Wow just a shot of the naked chip packaged, they haven't tested the chips using a test board and hadn't published that it was at least working? Something seems wrong...
No, nothing is wrong. They have always been on schedule to deliver at the end of the year as witnessed by their 12/31 refund date. Any previous lies about shipping before that were simply to snag more customers. It worked perfectly. |

Yes we did, but I am amazed at Phoenix, who somehow is misled into thinking that KNC never advertised November shipping. That was always part of the product title  Shipping promises are only promises as long as the date hasn't passed. Then the shipping promise changes retroactively into simply a dream. |

You seem to be having trouble understanding the difference between the most optimistic, earliest physically possible ship date and the guaranteed delivery date. Hint: the earliest possible ship date isn't a deadline of any kind. Hope that helps.  The chip design is almost complete. We're starting sales now because we're at the point where we the calendar of remaining items is fairly fixed, and we're confident we can deliver.
Note the date on that quote. That sure doesn't sound like an earliest possible ship date. That quote says just the opposite. "Nearly complete", "remaining items fairly fixed", "we're confident". Wrong, wrong, wrong. Fact is, they are late. Months late. |

LOL. My CPU hashes faster than that brick. |

So.. to much to read. These are looking to be delivered in March/april at this point correct?
They're trying to start shipping late Feb, so I would expect a March delivery, but only if they can tape-out soon. |

And.... Did i understand correctly?
They claim to have 3-4 weeks hold before sending out the wires but noone comes here and claims that they have been paid successfully in usd?
I have quite big amount of usd in their account and i rely my business on it.
I make my plans according to the possibility that i may have the funds until March 2014 if i request them today or in the very first days of the following month.
Is it a false hope?
The current delay in getting USD out is a 5% fee and roughly 4 weeks. This is a special manual transfer. You must contact support at Gox for them to handle it. As more and more people request this, the delay is likely increasing. |

Maybe the future belongs to Litecoin, and Bitcoin will simply be remembered as a beta test.
Not a chance. Bitcoin has its faults, but Litecoin doesn't improve on them in any significant way. 1. Energy costs. If anything, Litecoin's scrypt uses far more energy. 2. Scalable. Litecoin has faster blocks, thus greater overhead and less scalable. 3. Security. Scrypt is less widely used and analysed, thus SHA is likely more secure. 4. Anonymous. Litecoin's blockchain is just as susceptable to tracking. 5. Microtransactions. Litecoins tx are just as heavy. 6. Fast confirms. There's a need for 2 second confirmations, not 2.5 min. Litecoin isn't fast enough to be different. etc. Someday another cryptocurrency will play a key in complementing Bitcoin's faults, but it's not going to be Litecoin. |

wow, they are some seriously power hungry machines.
Yes they are. have you worked out your power bill for a month.
depending what part of the world you're in it's not going to look good as difficulty rises especially in the next 3-4 months these things will probably be as profitable as GPU mining is now.
eg. in AU or EU some are paying $0.30 per kilowatt and here in AU prices of electricity keep getting higher every year.
Daily income @ 180 GH/s = $145 Daily power @ .30/kwh = $3 Power consumption = 2%. Even if difficulty doubles every month for the next 6 months, these are still profitable. Lesson of the day: People in high power cost areas should not be miners. |

Have finished shipping process and PM tracking nombers to all winners in this round.
Auction started, then completed and product shipped within hours. Well done Bitmain! There's a lot of other vendors that could learn from you. |

There is a difference between "picture" and 'photograph.'
All three pictures are pictures; the first two are the kind of picture we call a 'photograph.'
Don't be stupid. Nobody cares about seeing a rendered image that might be turned into a PCB someday. Everyone is asking for a "photograph" of an actual PCB that exists in the real world, since they have to exist for HashFast to meet any of their promised delivery dates. It's looking more and more like they lied about delivery dates. |

3. No company has taped out with 20nm yet. If something goes wrong with TSMC's technology they will fix it but the chip will incur additional delay.
Exactly. 20nm process is still experimental. Do not delay a real 28nm product for it, at all. |

even if BFL had a lot of problems they have delivered 2 generations of products, that has to count for something right?
Yes, BFL will deliver, as usual, extremely late. That's what you can count on. |
|
|
|
Cuz I don't like dealing with unknown companies who haven't delivered anything yet?
Me too, which is why I compared BFL to BA, because BA has delivered, and quite successfully on time, unlike BFL. |

Yep, I just ordered another Monarch 600 with the 25% discount.
Let the flaming begin.
Let's take a look Monarch: $3510 for 600 GH/s due in Feb. BA: $4799 for 2000 GH/s due in Feb. Why would you waste your money like that? |

Lol, I guess will never understand it since Im a poor guy. Right now, my monitor is sitting on a make-up stool and I'm on a $10 camping chair  You can judge by that, hehe. Anyone can be 1337. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet |

I just received my 5%-fee wire that was requested 4 weeks ago.
USD? Was it more than $10k? Yes and yes. |

This is a picture.  And this is a picture.  This is not a picture.  See the difference? |
|

Yes, please send all your money to BFL. That way the difficulty won't go up, and I'll mine more bitcoins for myself. I LOVE BFL!

In addition, unlike the other early ASIC sellers, when they saw the volume of requests, they didn't raise their prices to gouge their customers.
Sure they did. The Jala went from $149 to $249, etc. |
