hmmmm strange ^^ .

They are nowhere to be found!

Yeah I noticed that too, kinda odd phrasing but I think they're referring to Bitcoin Co. Ltd, the Thailand company that has suspended operations due to the ruling.

DEVELOPMENT vs MANUFACTURING

Might want to edit the title since there is no proof ITT

I meant funny in that other sense of the term.

First, I got my math wrong:
ASICMiner Block Eruptor Blades (10-13GH/s each ) & USB sticks + BFL = 85TH/s

The first reported (in English on these forums) batch 3 unit in hand was over a week and a half ago. We don't know how many batch 3 units were shipped to destinations in China which would have arrived much sooner (no 2-3 week boat ride, no customs, etc). Large mining operations in China could have picked up the units themselves from the factory for even earlier deployment, which would be in their best interest to do.


If we assume it is a gross figure, then they auctioned off at least 600 blades for between 45-50BTC.
USB is a bit trickier since they have two price points. Assuming that the batches were equal size, then we have around 24,000 USB miners shipped. If that income is all from the first sales point, then only about 18,000 were shipped.
So, (assuming gross figures) at least 7.8 TH/s from blade auctions and 6-10 TH/s from USB miners.

We can only estimate lower bounds of sales by ASICMiner and Avalon. If either ASICMiner or Avalon (or both) licensed their designs to mining concerns and sold them chips, then there could be significant clone installations out there by now. If the ASICMiner IP was in a different company, those licensing deals would not be reported. Avalon doesn't have any sort of financial reporting, and neither does BFL.

If I had to guess, I would say by now BFL has shipped about 800 singles (of the 60 GH/s variety) and at least 2000 Jalapeno's by now. That puts them around about 60 TH/s. Tack on the 8 mini-rigs known of, and we can say at least 65 TH/s total. That seems reasonable given the rest of the numbers.
So that is 3 days of singles and 7 days of Jalapeno's. If they are shipping 300 units a day, what did they do for the other 50 work days?

Maybe, just maybe one day all this will be over!

LOL!! Guess now we know why they are having issues with PSU supply line

BTW, when/where was this discovered?

"We even learnt that the PSU line is currently shut down due to not being able to procure those parts. Remember, a shipment of 10,000 PSUs were shipped to Sonny's Walnut Street address. Surely, BFL didn't go through all those already, did they?"

*If there is a source for the above statement please provide a reference, else assume invalid

"BFL is Assembling 400 (not 300) Units a Day!"

More like they are assembling 400 lies a day.

Master lie assembler Josh (and all the other of his forum sock puppets) are hard at work on this forum.

Great, BFL ist shipping day one singles since how many weeks now?! Thank you Josh, I paid 200 BTC for my single - do you really think this machine will ever break even? How many months should I expect until my order from the first week is shipped?

It even fits with the whole Star Child thing.

Phinn, there are no addresses starting with 1S... to 1Z... No current Bitcoin address beginning with 1 can be past 1QLbz7JHiBTspS962RLKV8GndWFwiEaqKL, alphabetically.

He actually meant "nary" which in old english is defined as "not one." The "bi" prefix is naturally a sexual orientation conjugation he chose to append.

I wonder how many people nominate Trendon Shavers.
