Nope he will not already have ASIC hardware.
It will be something else with some simulation/estimation of the final product if they aren't guessing.

So is the 27GH/s based on a simulation or just a guess?
(since obviously there is no hardware yet that you are already selling)

Edit: and I should add ... is it HardCopy, Custom ASIC or something else?

I Hope you guys beat butterfly to the punch...... thats all I have to say thank you.

no shit! Thank you very much 

The software (BFGMiner) will be able to point it at any pool you want.

I've only been mining for about 6 months now and I have only used gpu's till now. I know I will have to switch to asics when they arrive and I am trying to decide what direction to go. Sorry if this is a noob question but what pools could I possibly use this device at? Thanx

Thanks for the news cablepair. I will just sleep better knowing there are competition in the future ASICs mining field. Just ordered 2 BFL already so I have to wait 2 months or more to pre-order/order yours.

hummm...and please, dont hate me for what Im about to say, but as a business owner, in your place,  I would throw a shoe box over the wire-ships-board-soldering-mess and show that I have something that can do a 27Ghash/s bellow a shoe box  (or two ).  That could get to your side all the people that is thinking each way to go with ASICs.

...Set aside the panic it will cause to your competitor.

I apologize, the delay here is 100% my fault.  I have been really swamped the last two weeks and dropped the ball.

thanks inaba




I certainly do not have the funding or the resources to release 3 separate mining devices like BFL (sorry no coffee warmers)

that is why we are focusing on something that can compete with their mid-grade unit.

thanks for your interest in BTCFPGA and bASIC. Have a good night

Great work Tom! I am extremely happy to see a BFL competitor and look forward to the months to come

Oohhh that would be wicked!!  You could call it the Cuaresmeno. 

Its awesome that there will be so many options for ASIC mining going forward and one company wont be able to dominate.

Are you going to sell a coffee warmer 

Hey cablepair!  Welcome to the world of haters and doubters, have a cup of coffee and sit back and soak in the distrust and hate!  Bring your sunblock though, you'll get burned otherwise.

WOW!

Tom! I'm blown away by this announcement! I'm extremely tempted to switch my order. But chances are I'll stick with the Quad until I see you're shipping units out and then I'll take you up on your rebate, or if I come up with the $1100 in the meantime, I'll definitely buy one from you.

Can't wait to see the specs. Sounds amazing!

just my 2 bitcents:  the prototype probably looks like a bundle of wires, which if seen would make the device look non-professional and would be bad for marketing..

Lets give em a couple of days to give more info...

will cgminer work with this after release?

@cablepair

Lol, get this part right and you'll not only potentially eat BFL's lunch, you'll also potentially trigger a panic wave of BFL customers wanting to re-hedge their bets. Play nice, everyone!

Also, how are you re-branding the site?

I've been around, and besides the poll you post a few days ago, I havn't seen any "hints". Needless to say, I was quite surprised.

Can the comparisons to BFL just stop? From both sides? Or put it into a different thread? I've never been a fan of the MMQ, but I've always given Tom props where props are due, such as always having consistent shipping times. I just had to read 3 pages of bickering trying to weed thru any information from Tom I could find.

So a few questions!

27GH/s... Is that for multiple chips, or each module? Meaning 4 chips on a quad backplate (like the MMQ) would each get ~6.5GH/s?

it is from multiple chips, exact details of the exact target ASIC technology and the amount of chips on the bASIC unit will be public in the next couple of days

Is there an option (like the MMQ) to order just a board with 1 chip?

At what point will you issue a refund if the order is not fulfilled? End of December? 90 days after an order has been placed?

since we are taking pre-orders right now we will issue a refund at any time

Will these use the same back-plate as the MMQ? Will there be an option to purchase new modules to upgrade an existing MMQ?

it is a completely different pcb setup

You said you don't know what the power draw will be? By "more efficient" than a MMQ, is that total power, or MHs/W? If the latter, this could use > 1.2KW and still me considered "more efficient".

this will be public info in a few days

By the time this is released, will this be supported by BFGMiner?

I have already hired Luke-JR to write the firmware for our MCU chip as well as to make BFGMiner compatible with the bASIC mining unit

Will the initial orders be shipped all at once, or shipped as soon as they are ready on a first-come-first-served basis?

bASIC units will be assembled at the same plant that the ModMiner Quad's are, they will be produced in batches of 30-50 every 5-10 days and shipped out on first come first served basis

Very interesting... very interesting indeed.
