off to the drug store i go.....

Enough about uranus.

You'd better buy some adult diapers ahead of time then...
This could get messy.

TMI

if my mercury hashes at 130 ghs. i will poop my pants in excitement.

See the words "performance increase" directly following 30% in the newsletter?  
How about the words "in regards to CGminer" in the beginning of the very same sentience? One final Question... Are you on drugs? sry, couldn't help it.. . How can you read that sentience, and not know what the 30% applies to? Wow.

This has gotten utterly absurd.

Since the fricking open day they have stated end of Sept. Nothing has changed.

I cannot believe how people are genuinely comparing their experience with;

A) Butterfly Labs; a clusterfuck of dishonest wannabes that outsource their design work and focused more on marketing and aesthetic over function and time to market.

B) Bitsyncom; a corrupt bunch of attention seeking school kids that sold out their entire community for a quick buck after pre mining the shit out of their customers products and refusing refunds until such point people got pissed enough to threaten legal action.

With a genuine engineering firm with over 10 years experience in FPGA and ASIC design (that's not cumulative, that's each engineer - real socially reclusive designers capable of creating 178 core ASICs, hardcore sh*t, not attention seekers), and who own the worlds largest open source community; opencores.com Their door has been open to visitors the entire time, yet you all prefer to bitch of a forum, over visiting and seeing what their capable of with your own eyes. The comments cluttering this thread are laughable.

FFS the board is totally over designed to handle any heat issue, the estimated specs are completely minimal pessimistic values so as not to let anyone down. These are not simulated best theoretical values the other 28nm manufactures are claiming. The competitors have to make bold claims as they are months behind and want funding.

If you don't think KNC is 100%, then put your money where your mouth is...

I'll be happy to profit from your misgivings.

Far from useless if delivered in time (late September/ early October).

Hey  Tsukene

I thought the Chips image was great ............one of the best hand grenades yet .  I think you should throw more .

We cant just ignore all of the bullshit comments they chuck ....wheres the fun in that

Half the reason I read this thread is to find knowledge and the other is to have a laugh.........like our Kuroth , I like takeing pot shots at him ..........theres still a little kid left in me too

The only really important decision that needs to be made will be appox October 15th will be if you should reinvest in a Jupiter at $5000 or not ..........and you will know that decision quite easily on the day ...................the rest of is not that important .........unless you have big monies to invest and can get more GH  cheaper

So keep lobbing those grenades ..........I enjoy a good giggle  

haha you win. 400th PAGE!

Uh, that's a bit belated, isn't it?  Your post is #7981

i think YOU expected beginning of september. A smart person assumed the end of september or beginning of october. glad you got your refund as well

P.S. HAPPY 400TH POST!!!!

This user is currently ignored...

You sound angry lols, not trolling, delivery is expected end of september when this whole time they gave the impression of early to mid september. The only one getting trolled is you still waiting for your device, hope they dont get delayed so you never roi lmao.

They have always been expected at the end of September.  They will ROI up to the point where difficulty exceeds 2 billion.  Glad you got your refund.  Now stop trolling here.  STFU and GTFO...

And so its confirmed still om track for end of September, which makes these devices pretty much useless unless the value of bitcoin starts to skyrocket. Good thing I got my refund.

FWIW, The simplest explanation is often the best:

The chips (in bulk) are being burned as we speak, the design was finished awhile ago.

Prior to the bulk silicone chip order, a few chips were laid out and used for testing/verifying board functionality/testing the chips, etc.

That's not a situation of putting 2 unknowns together, that's simply matching up components which had already been designed-for and tested-with each other.

The chips seldom "work" or "don't work."  The chips can draw way too much power (BFL), not take clock@voltage (everyone else), have noise issues, dead cores, etc., etc. -FPGAs are pretty much useless for debugging boards meant for ASICs.  Nothing -- from power requirements to clockspeed -- is the same.  It's no better than testing a race car with a lawnmower engine.  You will see routing mistakes, but that sort of thing is usually caught before testing

As far as Microsoft, i used them as a counterexample to the claim that establishing good standards & practices eliminates the need to test & debug.  That claim is simply absurd -- testing & debugging are an integral part of coding.
