Some controller cards seem to have 4 places to plug in modules and some have 6. What happened there? |

Whatever you say about foam + packing peanuts, KNC should be using double or triple walled boxes for $8000 machines - bare minimum and no excuses.
+10 Triple walled boxes (at least double) will make everything SO much better! |

Anyone setup a wireless bridge to a KNC Miner?
What works?

$18 a GH at current exchange rates.
Funny!
And its a minimum bid of BTC9!
Takes up a huge amount of space and electricity and as loud as a jet engine.
BTC5!

$11,000 seems like the right price

You said several?
Are you saying you want $1600 for them all (how many is that?)
of $1600 each??

The controller board has room for two more modules, have to figure out how to facilitate all 6!!!

Your estimates appear pretty close. Glad to see they are shipping lots of units though. It was definitely a huge backlog. At this rate they may actually catch up by the end of October, aside from the minirigs.
I would consider this good news for the bitcoin community in general, as people can soon focus their energies on productive endeavors as opposed to being mired in muck writing tirades over late preorders. Glad to see this chapter in asic developments coming to a close. It is tough to create an entire industry from scratch. BFL was not the first to run into problems, and they won't be the last. But I doubt any others will ever garner this much negative attention.
Here is one more prediction for you, See how they are banging out those singles at the rate of like 13-15 pay dates everyday? Now you figure "Hey I ordered in March or April I should have my order shipped next week!" WRONG! In 2, no more than 3 working days the shipping of singles will hit a wall and it will be June 23rd all over again. We will get to the first week of March by Monday/Tuesday time frame then it will take 2 months to get to the end of April. Stay tuned!! Prediction comes true, right on schedule. And what is pathetic, is I can figure this out why can't monkey boy Josh? |

Welcome back.
As predicted, BFL has hit the brick wall in shipping and Singles, little singles and Jalapenos have slowed to about 1/4 of what they were shipping at, they finally are trying to catch up with Mini-Rigs at the expense of everything else.
After all this time you would have thought that they would try and get everything in Sync.
Not going to happen.
We are 1 week into Josh's "2 Weeks or so" to clear backlog to April 30 and shipping volumes continue to reflect (as predicted) that "Two weeks or so" will be the usual 2+ months.

If it were not for Bitcoinorama, I would have surely gone nutz by now being in the dark as they say... I for one vote that O'rama gets a Jupiter for the service he has provided us in behalf of KNC He has weathered the storm thru thick & thin
LOL, what service has he provided? Distracting us from the fact that shipping in September went to October. You can't have everything  You got 550GH/s instead of 400GH/s I call that underpromise and overdeliver. If that was BFL they would have put 3 asic chips (410GH/s) in the Jupiter instead of 4 without any hesitation. TRUE THAT!! And then they would have had a $100 upgrade to add 10 GH |

So glad I got my thousands of $$$ back with chargeback
All Paypal refunds are final. In case anyone thinks Josh isn't reading this thread, I can confirm that he is. He really hates his image being used and keeps complaining to the moderators about it being used here. I think what he really hates is that he can't moderate this forum himself. There's just no delete button for all these pesky posts. Free speech sucks, hey Joshy? Parody is protected by freedom of speech, so stop using the original picture and go back to hats and clown noses and put the word "parody" in the corner and you are fine!! If Perez Hilton can do this: http://perezhilton.com/2008-06-10-quote-of-the-day-242#sthash.VFOikAmA.dpbsto celebs, you can do the same to Josh |

I im right the minimum Megahsh Power of a single Block Eruptor is 330-336 mh/s. This seller on Bitmit.com is selling a "Turbo 440 MH/s" USB Block Eruptor for BTC0.39. Can this be possible? I just want to make sure, i am interested by this and a bit skeptical? What do you think.  To actually answer your question yes it is 100% real. With a small change to one resistor and one crystal you can get 440 MH/s Search this website for Block erupter Overclocking |

From the BFL Forums:
There are some VERY poor design choices on that board:
While a switch to what appears to be a 5-phase regulator per chip is a very good design choice, the choice to use a non-synchronous regulator (you can spot one of these by the need to use a diode(s) in the power path) is very poor.
1/ Synchronous regulators are more efficient than non-synchronous regulators, particularly at low voltages.
2/ Non-synchronous regulators require a diode powerful enough to handle the full current of the output. (That's a BIG diode!)
3/ BFL engineers appear to think they can use lots of smaller diodes in parallel instead of one big diode - that's a big no-no! Google 'diodes in parallel' if you care to know why!
I can't remember the last time I saw a motherboard which had anything other than a multi-phase synchronous regulator for the CPU - and they don't have to deliver as much power as the Monarch does!
What are you talking about, that is a synchronous regulator. You can see the high and low side fets. Those aren't diodes, they're Panasonic polymer aluminum caps. Just quoting someone on BFLs website I am not an engineer but I play one on TV |

Correcting your listing: Re: Qty. 48 225 GH/s MH/s fpga's..... 11 TH/s GH/s potential.... $73,000.00 Retail Value... Description:Greetings, you are bidding on 48 new Xilinx xcv1000-bg560afp0241 fpga's. Each chip will hash 225 GH/s MH/s. Avalon asic chips will only do 200MH/s. Don't limit your scope with asic!!! Design your own miner and get out of the rat race for a BFL Batch Reservation... All chips are currently in hand and will be sent out immediately upon receiving payment. Here are some reference links to pricing and data sheets for the fpga: http://octopart.com/xcv1000-5bg560c-xilinx-463924http://datasheet.octopart.com/XCV1000-5BG560C-Xilinx-datasheet-112348.pdfStarting bid: 480 BTC Buy it now: 580 BTC End date and time:Oct. 3,2013 Payment methods accepted: BTC/ Paypal/ Western Union There now that's accurate. |

I have to admit, this is encouraging to me. I have an early preorder so I have to hope for the best.

Whats funny about this prototype is two things: 1. The absence of ASICs 2. The presence of FCC ETC and CE logos on a device that clearly has never had power run through it. |
