it would be really good to only have jalapenos everywhere,
that would mean small miners will have a chance.

Lemme guess; you're either from Europe, Oz, or you're an American Progressive... Amirite?

Are you implying something here?

some people having 5 x 60GH/s versus 5x 5GH/s.

Only Jalap's exist. The Single SC's and Minirigs are far far far from our reach.

Thanks for the video.
Well done.

I hope the ATX cable comes also with the SC Single.

Yes it is nice. But only for modular ATX power supply ? Should have been male and not female (or the other way around) to be compatible with any atx power supply ...

30 watts? Jesus, that's 6 times the power draw that BFL said the jalapeno was supposed to have

That means that the 50-60GH/s miner from BFL will consume 300w+, which really isn't much different from the Avalon (and well beyond their specified range)

Avalon is up around 600W very different

Awesome!
But only one sample is not a proof that they are not scammers. BFL could produce (or order someone else) a very small amount of chips to lure more people. At least some more reviews are required to belive them.

you don't know anything about pcb and integrated circuit conception and production, do you ? Make one real working product is WAY more expensive than a whole bunch of them ...
The more you make the cheaper it becomes as dev cost are shared among each product.

stop hating. Some people want to discourage people from buying so that difficulty will stay low and less product sold. stop being so selfish.

Enmaku, could you please open up your device, take photos of chips, and perhaps a thermal image is possible?

Why do you look so grumpy in the vid?

Good review and great to see BFL shipping something, even if it is a prerelease version to a very few select users. What we're all looking forward to is BFL shipping an ASIC to people who ordered last year and aren't related to any blog or special interest group.

my beefs with this video:

>check network hashrate to make sure he doesn't accidentally 50% the network
>OH IT'S JUST 5GH IT'S NOT GOING TO MATTER
I find your pool statistics a bit off. Between time you paused the video, your ~500 MH/s miner got 51 shares, and your jalapeno got 717 shares. This implies the jalapeno operates at 14x the speed of your ~500 MH/s miner, or about 6.67 GH
The AC adapter has 0 W idle usage? The kill-a-watt has 1 decimal place accuracy, so the AC adapter is using less than 0.05W idle.
all the sucking up to BFL at the end. You either got a Little Single SC that hashes 6x less than advertised, or a Jalapeno that is 5x bigger than expected, and uses 5x the power

C'mon grue. That means nothing. If you don't know what the submission difficulty is for each device you can't compare them. And even if they're the same, you still can't do a simple comparison like that. Even at D1 the variance in the number of shares submitted by the 50Mhps device will be high. If the expected number of shares was actually 51, then the 95% confidence interval would be 38 to 65 in the same time frame. 32% higher is no big deal.

It's right in the video that the submission difficulty for the ASIC is 1. Also, the hashrates between the two updates (of the ~500 MH/s miner) were fairly close to each other, so the variance is not a relevant issue.

It doesn't matter how close the updates are. Can't escape variance, even at D1. Much as I'd like to.

The way I see it, we are left with exactly two options here:

1. BFL is actually capable of putting out some real product, and slowly but surely they'll start shipping soon.

2. BFL has now taken the scam to a new level where they've written an app that appears to be a mining program, but in actuality it is just telling another set of miners back in Kansas to mine during that time to his pool, therefore giving the appearance of actually mining itself.

That would be pretty deep scamming indeed. I'm starting to waver in my belief now... But it sure would be a good test if we could isolate that box from BFL somehow while testing it.

Or they send out their dev boards they've been working on since last year and while everyone is busy testing and sheering that BFL will finally ship, they quietly close the shop and go underground.
