Plus there's coinlab and charity hashing stuff as well...

I wonder if we can use donated gpu/cpu time on BOINC charity projects, for tax reduction purposes?

Would be fun.

Also, I have a couple technical questions.
1. Will each die have an onboard temperature diode, and if not how will on-die temperature be read?
2. Will the mining software have control of the frequency similarly to the MMQ?
3. Will the POL convertor on the board be adjustable, or will it have a fixed voltage output?
4. Is the board far enough along that you can release details on the mounting holes and clearances for the heatsinks so those of us interested in watercooling can start shopping?
Why would one want watercooling on a device with this low thermal load, what are the benefits appart from longer item "life" ?
...I must be missing something here.

bASIC product details do not mention power supply, only DC barrel connector in the specs.
So do i need to acquire separately a power supply and connector?

Or is there even the barrel connector supplied  so i can easily hook it up to any power supply providing sufficient 12VDC?

It would be really nice if bASIC is just as finished product as BFLs are, ie. everything supplied in a case + fans, just plug it in.

I would like too to know if the  barrel connector is supplied with the device or should I buy it, in that case any suggestion?

Best

I'd like to get an answer for this too :/

Maybe someone with a little time should help with a FAQ so that Tom could amend them into the first post.

Tom has hired me to stay at the new testing/packing location.  If anyone feels like trying to rob the place, I suggest you bring several people.  I carry a M1911, and will probably bring my AR-15 as well.


Less you forget that US citizens are always packing heat. Cheesy

It's not unknown that Nvidia cards don't even pay for their own electricity. I dont know why this would change just because you're mining with 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs.

What's the difference between mining with 1 and 18 thousand Nvidia GPUs?
In the latter case, you are losing money 18 thousand times faster.

Someone should tell davidspitzer that he does not really want that to be his mining rig =:)

Hay he may be Mining Boinc points Smiley

Quick request that the SATA-> Molex adapters become available on BTCFPGA.com, or that you transfer the accounts over to bitcoinasic.net so that I can just straight buy them from there.

Cheers Tom!

He put a Molex onboard as well as the barrel connector, it was cheaper than adapters. So no problems there.

Re: UL/CSA certifications, those have to be held by the device that plugs into the wall (mains for the Brits) but the devices that use the DC power provided by your Seasonic or wall-wart does not require UL Listing or CSA certification in any case that I am aware of. Otherwise every video card, etc would have to have UL listing.

This is a major reason why the wall-wart has gotten so popular over the last 25 years, international flexibility actually being number 2 in cost savings for at least one of my customers.

That's because, as I understand it, bASIC only has 1 employee. Where as BFL has 6 customer representatives, 1 office manager, 1 engineer, plus Josh and an unknown number of assemblers. BFL might have even more employees that I am unaware of.

and I still have better customer service and faster response time than they do.

I can see how it is much easier to provide customer service when you have a lower volume of inquires. BFL has stated that they answer more than 500 emails a day.

Tom you say that you have the fastest customer service. I see in this thread that it takes some 4 days to get a response from you and that you sometimes don't respond at all unless an additional email is sent. Where is your empirical evidence that your stated facts are not fictional? It sounds like to me your saying your Led Zeppelin album is better than BFL's Aerosmith album. Just because you say it's so doesn't make it so.

Tom, could you help me understand something? Why is it that you are providing pictures of your office but not of your ASIC products while BFL is providing pictures of their ASIC products but not their office? Is it a case of priorities?

Tom, lets talk about your FPGA product. Almost every electronic product sold in the US must be tested for spurious radio frequency emissions before marketed, sold, or delivered in the US market. The pictures I've seen of your FPGA product don't include a chassis that would stop spurious emissions. Tom I believe that your FPGA offering doesn't conform to the Code of Federal Regulations, title 47, part 15, subpart B. Penalties may include $16,000 for each violation and seizure of violating electronic devices. These penalties may also be assessed against each US recipient using violating products.

Tom, you may want to stop deliveries to the US market to avoid financial penalties to your self and your US recipients using your FPGA products. I would humbly suggest you contact an attorney and find an RF testing lab to insure your products are in compliance with federal regulations. Tom you just know that when people read this posting that some of them will make a report with the FCC. You'll be wondering for the next few months whether the FCC will be paying you a visit and conduct a seizure.

This posting are my beliefs and is not meant to be legal advice.

I wonder how creating a chassis and RF testing for BitcionASIC / BTCFPGA products is going to affect their delivery to
their customers?

I believe that BitcionASIC / BTCFPGA will be the first Bitcoin hardware manufacture to go bankrupt. If BitcionASIC / BTCFPGA goes bankrupt there goes the warranty.

LOL these devices do not emit any radio frequencies EDIT: in an eclossed CSA certified Case.... LOL

In Canada CSA Certified is needed on electronic devices Edit: Or operated under CSA Standards because if the devices are the cause of a fire then your insurance may not be honored.

I wonder if my GPU x 5 Cards are operating within the CSA certified standard? Hmmm I wonder if they conform to FCC / CSA rules?
I fully intend to put these into a CSA/FCC certified concealed box thanks.

If you choose to operate these devices I would consider taking some basic precautions.

I would guess they are going to ship right around the last day or so of november so they can say they met the november date guideline.

Perhaps ASIC companies are now ready to place their orders with manufacturers and are thus selling BTC to raise the necessary funds.
That is possible to, BFL said they just payed a "bullet run", maybe they need extra money very fast.

I've read few times, that BFL did not kept BTC, all order/preorder where instantly converted to USD, as BFL is not interested in hoarding BTC, but USD !

Rather their partners/suppliers take payment in USD..... for now..... Cheesy

On Monday/Tuesday

Whoever is manipulating the price is gonna regret it

They wont regret it if its recent liquidators of their LTC holdings into BTC and then into USD on mtgox.
2760  Economy / Speculation / Re: Strange activity on btc-e on: October 27, 2012, 01:37:45 AM
Well they purchased the LTC with BTC

and the seller of the LTC cashed in the BTC on MTGOX.

Simple no?

Well apart from the potential for ...... Your guess goes here.....
