My speculation: The product is obviously modular. There is a mainboard with some control electronics (microcontroller and the openwrt processor) The daughterboards (with asics) are vertically oriented for maximum airflow by the cards. I I I I I < daughterboards --------- < mainboard Also, I meant to post this when it was obvious Avalon came first. Way to go, Avalon.

Does this come with a port to pump liquid nitrogen inside the case to keep it from melting?
Huh? They've been quoting 400 watts. Who has trouble cooling a 4U case pulling 400 watts? What is the temperature of the room that this would need to be in? If you had 50 of them in a room would they be able to cool themselves with just the fans? You would need at least 10 Tons of cooling and exhaust for the heat. So 20KW for the units and 20KW for the AC and exhaust. Not too bad for 3TH+ Wow, thermodynamics.....is not your strong suit. bo2573 is a BFL whale (medical doctor, not dumb). No doubt what he's posting here is the insider information frantically provided to him to explain why he chose poorly.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Selling Logitech G25 + Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) for 30,000 FRC

I have a Logitech G25 and the PS3 game Gran Turismo 5 that I will sell for 30,000 Freicoin. This price includes shipping (to the continental US).
If you have a PS3, are mining Freicoin, and have ever thought about Sim Racing this would be an incredibly cheap way to get started.
The wheel should work just by plugging it into a PS3. It has a USB interface and works with PS3 and PC. It doesn't work with XBOX, for reasons I don't understand. I primarily used it for PC games (GTR2) and it works great.
Please post here or PM me with offers or questions.
Thanks, all!

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Next Freicoin Difficulty

It seems that the network has slowed down some more. There are about 60 blocks being found a day at the moment. Looking at Coinotron over the last 19 blocks they have found 1 in 4.47 blocks meaning that Coinotron is finding 22% of blocks. As Coinotron over the last 24 hours has had 9GH on FRC we can speculate that the total current hashpower for FRC is currently around 40GH hopefully putting the difficulty even lower for the next change.
That's very surprising to read Coinotron only gets 1/5 blocks. The p2pool is has a decent hashrate.

Lol, sorry then, but it would be funny, wouldnt it?
It would be funny. It's highly unlikely we would get in trouble, but it's the responsible thing to remind people to not get too excited about new experimental cryptocurrencies. correction: dyingIt's still worth more than PPCoin, speaking strictly from a utility standpoint

I know this is a joke, but I want to be clear. Nowhere on the Freicoin website is any projection of the future value of Freicoin. Freicoin is an experimental cryptocurrency with no value. The only way you can obtain Freicoin is by "mining" it, or by buying it directly from a miner. No automated exchanges exist and any value attributed to Freicoin is derived from personal speculation.
shhhhh We could get in trouble for this!

selling frc, 0.1644 btc/frc Explanation for my price is: On their site it mentions that in 10 years 1 frc may have $100 value So, it gains 10$ (hypothetically) every year. Its life till now is 2-3 months So we get to: (100$/10years)/12months = 0,83$ gained value for each passed month * 3 months current life = 2.49 $ per frc -5% today's value as per their explanation = 2.3655 $ per frc 2.36$ == 0.1644 BTC @ current rate I know this is a joke, but I want to be clear. Nowhere on the Freicoin website is any projection of the future value of Freicoin. Freicoin is an experimental cryptocurrency with no value.
