Why do we have 3 threads going on about this at once.... One is plenty

Obviously, no it ain't, for from my calculations, 780+ orders have been placed since the beginning of Monarch's announcement. Unless a high percentage of those orders are from people, like myself, that didn't follow through with the purchase to simply obtain order numbers, I say BFL did okay for themselves over the weekend.

Bravo, you cocksuckers! Bravo!

no way there are that many idiots still around

The only people I know that have placed orders for a Monarch so far, are the ones that intend to sell their place in the queue for a profit. I guess that's better ROI than actually mining. Sounds like cryptobounty!

thats a huge risk to take if you go sell your pre order on eBay, as far as a potential chargeback or negative feedback is concerned. As a seller you still have to hope like hell they deliver product, its like you have to provide the excuses to your customer instead of BFL doing it as they should.

The queue positions are not sold on eBay. They are sold right here on this forum. See what I'm getting at?

I have a feeling that that's exactly what some of the investors of BFL did over the weekend. I'm willing to bet that they didn't even have to pony up one satoshi to get their slimy hands on a few order numbers. They'll even be the first to offer up the queue positions for sale.

This place is starting to look like e-Gold or one of those HYIP sites.

This is so mother fuckin' nuts! You guys can't believe how fuckin' pisssed I am right now because I'm opting to not increase the font size.

Madness! Utter Madness!

My 10 PH/S prediction for the middle of next year might come up short now... Lets call it 20 PH/S in the next 12 months.

I'm half surprised Josh as int03h hasn't appeared in this thread yet to run interference for all the negative community reception to Butterfly Labs' latest endeavor.

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...

I like how they won't let you upgrade to Monarchs with a negative balance a.k.a. refund. Only positive balances allowed a.k.a. pay us.

There is no money leaving that black hole. Cheesy

600 GH/S will be the entry level amount of processing power serious miners have in a year or so. I don't fear someone having too much hash power... but I do fear that most people wont be able to have enough. BTC is about to exit being a hobby.

What i dont get is why none of you guys have a problem with a 600 gh device. If they do manage to produce a blade with that amount of computing power seems like it would be easy to gain control of the network. I dont like all that processing power in one place.

I am just a lowly trader around here and dont have much interest in the tech side of things (thought I do have 15 gpus mining LTC.) , but shit seems way to centralized for my liking.

600GH/s is not much, you are out of touch with the growth rate that's all.
