again the benefit is for those who pay around $.26 a kW and ti is cost prohibitive to run GPU farms. It is for those who have low capacity, apartments, renting, or do not have access to high capacity power. I'm grateful in that I'm not limited by those constraints but I welcome it for those who would like to participate but cannot.
I live in an apt, but pay only $0.06/kW and am honestly more interested in raw power then low power draw. I am of course hoping for both  |

I would be ready to order once numbers and timeframes are released.

Same here! ditto Ask and you shall receive The hardware design is being discussed with some specifics locked down, still a ways off of the first prototype however but are moving quickly. This ends Week 2, for our short time in existence I think we have made a large amount of progress that is continuing at this pace. We are being deliberately tight lipped until we have something concrete to report to keep our expectations managed as well as yours. I think we have all seen (in BFLs case) the end results of getting ahead of ourselves, and have no desire to go down that road. There are discussions and progress in mapping the plan out in our JIRA development site, a part of which we will likely make public when it is time, but otherwise unwilling to divulge more than we are comfortable with. I have a personal announcement that I lost my meager meat-world job as of last Friday. As such, I will be running BlockBurner full time from now on through project completion and beyond. This does not affect our operations on a financial level, so all is good. If anything this is better in that I can now give my full and undivided attention the project and our supporters. Operatr |

I am very interested in FPGA for scrypt mining.

When a prototype is developed, would it be possible for those of us willing to accept the risk to buy a proto?

I would imagine not. Firstly we would only be generating a very limited number of dev boards, but I personally don't believe in this kind of "early access" or pay-to-win scenario. I think everyone should have a fair chance when the time comes. I have some other ideas to mitigate order fairness, as I see some clear issues the way BFL and others have handled their pre-order campaigns (or didn't handle depending on who you ask). Otherwise, I have a newsletter in the works as well as our own site forums that expect to be alive within a day or two, and integrating the social aspects further so no matter your venue of choice, you can get updates directly from the source.

no offense , but I'm really finding it funny that people keep saying that,(or things like that) i mean did you guys come down in the last shower, or is it just me? woops BFL are just really , woopsy incompetent ! ... {tune in Benny hill music} {meanwhile at the BFL labs}........."wooh guys woops we lost another ASIC block! - dam slippery fingers Steve! - and Joe what are you doing over there ? COOKING TOAST ! omg ! ha ha !
ha ha but we sure are making out with all the ones we are mining with hey guys???
Jenny the accountant lost ALLL the ORDERS AGAIN!, oh Jenny have another drink !
Ha ha whats our # now......woooh better keep TESTING !! voltage problems and such , you know how it is..... ; ) "{Benny hill music..fades...}Que in alternate reality where BTC stays at our around $1 USD - BFL running with stern Efficiency that makes even the strongest German stereotype's green with envy, all orders shipped. its called capitalism/freemarket, it really surprises me that you guys haven't quite, cottoned on to it ? |

I am definitely interested in purchasing Litecoin mining units and/or investing in this endeavor. Keep me on your interest list.
I am interested in pre-ordering to fund the cost of first production, once a proof-of-concept can be seen that your hardware is ready for pre-orders.
What is a reasonable price? Depends on performance. Maybe estimate it versus the cost and performance of a 7970 or 7950.
Thank you,

You'd better expect that until someone goes onward to ASIC, these things are going to need to be massively mass-produced, churned out in vast vast numbers... Way more than the puny few hundred a day that seems likely to make BFL take forever to deliver ASICs even if/when they do reach that imagined capacity. Scrypt is fashionable! -MarkM- |

In the spirit of fairness; how about when the time comes you are accepting preorders you do it in sort of a raffle. I'm guessing the wave of people jumping at the chance to preorder one will be way more then whatever can be manufactured. Even if i was one of the many that didn't get a winning spot for a preorder i'd be fine knowing it was simply a matter of luck, and not because i didn't jump in on the first ten minutes of the announcement or because three guy ran in and ordered them all.
