2-3 weeks to go until the first unboxing of a BFL ASIC?? MAYBE?

[AndrewBUD]

I would think so yes..

[squid]

Does anybody know if cgminer will be able to work with the new ASICs?  It's the only miner I use in my BAMT setup 

I know the author of cgminer is working directly with Tom for the bASIC hardware support.

Yes, I will be developing for both bASIC and the BFL SC devices. However, BAMT is dropping support for cgminer.

Haha - totally forgot about Schrodinger's Cat.  Am so glad the cat is alive  This image haunts me.

Am glad to hear cgminer will work with BFL SC line 

Ckolivas and lodcrappo -  BAMT and cgminer work so nicely together!  My little 7 GPU mining setup has been running reliably for months, even on a weak wifi signal... I just wish I had discovered this genius combination a year or so ago. From 95F to 30F ambient temps, I never have to worry about fan settings, auto-downclocking etc with cgminer.  The best part is how it all can be reset with a simple power cycle, by using BAMTs ultra-easy config file.  Although cgminer can be re-added to BAMT, it'd be a shame for an updated version of it not to be included in the BAMT image.  People should have the option of a future version of cgminer, so they can discover from day 1 of testing that cgminer will have been the correct choice.

Lodcrappo, Ckolivas is a non-stop improver, and I'm sure cgminer will continue to have its strengths over other miners in the ASIC era.  I'm looking forward to the next BAMT release, where it'll be run on a mix of FPGA and ASIC (and possibly GPUs to heat my garage area ambient temp to above freezing during this transitional time) !

Thanks. However I'm pretty sure Lodcrappo won't be reading this particular forum thread.

Boy, you all just got trolled hard.

I'm not trolling. This is serious debate, which is actualy not started by me, but ckolivas looking down on me. I just countered with truth.

The fact remains none of you really know ckolivas. The fact remains all he needs to do to steal countless wallets in future is to deploy
payload which can do theft in some future upgrade of his miner. Your anti-virus software won't even notice, since you have his miner on
exclusion list for years now, and possibly even forgot about it all. But it won't happen, right? "He is a very nice guy, and you are stupid!"

If you think it would be first time in history that people got scammed by someone who built trust with community-dedicated hard work
over prolonged period of time, than you're really dumb.

Those who didn't learn from past mistakes are destined to repeat them.

Why the hell do you need anti-virus software?  You're not stupid enough to keep your wallet on a Windows box are you?

[viperzero]

Btw,

forget to thankyou Ckolivas for all your great contributions, just planning to use your scheduler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler

Things are getting rather exciting 

I bet you are looking forward to holding that parcel with your Jalapeño or single "sc" in it.. 

So what's the latest on the hardware shipping dates? Will BFL make it happen this time, or is it all gonna be delayed to next year??

LOL   CHECK THIS DUDE OUT IN OCTOBER OF 2012  HE DREAMS ABOUT BFL ASIC UMBOXING:)  IN 2 -3 WEEKS


7 MONTHS LATER    MARCH 2013 NOT EVEN BFL HAS A  WORKING UNIT

NOT THE NAIVE FRUICAKE  WHO UTERED THE POST:)

OH WELL

BUT HEY ACORDING TO JOSH IN 2-3 WEKKS WE WILL HAVE ASICS IN HAND LOL:)

MOUNTING FANS IN MINIRIG FOR THE  THE JANUARY SHOW?

THIS IMAGE IS FAKE BY JOSH ADMITION  THEY HAVE CHIPS AT PACKAGING

[Nemesis]

BFL should NEVER EVER announce a product withe a release date again. They should squirrel away with the VC and profits from FPGAs then one day go:
"Oh hey everybody, you can buy this awesome device NOW, we have them in stock"

Why would they do that?  

Nov will turn into Dec and right around the time people get pissed they will demo a board or two and promise shipment will go soon.  Soon will turn in January or maybe February and even then the product will come out in a trickle.

I mean going that route made them a mint when selling FPGA.  Their customers paid up front, they didn't have to risk any of their own capital, and the way early pre-announcement killed sales of competitors.  A win-win-win.  

Why wouldn't they do it again? Given the bitcoin community rewarded them for their prior business actions (accepting orders based on a simulation, grossly inaccurate specs, false shipping times, etc) why would they change? 

D&T, whats your plan for future mining or you quit completely?

[Nemesis]

Just saw this posted in another thread...

We are not going to be shipping the first week of November, I can definitely say that.  We are waiting on the bulk chips from the foundry, that is really the major delay right now.  As soon as that dam breaks loose, we pretty much have everything else either ready to go or in the pipeline to be completed shortly.

Q: when

They are not done yet.  We are paying for what's called a "bullet run" though, which is essentially an expedited process to get the chips done sooner.

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/showthread.php/104-Shipping-in-2-3-weeks/page8

They will probably hire some extra staff to make the 700pc a day runs going on with there haevily invested production equipment they bought this month a face tot face section of there employees at there production facility  be cool on there website, but without sunclasses  haha..GL and just click my link@sig would give u some rest...

How does that even make sense? They don't even have the chips yet.. but what about soldering everything to the PCB? Who does that? Do they even have their PCB yet?

PCB is mostly done by machines, its not an issue. They say PCB is already finished, just waiting for chips to complete.

If you want to communicate properly, it would help if (1) you corrected your maths: 5 months not 7, and if (2) you STOPPED SHOUTING please.

I see why your ignore button is highlighted

[NEO2012]

2-3 weeks until hardware is shipped out that has yet to provide proof of a working device. Seems like that isn't enough time to go from board prototype to shipment.

yeah 6 months later  seems

like squid new what he was talking about:)

7 MONTHS LATER AND NOTHING SHIPPED YET

APRIL IS 2 DAYS AWAY

AND WE HAVE AN UPDATE FOR STRING ALONG OSCAR NOMINATED SCAM ARTIST JOSH
THAT THEY WILL SHEEP SOON LOL
BUT THEY JUST NOT WANNA PUT A DATE ON IT YET?


ARE U FAKIN KIDDING ME?

OH AND HALF THE CHIPS DUBBLE THE POWER USAGE LOL
