Topic: BFL 5 GH/s Miner Demo - page 5. (Read 10013 times)

Just couple posts prior i showed that the actual draw of the device is more like in the 22.6W range. Well, it's actually probably a lot less, i did not count in the PSU idle power.
36W at outlet for a 1250W Corsair ZX PSU which is 80+ Gold, running at practically idle.

Hope they ship soon, just wish they made them smaller

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

Not in anyway supporting the debacle that is the BFL product line development but in the USA a minir rig at 8kw would be doable on residential circuitry.

50amp x 240 volts =12000 x .8(maximum load NEC is 80%)=9600 watts

Now I know a lot of people do not have a 50 amp 240v line in their house but it is not rare by any means.Some electric ranges use it.Also it is not that big of a deal to run that circuit,however it could get expensive if the run is really long.

Most modern houses in the US can handle 20kw easily and most apartments.Even a Super LOW 100 amp service at could handle it.

On another note man.....BFL will never be able to get pre-order financing again.(unless I seriously underestimate the fanboys)who would ever believe anything they hav to say about Dates,Performance, and for that matter aesthetics.

Buddy of mine jumped on the BFL wagon in July,so around December when shipping was "just around the corner" he built a really nice walnut and cherry rack/hideaway shelf to appease the wife.She said if shes gonna a bunch of black boxes in her house they better be able to be hidden when guests arrive.But guess what..............the new jalapenos wont fit....and since his singles will probably be 2 little singles plus 2 LARGER jalapenos to hit the 60/gh mark his whole design is worthless.

Maybe i will buy it form him cheap for my DIY avalon chip based Modules..man BFL must hate their customers

close to shipping is not enought when u've be waiting all this time, they should be shipping from last year, anyway, really hope they ship only 5 gh's for the first 30000000 months

This 1 chip thing is a Jalapeno

Well... I think BFL is actually getting close to shipping their 1-chip Single (at least... that is what it looks like to me).

if u got a pre-order for a 5 gh's we can trade about it

That much waiting time for a coffee warmer and i will still drink my coffee cold?
  I want my money back

Lol, yeah. I'd take mine in a mini rig case. It might even fit two or three... ;-)

the good thing with the abandoned minirigs is that there will be available cases for single and mini single assembly.

The guy is obviously just trolling, you can tell by the repeated misquote of the 32watt BFL power consumption, best to ignore him. There is half the guts of a laptop in the Avalon, like TP-LINK, spartan 6, Ethernet, USB, FTDI, WiFi, there is no reason why you can't use similar bit's to control the BFL unit, nobody says you need a laptop!

Even though the Avalon is old 110nm technology, if someone put up an online shop the Avalon ASIC powered boards for sale when the chips have shipped and Avalon has published their PCB design, I will buy some for the heck of it. Same goes, if I hear factual reports of the BFL units being delivered and reviewed I will order one or two. Both technologies are great compared to GPU mining.

if u got a nuclear power station at home it wont be a big problem

Exactly, and BFL said on their latest version of website that it's out of stock... Another lie...

Someone calculated it to aprox. 8 kw/h.....

looks like 3.5kw wont be enough to run 1500 gh's, at least i hope so

minirig product design is apparently abandoned, 3.5kw per one household switch is max.

the big problem that came out these days is da power supply.
5 gh's is using about 36w, how much will be using a 1500 gh's?
a normal power supply wont be able to keep it workin, you'll need to set up a huge supply for that stuff

Well, when it will ship, we would already have USB 5.0, which has power output 50W 

What about the statement that this coffee warmer would run from USB Power?....
