Did you know there were 2 other pics and the heatsink-less version matches up perfectly and the layout is correct for an ASIC?
Yes if it is a physical replica I would expect it to match, and if it is a semi decent image forgery too.
What's the 'correct' layout for an ASIC?
But let me ask you this if the picture shows a working protoype why wasn't that shown on CES?
It's a replica alright, as long as there are no working SHA-256 chips in it.
What I find also puzzeling is that these replicas weren't shown either. There certainly wouldn't have been the whole micon vs josh drama if it were.
Or are you just a piece of shit, arrogant forum troll douche who doesn't read anything? Given your ignore count, I'm going to go with troll douche. I'm tempted to go place a pre-order so I can get it in a couple days and throw it at you. That'd be money well spent.
Don't be offended with me, I am simply a sceptic. I'm not 'convinced' BFL is a scam or anything, I just say it's a strong possibility. This producing ASICs with that specs isn't some mathematical impossibility in theory it still could happen. And if you really think the risk is low enough for you and they will fulfil their promises by all means pre-order one.
You should rather be mad at those people who spread false information and act if their own opinion is a fact. I try to never do this and if you feel like this is the case, just kindly tell me what it is and I will clarify or revise it.
