I'm pretty sure this pic will go down in history and in about 20-40 years we will all laugh so hard about all this nonsense!

The Bitcoin world moves so damn quick, I'd settle for laughing so hard about this nonsense in two weeksTM!

EDIT: Arghhhh even I'm saying it now!!

2nd EDIT: for Xialla Wink

Josh is gonna need more drinks when KnC ships  Wink

Nah, they're happy.  They protected the network for themselves for most of 2013.  Now that the diff is rising thru the roof they decided to finally ship (slowly).  But they'll continue to tell you they are the only ones adding to the network and that when they started shipping wouldn't have mattered anyway...of course.

Josh continues to claim he never got the orders he put in before joining BFL.  If that were the case, you'd think he wouldn't look so happy.  Nobody knows what is going on, but I'd be pissed if I still didn't have my 6 FPGA rigs upgraded yet.  Money is moving and exchanging hands somehow behind the scenes beyond employee base pay...

I am pretty sure if was 2-3 weeks from the time Bitfury resellers received chips to the time the first orders went out.  

That was the main Bitfury's idea. Just as planned, some device (PCB) developers have failed, some succeeded. This is the disadvantage of single development process.

Wait, Josh (SCAMMER), Yufi (SCAMMER), Knc (don't know yet) and who is the other guy?
It must be some kind of conspiracy.

I think it's Sonny.

Do those guys look a bit ... predatorial?
Like they already sized you up, and are pausing just to savor the thought of ... surprise butsecs they'll soon be doling out?
 Cheesy


Now that shit right there is funny  Cheesy

It appears as if Josh is about to be throttled. Whose hands are really around his neck?!

I'm grateful for his work but his attitude is total shit.

meeh, sadly I must agree with you at this point.

I concur.

Indeed, he'd never hold down a dev role IRL with an attitude as such...

Can't help but chime in and agree.

I am pretty sure if was 2-3 weeks from the time Bitfury resellers received chips to the time the first orders went out. 

But IIRC that was 6 weeks or so after bitfury received its first chips. Did those resellers all do their own chip testing and qualification, board design, firmware, etc? You have to look at the complete cycle.

i have 2 jupiters in the first batch, but i`m thinking about canceling at least 1 of them

i would keep them if i`d get some kind of refund (as the october ones come in discounted)

Sure, but thats easy to say after the facts. You can dismiss BFL track record all you want, fact is no one so far has managed to deploy, let alone ship a bitcoin miner in anything remotely close to 2 weeks after receiving first silicon (heck, I cant think of ANY consumer computing device); and I will be quite surprised if anyone will.

I am pretty sure if was 2-3 weeks from the time Bitfury resellers received chips to the time the first orders went out.  Note Bitfury sold no boards to the public all miners sold to the public came from one of three partners/distributors who bought chips wholesale and did their own assembly, and delivery.  Essentially acting as OEMs much like how AMD doesn't sell any graphics cards to the public.

So yes 2 weeks is aggressive but reality is closer to 2 weeks then the 6+ months nonsense that BFL has used as an excuse.

btw. does anyone remember the early estimates by people, that KnC need to clock their chips at 520MHz to achieve 100GHps? Didn't KnC mention somewhere that they're clocking it around 1GHz? That math is quite interesting... Cheesy

Dreaming is nice, isn't it? Smiley

Josh about the knc announcment  Cheesy

The irony; someone who has proven consistently grasp the meaning of 'two weeks', still claiming to have an understanding of 'two weeks'. Grin
He need to change that line to 14 days.

i wonder how come it is just me who thinks with all the other companies shipping in the coming months the increase in diff will jump higher then 75%/months thus making all our orders, well.. useless..
This is not another diff/return post, but honestly we just reached 1PH the other day...Cointerra Expects to Deliver 2 PH/s in December which is ... emm 200% increase of today's diff + all the other manufacturers who of course might add another 2-4PH. Translated that would mean that the leveling of the difficulty will hit somewhere around February if we are lucky, and by that time your asic is only doing scraps.

Again i`m not looking for calculations, but maybe i`m missing something, or have i?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/estimate-of-asic-pre-orders-13-to-15-phs-diff-18b-to-21b-by-end-of-2013-283820

I would say 6 PH/s by end of 2013 to be VERY conservative at this point and we probably are looking at 10 to 15 PH/s by end of Q1 2014.  Beyond that it really is hard to say but honestly you should be considering this to be the bare minimum network speed and if it comes up short take any reduction in difficulty as a gift.
