So I'm sure people have emailed Sonny and asked where their single(s) is/are.
Anyone gonna post the reply he gave this time?
No. Go ahead and email them yourself if you're curious. I would think you'd want them focusing all their attention on presenting you with your three-month-overdue product, rather than answering redundant emails...but like I always say, "do whatever you want". So have you ordered any of these Randy, or are you just here to stir up trouble? I have one on order and I've thread through most of this horrible thread (may as well not have bothered as it's just trolling mostly), and it seems to me that you're more bothered about the delays than people who actually have orders in. Might be time to find a hobby. I hear knitting is quite therapeutic. You obviously have not read any of the old thread (or this one for that matter). Even though there are 130+ pages to read though, (old and new thread together), they really need to all be read in order to know what you are talking about. I've read it all. I know the current state of things, as I also keep in contact with BFL. What goes on this thread is 1 part actual information, 2 parts technical discussion of FPGA technology, and 7 parts trolling from Randy, DeathandTaxes, Goat, Kano and couple of others. If we only kept the pertinent information (the testing from Inaba, the pictures etc from simonk83, the technical discussion and the odd post here and there from BFL and people who have spoken to them), this thread would be about 4 pages long instead of 59. It's a mess, and I'm looking forward to it being closed when people receive their boxes. |

update to fix winxp bug PLZ
But I could also add the other obvious reply  There is no fix for windows xp - windows xp is just one very large bug and all the MS fixes since then don't seem to have resolved that ... vista, 7, 8 ...  Yeah. IMHO kano is totally right. Well, there's a first time for everything, but this isn't one of them. WinXP is very stable, and has been for a long time. Yes, Vista sucked, but Windows 7 is just as stable as XP and perfectly usable as an everyday OS. Honestly you just embarrass yourself by posting generic clichés like that. |

I've been lurking and learning about bitcoin/mining for awhile now. One of the more recent advancements that I've been keeping an eye on is FPGA mining. I was hoping someone could try to straighten out some of my mental difficulties with the development process of the FPGA miners.
What part of designing those kind of mines is the the current "bottleneck" (EG hardware or software)? More so is it that the hardware is available but getting "efficient" code onto the boards that's causing the problem? Or are the FPGA board makers spending more time working on the hardware and that the software is pretty well "set" for each release?
How much effect does the software that the FPGA developers have on the hash rate? I ask because I saw a post by one of the people making the FPGA miners saying they were doing about 100 mh/s at the moment but the "corner cases" still needed to be worked out. They reference being able to hopefully get more mh/s out of it once resolved. How/what are they doing to get that extra mh/s?
I've seen something about an open source FPGA software. With that being said could a person theoretically buy a FPGA board, load that software on it, and be good to go? (I'm under the impression that the answer is no). If that is a yes, what does someone who is "selling a finished FPGA board" doing for the user that they couldn't do on their own?
Thanks for any explanations that you can provide.
Most of the cost and limitation is in the hardware (they're very expensive at the moment relative to GPU's, unless you're buying top of the line GPU's I guess). As with most things, software can be tweaked to glean a little more hashrate out of these things, but we're not talking double or anything like that. It'll be small percentage increases. |

medium length lurker finally joining so i can make a post about FPGA.
Basically exactly the same as me |

What up to you too. Quite interested in some FPGA myself...

Good idea, I'll give it a crack

Gentlemen, how are we all today? |

Hopefully this won't be quite as necessary when the new multi sig stuff comes in. Should be a bit harder to steal (or spend) wallets after that if I'm understanding stuff correctly.
