I thought the jalapenos suck and in reallity are the ones that are going to make some money
Now that I have seen the video I am actually very confident - I will be leaving my pre order as it is and won't look for a refund
5ghs oc´able to 7,5ghs approx 45W . sounds good
That thing does not work. Josh kind of admitted it. It might be why they haven't shipped. I mean, think about it. Calculate what ridiculous power this is going to eat.
He said something about 195 watts at a 50gh/s Single. If you multiplay that by 30, you get about 6000 watts.
I don't want to scare anyone's ass off, but at this point, this blows almost anyone's electricity supply. We have worked in these levels a lot at LAN parties. Try getting 8 enthusiasts in your house, have a big TV, your refrigerator and then switch all the enthusiast computers to maximum graphics. at least in my place, my breaker's don't like that at all
Then think about the HEAT of 6000 watts. I mean, if you put water cooling on this, you might be able to heat 3-4 flats with it.
Nope, I tell you, that Minirig is what does not work out. The rest is fine, you can deal with 50 watts on a Jalapeno or even 200wats on a Single. But 6000 on the minirig, fuck it. No way. That thing should be used as whirlpool heater. If it works, it might buy the whirlpool anyway.
All you need to do is hook it up to a stirling engine and baam you get some of that wattage back
If this actually happens I'll eat my shoe.
What is 'BFL', and what are 'Jalapenos' (other than peppers)?
Haha, I found this funny.
BFL is ButterFly Labs. One of the major producers in the ASIC market (used to produce FPGA's). The Jalapeno is one of their ASIC miners that they are selling, which being one of their smaller devices, they promised to start shipping first, possibly this week apparently.
Doubtful that they will be shipped out in any real capacity. Have a feeling that Bitfounder will more consistently ship chips out than BFL.
i dont know if jalapenos will work but if u got a pre-order, better if u start looking for a power supply 
I hope they will ship it with the power supply. When I preordered almost a year ago it would run from the USB buss and it would be half the size. 
that's what i thought 2, now it got 25-50 designabout power supply, lol
if they ship 5 gh's soon i would be happy with or without power supply, i just need that thing makin some money as soon as possible.
Yeah, you will make tons of money with a Jalapeno, you will be able to buy peanuts almost once a week.

Anybody know what power improvements are being claimed in the "new" boards?
He said down to 120w, but...

6kw is not a huge amount - a Cisco 6500 series switch can utilise 2 * 3kw power supplies
Most people have 30 amp ring circuits in their houses anyway - electric showers are often around 10kw.
It would produce quite a bit of heat though!

Great. Hope they start shipping very soon, it cost bfl users serious amount of bitcoins every day they delay mass production+shipping

btl is not new in making mining hardwares, there are some vids about jalapenos works, just check btl fb profile. I hope they will ship it with the power supply. When I preordered almost a year ago it would run from the USB buss and it would be half the size.
