What's a GPU?

What if BFL is just going to say:

"Mini-Rig customers will be receiving ASIC Mini-Rigs!!!!"

The timing seems very right, assuming their announcement is not just getting us excited for a product that we can't order for three months, which would be a very bad move on their part.

So how it's possible that you will get it next month?

I ordered 2 rig boxes two months ago. 2 rig boxes turned into 4 mini rig boxes.

Mystery solved.

Similar to gigavps, I ordered one rig box, now two mini-rigs, a little over a month ago.  The last time I asked, Sonny said it should ship end of June.

Also the Mini Box was announced in April 7.

Obviously he had ordered Rig boxes before the Mini Rig announcement on April 7, thus he will get 4 Mini Rigs soon enough, to make us envy for about 12-15 weeks  Grin

I called they said the delivery will be after 12 or 15  weeks after receiving the payment.
That means about 4 months may be more since there are people waiting the single since January.
So how it's possible that you will get it next month?
Also the Mini Box was announced in April 7.
So I think may be you will get in July or August if you are lucky.

Anyway I'm happy for you if you will have next month.

I think the Rig Box never existed and the same for the Mini.
Only pictures. 

They don't give any indication about the delivery terms for the Mini.
Probably they have issues cooling it, for that they are working on water blocks.
I guess it will be available next year with water blocks at an higher price and I will happy to order two.

Does anyone have ordered a Rig or Mini Box?
Do you get any indication about the delivery date?

Anyway I believe they are good guys and are doing a great job with limited financial resources.

So I don't blame them for delaying the delivery to use that money for R&D.

I have ordered 4 mini rig boxes. They should be here sometime in May.

If you want more information, call Butterfly Labs. Their phone number is on their website.

 Due to the cost, I would join 3-5 people in a group purchase and share the costs and share the mining profit.

Your grammar doesn't make sense.

Re spam, what about all the threads discussing various aspects of Icarus?
Searching the boards, there are several of those too in addition to the main thread.

Granted, I too find it a bit annoying that I now have to read and watch several BFL threads but that hardly qualifies them as spam.

So if the Mini-Rig consists of 24 boards like in this drawing, each one has about 1GH/s and about 20MH/W, just like at some point proposed for the Singles.

It doesn't. It consists of 18 modules, because the power supply takes up some space. Total hash rate is 25 GH/s.

Why don't the Singles?

Obviously a new board. When will we see Singles with it?

Edit: Inspector2211 asked the question, sorry for the redundancy

The Mini Rig is now on BFL's product page; the Rig Box is gone.

The air flow kind of scares me with this setup. Could definitely be optimized, especially if those are fans over each board.

I see what looks like 24 singles. By my calculations that is just shy of 20GH/s. I wonder if they're planning on optimizing the Single firmware or designing new modules that gets a little over 1GH/s.

Only 18 modules, because the power supply takes up some space.
Total hash performance 25 GH/s.

So what are the square blocks with the circle cut out over each board?  Is that going to be an additional fan over each?

That's my assumption.
