Butterfly Labs Announces 28nm ASIC Bitcoin Mining Processor
Butterfly Labs announces their 2nd generation ASIC Bitcoin Mining processor in partnership with Global Foundries and their 28nm advanced technology node. The PCIe based Monarch card is the fastest, most power-efficient Bitcoin mining card yet at 600 GH/s and only 350w of power consumption.

Each device will process 600 GH/s @ 350 w of power consumption. The product is being offered at $4,680 US Dollars which makes it the most cost effective miner in the industry. Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) August 21, 2013

Butterfly Labs (BF Labs Inc.), the Kansas based leader in Bitcoin mining technology has announced its 2nd generation ASIC Bitcoin processor - the 4th bitcoin processor in its history. The new chip has been in quiet development for the last six months.

As the first company to introduce a 2nd generation ASIC chip, Butterfly Labs has leveraged its proven design to set an all new high mark in performance for the Bitcoin mining industry.

"We've learned a great deal with our first ASIC. After an initial delay, that processor has been shipping in volume for the past few months and is now powering the majority of the Bitcoin network. For this 28nm version, we were able to use our test bench data to make major optimizations in both speed and efficiency that would otherwise not be possible with a first generation design.” remarked Butterfly Lab’s chief ASIC engineer John Cheng. “Our deep involvement with the engineering team from Global Foundries has further allowed us to maximize our design for their advanced 28 nanometer process."

The first product using the new technology was also announced today. The 'Monarch' is a PCIe card optimized for large scale mining in data centers. Each device will process 600 GH/s @ 350 w of power consumption. The product is being offered at $4,680 US Dollars. This would make it the most powerful & cost effective bitcoin mining card offered by any company in the industry. Initial deliveries of the Monarch are slated to begin in December 2013.

The company is allowing existing customers to transfer any still undelivered back orders to the new higher speed technology, but they note that it would increase the wait time by several months and don't recommend it.

According to Jeff Ownby, Butterfly Labs VP of Marketing, “If employed today, each device would mine approximately 6 bitcoins every 24 hours. At the time of this writing, that's over $600 per day. However, it's important to point out that mining difficulty & bitcoin prices change with great volatility. We can only guarantee the performance specifications of our hardware, not the market value of mining with it."

Butterfly Labs will immediately accept placement in the queue through pre-orders.

6  Economy / Economics / Fiat Conversion Price to Difficulty on: August 19, 2013, 11:13:27 PM
Is it typically expected that mining difficulty and fiat price are inversely correlated? How much weight does the difficulty have on fiat prices, in your opinions?
7  Other / Off-topic / Script for "Hitler Discovers Butterfly Labs Monarch", In case it goes away on: August 18, 2013, 05:26:00 PM
I spent a decent amount of time so I figured while I can, get the script here so it can be recreated or edited if needed.

Butterfly Labs has told us two more weeks.
We are waiting for rigs here, here and here, and the difficulty level has hit 50.8 million
There's an onslaught of hashing power being added and its only increasing.
Our hardware would be obsolete when we received it,  we're told nobody else is shipping product

Gather all the bitcoins and purchase as many 500GH rigs as we can

Mein Fuhrer...
Butterfly...

Butterfly Labs says we can give up our spot now, pay a slight fee,
and get a new Miner they just began developing

Anyone who has an ASIC from someone other than Butterfly Labs, Leave now.
HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO CURRENT CUSTOMERS
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING IN QUEUE FOR 10 MONTHS
AND NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE A FEE TO CHANGE OUR PREORDER
AND THEY ONLY TAKE BITCOINS?
FOR ALMOST A YEAR I HAVE WAITED
OUR BLOCK ERUPTERS ONLY MAKE .003 BTC PER DAY
WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING?! THAT I'M A FUCKING IDIOT?

They need more funds to keep production of our current orders running
TO GET CHIPS MADE ITS NOT HOW MUCH YOU HAVE BUT WHO YOU KNOW

Josh Zerlan knows alot of people who can....

FUCK JOSH ZERLAN AND THE COCK HE RODE IN ON
"NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU" HE SAYS
HOW COULD I TRUST A MAN WHO SAYS WE CANT GET REFUNDS TO ORDER BLADES FROM FRIECAT
BECAUSE THE MONEY IS ALREADY SPENT
AND THEN OFFER TO GIVE UP OUR PLACE IN LINE FOR A FUCKING FEE
SO I CAN WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR A PRODUCT THEY WILL PROMISE IN TWO WEEKS
WHERE ARE MY JALAPENOS?! DELAYS! IM FUCKING SICK OF ALL THE STALLING!
Butterfly Labs must think im an idiot. A real fucking idiot.
What has happened to all the profits BFL surely made from their FPGA and ASIC products?
I can't tell which scam is worse, BFL or MtGox...
Inaba's crazy antics couldn't get people to cancel. So they must use a bigger, badder carrot on a stick.
And Sonny's probation ends soon
How are we to even trust the one year warranty? Avalon, and now Knc
and HashFast are all using huge boxes for their chips
 in order to cram in enough cooling power
HashFast is using water cooling to remove heat from it's single 350W chip, and they have a full sized PC case for just one chip!
All you have to do is read Josh's comments to get an idea of how little they give a shit about shipping late.

We will call the FTC, maybe they will return our Bitcoins

What am I going to do now
I should have never trusted Inaba, such a douche bag
And Jody, she's like 80 years old
It has Ponzi Scheme written all over it
Tape out for their "old" ASICS was supposed to be September 2012, with October 2012 delivery.
It's August 2013 now and people that ordered a Single SC late June 2012 are still waiting.
Why would anyone trust BFL ever again?

Got this for my birthday and thought I'd see if anyone has a use for it. I can either send you the number and PIN to use online, or mail you the physical card. The former is preferred.

Anyone interested?

12  Bitcoin / Hardware / faster hasing usb sticks in the works? on: July 31, 2013, 02:13:03 AM
I'm wondering if there are any upcoming products with a faster hash rate than what seems to be the current ~334MH/s. Even around these forums  where the prices are good, it is unlikely that there would ever be a return on the hardware costs.
