Topic: 280 BTC total bets between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?) - page 3. (Read 46415 times)

Looks like we have a definite customer who has not been to BFL and received an actual unit they ordered AND verified the hashrate: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89685.msg2266484#msg2266484

1 of 3 customers required to win the bet, then.

2/3 required to win the bet - another customer reporting 30w power draw @ 5.6GH/s: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1flgob/its_certainly_been_a_wild_ride_but_the_wait_was/cabwir2

5.5GH at 28.7 watts

3/3!

Micon, I believe this concludes our bet. Please let me know if you disagree.

I will review everything soon. It's WSOP time, may take me a few days.

Are you saying you won the 150 and the 350? or just the 350?

Both of my bets (the 40 BTC and 200 BTC) were at 150MH/J, so I won it all (240 BTC total).

EDIT:
First bet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1471640
Second bet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1833042

thanks, will review soon, give me a few days as I'm leaving as we speak to play the $1500 PLH WSOP event starting in under 2 hours.

That is fine, but can I have a definite date at least? Don't want this to drag on forever.

5.5 GH at 28, it was 27.8 earlier and I realized the photo didn't show it plugged into the KillAWatt so I got a better one. Yeah, that's a dirty power strip, but it works and it's old...and you lost Micon.

Micon, I believe I have won our bet!

The text that we bet upon:

Quote

BFL will ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3 customers (at least 1 device per customer) who post pix & verify hashrate by 12:01am EST 7/1. No BFL-employee or anyone that has been to BFL labs personally to settle the 3 customers pix & hashrate. If BFL ships a device that does not meet the power specification, but then does ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices meeting the above criteria before the deadline, then SgtSpike wins the bet.

grnbrg - reports 4.0 GH/s @ 26 watts = 153 MH/J
https://forums.butterflylabs.com/hardware-discussion/1983-grnbrgs-unboxing-teardown-new-bitforce-5-gh-s-sc-miner.html

Codinginmysleep - reports 5.5 GH/s @ 30 watts = 183 MH/J
http://codinginmysleep.com/bfl-jalapeno-unboxing-and-demo/

Gigavps - reports 5 GH/s @ 30 watts = 1.66 MH/J
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1962352

Those are three customers who have posted pictures (or video) to verify hashrate, and as far as I know, none of them are employed by BFL or have been to BFL labs personally.

If you agree, please send me the escrow code.

SgtSpike, are you serious? Those you've mentioned are proven BFL sockpuppets. Trustworthy members have to report their findings, not paid BFL fanboys!

I don't know why you're attacking him for that post when he later went on to say he'll wait for additional people to confirm their delivery and statistics.

Pretty much expected to win the 350's and lose the 150's

very curious... about a month ago I expected a flood of orders shipped / rec'd. I expected 100's of units reported rec'd by now.

But, it's BFL, so as usual we shall wait a bit longer for the results.

I think they've only shipped a few dozen units, many of them promotional. Several customers have reported receiving them, but this is the first one who actually took pictures of the power consumption.

I'd say you won quite a while ago, but there you go.

I would too. Just trying to make it a clean win.

Linux since 1997 RedHat 4

I ordered a Jalapeno but I've been to BFL so I guess that counts me out

Mine is 32W and 5.4GH/s (rounded down)
ckolivas' is 5.7GH/s

... and of course we've both been mining with them for over a week (since we got them working on the afternoon we got them) on our (better) cgminer

I had already written the code, but of course needed to test and debug it once we got the hardware

I will evaluate the current reports then in all likelihood send the codes for the winning bets.
Still a handful at 350+ we can work on a settlement or leave it and evaluate it at the appropriate date.

I thought they had to be customers? Greenberg received his because he reposts everything josh says to twitter. Coding in my sleep is not a customer unit either.
Where are the three customers' posts at?

All three of them are customers as far as I know. I suppose that should be clarified by them though.

If you watch their videos and read their blog posts they made when they received the units it said that Greenberg got his because of this work on the "unofficial" BFL news twitter account (BUT greenberg is also a customer that has an order too and greenberg's unit is not a production unit (see the posts between him and josh explain that only one chip is working and the other is to balance the heat sink and that the unit sent was different from the others)) -- so I leave those complexities for you guys to sort out.
But, coding in my sleep clearly says that the unit he got was for a media purpose (like the one sent to PCmag and Wired) so I do not think he is a customer. There are tons of video and pictures and very detailed blogs on these. Same as kano is not a customer receiving his.

Ok, so they're both customers, but the units they received were not the units they ordered.

Will wait for additional people's units to arrive then...
