Ya bkk is pretty down right now,,,I would say,,,he's just kinda hanging back to see what unfolds and when,,,his next move may be even to adapt the klondike to Gen2 if push comes to shove??? God bless him,,,, he has put so much in to things....

What is more concerning is that bkk has had populated k16 rev 3 for weeks now and has not made one update about it hashing or not.

A true Leap of Faith I certainly hope they can produce you back a working board in the time advertised. I really do, for both you and TH's sake. This is a good chance for them to pick up some credibility in the community. I do know they are still working on the newer k64 boards from some reading in bkk's threads,,,so good luck! let us know.

Pardon my grammar. Should have used past tense
But its not like these chips are gold anymore are they. I would be lucky if I could get ROI, thats if terrahash stick to their promise.

now why would you do something like that

Welcome on Earth, we hope that you came in peace from your planet.
It looks like your journey was long if you did not realise yet that TH is not responding tickets...

I would not buy any size fan at the moment.  Unless I'm wrong they showed one board hashing with hw errors and lower hash rate.  They received more sample chips, but i don't they have ever showed if they even used to make a newer one.  If they cant build a proper one to show off, what do you think chances are they can do yours?

Even if they get the chips I honestly will be shocked if they are able to get you a board anytime soon.

I will get flak for hatting TH (yes i did get paypal refund long ago when they already missed deadlines).  But honestly i would try to get money back, or just count it as a loss and be surprised if you get anything.

We are all watching

edit: can you reply when you see that they have signed for the package?

Ah very good, they will now be able to prove their 2 week promise, and of course dispel all of the naysayers. Looking forward to it.

Where is Terrahash? They are not responding to emails, tickets, voice call (mail box still not setup).
They are obviously monitoring the forum though.

Let it be known that Terrahash has my chips today. So the two weeks clock starts now.
I need to know what size and spec of fan to buy but I can't find the info as terrahash is not responding to anything.

I'm in full agreement, businesses want a bit more legitimacy in order to adopt Bitcoin, and this would help. ASICs will somewhat centralize the network to a certain degree in the near future anyways.

I do think we'll see a much higher BTC price in the near future with all of the world events occurring, plus everything happening with the US reviewing it, and Germany accepting it. But like the last flash crash, I expect it to come back down, but maybe to the 100 range now.

If the Winklevoss twins get approval for their bitcoin investment fund, I believe prices will also rise. Right now, it's too difficult for the average investor to put money into bitcoin, so a legitimate investment fund will make it much easier for the average person to invest in bitcoin and provide a good catalyst for higher bitcoin prices.

The current 1 billion dollar bitcoin market cap is a drop in the bucket compared to all the money sloshing around the world seeking a decent return.

why not? the demand fundamentals have not changed - asic hardware purchase + speculation are still the only 2 sole source of demand for bitcoin.  Hardware purchase will die off as it's self defeating and speculation creates volatility + up/down cycles.

You will also have selling pressure from those large asic farms trying to recoup initial investment as mentioned. People need to understand right now majority of the bitcoin generations are still fractured and divided among retail miners (this is good) but going forward larger and larger pieces of the 2016 pie will be going to a handful of commercial asic farms and large retail miners, which means they will drive prices absent of any other catalyst.

The Cyprus banking crisis was probably the only time in bitcoin history i am aware of that created REAL demand for bitcoin driven by fear as people cant get their money out and bitcoin was an alternative. We all know what happened to the prices, it be nice if those events can happen again (speaking purely from bitcoin price viewpoint), but they are blackswans, you might as well get a lottery ticket if hoping for that.

In term of regulation, I welcome it, more regulation = more legitimacy = more chance of bitcoin being used as alternative currency = more real demand.  As long as they dont ban it outright...

Yes indeed they do...TH would be better off to mass order blades directly, and resell them on their site,,,,with NON-EBAY pricing,,,like 799.00 each or even lower or something... they would fly of the shelves and TH could still see almost double their money per sale,,,,,would be a good avenue to pull out of the hole for them! and create some cash flow,,,, short term anyways....

Sigh, looking at FriedCats new blade prices makes these preorders so worthless!~

Hey thanks for that Tidbit, I just looked at the link,,,so someone is on it! Probably slow in development, but i feel its an opportunity for the right developers and would have a decent market. I will keep up with that link! thx

Terrahash is not responding to tickets.

Anybody else having the same problem?
BitSyncom is creating another BFL company.......

It can be done, but there appear to be two problems with an FPGA for scrypt.  Current estimated $/kh/s is higher than 79xx GPU's, they are obviously more energy efficient than GPU's but with the higher cost/khs it would take a high electrical rate or a very long time to overcome the difference.  LTC FPGA's estimates are not showing the same jump in "efficiencies" we saw with BTC GPU to FPGA.  I think GPU's are going to be around quite a while the high NRE of FPGA's and ASIC's are a pretty large barrier to entry right now all things considered.  Although you may be able to get into an IPO or buy some LTC FPGA's in the coming months I still don't see them pushing GPU's out any time soon.

No.

Most Likely !
