I did the math:
BTCFPGA bASIC $1069.99 ÷ 27GH = $39.63/GH
1 year warranty
projected to ship in November/December of 2012
BFL Single 'SC' $1299.00 ÷ 40GH = $32.48/GH
6 month warranty
projected to ship in October of 2012
but yes, competition is good.
Looking good cablepair
Price is spot on with BFL,or close enough for me & the warranty is great
Now will he be offering the buyback (trade in) like BFL does??? He was talking about it,If so,then a really great deal for his old customer base too
BFL can more easily account for their trade-in value since it apparently has the higher perforamnce Stratix III chips. And maybe they will finally use those to develop the other products that they seem to imply existing, but yet don't seem to exist going by the dead links on their website:
e.g.
http://www.butterflylabs.com/drivers/1.Computational research
2.Medical imaging
3.Packet integrity verification
4.Generic fingerprinting engine
If they don't exist, they should remove those link, imo. It feels like an attempt to create a better impression of the company than actual accomplishments.
Anyway, BFL Singles doubled in price from FPGA to ASIC. This bASIC 27GH product will be the same price as the older FPGA product. But still the price is higher than BFL pound for pound.
