Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

36.5 watts for 5gh/s. that's 500 watts to match a 3 module avalon, that's not 40-50% less than the competition. 2 of these to match an erupter blade would end up at 73 watts to the erupters 83.
All this wait and they've missed by that much.

Seriously, I could care less exactly how many watts this thing uses - as long as it doesn't catch fire or melt itself as far as I'm concerned it is good to go! Get in production and ship me mine! Wasting a few more KW/H per month matters much less than the ramp up of difficulty that is going on now.

I would be great if they posted the video on a site that actually worked. God Damn Youtube fucking sucks.

4/16 "There's plenty of doubt, it has nothing to do with us. It's probably someone relaying blocks through EMC I would imagine. BFL is not mining on the live network." Somebody forgot to switch pools....  |

It's a different case shape to the images on their website. A lot smaller than I imagined. I thought it would be about the size of a Mac Mini or so. 36.5 watts for 5gh/s. that's 500 watts to match a 3 module avalon, that's not 40-50% less than the competition. 2 of these to match an erupter blade would end up at 73 watts to the erupters 83.

That's incorrect math, the device obviously has other components in it than just the ASIC module, which it doesn't need multiples of, so you can't multiply to total power consumption by 12 (which was 32 not 36.5watts) and say a 60Ghz version would use 384watts. The video also said something about a revised PCB drawing less. |

Exactly. Looks like another lie from BFL. BUSTED!! |

I like how he says, "looks like about what you would expect."
No, that doesn't look about what I would expect. When I purchased my 4.5 GH miner it was way smaller than that, and the 30 GH and 60 GH miners were that size.

A whole lot larger than a 4.5GH/s Jalapeno - where are the Jalapenos?

Yeah, it seems with the increased power usage comes increased heat, so now what was supposed to be a coffee warmer needs to be actively cooled with fans, and gets put in a larger case.
And did you hear the fan/s in the video? I wonder what the larger 60 GH device will sound like. I was really looking forward to the silence that the ASICs were supposed to bring. Oh well.

 Exactly my thought. -"Eh, no. It's quite different from what the Jalapeno was supposed to look like. Andthe IDLE power is higher than the expected PEAK power!" (Sleep power is suggested to be lower though...) Oh well, still, get those devices out the door. Pronto. |

Exactly. Looks like another lie from BFL. BUSTED!! Please explain this more to those of us sitting in the back of the short bus. Also, I don't understand the 4/16 reference. |

You can't compare the wattage on a BFL with an Avalon. An Avalon is a self-contained mining device. Add in the wattage for the laptop and the BFL is less efficient than an Avalon! ROFLMAO.

He's trying to say they they lied about not mining out in public pools. But then people complained that the other video didn't show real mining. Every BFL thread going to be a shitshow trollfest until they ship something. Rightfully so i guess.

Yeah I'd certainly prefer to see "demo" videos that are on a live public server. |
