The OP believes in only the one true ASIC's. Wink

The answer is no. Not all ASIC manufacturers are scammers.

See? There it is again. 's does not make plural, it makes possessive.

Someone is working hard to get their Pendantry Badge to make Eagle Snark.  Grin

Agreed, but I'll surely not be accused of misquoting the OP this way. Smiley

Subject: Is ASIC's a SCAM?

Angry neighborhood bastard mod here.

If you intended to be taken seriously, I think your subject should have been: "Are ASICs a scam?"

THE Buddha was a male prince. A Buddha could be any enlightened person. Male...female...undecided...

Seems a fair response, although it doesn't answer my other question of the connection between being (A/THE) Buddha, and being (A/THE) hermaphrodite  Huh

Obviously you have a comprehension problem.
Over 25 years ago I was a director of a company that worked opposite  Plessey Crypto in wavertree technology park Liverpool.


I am Gandhi,
and Jesus,
and Krishna.

I'd rather just be Budda.
Being a hermaphrodite would have its advantages whilst waiting for mining  ASICS to ship.


Wait wait wait wait wait... wait.

Just wait a second. Asiics aside; Buddha was a hermaphrodite? Or that was two completely independent thoughts linked together without a paragraph spacing?

I haven't accused anybody, because in order to do that I would have to be certain of it. The only reason I am attacked is because I don't make sock-puppet accounts to blow my whistle.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scam

Making baseless, completely inaccurate, and constant accusations about ASIC companies. The only thing I'm missing to complete the "scam" is what you gain from it.

Please choose one (or more) from the list below:

1.) You've purchased an ASIC, and are purposely trying to dissuade others from purchasing by constantly trolling about ASICs in order to try to slow sales to expand your profitability.
2.) You have a massive GPU or FPGA farm, and are purposely trying to dissuade others from purchasing by constantly trolling about ASICs in order to try to slow sales to expand your profitability.
3.) You support a specific ASIC company, so you're attacking any others.
4.) You actually believe that there's no such thing as an ASIC, at all, for anything ever. Technology that is currently in your home, in use right now, is all just a myth. In which case, you're just batshit crazy, so you're probably in it for a can of beans and some twigs or something.

ElectricMucus is number 2 or 3 on the list of people who need to get a scammer tag if any ASIC is delivered before the year is out.

He just needs to start calling the attorney general to get to number 1.

Seeing as how they "deliver" in... what was it?... 10 days?... you'd kinda expect they'd at least have a mock up prototype to photograph by now. Hell, they could paint an Apple TV black, lay a Jalapeno on the "Jalapeno" and stick circuitry from a TV remote and some christmas lights inside and it would still be more convincing than what they have now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you prototype an ASIC by building it as an FPGA first?(done) Then you find $millions in funding? (done)
Just saying BFL are more convincing on ASIC than their competition, what have they shown? Not even design images.
You risk little by waiting for it to come into stock, the pre-order will clear pretty fast if their 900 units a day quote on new equipment is true.

NOPE!!!

Twenty five years ago I worked on an ASIC design.

1. NO FPGA was used
2. NO it did not cost 'millions' it worked out at about 15,000 British pounds and an agreement to take Half a million pieces.
3. Taking a design from FPGA directly to ASIC, could actually result in a big disaster...... depending on if you use VHDL or Verilog.

Looks legit.

 Roll Eyes

Yep and they are going to get their production lines for SMT & assembly of >300 units a day in there?

Sorry if that is going to be the production facility, then boy have they got some surprises coming.
