Man, I hope there is something inside that box holding those heavy heatsinks in place or there will be a bad rattling sound when those boxes arrive... |

man I hope they get up to speed and ship stuff faster then that guy.I swear I think they could make a miner faster! (hopefully was not 'swedish' speed and only demo) I notice they turned the camera off before you "hot footed' out the door with the box bitcoinorama? Searing |

...they should implement everything on hundreds (if not thousands) of machines...
I am sure every customer would be more than ok to start with doing a software update of the miner right after receiving it. So there is no need to wait with shipping because of that. Mining software should be already up to date as it is in the beaglebone... It's cgminer with a custom driver... and has about 10-25% hw errors |

It's not exactly wishful thinking or day dreaming since Sam said on the launch video "shipping today", maybe it's naive to believe him but people are expecting their units today based on what he explicitly said. BTW I hope they hire someone with more packing skills than the guy on oramas video, otherwise we are screwed  We will contact you per email as soon as your order is ready with the details for pickup.
Starting the production lines did not go as smoothly as they did expect.
meeeh, I don't think that they will start shipping todat.( It doesn't look like they will ship this week at all. AFAIK they are still working on debugging (+25% hardware error, right?), webinterface, etc. - as soon as they have gone through these processes they should implement everything on hundreds (if not thousands) of machines, pack them up, etc. People in here daydream and think that you can take the very first version of a bleeding edge piece of hardware directly from the production line, pack it up and send it up to thousands of customers in just one day, without any kind of testing/debugging. Wishful thinking and day dreaming all over this forum... |

Is this Marcus? How much staff do they have? EDIT: my private estimation is 50 - 75 units per day. 25 - 37.5 Thash per day. |

and they can't promise that a backup mining pool will be in the first revision of this software.   I wanted to SSH so I could add a couple of failover pools. This was the only thing I wanted to do the day I get my miner. THIS IS NUMBER 1 SOFTWARE PRIORITY TO SORT KNC. I don't want my miner sitting idle because one pool is under ddos  I called someone an amateur the other day for not having a failover pool and KNC are going to make us all amateurs if we can't set up multiple failover pools use p2pool - forget about pool ddos |

By the way... not enough sticky tape on that box  Needs tape on all the edges, bottom and top. Otherwise, delivery guy chucks it into the van, the whole box may come flying out because only one tape is holding each side |

Haha, with that kind of speed on the packaging line, they have to shut down the pick-n-place machines to avoid a pile up! :-)) (Bitcoinorama - was that you on the vid? :-)) |

use p2pool - forget about pool ddos
Can you explain why this is different to a pool like btcguild in terms of ddos? distributed. decentralized. no single point of failure. see: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool |

Seems BFL are responding with a Monarch prototype.
it does not take a lot to make a prototype board for demo purposes if you don't show the ASIC chip more smoke and mirrors.
I can't post on BFL forums anymore but they are basically destroying the monarch on price vs shipping (ie feb) compared to orders now from knc in november
I'd have really liked to be a fly on the wall when Josh heard the following:
1) KNC is up and hashing with a working unit (maybe 1 day late) (that alone would have been epic)
2) KNC has increased the hashing power by 44% so my 600gh now has an extra 264gh potential increase now to around maybe 864gh
and of course 3 which really frosts the cake
3) That 264gh increase in hashing power is at NO COST
MAN talk about a bad day at BFL!
Just goes to show always go with the guys who start in april and say by September with the only proof is a web site with line drawings of the miners...
(must be a Swedish thing)
sheez this ASiC world is weird
Searing
hmmm....should probably not be bashing BFL and this card in that I had a "force uprgade" in my view with BFL no refund policy I upgraded to the monarch
my 60gh order.....I was right to do that I'm never gonna see the 60gh unit in time to do anything with it at the rate they are shipping..but was the only game in town
so this rat ran to the 600gh......likely both are lost live an learn doubt bfl will last long enough to get it out the door imho

Currently, we are working non-stop installing our new boards, hot off the production line, and getting them up and running. We expect to have 7.5 terahash up and mining by late morning and for that number to climb steadily to 150 terahash by this Friday.
What does this mean for you?
You will be able to see your contracts mining on your dashboards by late morning, and in two days you should be mining at full capacity
