It's not the ChickenCoin - it's the ChangeCoin 

Hey Bro! Can You Spare Some ChangeCoin?

Because BFL screwed up power consumption (ASICS need about 5x more power than planned/guessed/hoped) they need bigger casings. Bigger casings means higher shipping costs.

So you get your units later (original shipping was scheduled for October 2012), with less performance, and a higher shipping price.

Thank you, BFL. Not.

Mother of god! How is this little thing supposed to dissipate 300 Watt of heat?




You all know how big 7970 heatsinks are - and they are designed to handle "only" 250 Watt.

You're talking about BFL_Josh now? Your alter ego / split personality?


... with yourself?

No, shipping has not begun.

BFL just sent you a nice letter with lots of yadda yadda. The interesting part is this here:

"Please be advised that [1]due to the adjustments described above, we need your confirmation prior to release of your order into the final build queue and on to final delivery.  It may also be a good time to [2]review your purchase altogether relative to the bitcoin market as this is the last opportunity to do so.  If your order is not confirmed, it will be canceled and your money will be refunded. "

They did this because of legal reasons - to be on the save side:
[1] They screwed up power and performance, so they want to get your OK.
[2] They screwed up shipment dates - and know that it will take a long, long time before your units will be shipped - and difficulty will have sky rocketed and you only make a fraction of the Bitcoins that you would have made had BFL shipped on time. They want to get your OK for that too.

Basically it's like a blank check for BFL: "OK we screwed up big time but you have to sign here XXX and confirm that this is still OK with you".

Not that some of you guys come up with the idea of suing them ... 


Wake up, people!
They're doing this not because they are such a customer-friendly company - they are doing this for a reason.

Yeah like the French flocked to FRC(Freicoin) and the Irish to the IxCoin  

No, your Jalapeno is not on it's way.

"Maybe end of this week. Or the week after. Prepare for great news to come" ( (c) Josh/BFL)

Let me fix that for you:


Questions for you: Were does BFL post official statements? Is it the bullshit on their always outdated homepage ("... we are in final stage development")? Buried in deep shit on their forums? On grnbrgs Twitter feed? ... where are those official statements you're talking about?

No, Josh always uses his Inaba account - even when talking about BFL in his role as company representative.

Go check his stats:

That was 3 month ago ...

ChineseOrphanCoin - Who needs innovation when you can plagiarize?

Maybe this coin should have been called COCK: Chinese Orphan Coin Keep.

What's your core, mem and voltage?

Any Germans here willing to explain? 

I apologize if CHNcoin was created because of my stupid posting 


Next time someone creates a Black-Hole coin (sucking in all the hashing power to create worthless coins), can he please set the block target to something like 1 microsecond. I propose the name BHC (Black Hole Coin) for it.

To avoid pre-mining, we all can start mining it once it's detected at the LHC.

Yes, it's true. A sack of rice fell over in China and crushed the wafer.

You are butthurt, OK, but please stop the public whining!

Neither has BFL delivered the promised performance (1GH/s per Watt), nor have they delivered "many pre-orders already".

From the thousands and thousands of pre-orders, how many does BFL claim to have shipped? Maybe around 30.
How many of those did not go to devs, magazines and other members of the family&friends program? Maybe around 10.
How many of those 10 have actually been delivered to pre-order customers? Maybe 5.

Anyway. I would neither call 5, nor 10 nor 30 "many pre-orders" given the total number of orders in the thousands.

LOL! It seems even native speakers have difficulties with the syntax.

They are not. They are only shipping Jalapenos.

Singles, Little Single and Mini Rigs are still in (re)design phase (aka "now in final stage development" in BFLspeak).
