Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to post the link. It's odd that Josh says they will use test-net-in-a-box to test the units, then says that test-net-in-a-box is unsuitable, and he will develop a proprietary solution. Either way though, it doesn't sound like they are planning to mine on the main net anymore, judging by the wording of that post. |

By that, I mean I'll have to write a mini-pool to use the testnet in a box bitcoind basically.
Fortunately, I have a little bit of experience in that area from somewhere...

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

I thought it might. Thanks for the clarification.  |

Or you can just pretend to accept all shares from miners at your current pool but actually ignore them then match their GH/s exactly with ASICs and target your own pool with those ASICs  So if there's 450GH/s, start pretending to accept their shares instead of actually accepting them then fire up 450GH/s worth of ASICs and they'll never know the difference  |

Can anyone prove that an ASIC miner capable of +25ghps actually exists at this moment in time?

Only if one exists |

yeah, they named it the same exact thing even though it's a different as can be. Both the relatively slow FPGA products are yet to be released ASICs are called "bitforce" and their rigs look practically identical in all shots and mock ups I've seen. So good luck telling photos apart but WTF does 1,500MH/s? That's no ASIC or FPGA rig. Their rigs do 2,520 MH/s. Did they upgrade them? |

That one looks like it has 14 units, but I've heard of some MRs that have upwards of 20. They are FPGAs, and come in 2 speeds, 1.3GH/s and 1.46GH/s, as you can see above. |

1500MH/s is what the individual cards in their FPGA Mini Rig do. Each Mini Rig does roughly 25000MH/s. There are several of these cards (1500MH/s apiece) in a Mini Rig, and when mining with cgminer a Mini Rig appears as many individual cards as in the screenshot. |

IF they mine on main net wouldn't it be cool if they gave the purchaser the profits  /joke, rainbows and puppies dream world |

I don't know who, but I can see that someone is already capable of turning 6 Thash/s on and off.
Probably one of the asics manufacturers doing burnin test

What myth would that be? On another note, you said you had more than one pre-order. Please give me the pre-order numbers so that I can get you refunded. As I said in other threads, you have *NEVER* requested a refund. Not once.

Inaba it is nothing personal man, Just wish you guys would be honest with your customers. Tell them there is no ASIC yet that works... or one that has ever worked yet.

I did you missed it, people wanted to attack me for my post so I took it down. You can not pressure me to do nothing. Inaba knows what i'm talking about. Let see if he will admit it.

Ah, too bad I missed it. Honestly, IMO, I don't see what the big deal is even if they did use the capital to build out their business without a working prototype at first. I mean, that's pretty much the entire business plan of just about every project on Kickstarter and people don't seem to have a problem with throwing money at every new shiny thing that pops up there even when a lot of them are sure to fail.
If anyone pre-orders an ASIC device, from any company, with money they can't afford to lose, they're stupid in the first place. Just about everything about BTC is loaded with risk, so if people are willing to pony up and risk their own money, that's their prerogative.
