Why the hell would you bump this thread? So confusing.

I've noticed that this phone of bfl's chip have geostamp pointing to Unive in Fremont, CA: http://ow.ly/i/1EM8o
The company produces ASICs from 130nm to 600nm.

But chips have shipped from the fab and are on their way to the US

Maybe the info is outdated? Interesting anyway.

What good is bringing up a geostamp/EXIF when Sonny Vleisides' epic photo with his cousin's wife and nephew passing them off as his wife and son at his uncle's house does nothing but produce more orders for BFL when we post of such events?

Huh? Proof?

Any news on the chips now?

More waiting, what are you expecting from BFL.

Best thing to do is try and imagine you never ordered, if/when it turns up its a nice surprise!

Don't pop your top just yet.  They still need to be bumped, packaged, and most importantly, thoroughly tested.

This ^^

Some of you are blind aren't you? There hasn't been really any tests on the BFL "chips" that are "on the way to the US".

Hurry up and WAIT lol

Suckerz.... 

Pfft... still not done.

So will the BitForce SC product line REALLY come out in October? This is a fair question.  Let's review our track record.  If you're not aware, our initial product, the BitForce Single had a slow delivery cycle.  This was initially due to a last minute design change before initial product release.  When we did release it, we weren't quite prepared for the explosive success we had.  After several rounds of scaling, single delivery is in sufficient volume to catch up quickly. The Mini Rig product release has followed it's development and release timeline pretty well.  Initial deliveries aren't far from estimates and the speed of production is on pace to ensure most customers will get their Mini Rigs ahead of schedule. The SC product line has been under development for quite some time and is not the result of an expedited development process.  Although there are always issues during development, our team is highly experienced in exactly this field and we're currently ahead of our original timeline.  Honest Abe, we're scheduling shipments for October of 2012.

It's worse than that! Note the two spaces after the period.

Thank you, Richard.



God's speed, cruel world. I'm out!

3 months ago I said this...and still you customers are waiting.

It was blatantly obvious they had not done any testing given they didn't have the chips in their possession yet they were going to "ship" in a week or two after they arrived.

Bullshit. BFL didn't have a clue what they are doing then and they don't now.

Caution! Humor ahead.

They did make a purdy Pinocchio Box, twice as long as the old box.

Ummm,...


Hypothetically, let's say the Fab has an updated web site.


Would this mean there is a possibility that BFL's ASIC's are not, in fact, 65 nm.


And, if so, that would constitute quite a serious charge of fraud.


Surely, they wouldn't be so careless.  Disregard.  Or speculate.  Whatevs.

(I'll just leave this here.  BFL chip power spec 5x what was 'anticipated')

That'd be hilarious, I recall seeing someone from the Avalon team suggesting this possibility months ago

600nm.  Super-size me baby!  You know our moto in America: "Bigger is Better!"

Hilarious, maybe.  But there would be serious criminal charges.  Even if only part of the solution is 65 nm (ie - one of the ancillary chips) a jury would convict BFL after hearing the evidence.


So, I doubt BFL would have put themselves in such a position.  *shrugs*

I seriously doubt that they would ever get prosecuted, and even if they did it is unlikely that such a thing is even legally a problem.  I mean specs change all the time.  In the very best of circumstances the specs, appearance, timing of the units are going to be way off of the originally projected item.  Nobody is going to sue anybody over that. Or at least they are not win anything until the distant future.

BFL could just deliver some unit at some point after the 1/2 million Avalon chips get glued on to an open-source board for $10/ea and get  the legal monkey off their backs.  Or at least put it in a cage for 10 years.  BFL has check-mated their 'customers'.  Time to suck it up and move on.

BFL already broke many laws and regulations.  And they still have no FCC radiated emissions testing done.

Nobody cares, apparently.

When's someone gonna take them to court then?
