Thought I would add a fun one. What are the letters after the period? I can see "DEVCOIN." but the rest I can't figure out. Devcoin.Org Edit: if your asking about logos Chrome, Ruby On Rails, Gnome. Thanks! The question was in relation to the letters themselves (org). Just bothered me that I couldn't figure it out, lol. Anyone think of a good R?

Come on guys, lets get some more logos made. And I need someone to test out the QR on that logo too to make sure it works for everyone. We want to get this voting done we need to get 15.

Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Ann]Purchase ASIC chips and assembly now: Batch 3 ordered, 1,936 chips left.

What happens if our board is assembled and fails testing because one or more chips are bad? Does Avalon warranty the chips, so that they can be immediately replaced? Should I order a couple extra chips just in case?
What happens if 1/16 chips are bad on the board -- will it hash at 15/16 capacity, or not work at all?
My EE informed me that the fail rate of chips or board is pessimisticly 15% so yes it would be a good idea.

Hey steamboat,
i'm considering 'doubling down' on my order.
1st order was batch 2.
2nd order may be batch 3.
Just wanted to know an estimated time in weeks between completed boards from batch 2 and completed boards from batch 3.
I would likely go ahead with another 12 boards if it looks like being a shortish period of time.
Thanks
Adam
Someone mentioned 9-10 weeks from the day of order iirc? Maybe 1-2 weeks apart if that is correct.

Any real devs willing to take this on and try to resolve the issue? Or is this a speculators thread? I spent some time in April trying to improve the new user startup experience. I put the builds up the start of this month, and they have had a few hundred downloads, and I have not had any issues reported yet. https://www.box.com/s/1mqfk22gyqq97ytdmifiLooks good, any reason this isn't promoted to the main Devcoin.org site? Is the owner of the site unresponsive? THe devcoin.org is a work in progress please visit devtome.com and hit the collaboration devcoin.org page we are working on wording. If the box.com link is added to the devtome.com it will get added to devcoin.org also.

Thanks for the logo, you'll get 2/5 of a share in round 24. There are three 2/5 of a share awards remaining. To all artists, To enter a logo, please post your favourite image separately, so I can load it to the devcoin gallery, then I'll award the bounty. Also, I suggest that the logo vote be taken after we have fifteen logos, or July 1, whichever comes first, any objections? Unthinkingbit, I temporarily enabled them to upload their own logos to expedite things just fyi. And depending on if it gets abused I may leave it enabled.

.. I think you may have wiped out your file past your abilities to recover it if I read what you did accurately.
I agree with Twobits' excellent analysis. Unless a miracle happens, it's gone. What can be done, is get a new address from your new wallet, then a test transaction will be sent to it. After it works, I'll change the file addresses and ask Mark to generate a new receiver, and all the other file administrators to upload it. This will give you 8,235,000 devcoins for your round 23 work. In return, as soon as you get about 1.1 million of them, you'll pay all the file administrators their typical salary of 2/5 of a share, which is 143,713 each this round. You'll also pay the people who helped on this thread, 143,713 for Twobits who wrote an informative post, and half that to FinShaggy and Jasinlee who wrote small posts. You'd end up with around 7 million. If you agree to this, please message me a new address. I will kick in 100,000 DVC to your "I broke my wallet." fund also.

Market confidence? Thats not going to happen. (Too many things coming out that will bolster ltc price/confidence) As for the mining, I dont know why you think I said we were mining yet...we arent. Engineering samples does not mean running a full mining operation. Just because we have scrypt running on an fpga does not mean we are done with optimizations. Ask blockburner I am sure he is hitting the same thing on his end. We have probably 2 redesigns necessary before we order a mass production of our fpgas. As for the mining early, yeah I will be, who wouldnt want to be able to pay their employees, further development, pay rent, eat, etc. But all that will be accounted for along the way, we are just making sure we have a product to sell before we go taking peoples money is all. But dont worry I dont take offense, there is just a misunderstanding somewhere along the lines. My guess is we wont be up and mining until between Aug-Octo. based on the lead times we have been given for the devices we are going to build.

ASIC for Scrypt is a long ways off, and Scrypt is more resistant to ASICs anyway so we'll see.
If you can do scrypt with an FPGA efficient you can do the same with ASICs. It's only a question of the minimal volume you have to produce/sell. Unfortunately this is true. You should keep asic on the table even if its cost prohibitive you would want to plan for 2 years away. Definitely. In the progression of things FPGA is just the next logical step for Scrypt as GPUs get cost prohibitive with the growth of the whole network. ASIC Scrypt will come someday but will probably be a little while yet as FPGAs are just hitting the table, as they once did for SHA machines. Or maybe by then something better will come along, who knows And as id like to say to both your self and jasinlee I’m not against FPGA , not at all , its the potential to centralize that is the problem, if the multiple goes way out the window, the producers will mine with thier own device , this is a net monopoly effect also a centralization , then the market with have a concurrent effect , it will snap back at you , so i'm telling people to be careful, ASIC will be the downfall of Bitcoin , you , and they just haven't perhaps realized it yet , (i suspect some of the smarter guys have) what the market will do is find a novel way that an FPGA can't be reconfigured in an easy manner to adjust to , i don't decide this the market does, as i said open source C++ will evolve much quicker than FPGA and ASIC, so be aware of the risks, although i notice Jasinlee mining with his already, but that’s not a net negative you guys just should be aware. i will definitely order one based on the cost # power ratio - but just be aware that if and when the market feels that the equation needs a balance , kiss it goodbye. if they spread far and wide at a market price then that may delay this effect, but that whole profit motive tends to work against you there, irrational exuberance and the rest. As you may have read already, we do not plan on distributing massive amount of fpgas and we will in the end offer our design in open source. And per laseeks recommendation and our spitballing we decided it would be best to have a hard limit to how many we carry at any given time. I agree the danger of a 51% (even if we were only solo mining) is possible and should be avoided at all cost.
