i dont know where the 5000 Chips are gone but BFL doesnt have any more ...
so now i can hope they get more than 1000 ( 1 wafer ) thursday -.-
Any the mystery of the 5000 missing chips is not even explained at all...
other than "oh we dont have the chips anymore..blah blah blah"
Did they ever really have those chips? If they did are they syphoning them off to an undisclosed location to mine secretly adding a small amount of hash to the network over time?
Wouldn't surprise me if BFL resorted to this to get enough capital to fulfill all preorders lol.....scummy fucks
And they need now double pieces of chip`s for one Unit -.-
If the 5000 chips went bust then it means that BFL is approaching somewhere around 25%~30% failure rate for their 100 wafer batch.
i've seen estimates up to 10-20k BFL single orders but I think nobody knows how much hashing power they will add to the network or if they will be wafer limited or not
