Paying out by Dwolla doesn't seem to be working.  No transaction shows up and no amount is deducted from my confirmed BTC balance.

It's cold, I'll probably keep my 2x 5850s running for a little bit longer.

I'm going to sell my Single in a couple weeks, someone else can trade it in towards a Single SC  and I'll buy a little single or jalapeno

I was planning to pre-order (or just order...) once pictures of hardware had been posted.  That's what I did with the singles.

Definitely selling my singles now.  Not worth the risk, even with Paypal's shitty protection.

BFL has always been a little shady, not giving timely updates being the worst of it, but this is too much.

I just noticed mine was rattling today... perhaps the fan started making noise at a similar time for all of us   

Also I believe somewhere the BFL guy said that it was ok to work on the fans as long as your were careful (ie not voiding warranty).

Something interesting to consider.  I'll hold off purchasing another single until the trade-in in is clarified.

I *really* like your pool features, this down time is killing me though...  I would rather have a mandatory 1 or even 3% fee for better uptime...

2x 5850 and a BFL Single = 1.6Gh/s

The original plan was to have the two 5850s stacked on top of each other using 50mm motherboard spacers, like the icarus boards were done, but it turns out two of the PCIe slots (one is actually UIO or something) on the motherboard are meant to be used with a proprietary riser, which I don't have.  The BIOS/OS freaks out about IRQ assignment if I plug a card in either of them.  So... I had to put one GPU on the other side :/

The server is used for game hosting and general messing with, I figured why not bitcoin mine on it too    I took a CPU and its RAM out while trying to figure out the PCIe slot problems, but I'll probably put them back in a few days...

2x 1.8Ghz 6-core shanghai Opterons 16GB RAM

With that trade-in offer I suspect that this thing will be *very* expensive, although I hope they can do something along the lines of the singles vs. mini-rig for a product lineup.

Of course all the little guys like me can just sell their singles to the highest bidder (for them to trade in)  

Something like 800-1000Mh/s on the quads?

Looking forward to more firmware releases.

Maybe even some community ones   

Ah thanks, I just shot them an email.

Does "-S auto" not work on windows?

I double checked the box, there's nothing, even stuck under the little flaps of the box.   

What info is on that card?

I have a rev3 with the extra fan on the bottom (some don't have this?).

Using the diagnostic feature, the default firmware averages something like 844Mh/s while the 862Mh/s firmware averages 880Mh/s indicated, it is closer to the 832 and 862 advertised values in the non-ideal situation of actual mining.  Ambient temp is 74F (~23C) measured with an IR temp gun.  No throttling detected and a max temp of something like 53C for the single.  I will check power consumption in a bit when I move it to my mining rig.

cgminer 2.4.1 shows an average around 30Mh/s improvement, but I haven't let it run long enough to get a good average reading.

My order (3/8/12) was shipped on 5/7 and I received it on 5/8

It's a rev 3 with the smaller extra fan on the bottom.

The thing came with absolutely no documentation, not that I really need it, but perhaps BFL should at least include a piece of paper saying to go to bitcointalk.

I have a mining rig that has two hex-core Opterons w/ 12GB of ECC RAM and RAID

4x PCIe slots, unfortunately I can only really use two of them... but mining on it is sort of its secondary purpose.

It's interesting though, in removing a CPU (and its RAM) it shaves only about 35W off of the idle power.

I need to post pics sometime, I have it in a 1U case with the GPUs sitting next to it on 50mm risers.  It's quite ridiculous  

Will upgraded singles be offered with the same lower power consumption as this mini-rig?

Looks like this thing has 32 fans 

Why announce before you can even invest?  Or are even an entity that could be invested in?  Who is funding the initial research and dev?

If the first batch of ASICs comes back flawed, will there be enough capital to continue development?  What if it takes more tries than that?

Personal opinion:

Vague announcements like this only create uncertainty for everyone involved.  Is that how you really want to start a relationship with investors?  It either means that development has only just started (ie it will be a long time before any product) or it's a scam in some way.

With the sometimes questionable construction of mining rigs and running lots of GPUs with lots of power in tight spaces, I wonder if having a fire alarm directly over the setup would be a good idea.

What smoke/fire alarms would be good for electrical fires?  I have this nagging suspicion that the $5 ones at wal-mart aren't the best. 
 
Maybe even have it rigged so if there's smoke the power is automatically cut...
