There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Could easily be a scam, or a failed attempt at an honest business, but isn't the price rise a good sign? I've been hoping their prices would rise, it seemed like the obvious thing they should do if 1) price of btc has risen and 2) demand for their devices has exceeded their potential near-term supply. Then again, I have a little single on order, so maybe I'm just starry-eyed. http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/364/d/c/pinkie_pie_starry_eyed_by_blondecat-d4kpf1w.png |

The prices rose and the performance fell, no that's not a good thing for a pre-order vaporware product. Avalon is working on a successor product to their modular units and we know those guys can deliver. ASICMiner is getting into hardware sales and we know those guys can deliver. Ordering from BFL was a risky proposition as it was with off the charts efficiency, given the risk of insolvency and danger of never breaking even on your purchases even if they do ship. Now the risk is increased even higher at a time when Avalon is about to ship 80+Th and ASICMiner is bringing online another 50Th. BFL's response? Lower hashrates, massively increase power consumption, and increase prices. Ordering from BFL at this point is a near certain losing proposition given the tremendous lead times. Good thing they sent out those discount vouchers to the people they've already fleeced eh?

The price rise is a desperate attempt to staunch the flow of refund demands before they run out of money to pay Josh's salary. |

HAHA. I paid in FIAT and I think the USD is actually less valuable now... I have no regrets at all. No wait,, I should have wired the money to get my under #3000 order in. I regret that but no that much. |

i just want SOMEONE to deliver a lower priced option for ASIC. i mean, with avalon the only game in town right now, the little guy (hi!) is screwed. all i can do is buy asicminer shares (and barely that...) a low cost mining device would be VERY welcome. shame BFL is the only one to offer one.

i don't post much, but this space for rent.

Hehe maybe the 3dfx reference is apt. But I don't know, the Voodoo 3 kicked ass  Late '90's Voodoo 5 video card image for the <30 crowd:  I remember those monsters, they needed their own dedicated power from the wall  |

Yes, I regret not dumping 200 BTC into a Single 10 months ago. That 200 BTC is now worth $28,000. I am so sad! honestly, if you REALLY felt BTC would have increased in value it would of been bset to buy 200 BTC with cash ASAP after placing the order, then you wouldnt of been out the mone) |
