man I hope they get up to speed and ship stuff faster then that guy.I swear I think they could make a miner faster!

(hopefully was not 'swedish' speed and only demo)

I notice they turned the camera off before you "hot footed' out the door with the box bitcoinorama?

It's not exactly wishful thinking or day dreaming since Sam said on the launch video "shipping today", maybe it's naive to believe him but people are expecting their units today based on what he explicitly said.

BTW I hope they hire someone with more packing skills than the guy on oramas video, otherwise we are screwed  

That was probably orama doing a selfie. Talks a good game, but can't fold the flaps on a box!

I guess him and that box are on their way to Atlanta later today.

Seems BFL are responding with a Monarch prototype.

By the way... not enough sticky tape on that box

Needs tape on all the edges, bottom and top.

Otherwise, delivery guy chucks it into the van, the whole box may come flying out because only one tape is holding each side

Can you explain why this is different to a pool like btcguild in terms of ddos?

Haha, with that kind of speed on the packaging line, they have to shut down the pick-n-place machines to avoid a pile up! :-))

(Bitcoinorama - was that you on the vid? :-))

Seems BFL are responding with a Monarch prototype.









it does not take a lot to make a prototype board for demo purposes if you don't show the ASIC chip more smoke and mirrors.

I can't post on BFL forums anymore but they are basically destroying the monarch on price vs shipping (ie feb) compared to orders now from knc in november


I'd have really liked to be a fly on the wall when Josh heard the following:

1) KNC is up and hashing with a working unit (maybe 1 day late) (that alone would have been epic)

2) KNC has increased the hashing power by 44% so my 600gh now has an extra 264gh potential increase now to around maybe 864gh

and of course 3 which really frosts the cake

3) That 264gh increase in hashing power is at NO COST

MAN talk about a bad day at BFL!

Just goes to show always go with the guys who start in april and say by September with the only proof is a web site with line drawings of the miners...


(must be a Swedish thing)

sheez this ASiC world is weird

hmmm....should probably not be bashing BFL and this card in that I had a "force uprgade" in my view with BFL no refund policy I upgraded to the monarch
my 60gh order.....I was right to do that I'm never gonna see the 60gh unit in time to do anything with it at the rate they are shipping..but was the only game in town
so this rat ran to the 600gh......likely both are lost live an learn doubt bfl will last long enough to get it out the door imho

Thank you !!

can you now reveal any details of the board issue that required extra time ?

AH
