I take it that is too complex for you to estimate?
Shut up, Josh. FYI - just to add some more amusing information on the subject  Bicknellski sent one to ckolivas - even though ckolivas asked him to send it to me since ckolivas is rather short on time to do the driver at the moment ... though I had a requirement before I'd consider writing the driver, and that was that their next batch price wasn't a rip off like the first batch. Anyway, Bicknellski wouldn't send it to me. No big deal it is only 2.5GH/s - and wont make much BTC at all for the time and effort to support it - but it probably also means a driver delay for those who paid him all that BTC  No big deal - one less BTC hardware item to add to my growing list of hardware that I support for the community even when they don't make a profit for me It will be done by ckolivas soon enough and he'll support it - so again no big deal. The only side effect will be that if anyone asks me for support of them I'll refer them to ckolivas - yet again no big deal I appreciate the anecdote, but could you have made it without coming across as more of a self-important, arrogant and pompous douche-bag ? Anyway, this thread is not about you. *hugs* PS: As to your driver delay, hell has frozen over, and BFGMiner has been rock-solid running my Erupter USB's for almost (heh) two weeks now, and I'll be using it to drive the BF1's as it's already supported. |

What does this have to do with the BF1?
I believe his root argument is that mining with these, or any other available ASIC today, is not profitable, and feels the need to preach this like the fate of our species relies on that knowledge. Begs the question why he's into writing mining software to begin with, if not to get free ASIC's as a form of profit. |

You've got some serious narcissism problems, dude, and are lobbing dangerous accusations of delusions from your glass house.
You're posting your delusions * - no proof - as is typical.  EDIT: I see you've been studying hard at the Zerlan Institute of Public Relations, huh ?  Typical. |

There's nothing wrong with being a hobbyist. But it's a known secret that with rising diff and high prices only the seller will make a profit. Everyone can decide for itself but for newbies it's nothing but fair if people like Kano point out that stuff wont be profitable.
Ya that is true too bad he doesn't do that same service to warn people off BFL seems pretty suspect... Posting lies to cover something up? What's he hiding? ... It is a worry when someone who is selling hardware is knowingly doing this. I have replied specifically to you posting this, twice before: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269950.msg2956636#msg2956636And: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=292118.msg3157285#msg3157285As I said before about Bicknellski: misdirection. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=292118.msg3165417#msg3165417He's under the delusion that I have some need to hide my thoughts about BFL, yet both the above, that he has read, seem pretty clear to me, and I am sure clear to anyone else who reads them. Also: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150803.msg2977089#msg2977089The reason I mostly avoid that thread is coz I've made it clear about BFL in there but that thread is full of rubbish. It is easy enough to find negative things about BFL, but in there they seem to just say anything to try and get attention whether is is true or ludicrous. I'm sure most people would prefer to avoid that tread. I will also point out that Bicknellski is the same person who (failed) but tried to convince the Klondike teams to not support the cgminer developers (myself and/or ckolivas) He didn't want them to supply us with hardware to help develop the cgminer software. Interesting, him trying to do that  For what reason? Funniest thing about this is that I am still spending time with the biggest Klondike team working on cgminer and helping them get the Klondike hardware going in a basecamp project with 11 other people. If they send me a Klondike board (which they might) it really wont be making me a fortune for my effort so far and the future effort I will expend on supporting it - but that's OK by me - I am still working with them. Yes indeed Bicknellski is a lowlife and looking at how this thread has succeeded in passing their loss off to their customers and turning it into their own profit, I'm sure others could think of other words to describe him. Meanwhile These BitFury chips are still slower than BFL chips but also use less power than the BFL chips ... Cmon HashFast, KnC, can't someone hurry up and release a single chip that's faster than the BFL ASIC You've got some serious narcissism problems, dude, and are lobbing dangerous accusations of delusions from your glass house. |

Ignore list. Use it. Love it. |

The more important questions are "Who cares ?" and "Why does anyone continue to support Butterfly Labs ?"

So Kevin. How do you sleep at night, or look at yourself in the mirror with how you've fucked over your partners in BPMC ?
You are bad for Bitcoin, bro. For shame, and major bad karma.
I never fucked anyone over. Ive just left the group and moved on to other things. I've had no negative feedback from any coop members. you dont know what your talking about. Easy there Josh Jr. I'm not the "fool" you accuse me of being. |

Please contact delaria@yahoo.com for more details. I will pay a 5% bonus on top of what you normally mine. Seems legit... |

Presumably some other random $bullshitcoin
LOL, you guys don't know anything about bitcoin, do you? Haha that is one of the funniest things posted in a long time about me, thanks. *giggles* |

Kano, nobody really cares about your ROI bitching. Everyone is just so tired of hearing it from you. Really.
... one of the reasons I have him on ignore =/ I feel bad for Con having such a polarizing teammate  Even worse that it was Kano's attitude that drove me to use bfasjdhfgkahsdfghalkgMiner instead of CGminer over his constant crying over not getting free hardware in a timely manner. *additionally mentions something about bfasjdhfgkahsdfghalkgMiner having an uptime of over 8 days driving Erupter USB's on Windows vs CGMiner consistently crashing after 24-48 hours of use. Mumbles something about "gg libusb"* |

People would do well to actually read the OP and all the updates so far. SB isn't entertaining Avalon batch 2, he's evaluating other "next gen" chips.
Missed that in all the noise. Would be nice to think the K16 expenditures thus far could be re-purposed to work with something else. Fucking Yifu... |
|
|
|

Well, I'm sad, but submitted a refund for 288 chips in a Batch 5 order =( Sucks to have all the assembly costs in limbo. If Gen2 chips become available, and these K16's can be modified, I would like to make use of my assembly purchase for 18 units.
Good luck Steamboat !

" this is our second generation, so we have much greater clarity on the process and we feel our timeline to launch towards the end of the year is solid." LOL ! Towards end of the year, 2014, Amirite ? |

I'll find out. I believe he is a little USB memory stick too, so you could probably boot your rPi with him.
Are you using the same design the BPMC dudes are using ? Have a few of their first run USB sticks on order, and interested in ordering more if you're offering them for sale here Stateside ! Exciting stuff. |

Send me 1BTC and I estimate that tomorrow I will send you back 2BTC. Good deal?
BFL have been estimating shipping date since 1 year.
Still waiting for quote. Send me your bitcoin and I promise that the target is to send you back the double by tomorrow. I have Rival ignored, so won't be responding to him directly, but hopefully this should suffice. Again, it was never more than an estimate; not disputing that. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283853.0"We are are working to fulfill our current order backlog as soon as possible. Our current estimate is by September 30 we should have most of our order backlog fulfilled. Your orders should ship in advance of that date." What people take issue with, is it speaks to a pattern of consistently making mistakes when producing estimates. This has been going on since November 2012 (Earlier than that if you count their first FPGA projects' missteps) It's getting tired and pathetic at this point. |

Dont know if any of you have seen this, but this is from BFL forum.
Josh: There is no "September promise. " Where are you guys getting this from?
LOL. He will argue his end-of-September estimate was just that; an estimate and nothing more. I've seen this show before and it's just getting sad to keep watching at this point. Wish it would just go off the air or get cancelled already. |

You must be jealous.
Why don't you take your self-righteousness, and go blow off, ya wanker.
With respect, you identify yourself as a reporter, but have failed to do the most basic research into the subject of your possible story, and have expressed a disdain for doing "mundane" matters pertaining to the execution of your job, such as clicking a link on a website. Having said that, I believe a "Hidden Camera" approach might bear more fruit than a "Guns Blazing" approach. |

Fwiw, going to hold out to the end of the week for any meaningful news. If nothing happens by Friday, I'll probably ask for a refund on 288 chips and buy more Bitfury products Yifu can go eat a bag of dicks over his handling of this bullshit, and I just feel terrible for Streamboat |
