Just because BFL are a terrible asic company to do business with doesn't mean we should pigeon hole every other BTC Asic company as the same.
I don't think anyone would disagree with this ASIC company comparison at all. With regard to stereotyping in general, what can I say. Nobody is perfect. Our life experiences shape who we are. But yeah, a little bit of "foot-in-mouth" due to having a degree of respect for Bick. If you've never been rudely shrugged off by a Quebecois IN MONTREAL because you lack the ability to speak French, and they refuse to speak English, then, well, I guess I'm the asshole... Sorry for derailing this thread. |

Butterfly Labs has a different interpretation of the FTC Mail Order Rule. You do not have a refund option with the BFL Monarch no matter how late they ship.

Since this is a Monarch update thread, who here wants to hear a little story about HashTrade? You know, HashTrade, that new company that just placed a $1M USD down payment of a multi-million dollar Monarch order so that the little guys could mine without owning any Bitcoin mining equipment, for they'll be hosted elsewhere like, I don't know, maybe Missouri? It's been all over the internet, and guess what? There's millions of smart people worldwide ready to get in on the action. Smart people like, I don't know, maybe like...  Geordie, me going give you Special Olympics hug! |

Here is Prototype #2 Seems like lots of little chips You know what, seems like it will be their bitforce ASIC die shrunk, tweaked and tuned up running at probably closer to 1Ghz.... Which implies to me that they will have very few teething troubles with it, compared to a completely fresh design. |

I'll just leave this here.....  Be they ASICs or nay on that test board, the number and size will be the same, therefore same inferences may be drawn... i.e about half the size of 65nm chip, implying same number of logic elements at smaller node size, divide 600 Ghash by 48 chips, you get 12.5 Ghash/chip, which when 65nm is nominal 4-4.5Ghash at 270-300Mhz-ish implies same number of engines running at 3x the speed. |

LOL what? Did you not see what KnC did to test their modules? I don't even like arguing about Butterfly Labs "Chips" based on their past records  Keep drawing your own conclusions though... |
