Or... a hang gliding go-kart!  Hell yeah!


Oh, OH, with thin film solar covering the wings and fleetstar/navstar internet and a few BFL boards hashing away while you fly circles around RandyFolds!

Very big circles.

It might be orbiting at that point...

Randy has acquired a satellite!

On a decaying orbit into my mouth. Nom nom nom

This is for you Randy!

Sigh - and this is as good as it get coz BFL wont open a  thread in the proper area ...

Though I still worry when BFL themselves posted shit like that that didn't even work properly ...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53530.msg662317#msg662317

(Edit: yeah I check the BFL account every so often to see if they have posted anything useful here at bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44366;sa=showPosts )

(Edit2: and of course https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44366 shows that they keep logging in but don't seem to have much to say)

if they would quit dicking around, then the thread could be normal, like the guy selling the icarus board, or fizzisist and co. but bfl wants to play around. I say atthis point, why not have some fun? this thread is "off-topic" anyway Undecided

No one needs to talk about anything until there is something to talk about.

1) I bought a Single. I'm involved now.

2) Vladimir is reviewing them in the UK soon.

As far as I'm concerned, they're a startup that needs time to start-up. Leave 'em alone and stop watching the water boil everyone.

They claim to be pros. "Butterfly Labs has more than a decade of experience in FPGA & ASIC stand alone system design."

I'm Matthew. Now that I'm editor, I am super serious and business-like. This is a business/pleasure thread, holmes. Kind of like Hawaiian shirt day at the office.

Do you guys have your single? I am going to play the tinfoil card and throw out that if you guys get one well before any of the others and they still don't have concrete ship dates, you could be Bruce Wagnering the Mybitcoin of FPGAs.

How "could it cost" if it's already "costing" 600$? Your assumption gives me a mindf*ck.

Who are you quoting?  You're the only "could it cost" I can find on this page.  I also don't see $600 anywhere else.  Your post gives me a mindf*ck.

Did someone say,

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

I'm guessing he was talking about my last post. Someone who knows way more about this stuff than I do thinks he has a good guess on the chips and they are not cheap. It's just an educated guess so don't quote me.

I caught it. Unlike you apparently, as myself and several others have made very similar guesses many times over now.  Tongue

cheers

Odd I see a frog in an icecube. They have 54 units? That is promising. I doubt they would make that many fake boxes.

it's a pic of 54 stratix chips with the identifications sanded off..

Really, they could be ANY chip with the identifications sanded off.
