What voltage do the BA boards run at? My best MBP boards can get just over 40GH when the weather's cool. But the main bottleneck seems to be the voltage regulator. Most of my boards are overvolted to around 0.86v, and the speeds are set just below where the regulator would cut out due to overcurrent/temp. At 0.86v, they could usually be clocked higher before getting too many errors, if it weren't for the current limit. I can determine that by turning off a couple chips and clocking higher until the errors start. Do the BA boards have a higher current limit than 30A?

all the requests for lower prices to competition..... love how they are ignored.....



way to take care of the community that made you guys multi millionaires....

They're capable of 40+ with some coaxing.

HW errors are not included(noncerate vs hashrate). The reject rate hovers around .03% on bitminter so I doubt it's much of a factor either. Hashrate gyrates between 4900ish and 5400ish according to bitminter with 138 cards, a little over half of which are modded(voltage & aluminum). BtcGuild seems to be spitting out very similar numbers now, though the cards initially had stability trouble there. I dunno if a proxy update patched up the trouble or what, but they work fine on BtcGuild now.

Listen, I'm not looking to be the bitfury spokesperson, I think the gear is horribly overpriced at this point. They should at least come with heatsinks at these prices, but they are fun to tinker with and you can finesse a decent hashrate from them with some patience. Well lots of patience. It's not a very polished product to be sure.

Love cgminer btw, so thank you.

Load balance works fine on chainminer. I haven't checked the cpu load on the wimpy raspies since adding more pools, but they seem to be holding up fine with a modest overclock. Bitminter has been going down recently and the idle hashes were sent to the other two pools like clockwork. 

Yes, there's a reason many oem's are pulling out of retail.  There's tremendous workload associated with providing quality customer service, a solid refund policy and fast shipping.  Adding credit cards has increased our administrative costs due to the amount of credit card fraud.  In order to honor refund requests, I've sent millions in BTC and USD.  In addition, the presale market continues to set lower bounds on price, despite the fact the we ship and they dont.  Price fluxuations in BTC drive ROI models crazy, putting pressure on us to lower prices.  Leased haspower is at least currently demanding an attractive premium over offering retail.
MBP was and still is focused on building mines.  Retail sales has been a great way to involve the community, and initially generated some good capital, though we haven't done anything like the sales of KnC, Cointerra, etc. and in the face of 28nm, our product has become "legacy" equipment already.
All this being said, we still have an idea of what we are willing to sell our hardware for, and that is reflected in our prices.  I dont typically respond to price wars, nor do I ever engage on forum arguments about ROI.  The price point each miner will pay is a personal decision and everyone has a different strategy. 
If my prices don't appeal to you, I encourage you to shop around!  But I hope this is not perceived as a.lack of support to the community.  I remain committed to bringing our next gen products to this community along with continuing to field the best customer service and support team in the market today.

good points, but it doesnt make your product any more attractive then an antminer S1. I just know that when I am buying my next 1+TH of equipment it will be from them, because the product does the same thing but at a lower cost.

MBP deserves a premium for their payment options and FedEx delivery speeds, but not what it is now. A ~35GH card costs 0.5BTC - thats a price more than twice that of Bitmain.

However, its your store and clearly the current sales numbers are sufficient. If thats the case, then by all means continue making money - just remember that you could get many more sales at a lower price-point

Which is a real shame. You have a fine product. It's not "legacy" by any means. The only problem is the price. Since you can't meet the going $5/gh rate, we'll look forward to the next gen. Hopefully that will bring you back into a competitive price range.

Discount on future order for paying over market prices today?   There are lots of promos and things that you could do to show appreciation to the customers that have stood behind you.   Hoping that $5 million.dollar sale didnt make you think the little guys are no longer important....
