What do you guys make of FC's latest post:

Update

The chips of the second batch will be ready in smaller packages during this week and the next one. We are preparing for the (larger) mass production of USB devices and blades, as well as necessary wholesale price adjustments.

The hashrate drop this week was caused by an internal troubleshooting which took about 10h, followed by a series of bad luck (which happened to involve the whole network).

Hash rate going up, 2nd batch coming online next week, and bigger production of devices.  This looks good for next week of AM, maybe hit 3.5?

Maybe a low of 3.5/share  Wink

i think they were just moving blades into new server racks enclosures. It is huge job and slow, not like trowing vacuum cleaners into server rack. you need to switch blades off, disconnect cables, remove blades from old enclosure and so on. Even if you will work 24h a day it will take A LOT of time. that is why hashing rate went down for a while.

I believe you are right. What it looks like to me is Friendcat & co are replacing current gen1 hashing hardware with the newer blades.

The blades are temporarily out of stock.

Please wait till late June to early July for newer blades with improved design and better price.

So here is a theoretical question, what is the effect of DDoS attack on ASICminer?  Can a competitive mining company DDoS attack AM?

In theory, yes, because their bitcoind needs to talk to the rest of the network. But since it's not a public node, it's not as easy as just hitting btc.asicminer.com.

Bitminter was DDoS attacked recently.  It's hash rate went from 8 TH/s to 3 TH/s.

Friedcat is such a boss!

and he weeded out some of the panic sellers by not responding during their insecurity with his leadership, technically. Yes transparency can be nice, but if you go through the history, you don't really need to question The Friedcat.

I think it's safe to assume that the recent 'black-outs' were in fact upgrades.


We will see another price increase tomorrow.  Wink

Actually it is not unusual for China to require factories to shut down 1-2 days per week during periods of peak power demand.  And that includes the special economic zones.

This has even happened in the west. For 10 weeks in the 70s, Britain had a Three-Day_Week.

Yes it did. And i can still smell the uncollected rubbish on my school journey, and remember the frustrating electrical power cuts. It helped put Thacher into No.10

Different crisis. There were quite the fashion that decade, it's easy to confuse them. Smiley

Oh indeed...the fashion was confusing also!
