Today may seem like a big day (hardware mining "officially" begins) but I'll tell you tomorrow is far more important. Wish us luck.
Tease.  grnbrg. Maybe a little bit, but I just noticed you're tagged "Official LRM Shill" Hahahahhahaha |

I have something very big in the works that would mean LRM is very sustainable. I can assure you of that.
Have you thought much about moving operations to (or starting new operations in) Washington state for the really cheap electricity? I was just told Iceland is looking to bring big business there and are offering completely free power for the time being... That's what I'm looking into <3 Iceland, beautiful country. |

That's what I'm looking into Free power and natural cooling -- was waiting for Iceland to speak up. In fact, I'd love to see that country adopt BTC as its co-currency (they've been looking for one, and there was a lot of talk about using the Canadian $). Now the last victory would be getting into bed with an ASIC manufacturer, or doing it ourselves such that we no longer have supply issues. Older production tech + free power beats 28nm, and if we were to roll our own chips, we could offset some of the cost through a limited amount of sales. I can dream... |

If they could get it, then it would be a lower delivery cost to ship hardware from Sweden to Iceland than from Texas, China or Russia |

I'm noticing the operative term "for the time being". Not sure why Iceland would offer free electricity. The cooling costs would certainly be better than Washington state. I've heard that Washington state can be as low as a penny and half per kilowatt hour. That's pretty close to free, especially compared to other places. |

I never 100% confirmed with BFL what "place in line" I hold, but when asked at a bitcoin conference where I am in line by one of my bondholder's they stated I'd be first delivery (other than James Gibson I'm sure ) I am going to get in contact with Dave at BFL and set up a meeting with them in the next couple weeks. I'll be flying out there to check on progress and hope for the best. Today may seem like a big day (hardware mining "officially" begins) but I'll tell you tomorrow is far more important. Wish us luck. Not sure if you have a solution for the backplane (MB) for the monarchs but it looks like ASROCK has come up with one http://www.asrock.com/news/index.asp?cat=News&ID=1765. Mind you - from what I recall you had a few GPU units running before! |

Mind you - from what I recall you had a few GPU units running before! I believe monarchs will be via USB as well if I recall correctly so no need for a backplane, just hang them and get a hub!  Edit: USB 2.0 - Monarch cards can be used as an external computer peripheral and chained via USB hub. In this mode the Bitcoin Mining Hardware can be controlled via an Android host or standard Linux or Windows computer. https://products.butterflylabs.com/600-gh-bitcoin-mining-card.html |

But I can think of better ways to do it that aren't rigged so cheaply... Trust me... I can run every one I receive and then some... |

Here, I've got a load of old dead motherboards, I'd be thinking of using those as mechanical support. Maybe even sawn up so there's just bunches of slots. Might need to use a "condom" over the PCIe pins on the monarchs though, just so nothing shorts. Likely I'm not going to have enough of them to worry about it... unless it's in a couple of years time when I pick them up for $50 a pop. |
