Topic: Is anyone actually going to buy the 600 GH/s BFL unit after their customer serv? - page 3. (Read 15255 times)

i ordered a 60 gh/s from them and i never will give them a single cent again.

BFL wont ever get anymore business from me. Paid 50 BTC for miners. Had they been delivered on time, would have made that back + small profit.
Now will be lucky to make 10BTC back.

I'll buy some too, if they are free..

I'll buy some...















When they offer them retail. I'm not putting down any cash without product.

all, in I mean ALL, ASIC manufacturers have been playing to stupid suckers that can't add 1+1. Look at ASICMINER and how many millions they made when they were selling the BE at 3BTC when the manufacturing cost is at most .01 BTC. They simply called this community a bunch of stupid greeders and continue to call when they are selling them at .07BTC knowing very well that no one will ever recover the money they invested on the BE and will have to  use a BE as replacement for toilette paper. 

+1

Also, "BFL's customer service" is an oxymoron.

They forgot to mention, the year in question is 2015.

These guys are clowns, bragging about production capacity with a huge backlog of last-gen products. You would have to be a complete sucker to order anything from them.

I still don't even have my Jalepeno.  You get to screw a single customer once, then that customer will never do business with you again.  If you screw everyone once at the same time, then you best cash out your business because its over.

BFL is dead to me.

If I were in your position, I would too!

I bought, simply because my current order at BFL will mine almost nothing when it delivered, so why not just grab another piece of toy with already paid money

I hope you're referring to the monarch PCB concept that is floating around on the net, being two ASICs on one board, otherwise no, sorry not a 690.

Keep in mind that KnC is using a in house(joint venture) ASIC design by ORSoC, and has more to it that it must power(and pay for) as a whole.  Whereas the Hashfast and the upcoming BFL monarch will be using the "Golden Nounce (GD)" ASIC Which is a newer design projected at:

Chip Specifications:

28nm ASIC
Hashing Output: 400 Gigahash/s at nominal clock speed
Power Consumption: less than 0.65 W/GH/s
Designed to be underclocked for greater efficiency, and overclocked for greater performance.

With that said, and BFL claiming for 600GHs (2 chip board), they're underclocking these ASICs a little to achieve the desired hash rate/thermal power envelope.  Dropping each chip to 300GH is a good start. So, a guess of this could be:

.6W * 600 = 360w (BFL projects 350w)  - just a guess

The PCI-e connectors alone (though not stated if it is a 6/8 or dual 8 pin) alone has more than enough power to supply this card(a GTX690 eats over 600w at peak!), and even OC a little- plus the provided 75W off your mainboard as well.  Its a pretty solid design assuming that this is the overall idea behind it.

Honestly, Id love one if it wasn't from BFL.  This design is something id love to have replace my GPU rig with nothing more than plug n play.  

Now only if BFL knew how to deliver: http://bitslammed.com/butterflylabs-sends-another-update/

are you talking about the Monarch 600card? if so you must be crazy that's a fluff piece to keep you interested in BFL !! think about it ......................

Small unit with single fan 600Ghash ?? are they getting nasa to design it ? the image is of a GTX690 Classified case!!! knocked up and rendered in Blender3D to get your taste buds going


if they build that card i will eat my hat. look at the size of KnC and the 60Ghash boxes BFL make now they gonna (reduce power by 90% size by 80% for arguments sake) get real folks thats a step to far from a company that ships units with broken power supplys and dodgy burnt out mainboards! fuck it i will make a 1Th USB miner that uses 1w and it costs £1999 im taking orders right now let me photoshop some crap together like hashfast lol ...................

Deal sounds sweet, but they always do.

No way, scammed once is enough.

Stay away from BLACK FUCKING HOLE { BFL }  , once u get sucked in the black hole , there is no coming out. 

Only people who have to goddamn many money, which are not many people but the early adopters.

I think BFL "discontinued" local pickups before they started shipping...

BFL is "located" in Kansas. Anyone live near there that can verify? I wonder if picking it up at the store is an option. Or just zerging the store/warehouse/offices whatever. lololol

Sure. I will buy a 100 AM erupters right now for 0.085 each, or for 0.05 at the end of October. Do you see it happening? Probably not. If you just want do play, then order a few erupters and write off the loss on taxes (somehow ). Buying 400 erupters is just dumb at this point. I personally wait for AM blades price drop to under 3 and then red fury seems interesting. Since it's a hobby for me, it seems justifiable to drop a few hundred $$ here and there to play with the new shiny bitcoin toys.

As for BFL, I was one of the stupid ones who got into bitcoin game in April of 2013 after seeing an article in Wired where they showed a jally. I ordered one for $250 and now laughing my ass off at the naïveté. Good times.
