i hear ya. i'm in the midst of talking ot family about getting some money for buying FPGA's, then along comes THIS. argh.

least my mining's still chugging along... only 350 mhash, but hey, it's a bit.

Yeah, but you'd have the option of trading it in for some credit on the asics... I don't have that option. Tongue

-- Smoov

if i were buying BFL FPGA's, yea. wasn't gonna. the modminer quad (especially running eldentyrell's bitstream) and the lancelot from ngzhang are the most interesting, personally. $1 for 1 mhash. Cheesy

I was going to cash out a few of my coins, to pick up another low-hash gpu, which would double what my current 2 gpu's are doing (total ~160MH/s)... but, if the price point on that small 3.5GH/s one holds, I'm going to hold out and get that instead.

That single they're currently selling, was priced too high for what little I've been able to mine, but that 3.5 asic? ... yeah, I got enough for that.

I'm hoping that it isn't just hype. If it turns out that it was, I'm gonna be pretty pissed.

-- Smoov

LOL, if you have any business sense you would know by time the SC single is available for "PREORDER" your GPU would have been paid off

Perhaps you should look closer at the hash rate I said.

Right now, I can afford the gpu I was thinking of getting...
Right now, I can't afford the asic.

If I buy the gpu, by the time the asic becomes available for pre-order, I won't be able to afford it.
If I don't buy the gpu, by then, I will be able to.

If you wanna laugh at my hash rate, go right ahead, you won't be the first, and I expect it.

But damn, at least do your math. Tongue

thats the biggest problem right now, as i see it. too many variables in the equation, too many unanswered questions. BFL and ASIC's in general... there are so many ways things COULD go, that we can't predict where they will with any certainty. my initial intent to buy some lancelots or other FPGA's may be evaproating until this all shakes out. i dun know.

For all we know, it could just be some troll pretending to be with BFL, trying to keep people from buying more hash power before the halving, to keep the difficulty from rising even faster while it is still at 50btc...

Can anyone confirm that guy is even legit at this point? Cuz... why would they keep making announcements on a forum that isn't even theirs, yet, not put corroborating info up on their own web site, saying the same things?

-- Smoov

edit: someone posted a paste that they're looking for someone to handle public relations... maybe that position, is that guy's position that just became open, and he's disgruntled, trying to cause problems for them by making promises they aren't endorsing? (yeah, yeah, I know, but this kind of stuff happens)

like... ~US$150-160? for 3.5GH/s!!? and taking in trade-ins for credit of the asics? where is their profit margin supposed to be?

I just realized these mug warmers will be a great gift for family and friends, along with an easy to use wallet like the one at blockchain.info.

screw that! "oh yea, it's a usb mug warmer. cool, huh?" *directs al lthe mining to MY wallet*

Does the coffee warmer have to actually be a coffee warmer?

Or, are you just calling it that cuz of its size, and it isn't really a coffee warmer... (and will it be capable of being powered by the wall instead of the USB? I really don't wanna unplug my USB toaster...)

I read that already... doesn't actually answer my questions... much in the same way half of what they said doesn't actually answer other people's questions...

I'd rather have them actually answer my questions, than be directed to a post I already read before... thanks for trying tho.

Not really.

But that has nothing to do with the fact that bulanula is an asshat.

Who is that? His is profile says Scammer and he has all xxx's instead of coins??

Smart1985 overpaid Bulanula by 22.5 BTC for something, and Bulanula refuses to give the money back. That's why he got the "scammer tag" (X's instead of coins, and a label saying 'SCAMMER'.)

And this is why Theymos won't let me be an admin. I would have banned him and requested that Smart1985 file a police report and send me a copy.

IMO I think Theymos doesn't want to make anybody else an admin (other than him and Gavin), not just you.

Back on topic: What do you think BFL's trustworthiness is regarding shipment dates? Do you really think they are going to ship "three months earlier" than what "most people" think (read: October)?

What most 'people' think, by most people I will refer to those more familiar with the steps involved in such a project, are saying first to third quarter 2013. By a few months earlier I would put their pre order announcement some time in Oct/Nov and first unit shipped maybe some time Feb 2013.....

Sorry I forgot to quote that:

Quote from: BFL-Engineer on June 18, 2012, 09:47:55 AM

Timeline will be available as soon as we start taking preorders. And I must say that it will come out at least 3 months earlier
than what most people have estimated. Hope that helps.

Does the trade in for value apply if we acquire singles on the used market? EG if I own 20 singles bought from another miner, will I get $599 each in trade-in?

YES !

Please ignore all of Bulanula's posts.

He is correct though...

I do realize that, but over 70% of the time he is trolling, I just wanted to say that.

Who is that? His is profile says Scammer and he has all xxx's instead of coins??

Why the hate DiabloD3 ? For the record, I never use your crappy software ... I use cgminer like a man !

Also, funny none of you mention I was going to pay the guy back initially but he did not wait and just started attacking me before I even had chance to respond. I offered service ( what he paid for ) instead of refund after the attack and DDOS on me. Instead of service he wanted refund and since I would not give it to him after he attack me he resort to giving me scammer tag on here by bribing admins because he was VIP big boss dude.

Also, tons of good deals in the community and earlier here than most of you May 10 2011 ... but whatever.

Anyway, no need to derail the thread with my scammy Nigerian ways so carry on !

Feel free to file 1 million police reports because nobody cares about WOW gold and he gave me the coins himself ( I did not force him to send anything ).
