What are they going to do with all those Mini Rigs Boxes with Fans? Refurbish? Devices to cool down all the hot air from Loudmouth Josh Zerlan / BFL?

Can someone please stop this scammers! It still says "order now". Should be "pre order now". Or "pre order now - ships in Dezember 2013". Minirig "out of stock". LOL!!! So many buyers for an empty Box with Fans?

When mining with eu.notroll.in I can't see the shares in the web frontend.
Are they counted?
When do they become visible?
I'm aware of the problem, there seems to be a 30 min delay untill they show on the site ... I'm working on it. 4 hours later and they are still not counted. I guess shares from eu.notroll.in are lost

I also note the adds on this site
"Advertisement: BFL Single SC - 60 GH/s for $1299.00 - butterflylabs.com"
do nothing to help!!!!
I think it's time for BFL to update their advertising.

... if it works out like we are thinking it might, we'd be at ~34 GH/s at less than 150w ... LOL. That's a meager 0.2 GHash per Watt. Remember, Josh "Loudmouth" Zerlan, when you mocked Avalon because of their high power usage? Now it turns out your ASICS are not better.

Maybe it's time to switch to a different pool. (1) Problems with eu.notroll.in: shares not counted (2) High invalid count issue seems to be still there. I get lots of error messages in cgminer: "unknown work". (3) Auto payment does not work. Nicksasa, when do you think this will be fixed?

The could still use existing boards and chips to make Jallys.
They already said they probably have to add an external power supply plus heatsink and fan to the Jalapeno. That means they can throw away lots of existing Jalapeno casings and PCBs. And burnt lots of our pre order money for this "Lessons Learned".

I'm going to make a wild guess here and speculate that they ran all their pre-production SPICE simulations ...
The fact that only recently "discovered" the real power consumption of their ASICS shows that they never had a working prototype up until now. What were those fuckers supposed to ship in October 2012 (their original shipping date) ? They had nothing back then. Literally nothing! Stringing customers along for months ...

All of those specs would be pretty much in line with what avalon has shown is possible, ...
I remember when Josh "Loudmouth" Zerlan / BFL was mocking Avalon because of their power consumption. And used BFL ASICs superior power consumption as a selling point. That they are much more future-proof and profitable in the long run ra ra ra ... bullshit. Now as reality catches up with BFL (or vice versa), and their power consumption is almost the same as Avalons, it might be interesting what Josh has to say.

@Nicksasa: - Still having problems with eu.notroll.in (shares not counted / not visible on web page). The US server seems to be working, although I have a very high invalid count. Error message: "unknown work" in cgminer. - Are there problems with your Stratum Vardiff implementation? I always had a very low invalid count (<0.1%) - now it's more like 5%. I am using cgminer 2.11.2 - Also when not using Stratum I can see (on your web interface) diff is fluctuating for my workers. I thought vardiff is only active for Stratum? When connected to http://notroll.in:6332 cgminer says: "connected to ... with stratum ... as user" - Does the auto payment work again?

The pictured product is clearly an FPGA Single.
True. Plus there will never be a 60GH/s miner. According to Dave/BFL most probably people that ordered a Single SC (60GH/s) will get multiple Little Single SC (30GH/s ?) because of power consumption / heat problems. But BFLs Ad is still online. I'd call that malicious deception.

Have been test-mining for a few minutes on eu.notroll.in (Stratum) about 12 hours ago. Still I don't see my shares in on https://notroll.in/This pool has been great for a long time, but recently has some issues.
|
|
|
Oh no! It doesn't match the picture!
Big macs don't either. Do people get refunds from mcdonalds?
If you really wanna use that analogy for BFL: People who ordered a Big Mac 10 month ago now get two Chicken Nuggets instead.

You know that the heatsink in the picture is for their old FPGA Single. The newer SC Singles use a different, slightly larger heatsink.
So they advertise their old FPGA products as ASIC products? I'd call that malicious deception.

Dear Butterfly Labs, 10 month ago you started to take our pre order money. Since 10 month we are waiting for the ASICs that you still advertise all over the Internet: Will we ever see such a product? 60 GH/s on one single PCB, with this tiny heatsink that you have in your Ad. I would like to offer my help and give you a quarter so that you can go and purchase a clue.Here is my first clue. And it's for free: Clue #1 ( hint: this is what you do before you go into mass production and produce tons of PCBs, boxes with fans and heatsinks that you can throw away afterwards). Sincerely, Frizz

Overclocking is not a supported option. Custom enabling of chip cores or speed adjustments are not supported at this time.
I can still remember when Josh "Loudmouth" Zerlan bragged about the superb overclocking capabilities of their ASICS. BFL = FAILPower affects everything. Jalapeno may have to ship with external power. And possibly air cooling.
LOL. So they have to get new PCBs, new casings, new heatsinks, new fans for all of their products - but want to ship next week? How's that supposed to happen???

BFL_Josh (Shoutbox): BFL_Josh (Shoutbox) - Ok folks, Luke is the proud owner of the first BFL Little Single ASIC off the line as of about an hour and a half ago. Since he's a paying customer and also a miner developer, we've shipped him the first Little Single ... [23:42] <a_meteorite> Luke-Jr: that's the Little SC I'm assuming [23:42] <Luke-Jr> a_meteorite: it's a defective board because I was impatient. [23:43] <a_meteorite> that would explain the HW errors [23:44] <a_meteorite> did you go to BFL HQ or was it shipped? assuming you can reveal that.. [23:44] <a_meteorite> I think you did go there at one point but I didn't think you stayed/went back [23:44] <a_meteorite> that was like... 2 weeks ago [23:49] <jzk> At this point I'm not sure he can even reveal his own existence [23:54] <Luke-Jr> a_meteorite: I've physically touched it, but I've left it at BFL for the time being. You can't claim on one hand that an item was shipped, and the on the other hand claim you left it at BFL.~Bruno K~ Luke-Jr: has posted pictures of his BFL ASICs. Summarized: (1) Item was not shipped (2) Josh made the pictures April Fools' joke? Or just the usual lies from BFL/Josh ...?
