BFL_Updates

    We are happy to announce that Butterfly Labs is shipping Monarchs!

    You can follow shipping updates on Jody’s shipping blog.

    These Monarchs run at 700 GH/S with a power efficiency among the best in the industry at 0.70 W/GH (+/- 10%). We also offer boards running under 700 GH/S (in the 360-650 GH/S range) that can be used to maximize hashing power received (see details below).

    Those who have closely followed the Monarch development will notice that the 700 GH comes in above the 600 GH performance specification we originally mentioned, but below the 1TH/s level we are aiming to achieve based on the strength of the underlying ASIC chip. While we have achieved much higher speeds on test boards, our engineers are still working towards a board solution that will deliver higher speeds within the power consumption, and the temperature range required.

    Based on customer feedback, we are providing lower cost, goodwill options that revolve around the total amount paid with a price reduction to $1.97/GH (effectively $1,379 for 700 GH). The configuration of your order will change and we need you to select the option that works best for you. We will send an email with options listed to each customer as their order is ready to ship. We intend to move through the queue as quickly as possible, so your prompt selection of an option is appreciated.

    Here are the options, all of which replace the configuration of your previous order:

        Increase the hashing power in your order up to the total amount you have paid at $1.97/GH. We will ship your order with the best configuration of inventory possible.
        Select an offer of total hashing power in the best configuration of inventory possible and rebate the difference to you.
        Cancel your order and receive a rebate that can be taken in bitcoin or as a cash refund (wire or ACH)


    If applicable, once your order ships, or if your order is ready to ship and we have not received a response from you within 48 hours, we will deactivate Temporary Cloud Mining.

    Customers who purchased Cloud Mining (Mining by the GH) will receive individual offers for their cloud mining shortly before we deploy their hashing power. The options include receiving an extra 1 GH for every 1 GH originally ordered or requesting a refund.

    Customers who requested us to host their Monarch equipment will need to apply $2.50/GH in addition to $1.97/GH of their paid amount to host their hashing power in the cloud.

    Please watch your inbox for a customized email explaining your options.

    More details to common questions are available in the Monarch: Questions and Answers forum post.

    Thank you for being patient and for being a loyal Butterfly Labs customer. We truly value your business.

i had same problem at first OC give me no increse (maybe few Gh) ,but after few reboots it was all good

strange think was that best increse i got was after changing pool settings to http ,so it seems like  without stratum u get more Gh

yeah lucky

both was close to 448 Gh

declared shipment value  950 us

happy report after 1 day of mining 

1st miner freq 237.5  avg  490 gh temp 45

2nd miner freq 250    avg  496 gh  temp 45

about 800 W on the wall  EVGA Super Nova  1500
