BFL's is the same mhash for half the non-preorder price of that Enterpoint board. Thats why I say that.
BFL is very expensive to import to Europe due to taxes and stuff, and European power is often very expensive as well. They will probably have buyers aplenty.
... and the OBVIOUS thing that MOST people seem to completely ignore is that when you buy a BFL you have to pay for it months before you get it.
... and the OBVIOUS point there is that during those months you are not mining - whereas if you buy another device and mine you are effectively reducing the comparative cost price of the other device ... and we are not talking a small amount of dollars either.


True.  However, for my expenses the ROI is at least 1 month shorter with BFL - including opportunity cost.

Give me an open source option that can compete head to head with BFL and I will be very happy about purchasing it.

Hope people start putting money toward OpenBitASIC.  If they can do what they are saying it'd be one hell of an open solution.

will this work with p2pool software (longpoll timing problem)?  This is still a problem with the BFL singles from what I've read.
No idea why this question has been asked here more than once.
It is a problem ONLY with BFL singles (the BFL designers were BTC noobs ... and still seem to be)
It is not a problem with Icarus and obviously it will not be a problem with Lancelot

I've updated all the numbers on whos most profitable:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.887606

ATM Lancelot is the most cost effective after BFL's huge lead.
Can you add this one:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cairnsmore1-quad-xc6slx150-board-78239

Added. It just barely beats the BFL single, but doesn't beat BFL minirigs.

you might also want to add that the price of that board will be double or $1280 from what I can tell, if its not ordered before June.

I'm not sure where the $1280 price comes from, but they do say they are producing at cost (no profit margin) - they are only doing that for two months.

The 50% increase will take it to $960, and would allow for some profit.

and if Enterpoint can deliver their product at the pace that ZTEX does with a price between ZTEX and BFL then I am sure they'll sell a bundle of their boards. It'll be even better if the hashing rate per Spartan 6 core increases with future development on that bitstream. To top it off, 1 year warranty. I'm happy  Smiley

50% increase = double?

Heh, if it is, then why are they bothering to produce it, no one will buy it.

Why do you say that?

Ztex's quad is $1359 and people are buying it.....

Do you still plan on making the Lancelot bitstream backwards compatible with Icarus? I didn't see a mention about that in your OP and thought to ask.
