The chip beside the ARM one is a BGA. If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a small FPGA.
Oh I see. I thought you guys were talking about the "ASICs." Interesting guess, I'm curious what they would be doing with an FPGA on board. Seems a little pricey to just be used for controlling the ASICs. I'm guessing the Atmel chip is probably something like an atmega 2560 micro or something they're using for control or comms (especially since it's near the FTDI chip). |

perhaps they Are mining with them, And the reason your not seeing a mh spike is because they are capping thier own amount of units used over time, Intentionally, so that its harder to see if they use them or not

This is childish! I guess next we are all going to have MAC addresses to these mining units so we can verify these on the system?

No, we are waiting on our ASIC chips right now, as I've stated in a number of other places, though it's understandable if you have missed the posts, since they are spread out everywhere.
So basically for the bitcoin magazine post (here: http://bitcoinmagazine.net/butterfly-labs-releases-more-asic-photos/) you guys soldered some random QFN components to the board to you would have something to show....? Inaba, please explain. Indeed, just what are the chips shown here that are called ASICs if you have no ASICs yet? |

There is no proto-type or ever has been, per the letter from the attorney general and Inaba. No, we are waiting on our ASIC chips right now, as I've stated in a number of other places, though it's understandable if you have missed the posts, since they are spread out everywhere.

Stop, how dare you question BFL the koolaid drinkers will get you! JK Joking asking BFL questions is like asking a brick wall the only way to get shit out of them is to use your rights anyone who wants questions I highly suggest you ask http://ago.mo.gov/Consumer-Protection.htm they will be sure you get your answers or try your own attorney generals office. |

? I did ask this on bfl forum too with no answer, I was questioning, what if they had a run trough fab but what they got was underperforming or not performing at all and now they were forced to do a second run with extra costs to get them faster? |

Testing the ASIC miners ... what happened to the idea of creating a new coin... BFLCoin ... which can be redeemable in the BFL store for mugs, T-shirts etc.. the ASICs could then come preloaded with some coins that people would start trading in etc... and it not damage any other networks??

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

This has already been explained away as an operation to heat Jody's chicken coop during the winter.  Seriously, this is a moot issue. |
