Maybe 45nm? That could be why Josh sees these as penultimate without room for much improvement.

There is ALWAYS room for improvement, if not we would all still be living in caves eating rocks.

Lol - Does this qualify as a "Booty call"?  Smiley

Damn, my plans to collect the booty are foiled! 

45%... do I hear 40%?

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
Inaba, you cannot get paid for that, because...

Both of these bounties become null and void if BFL releases the figures themselves.

It was very craftily formulated to not let you earn a single satoshi. Wink

He is Inaba, not BFL_Josh.

If Inaba tells me the figures but not in public then I can collect.  I'll only charge 50%, how about it Inaba?

I'll undercut at 45% Cheesy




Nice .....LOL

I believe my prediction of 65nm will be shown to be right Smiley

Smart thinking.
I believe you are right about this, after reading BFL posts.
45 is still too expensive, even AMD is stuck at 32.
Only Intel is capable to do 22 at the moment

Probably 90nm. Seems to be the most cost effective.

Prepare for the improbable.  Smiley
sorry dude, i invested with your competitor(who is using 90nm apparently)... will be interested to see what you've got 'under the hood' either way.

May the force be with you.

I will offer a 20BTC bounty to anybody who posts a measurement of the size of the die used in BFL's "SC" devices.  I'm assuming they all use the same chip.  It's really easy to get the die measurement from a broken device -- just grind off the plastic/ceramic top using a dremel and pull out a ruler.  I will be happy to escrow the bounty with a well-known forum member if you can present credible evidence that you're serious about this -- that way you can be sure you'll get paid before you totally wreck your already-broken device.

I need this figure in order to compute the η-factor for their product.

I will also offer a 20BTC bounty for knowledge of which process node BFL is using.  However, I caution in advance that it's not as easy to be 100% certain about that -- you can't just measure it with a ruler -- so claiming this bounty will be more difficult and will involve more verification (which might not even be possible) than the raw die-size bounty.  Please post here if you have any questions about what would be sufficient to claim this bounty; I don't want any hard feelings.

I have offered bounties like this in the past and have a history of paying promptly.

Both of these bounties become null and void if BFL releases the figures themselves.

Hi Elden, the node and method are detailed in the upcoming issue of bitcoin magazine.   (Issue #4).

It'd be funny if BFL won this bounty.

LOL Josh mails him a Jalapeno.

14nm? That'd be pretty improbable. Wink

Wouldn't that be nice...
