I'm only a reader of this forum, ...
That should read that you have signed up for this forum. If you had read it, you would know that the physics don't add up for at least one of BFL's products. Ok then i will add to my statement that he should be blamed only because he is a competitor on the bitcoin mining hardware market. In all his posts about BFL's ASIC he is really trying to make a point against them. That's what is wrong. If he would have said something like "i don't believe them period" then it's another story. @ElectricMucus 37 posts and i'm a troll. ok!

the speeds BFL posted for their ASIC units are just educated guesses, pure and simple.
Will they offer ASIC based Bitcoin mining hardware?
Probably
Will It Ship in 2012
No Way
The speeds they came up with are just something they pulled out of their asses via mathematical equations, they dont want you to buy products like the modminer quad, x6500, icarus and ztex
they want you to wait for another year for their asic instead of spending money on very profitable fpga's that you can get within weeks
they want to continue their strangle hold on this market (its starting to loosen) so they come up with these lies, give the community something to dream about, people believe their fallacies not because they deliver on all their promises but because they deliver just enough to keep everyone believing.
Don't worry they are not the only people working on ASIC based mining hardware (thank God)
You will know the real thing when you see it , because there will be a working prototype - not just an over inflated BFL design with some hypothetical speeds
stay tuned my friends
I can understand this sentiment from a common users' perspective, or even perhaps that of someone more learned, but regardless - it isn't anything you as a competitor should be saying in so many words. You have no proof positive or negative of how much work has or has not gone into the design and/or production of said devices, and claiming otherwise is detrimental to your own business as well. I'm only a reader of this forum, but i must reply here. Thank you rjk for this kind of replies! cablepair if you have no hardproof of what you are claiming then it's my right to say that you have pulled that reply out of your ass. (i'm not a BFL fanboi)

BTC-engineer or BFL please tell us if the announcement will be somewhere close from this date or close to the end of the month. We all know that waiting sucks a lot! Thank you.

As long as they deliver it at a good price i don't see any problem if they don't have it in hand. Edit: ...if BFL hasn't aquired all of them ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Why debate? Just send a message to 2-3 vendors asking them specific details and see what's true and what not!

If he doesn't see this message can he figure out that he is wasting hash power? How?

Scanned a few pages and didn't see anything about the Rev3. If you order today are you guaranteed a Rev3 single with the heat pipe? Thanks! PS - Sent a note to Sonny. Hoping this doesn't take 2+ weeks to answer like last time ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Waiting for an answer too!

ngzhang do you plan to improve the current design or it will stay like this until next gen chips are available?
|
|
|
What would someone need to mine on those boards?
|
|
|
How "could it cost" if it's already "costing" 600$? Your assumption gives me a mindf*ck.

bulanula why would they disclose the tech behind their product now? getting a head start in any business means more money for you. if they disclose the tech then maybe someone else would start creating an identical product. having their products shipped then disclosing the tech seems to me a BIG head start. so there is absolutely no logic in disclosing their tech now.
Inaba & the rest: why don't you use the "ignore" function for the trolls and the idiots? Life would be much easier then...

bitlane is right. trolls will always troll and haters will always hate. everyone should shut up until someone receives a working unit. the reality is that people can't think for themselves. like the product, then buy it. don't like it then don't buy it and then let them be. in every purchase there are some risks. i thought bitcoin users are a bit more thoughtful, but i was wrong. BFL keep doing whatever you are doing there, but don't forget there are a lot of people that are waiting for the product to be shipped. i bet trolls will troll even after the product ships about the whatever-random-thing on the unit board.(maybe i want the PCB to be yellow)

BFL with a warranty of only SIX months and without any other use of your device other than bitcoin you don't convince me to buy your product. Show me another application where i can use your product and i might put the warranty aside or provide some insurance about the warranty.
|
|
|
BFL add a warranty and some legal info of your company and i might consider buying one (ofc after some units get shipped)!
