According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I hate to quote myself but seriously, nobody should have ordered these with even the slightest belief that they would deliver anything even vaguely close to what they were promising. How the hell are they going to deal with the cooling needs if these are supposed to be packed next to each other in PCI-E slots?
There was never any friggin' way you could get a 600GH/s miner running on 28nm on a PCI-E card that looks like a video card, otherwise the much more talented engineers at other firms wouldn't have all gone with way more intense cooling solutions. The product they promised was clearly impossible to begin with so it's bizarre that anybody is surprised that it's going to be delayed and absolutely nothing like originally planned. I bet they have a bunch of Minirig cases left over  |

I thought people would have learnt a lesson by now about BFL. Looks like people are still giving them chances.

It may be a few new people. I hoping its mostly older customer who saw KNC shipping 550GH/s units and thinking WTF is my 60GH/s Single going to do. Fine, I'll shell a little more for 600GH/s. Problem is those people just extended their pain. |

What I like is that they get the free water cooled upgrade because of the delay
Translation: The foundry said Water cool these or they will turn to molten lava 2 minutes after you plug them in.
Next months news: A free bottle of liquid nitrogen with every purchase!!
LOL

All sales are final. According to reports I've read, the official response asking for a refund is a suggestion to sell the preorder on EBay or to another interested party. |
