Someone quickly fire off an email to ask if they can 100% transfer their [funded] orders to a shiny new 600Gh/s system?

If not, fire away on the lawsuits cause it does none of their customers any good. LOL

They will take out any 600GH/s orders along with it.

When will the deliver though.... in about two or three weeks?

Nah more likely 2015.
This is the funny thing, if you buy now, you have to assume that BFL will be around to actually deliver it.

This is either a nasty strategy by BFL to keep themselves from being sued to kingdom come, or a strategy to fill the coffers with blind sheeple who can't help but gamble.

It is like a bar that is on fire, will you still host the next guest inside it as the place burns to the ground?

LMAO  Cheesy  The shoutbox @ BFL is going crazy  Cheesy  UPGRADE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!  BFL WILL DELIVER ON TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just WOW  Shocked
I must go see this insanity.
Not me.  

Here, I've just watched the alternative ending to The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, where Angel Eyes wins the Mexican standoff.

There, it'd be like watching a National Geographic Special on the lemmings all plunging over the cliff.  Even though it's genetically encoded for them to do so, it's too sad.

Keep the room at 72F for all you want.  The room being 72F doesn't mean the GPU will be cooled properly.  It is a simple experiment.  Try it.  Why do you think open rigs became the "standard".  You think people just like having extenders and cables everywhere?  You think it never occurred to anyone to just close the case with 3, 4, 6 GPU inside?  

22°C ?
You mad bro O_o'

17-18°c (63F-64F) is the standard.no more.

Immaterial.  Like I said try it.  Crank your room AC down to 60F/15C for all I care and try to cool 3x 7970s maxed out inside a sealed 4U chassis or tower case (w/ only front fans).  Pretty simple experiment.  

Now remember the wattage for two of these "mining cards" would be more than 3x 7970s and that is if the specs are right.  What if they are 10% or 20% higher.  That is just two cards.  Kinda undermines the beauty of PCIe if you are limited (due to cooling) to 1 or maybe 2 (but results with 7970s would suggest otherwise) cards per chassis.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Will be interesteing how many fishes they catch on this

 Hopefully approaching absolute zero if the experience of these forums has anything to say about it.
Oh, no.

BFL may have just pulled off with outrageous, improbable audacity.  Audacity that is irresistible to many, many, greedy little idiots desperate for high hash power.

Nice job.  And are you even going to bother shipping the chips, now, BFL?  I doubt it; why do so, when the new powerhouse is just weeks away?  Force the upgrade of those (50% paid) orders to the 28's, with just a little, or even deferred to shipping, co-pay.  Sorry about your boards, BFL board designer guys.  You're about to be Avaloned.

Creeps me out, but it's only in storybooks that the bad guys always lose.  

No more outrageous than Sonny Vleisides collecting $6,000 per investor with his Laissez Faire City scheme. The original plan was to build a city. After millions were collected, the plans where changed to...wait for it...an internet city. This would be funny if it weren't true. And don't even get me started as to which Bitcoiner conducted the audit during the liquidation proceedings.

I'll tell you what: I'm only an inch away from believing that this entire Bitcoin thing is a scam with BFL at the heart of it. This saddens me to no fuckin' end.

they could have at least used an MSI Twin Frozr Card with believable  cooling capabilities  Undecided





This thread is not helping me with my Bitcointalk addiction.



its fun and keeps me from distracted from trying to tweak a few extra hashes out of cgminer

PCI is just perfect (from the average joe with some mobo to datacenter guys with cabinet)
No more exotic stuff.

How is a USB connection "exotic stuff"?

Or stuff that plugs in and runs independent?

At least with independent units you have a web GUI that you can access from anywhere.

With cgminer i have a WebGui...i access it anywhere...
For "independent" running stuff...install different cgminer environment...easy no?  Grin

That is interesting. His standard for card temperature is lower than the ambient air temperature which cools his cards.
Clearly, we can harness his forum account for faster than light travel because his account is not subject to the laws of physics.

"BFL exec Sonny Vleisides informs me that customers still waiting for 65nm ASICs will likely be allowed to switch queues for the newer product. Also, since the 65nm chip is out of the R&D phase and it will be some time before the new 28nm chip enters the assembly and shipping phase it seems unlikely that this new product will have a meaningful effect on the old."

If Attorneys General don't stop scams, there's really only one way to do it.  That's for someone to advocate ("show and tell", step-by-step) for (American) victims in individual filings of Small Claims Court actions in their local courts.  

The thing about Small Claims actions is it costs the other (corporate) party legal fees to defend.  If they fail to appear, summary judgment is typically awarded.  When there is a cascade of judgments filed against a corporation, often even the most comatose or co-opted AG has to act.

I'd help if I could, but I can't.  So: just sayin...

I would buy it today if it was ready to ship product.

But realistically they will deliver it late 2014 (early 2015 if more problems) and at that time this product is simply overpriced.
