So I say that if we want to meet up this weekend lets just lock in October 7th at 4pm in Rancho Cucamonga.  Once I know what IIRC is I will contact either them or Yard House for a reservation so that we can get a spot.  Sounds like people would be ok with outside so I will get a spot outside so we can drink, watch football on the tv and talk.  Between now and Thursday if you want and think you can come to Rancho Cucamonga that afternoon let us know here on the form and that way we can see see what we get. 

Now I am just trying to get this set up, once we are there basically we need to bring our topics that we want to talk about and go from there so nothing formal.  Anyone who wants to take the lead there can I am just want to see if we can do this and then see what we can talk about.  So with that said expect to be there an hour or so for drinks, food and anything else.

Hell I will sweeten the pot, I will buy an appetizer for the group, see now you have to show up

Sorry not sure what IIRC is?  Little help

That is interesting.  I thought about putting my rig in a cooler, wine cabinet or something like that and what I could not get past is the condensation and or the risk of being to humid and then frying something.  I had an AC unit in a server rack but the cost to run it was too much.  The AC unit was killing the heat but it was also killing my profits so I killed it .

If you do the water cooled rig with a reservoir in the fridge post some pics.   

Ya I am not a big fan of the majority of news outlets but I posted this because someone else noted Iran popping with bitcoin activity.  It will be interesting to see if this keeps up and if bitcoin becomes more of an option versus people hording other currencies and or running the boarder to trade goods. 

Not sure what is going to happen but the more news about Iran the more something is going on.

Hey, nice setup.  I have almost the same thing.  Will get a shot (picture) off to compare.  Can you give a breakdown on the specs that went into yours.  It is like looking at mine but with a few less options and with some green. 

Butterfly Labs reveals final performance specifications for it's revolutionary ASIC hardware.

BitForce Jalapeno - 4.5gh/s @ 4.5w
BitForce Single SC - 60 GH/s @ 60w
BitForce MiniRig SC - 1,500 GH/s @ 1,500w

Power figures are +/- 10% of those listed while we finish optimizing our power subsystem.

NEW An as yet named 'Little Single' device which will hash at a rate of 30 GH/s and cost USD $649.00.

You may notice that these performance figures exceed that of our previously published specification by approximately 50%. Our intention was to eventually over deliver while also being conservative during development. We had planned to reserve this performance increase for a future firmware update and was one method we planned to use to protect our customers in the event of a price war. However, due to the maturity of our development and competition in the market, we felt it was time to clarify what customers will actually receive both in speed and particularly in power consumption so they can properly evaluate their options and make good decisions. We hope it's now easier to understand the closed lip approach of our ASIC line product development.

A pledge to our customers: Butterfly Labs has always been committed to our customers. With the transition to ASIC from FPGA, we offered a 100% buyback program on the purchase price of your FPGA units towards the purchase of one of our ASIC units. This is an offer currently unmatched by any other manufacturer. People have asked why would we do this? We do this because our mission is to stand behind our customers and preserve the value of their hardware investment through all market changes, now and in the future. Simply put, you can count on us to protect your mining investment.

In summary, all current orders are automatically 4.5 GH/s - 60 GH/s or 1.5 TH/s devices. You need do nothing, just wait for delivery.

Our Value pledge: As always, our focus has been on offering the most competitive product, both in terms of initial price but also the most competitive TCO in the industry. Our current power consumption targets for our first generation ASIC products are approximately 1 GH per watt, far and away the lowest power consuming units available at any price. Not only will our products perform faster than any other product currently available, it will also cost less to run now and in the future. As with our FPGA products, when the time comes for our second generation ASIC products, we will not forget our customers and will make every effort to transition you, the customer, to the second generation ASIC as easily, quickly and in the most cost effective manner as possible.

Somewhere on here someone posted seeing a popup of a bitcoin node in Iran.  Might want to keep a watch on that node.

Wow, that is an old pull there.  FUNNY    Don't forget the mint jelly, oh the mint jelly will go good

Rock on, this is great but keep working on the SC 

Wow, I feel honored  .  lol.  I will send you a PM next time I am out if you want to meet.

That is cool, just wanted to get an understanding.  Trust me I understand and I will PM you if I think of some stuff.

I am there every month for work or visiting familly, can I get an honorary spot? 

Don't know, I don't think there has been a So Cal meet but someone correct me if I am wrong.  I would expect at this meet up that we could talk about what we think is going on with BTC, see if there are ops to work together on stuff, share idea or at worst have a beer and share war stories.

Here, this will explain almost everthing I feel about facebook:

This is cool so a question, are you willing to work on ideas provided for other charts or would you rather just work on stuff as you think of it?  I only ask because if I think of some charting ideas I would like to see I would be happy to share the ideas if you want them but if good then happy to use what is developed.

I am about ready to give it a shot and pull down a RPI just because when the difficulty goes up I am not sure I will still want to deal with my video card production so then I won't really need to have a full time CPU for this and if an RPI can do it then why not.  I have not seen anyone yet hook up a bunch of BFL singles and or a mini-rig to an RPI but like it was said above won't know until we try.  If someone has or does try this please share because I think this will become a popular option.

That is great and please share, this is not easy and allot of SWAG going on but I think that the majority opinion on this type of discussion give a stronger picture going forward.

Cool, I am sure others will see then and let us know.  For now lets offer the following ideas for days and times with this local:

1. October the 3rd at 6:30 pm Wednesday
2. October the 7th at 4:00 pm Sunday
3. October the 8th at 6:30 pm Monday

So these are some idea dates and times that I know I can support but I also know some of you can do weekdays easier then weekends, that is why I put up the dates and times the way I did.  Now if you like the location (by the way it is at a major shopping mall with a bunch of other places so we are not stuck if it is not what the majority wants) but the times listed are not great then offer something else you think might work for most of us to attend.  If we can get this figured out by say this Saturday then I can call down and lock in an area where we can all sit and talk and those that can make it do and those that don't can make the next one.  This location has many highways coming in and or around so getting in and out should be easy for most. 

Lets see if we can make a meeting happen 

I would but I can't be there for the whole conference and so I would not be interested in buying a ticket only to attend for a day.  I would be interested if it is ok to come to a meeting held for non-ticket holders who would like to talk about regional Bitcoin ops.

Fuck, not another facebook page.  I get why they did it but man I hate facebook.
