It's good to know that a lot of people are interested with parallela.  It has huge potential especially as the cost comes down for CPU intensive tasks without the need for a full system |

It not that impressive, over 5k are his own coins he transferred from J-D alone. Maybe he did manage to scam some but the idiots deserve to lose their coins for being stupid.

Anyone try out the new beeeeer.org pool? Any opinions versus ypool?
Switched my miners just now. It seems to work, let's see what happens when the next block is found  I have ignored ypool because their miner was only available for windows and/or without the latest optimizations, making solo mining still more interesting. I am still on ypool using rd's variant 3.2 beta. Let me know how the new pool works please! |

I bought a few more shares at <2.
The divs alone are worth it at this low price.
Only if the dividends are maintained. I think with bitfury shipping and more of the competitors with October/November shipping dates, ASICMiner does not seem to be giving out news indicating it will be able to keep up with this next generation. It was easy when their competition was BFL and Avalon (2 poorly run companies), but now serious competition has come and minig about to be commoditized. You can quote me on this - Asicminer is at 2.2 right now. It will see 1.2 BTC before 3.2 BTC. I'll quote it. Gentlemans wager of 1 BTC? You pick the exchange. I am more like 0.5 BTC sure;) BTCT the exchange on the ASICMINER-PT shares. I win if any trades for 1.2 BTC before 3.2 BTCYou win if vice-versa deall? Sounds good! No short selling on your part. I'll keep to my word. If you worried, we can escrow the bets. |

The Coremark benchmark is not a floating point benchmark, it's main focus is read/write operations, integer operations, and control operations. Generally speaking the Epiphany coprocessor was designed to do floating point math very quickly. This test is probably not really a 100% good representation of it's ability of doing integer ops, due to it being biased by other external factors (read/write etc).
The Epiphany 3 with 16 cores has a core mark of: 19478 and costs $99
The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2687W has a core mark of: 400116 and costs $1890 plus say another $400 for a computer build: ~$2290
20 Epiphany 3s would be about the same speed as that Xeon. and if you built that using their cluster kits, it would cost. ~2875.
Granted you could probably build two or three computers with more total computing power and cheaper than using that insane Xeon, and probably get your costs down even further.
Furthermore, unless you are a coder, you are going to have a bad time. You won't be able to just drop the primecoin miner into a paralella and hit go. There will need to be some code rewriting and optimizations done to the code, at very least you will have to significantly edit the make file to make it compile for the coprocessor.
The Epiphany 4 with 64 cores that is not yet available on the other hand has a core mark of: 78748.80 but the price is unknown, as well as the availability.
So right now, i would say No, i don't think the Parallela is a good bet.

Excellent post! I guess I will stick to the VPS route until the Epiphany 4s come out and see what the price/performance trade-off is there. Hopefully if it makes sense price/performance, and the gpu miner is not refined to be much more efficient than it currently is, an experienced coder with re-work primecoin miner for the parallela.

Wow, the amount of coins lost to scams is unbelievable

I think what we are seeing is closer the 'real' value of AM stock. It's no secret it has been overvalued for some time now.
Very much so. I think it's still overpriced at 2. I think you are a bear. But to be honest most long term shareholders dont care since they are there since IPO at 0.1 Trust me they care. Even if you bought in at 0.1, noone likes to have seen this go up to 5.2 and now be sitting here at about 2 BTC. A 60% haircut from the top. |
