS of time. They completely blew their lead in the field and will just become a mediocre exchange soon enough. From what I've heard there is no "team". It's just one guy. The 18 year old PHP wiz... thats usually how these things work. There is no such thing as a PHP "wiz" Anyone who qualifies as a "wiz" knows better than to use PHP for anything critical or important. |

Anybody have a footprint for the Avalon ASIC? No sense waiting around.

Down for me in Texas. Was up an hour ago.

... (depending ultimately on power costs) but rest assured the big spenders are in the same boat unless they have sourced cheap power. Edit: Just saw Puppet's post which more-or-less says the same. No harm in repeating though  ASICs (Avalon) are something like 100x more power efficient than video card rigs. |

...user submitted order information. It's only there if you post your order info on the forum.
BFL didn't post any of it.
Okay thanks, that's better. I think it's great to let everyone have an idea of the H/s that are coming online, but it wasn't clear to me that all of the info was submitted by users. I should have paid more attention. |

Remember, if you need to reject your waste heat (ie do you use air conditioning in your home?) then you may as well double (and then some) the power usage for your efficiency calculations.
Another way to say it is if you dump 600 watts of heat into your living space, you'll need more than 600 watts of A/C to remove it.

Fairly sensible restrictions, but it is a little painful to post non intresting comments to everything. Newbies is a endless stream of one word posts and similar.
Well then, post interesting comments. |

what would people consider a decent rig to mine for profit and the average cost
Don't go lower than 30 Mh/s/$ at ~25W. Or in other words, nothing that isn't ASIC. |

Hi, I've uh got 5 hrs and 12 minutes on the clock and at least a dozen posts, yet I'm still in newb-purgatory. Help please?
