Update
Online Hashes (theoretical): 24TH/s. Struggling at current 22TH/s in average due to maintenance and troubleshooting (mainly PSU and internal LAN hardware). We are fixing some bottleneck while bringing new hashpower online at the same time.
Shipped Blades: 278. The sales keeps a slow but steady pace.
Shipped USB Sticks: 530. A lot more in the following week.
We are using the same transaction policy of the official Bitcoin client's default behavior.
We also finalized the decision on making the next-gen (65/55nm) chips also fit in a USB powered device so that we could make Block Erupter USB II possible, instead of integrating too many cores into one big chip.
So next week dividend, theoretically and at a sustained hashrate could go like this:
Mining: �~1030
BTC/day x 7 days = 7,210
BTCUSB sales: 9470 x 1.99
BTC = 18,845
BTCBlade sales: let's estimate a conservative 100 x 50
BTC = 5,000
BTC31055
BTC / 400,000 shares = 0.077635
BTC/share
Please feel free to correct my expectations if I'm being too optimistic.
While that would be absolutely fantastic, I'd like to propose a more conservative estimate regarding sales (I agree with your mining estimate so I'll keep your numbers):
Mining: �~1030BTC/day x 7 days = 7,210BTC
USB sales: 4000 x 1.99BTC = 7,960BTC
Blade sales: 50 x 50BTC = 2,500BTC
17670BTC / 400,000 shares = 0.044175BTC/share
The reason I cut the blade sales in half was that as difficulty rises and price stays the same I would expect demand to drop. As for the USBs, while I've heard rumors that all 10k were already sold (would love to get confirmation on this) the group buys visible on the forum would suggest a much smaller number closer to 1,000-2,000 usbs though I fully expect there to be some bulk buys by resellers that were not made public which is why I bumped my estimate from 1-2k to ~4k usb miners.
If anyone has any corrections or know about something that I might've missed, please let me know. All that being said, a 0.044 dividend is nothing to sneeze at and I am very excited for next Wednesday!
ButterFly Labs will have to order somewhere big quantities of asic chips since their design isn't working.
Anytime somebody mentions problems with their chips, BFL_Josh shows up repeating himself continuously that chips are working perfectly well and the problem is elsewhere.
This elsewhere is taking half a year now, so I assume it must be in a chip design itself.
