cedividad, you should probably first get a basic grounding in cryptography before demanding illusory changes.
Also, are you Atlas?

No to both haha. Good try though  Actually yes to both. Unless of course we're suddenly using regular linear time in this thread instead of BFL time and nobody told me. |

That was too easy. Name one redhead. Mongol like redheads.

Nope, since none of us work there. There's a manufacturing company an hour away from me, NSA Industries LLC, that's one of my clients. Can you name two of the engineers that work there? Adam LaClair Brian Dennis See? That wasn't so hard. |

Jokes on them. I don't answer my phone.  |

Math is scalable.
HDD space and bandwidth isn't necessarily.
Isn't the Great Chain bloated enough as is already?

Quite a few months ago, I started down the path of creating a custom ASIC with another member of this forum. We spoke with a number of companies that do structured ASIC designs but ultimately decided to go with a full custom ASIC design since it seemed like it would required to be competitive with the numbers being promised by the competition. Ultimately, we entered into discussions with a company in Shanghai that does ASIC design with the intent of having them do the entire ASIC design for us. Like BFL, we already had a working HDL design that we had verified on FPGA hardware. Ultimately we chose not to move forward with the venture for business reasons, but it looks like BFL is on a similar path to what we were on.
Based on what I've been reading, it seems that BFL does not have in-house ASIC engineering experience (neither did we), but rather they have opted to farm out their design to a company experienced in these matters (a very positive thing IMO). Silicon Valley probably has the highest concentration of ASIC design houses in the US, so it is encouraging to read that Josh is going there next week to meet with their ASIC design team. Using an experienced ASIC design team in combination with a straightforward logic-only design like SHA256 and a conservative 65nm process is a good formula for minimizing risk and the number of respins.
I'm out of the mining business at the moment, but if I wanted to get back in now, I'd probably choose BFL based on the information currently available.
I have no affiliation with BFL or any of it's employees.

Agreed. What a great and positive response sir. Your grasp of the English language is both elegant and substantial! |

Have you videotaped your discussion with a lawyer yet?
I've done many things. Take a pack of popcorn and take a seat. Be patient! The tension is worse than waiting for a BFL "produced" ASIC. |

- The same issue with Y2K problem.
The conclusion ? Everybody always thinks that their system will be replaced by something new & better in the future, but it often does not happen, hence the problems we have today.
Know why Y2K happened and went without anything happening? Because the systems were replaced by something new & better before then. Deal with issues when the need arises. There's way more important stuff to deal with first. |

->"Im moving to LTC.... seems like there is a lot more legit people in that space"
when Bitcoin was 0.04, only idealists bothered. When Litecoin is worth it, it will also get it,s Pirate, Zoutong etc.
Learn me about >Zoutong What was this scam about? 16 year old Hong Kong kid writes Bitcoin Exchange, gets bought up for a quadrillion dollars, then a mysterious chinese mafia relic-hunter multi-billionaire über-hacker proceeds to clean out the exchange. Twice. You may think I'm yanking your power cables. Unfortunately I'm not. |

Ah, okay, that seems sensible.  |

Well, if I were to put money on which group would ship an ASIC unit first, I'd pick the only one that's ever shipped mining hardware before.
Which one is this mythical only one? BTCFPGA? Icarus FPGA? Cairnsmore FPGA? Quadminer FPGA? Damn' didn't know they all announced ASICs, must've missed that day. BTCFPGA/Quadminer -> bASIC Icarus -> Avalon |

Why do you sound exactly like the OP  |

The taxi hub has an email adress of fnaz100@gmail.com ? I doubt that. More likely another driver trying to defraud his company by pocketing fares. he put the same phone number as on the site... we will see how they respond to my e-mail. Did you write to the fnaz adress or the real mail adress on their site? EDIT: BTW, it seems those listings are open for anyone to edit as they please. Not just creating, but editing existing ones. |
