Cool, I thought that the deadline was Friday. BTW I ordered (paid) a Saturn, but I've a spare Jupiter to pay, any1 wanna party? (no chicks sorry)

[bitpop]

better for us if thats what it takes

They are become bio material for the new chips

no sign of second crew either

so they are gone ?

[rammy2k2]

why do people go crazy abt buyng pre-order when this company is simply gone for some time ?

[keyzersoze]

I attended the openday today. Met bitcoinorama and a few others.
It was pretty informative, we got through allt the questions and then some. It's probably gonna take him a while to write up all the q&a's, and he should have an audio recording to help him out.
I got the same impression as the last crew. They seemed really confident to be able to get product out by september, multiple buffers and backups along the way. They couldnt understand how/why it could have gone so wrong for bfl.

[bitpop]

They're about to find out how things go wrong, but I hope not as badly

Some good news from the openday, finally.

So after visiting what is your honest impression?
Are you investing in them?

[keyzersoze]

Well, they kinda could actually. Bfl arent asic designers like orsoc. But they were kinda impressed with what the so called "amature college students" were able to acheive with theire Avalons.

[keyzersoze]

Yup. Saturn bought and payed for. Just wish i had one of those sweet 1-500 spots.

Thanks for the feedback it is appreciated, got any pics for us?

[keyzersoze]

The impression i got was: they wont make any money, untill we make money from theese machines, and come back for a second order around christmas. Thats when they'l start seeing any profit. They want theese machines out to us asap, and they have a more than qualified chip-design team (with all the necessary framework) to back them up.

They seem to have gotten it mostly right up untill now.  Lets hope they keep the trend up.

[bitpop]

These machines will be 10x as expensive when they gain trust.

Bitcoinorama shot some closeup video of the Mars prototype hashing away.

From the sound of it, they're quite happy with the prising as it is.

[DPoS]

These machines will be 10x as expensive when they gain trust.

or perhaps 3x once I get my 2 saturns and want some instant ROI from one of them   

[erschiessen]

So is it your impression that by New Years there will be a newer model miner?

[fragout]

They said earlier that they would be keeping a close eye on hash/$ ratio during development. Does this mean that they might increase the hashing power of the machines closer to shipping if the difficulty increases too much or the price of btc drops significantly ?

why buy 2 saturns instead of 1 jupiter ?- just curious

I think I just described it...  you can't sell half a jupiter

and if by bad luck power problems happen like with BFL the smaller one won't need it's own generator to work

playing it safe you can say
