Here are the Top #4 ASIC Companies according to the polls?
At number # 1 Kncminer - 13 (22.4%)
At number # 2 Bitmain/Antminer - 8 (13.8%)
At number # 3 Cointerra - 3 (5.2%)
At number # 4 Black Arrow - 6 (10.3%)
Just buy BTC and sit on them (why take the risk) - 28 (48.3%)
Thanks for the votes! I hope this helps any one out there thinking/praying about where to invest their hard earned cash/BTC BTC.

*Monarch UPDATE* From our favorite boy Inaba ~~ More LIEs!https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/4414-monarch-information.html#post74594The Monarch roll out rolls forward The silicon wafers are at the packaging planet as of the 13th of January. Our packaging plant is a multi-purpose plant and will be slicing the wafers into chips as well as packaging them. Traditionally, we've had to send chips to a slicing facility, then to the packaging facility, which incurs time delays. Our packaging facility eliminates that delay. They are also the same packaging facility we have been using for our second iteration 65nm chips and it has worked out very well, so we are familiar with them and they are familiar with us and know what requirements we have for our chips. This should make for fairly smooth sailing as far as packaging goes. We currently expect our first test silicon chips to take approximately 1 week, gi ve or take a few days, for processing and packaging. As with any cutting edge technology, unexpected problems can delay the process, but it's been fairly routine up to this point, so we are not anticipating any problems. After the packaging process is finished, the chips will be sent to our testing and binning facility in California to bring up the chip for the first time. Since this chip is based off of our 65nm design, the testing/bring up phase should be dramatically reduced from the 65nm chip bring up time, as all the IOs and behaviors are already known quantities. As with the packaging, unexpected problems can cause delays in this area, but we are hoping the bring up/testing process will take approximately one week, give or take a few days. Once the chip testing is complete and verified, the remaining chips are sent to our Chicago facility for mounting on Monarch boards. At this stage, we will receive the first live Monarch board in our shop in KC a day or two later and we will begin the process of finalizing the firmware and testing out all facets of the board. We have had several prototype boards in for various types of testing, most notably a prototype design with resistors in place of the chips to test electrical connections on the board itself between the various components as well as to test heat load for the cooling system. As the majority of the testing of the board has already been done, unless there's a specific chip/board interface problem (which is unlikely), the board firmware testing and full scale testing "should be fairly quick". At that point, we will begin assembling the delivery units and start shipping the Monarch shortly after that. Right now, we hope to start shipping the first Monarchs out the door at the very earliest at the very end of January or beginning of February, if there are any problems encountered, it may delay the roll out, but right now everything is going fine and we've encountered no unexpected issues. I will post another update as soon as I have additional information to share.

Except for that whole part where they told everyone they were going to ship late October, early November. Yeah, right on schedule. I nominate Inaba as shittiest COO in the history of that job title existing. +1   |

Except you conveniently left out the part where it says it's an "estimate."
un-fucking-believable. I said you were 2-3 months late. I dont care if that was a promise or an estimate. Are you 2-3 months late, or are you not? Anyway, good job proving newbies why trusting you or your company is insane. IN case anyone didnt know, Inaba is the COO of BFL and this is how he conducts business: Un-fucking-believable!  Wow what big words you are using ~ I don't think I understand  what was that again |

What NO extra hasrate WoW i feel bad for your customers. Conterra is giving there customers extra Hasrate but your only giving out more delays ("week this and a week for that and another week for it to come back") Your update is fool/full of weeks. you are weak Inaba, weak! oh.. i mean A week or two lol  |

un-fucking-believable. I said you were 2-3 months late. I dont care if that was a promise or an estimate. Are you 2-3 months late, or are you not? Anyway, good job proving newbies why trusting you or your company is insane. IN case anyone didnt know, Inaba is the COO of BFL and this is how he conducts business: Un-fucking-believable! You state we are 2 - 3 months late and then cite a page where it explicitly says, and I quote " this timeline is not a hard and fast timeline and is not meant to be the bible of how we will be rolling out this product." Here, let me quote another part of that SAME post you linked from: " This is our current projected timeline. It is subject to change." Do you read English and understand it? It would seem not. That is a direct quote from the page you yourself quoted and here you are trying to pass off your stupid bullshit as some sort of promise that we would deliver on a specific date. You are truly a piece of shit and you've ruined your own thread by posting blatantly false and biased information, even faced with incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, you still hold fast to your lies. Good job proving why newbies should not trust you in any fashion! You are completely worthless and unable to admit that you have made a mistake and are now a confirmed, demonstrated liar. How do you expect anyone to trust anything else you've written? Really? 8 days late? You received your order last summer? It was my understanding they shipped in October and promised shipping in summer... amazing that you were the only person to receive their unit sometime last summer while everyone else had to wait until October. You must have quite an "in" over there in KnC land.
Yes, KnC was a several days late, but delivered extra hashrate. How much extra hashrate are Monarchs going to have that are will be several months late? Yes please let us know how much extra hasrate customers are going to get |

Can you point out where there was a promise? No? Oops, you are a liar!
I mean, god forbid you post true information... that would actually paint BFL in a kinder light. No, it's better to post false information to keep the BFL hate going, no matter what the truth of the matter is.
Pathetic.
Why do you insist on posting so many falsehoods about BFL? BFL's 28nm is not "already 2 - 3 months late," it's less than a month "late" if you can even say that as we never guaranteed a timeframe. On top of that, "no sign of silicon" is just completely false.
GG for posting FUD!
Guy's lets stick to the subject "Newbie guide to ASIC vendors"I hope Puppet deletes some of are comments, this is a good thread for Newbie's. Don't let "Inaboba" stirrup you emotions with more lies :/ |

This is why I love Butterfly Labs  Inaba thanks for BLOCKING ME... you CANT handle a little customer feed back You delay customers shipments and then you dont bless them with some money or an extra rig. You should learn from Cointerra, at less they are trying to make it up to their customers.  [/ |

lol What! ," it's less than a month "late" but you "nerver guaranteed a timeframe" LOL come on dude!/ Guy's lets stick to the subject "Newbie guide to ASIC vendors"! Thanks |

YOU have to remember... "MINERS" we also have POWER and Control over ASIC companies! STOP Crying and STOP BUYING from these companies!!! |
|
|
|
And I rest my case LOL! Notice how it's the same people spouting the same tired crap over and over ad nauseum?
They have nothing to actually complain about... So to them repeating the same lies enough times makes them feel like they are important and that they matter.
YOU have to remember... "MINERS" we also have POWER and Control over ASIC companies! STOP Crying and STOP BUYING from these companies!!! |

lesson learnt, never buy a future miner. let CT be the next BFL. fuck it
NO more GBs for me... aw may be... I guess I haven't learn my lesson  Just another day at Butterfly Labs  "lead like sheep to the slaughter" |
