This is an insurance product that will pay out either in the situation that BFL ships 25 units, or that they do not ship 25 units, depending on which insurance you buy.

Great. So if it wasn't bad enough that some moderators seemingly have no sense of objectivity, we now have a moderator endorsing and organizing gambling ?

Diablo, it's time to step down. Your jimmies are way too rustled over all this BFL stuff.

Why did you post that you are now waiting for 25 BFl SC Units ?

I didn't.

Oh, that reminds me...
I wonder if they'd be willing, in addition to the coffee warmer, make one with 2 or 4 asics in it, that doubles as a hot-air popcorn popper... .. .

Or I'm sure a ceramic-coated, PFC-free, metal pan would act as a pretty tremendous heat-sink for use as an oil-based popping solution.

Either way, I think you are onto something with ASIC-based popcorn makers.

I would buy at least one Wink

I'm sure the guys over at /r/subredditdrama would buy them in droves.

Uh, or they changed their plans from using fpga sometime between announcing SC and announcing future ASIC products? If I'm remembering right the mini-rig is a bit shrunken from initial announcement specs, suggesting that trying to get more BFL fpga units into a reasonably managed single unit would be quite a difficult engineering challenge.

Edit: Looks like my memory was correct, originally they announced 50GH/s at ~$25000. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.638003

Was it really known back then that the 'super computer' product was in fact a future asic or did that happen later?

Nothing specific was mentioned about it other than the name. From the inception of the website, there were always 3 products showing.

Yeah, that is what I remember as well. I guess I just assumed that the super computer was just a bigger rig-box Wink

for more money, heh.

Originally it may have been that, but times change...

The point it they've been working on the asic for a year or more.

Where's the proof?

Huh? What you need proof for?

Or do you take issue with 'working on'.

I'll change that for 'planning'. Happier now?

IIRC BFL started advertising their SC products (without revealing they were ASICs) at least 6 months ago. Assuming they have been working on them for that long, they will have put 10 months of work in them by October.

It was WAY before that.

Their 'Super Computer' products were advertised right next to the single and rig-box from the outset.

d3 wants to be trusted with money... i would rather trust bfl, and i would rather fuck myself with a cactus than trust bfl...

That can be tough to reach and get any leverage. You may need some help with that. I have just the thing.

But yes, donating to the neo-nazi youth is worse than giving to bfl or asking me to help you cram a cactus in your daddy pleaser.
