CES interview with Josh from Butterfly Labs

You've seen the video, you know that is a Nexus 7 with mining software.
Which I personally find really cool, but part of me sank when they mentioned it was based off BFGminer. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to CGMiner being the best.

You need to rename the Avalon countdown to "How long until the estimated delivery date .....". They won't be ahead of schedule unless they deliver before the estimated delivery date.

They simply took a box, clued Samsung there, inserted few coolers and WOOOOW! ASIC rig!

My msp launchpad is better than that shit, hehe. I probably should do the bonds emission now to collect money. Hehe.

It's not an FPGA dev board, it's a dev board for a low power 16 bit microcontroller. I'd be shocked if it was even running mining software.

Sooo...if it's not FPGA,what is it again,in moron terms  Cheesy

Here's a vid but not much explaining the device,for me to understand  Roll Eyes

@PuertoLibre...

What is your deal with BFL and why do you have such a hard on for them? All you do is complain about how much they scam people and lie to them. But bASIC just did the same thing and you tell Tom you respect him for it. So whats your deal?

First ASIC arrived!

http://youtu.be/e4wFkhafEdA

Hmmm,he only has a USB cable hooked up to it.........it must be a USB 3.0 or it uses less than 400mA's (USB 2.0).

I can't make out model #'s,grrr.............this one is no help,ASC6661.

More and more people at BFL forums get pissed off and demand information. Josh/Inaba always replies in the same way: "Yes, of course I can add a sticky thread. Yes, of course I can add a banner. ... Yes I can!"

Only he doesn't do it. As usual - nothing happens.

I (and most of the folks at BFL forums) seriously don't understand why. Makes no sense at all ...

why? Smiley Try feel in his role. How he has to tell people about the next shipment delay so as not piss off people. This requires a lot of time and focus.
Peptalk time!

You're all just jealous you don't have a Nexus 7 in a plastic box.

Are you also left wondering why they haven't yet asked FPGA customers to start sending their trade-ins yet?

Wink

Or

Are you also asking yourself why they haven't given Yochdog or Kano any notice on when to board the plane?

Or

Are you left wondering why they haven't said anything that leads up to a shipping date in the next 15 days?

Another variant.

1. Make money on fpga sales
2. Research ASIC technology for that money
3. Open pre-orders, pre-payments
4. Receive 100500 chips from China
5. Get 100500 THashes in chips, say goodbye to all
6. Mine to the end of life on Bahamas

Btw, did anyone sign any legit contract for landing them money for months?

You seem to be missing some steps..

7. Everyone leaves Bitcoin
8. The value of a Bitcoin plummets to 0
9. Mining is suddenly 100% worthless

7. Not everyone, only some of the miners, miners who are a minority (but still large) of the bitcoin users. Someone who buys on Silk Road does not care who is mining.
8. Why? Value of a Bitcoin  drops significantly, but not to 0. After a few months back to normal again.
9. Home/amateur mining will be suddenly 100% worthless.

If ASIC comes, it will contribute to the centralization of bitcoin mining. It's just a matter of time. Huge mines GPU probably would not be cost-effective or impossible (very expensive , problematic power consumption, a lot of heat - need a lot of air conditioners, cost of the hall rental, cost of security and service, etc.). Huge ASIC mines is not a problem.
