work on that focus. too much blurry
Any photos in particular you'd like to see? Take a well focused pic of OTHER SIDE if the "Unknown processor - 0.25BTC" |

Exactly how small/is was Batch #1?
Maybe 300 theoretical units, supposedly.  |

I would say that most of the lost coins are the ones that were mined when Bitcoins were still seen as funny money, before they were $1 each. Using this data that was at the beginning of 2011. So see what total you get if you only count addresses that have had no incoming/outgoing transactions since 2010. Now that I think about it, anyone can deposit lint into an account to make it look active, but only the owner with full access could make a withdraw. So I'd personally consider any address without any withdraws since before 2011 as being lost. Once Bitcoins hit dollar parity, I'd think anyone looking to store them would move them into a new and more secure wallet. And yes, this is all hearsay/speculation/estimation/not 101% accurate  |

How about the fact that you've missed every deadline you've set so far, and you've set more than a few... |

Bumping will take less than a day, actually, but we are allocating two days just in case. Set up and tooling is what takes the most time, which is what we are trying to shave down.
See? I told you you need to write better. A COO should be more precise in his statements, especially when clad in his employee persona instead of the Super-Insult-Man costume. It's the cape that does it |

Where's the "Over 9000" option?
Since it's already 3,275,465 I don't see why  He meant "Over 9000 ,000,000". |

1.111 - We assembled them, but they were all stolen over the weekend. Looking at the security footage, it was Brad Pitt and George Clooney who done it, along with a few of their whimsical cohorts.

Can't he just run bitcoin with the -rescan command so his wallet re-syncs with his balance according to the blockchain?

indeed. sufficiently big quantum computer would be able to find a suitable block hash in arbitrarily short time thus ending the bitcoin for good.
Not sure if you realize, the difficulty will be raised to offset any speed a computer can throw at the network.. quantum computers work slightly different than ordinary computers in that they do not have to go through billions and billions of tries to find a hash below the threshold set forth by the difficulty. quantum computer would find the hash in a single step essentially in a time normal computer would take to calculate and try a single hash. so 1 Hash per second quantum computer produces one "below the threshold" block hash per second (assuming it exists at all) regardless of difficulty. Yeah, but where are you gonna find the 1.21 jigga watts of power that you need to run it? |

Is this for batch 2? Or just a general order?
|

That is a list of user submitted order information. It's only there if you post your order info on the forum. BFL didn't post any of it. |

EDIT: Looks like avalon falsified their real world numbers on their site, even after the fist machine was already in customers' hands. They updated them to "reflect customers' experience" to 620w for a 66Gh/s rig.
Given avalon's actual 9.4 W/Gh power consumption, I really doubt BFL can even accomplish 3 W/Gh, let alone 1. |

The term Buyer Beware has never been more applicable than when dealing with avalon.

If you can, get both.
Order the Avalons and the BFLs.
Mine with whichever arrive first.
Sell the Avalons when the BFLs arrive, or, if they're making more than what you're paying in interest, keep them.
As long as there's a waiting list for ASICs, there will be someone willing to take yours off your hands for the going rate.
Scratch that shit... After seeing this: Power numbers snapshot:
620 Watts, 5.6 Amps
thanks to Kill-A-Watt.
After all of their "No refunds, No proof" BS, how the fuck do you SHIP a 620w system while its still advertised as 400w on your website  I just can't give money to a company like that, even if I stand to profit from it, it's not worth getting sh#t in the face. I'm going with this guy: I'd still buy BFL. Their trade in policy means your initial investment has future value. I believe they will still provide a viable product that mines at a lower energy per hash cost which once all the ASIC's hit the market will make them the dominant mining platform.
Time will tell.
You've also got to consider BFL's lifetime warranty. |

Some really good replies here by some really knowledgeable people. It looks like bitcoin has caught up, technology wise, to the rest of the industry. Nothing major to come besides the obvious efficiency and manufacturing improvements, not before the next few reward splits anyway.
