I've been away for a bit (and have no pre-orders, lol) so when exactly is the new alleged release date for BFL products? I'll laugh if they get beat by another company like the one making Avalons. I figured from the beginning they were lying about the date just to get the most pre-orders since it's such a time sensitive thing.

They announced a 30-day delay around the middle of December. ATM, they should get their chips around Jan 15th.

Just like they SHOULD have shipped in October, November, and December...lol

where's the official bet?

The only offer so far available for X.IDIFF.JUN future on MPEx indicates that seller expects difficulty to end up well below 77 million. Whoever really believes it's going to be over 100 million, go there and buy it. If you disagree, also go there and sell Wink

This is mostly for my own amusement. Bump this to tell me how wrong or right I was when summer arrives Grin

I agree based on BFL saying that their 1st batch of asics is 100k chips:

my extremely elaborate estimate puts it at 20.344x and it was quite conservative so your 33x is probably about right.

Yes, somewhere between 20x and 33x is the real value.

Though I'm not sure I can picture reaching your "end of November" max numbers, I'm 100% with you on the minimums.

A single re-target never changes the target by more than a factor of 4 either way to prevent large changes in difficulty.

The question now is how many days it will take before the next difficulty change.

The code that enforces this is located here.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/d62a1947be5350ed60066ccacc7aba43bbdf48fb/src/main.cpp#L857

good call:

if (nActualTimespan < nTargetTimespan/4)
nActualTimespan = nTargetTimespan/4;
if (nActualTimespan > nTargetTimespan*4)
nActualTimespan = nTargetTimespan*4;

1) ASIC devices not only meet their predicted specs, but some exceed them
2) ASIC devices become extremely cheap
3) USD/BTC values skyrocket to new highs and stabilize up there

IMHO : ASIC already seems to be exceeding spec.. and are cheap, maybe become extremely cheap this winter..

Haha I know, right. The day I posted that was the day BFL had me cross off #1 on that list with their updated specs Grin
