so, yifu...how much for an additional module?

Not really hard to calculate..
66gh/s for 3 modules

22 gh/s per module.

Prolly about $350 per module.

Be 'bout tree-fiddy.

To the bitcoinbet or whatever it's called.  Grin

Speaking of which, surely someone's collecting on a bet related to Avalon's delivery of ASICs right now.

yeah; I lost:
http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1016
Butterfly Labs will start shipping ASIC miners before Avalon

http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1003
No ASIC Manufacturer will deliver an ASIC bitcoin miner to a customer before February 1st, 2013

http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1032
ASICminer will be the first company to prove they have mined with ASICs.

http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=1109
Avalon will be the first to ship an ASIC to customer

Don't do drugs kids. Congrats Avalon.

While the first customers might get ASIC its doubtful later customers will make any profit from them. It will be a race to the bottom imho

At last, so at least the goddamn conspiracy noise will drop to only the most paranoid who don't believe any amount of evidence.

Perhaps I can still buy a 1st run box from a disbeliever...

Wait... The Earth is cooling?!

Sure it is. The atmosphere may not atm due to human initiated climate changes, but the earth itself is cooling. You know, from former fireball to a crust we call land and so on. Now the real question is what will happen first. Will the earth's core cool down completely leaving a lifeless cold husk floating through space or will the sun go giant first burning the inner planets to ashes? My money is on the former.

The latter.

Sounds like a good topic for one of those Bitcoin bets sites.  Probably easier to verify than most of the retarded bets I've seen attempted.

Jesus it's hard to stay on topic.  Go Avalon.  That better?  Maybe if Avalon ASICs are so much more efficient that GPU or ASIC it will tip the balance in terms of global energy conversion and set a course for the destiny of planet earth?

With anywhere from 58 petawatts to 180 petawatts of sunshine, I'd say it is a sunny day everyday, for the next 5 billion years.

Then a red giant will turn earth crispy.

BTW. http://launch.avalon-asics.com/ was updated. They seem to indeed be offering a 4th board as an upgrade option, meaning the thing right now likely pulls way less than 400W.
Or that the PSU is capable of handling 533W.   Wink

I AM curious to see power figures though...!

Why?  I mean, if you (or anyone) gets any BFL stuff sometime before the earth stops cooling, it'll be to late.
Why am I curious?  I don't know, I just am.

Somewhat, as I understand things, and I think this is the scientific consensus.  The loss rate is not quite made up for by solar flux, radioactive decay, and the like.

Note that this has nothing to do with atmospheric warming or what people commonly refer to as 'global warming.'  Nor does it have anything to do with Avalon for that matter.  It's just been an amusing expression (to some) since about the time that Lord Kelvin was kicking.
