Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Update: I have exchanged some email with @BFL_Josh , and some things have been clarified.
My unit is probably closer to prototype than a production-quality review unit. In particular, one of the two chips in my miner is a dud, and non-functional. Production 5GH/s miners will all have 2 functional ASIC chips. Because mine has only one, it has been clocked higher, and is not quite capable of reaching 5 GH/s. But I'm happy with it.

Define happy dude? |

Exactly. It doesn't look that bad after all. If normal (customer) jalapenos have two underclocked chips, they should have potential to be overclocked to ~8GH/s. With proper cooling of course. |

I'd be happy if it shipped 6 months ago with problems. What a joke.

This is actually interesting: 1 chip fullspeed = 25W and 4.1GH 2 chips underclocked = 32W and 5.5GH This is REALLY interesting for overclocking!!! Still has the problem that 8 chips will never be able to give 50GH... @grnbrg we'll see how long that poor little chip lasts!  |

Define happy dude? He got a free 4Gh/s review unit. What's not to be happy about? |

Define happy dude? Happy = receiving a machine that will make you ~$1000 a month (at current difficulty, at least) for free Jealous = making fun of someone for being happy. I'm jealous too. |

How much were you paid to use such a ridiculous title for this thread? BFL's Jalapeno exists - I have one in my hand and just uploaded a video You could have used: it is not a scam, BUY BUY BUY! I can imagine how much you were paid. You were paid..... A Jalapeno. Nice and cheap way to buy someone. Shame on you. |

So basically order with PayPal and they will legally force BFL to bump you in the queue!? I wonder if you can get even higher in the queue by ordering with PayPal and then immediately canceling your PayPal account? |

Can you walk me through your conservative math please? I assume by "profit margin" you mean markup (or a 75% gross margin) or maybe you actually mean Josh has promised investors' a "profit that is 4X revenue", that would be a whole new thread though. Try to remember the price has changed so you need to use the actual revenue that they should recognize as they ship. I am actually interested. I can help you start if you want. $149 Revenue (let's assume they b/e on shipping). COGS (according to conservative estimate of intern): $37.25. So, you claim it is very conservative to assume their 2 chip jallie costs them less than $37.25 to make. Can you please break it down for us who are not as wise as you please? |

Everyone has the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons of preordering, and everyone has a choice of whether to preorder or not. I see no scheme here. |
