Is there anyone from South Africa who is interested in earning some bitcoins or a free Bitfury miner? There is a guy named Neill Roelofse (also known as Clipse) who stole hundreds of bitcoins from me and several other miners in summer 2012. He lives in Cape Town.
Send me a PM if you can help me. I don't want my bitcoins back any more, I want revenge.

Yep, we are working on that now 
and also having a chat with bitfury about this Lets see what we can do regarding the price

FYI, I used the same link to do my estimations and found anything below 400GH/s won't break even in time or at all. Taking 50 GH/s for example never breaks even or make a profit
The past 8 difficulty changes have been
28.4%, 23.92%, 10.32%, 19.47%, 19.63%, 35.88%, 29.4% (most recent)
see the link from here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmcTCtjBoRWUdHVRMHpqWUJValI1RlZiaEtCT1RrQmc
Each difficulty change is exponential, and occurs every 11 days or so, so almost 3/month
This works out to be approx 105% increase over the last 30 days
If you plug that into the genesis block
Currently we "only" have a difficulty of 65 million. With a network of 9PH, the difficulty rises to about 1.5 billion. If you sum together what the known ASIC suppliers have announced, 9PH will probably be added by early 2014.

Very conservative network growth estimate you used; their default estimate would seem more realistic over the next 6 months... A little shady putting this up here.
+1
the default network increase is roughly 50% higher then your 'calculation'

Just something interesting I came across.

Nice our servers have been upgraded. just waiting for our new site to go live.

Hey guys,
We are upgrading our servers, so our site will be down but hopefully back up by tomorrow Then getting a new site this weekend. yay

is your site down?
With the estimated difficulty rising from 54mil to almost 67mil in the last week I seriously doubt any of this would be viable anymore
Intron is also busy testing the USB miners. aka 2 bitfury chips on a usb chip. awesome
awesome
We received a case design from a member of the community which looks amazing. Will ask him to put the design on the thread for you guys to see.
If you want me to verify a prototype once its up and running, send it my way and let me know what baby food it likes. I'm sure my clients would be interested.
hahahaha
@crazyearner, Bitfury increased his price per chip. And also we are including quite a lot more with these boards. Including the SHash design which is overclockable instead of the current bitfury design that is out there.
You can pay when you collect sure. But the chances of us actually having any left in stock is extremely low. People pay now if they want to reserve the stock and reserve a unit, so that when it comes. They dont have to wait in a long queue like BFL etc. As we ship out all the units after they have been manufactured and assembled. Whereas if we do it piece by piece. We order one unit. ship that unit. order another etc. the lead times are extremely long.
So if we have any units left in stock. Then you are more than welcome to pay and collect.
Its like ordering a brand new Ferrari, The chances of the dealers ever having anything in stock is very slim so you put in your order so that when they do have. you get it asap
I hope I made sense there. Otherwise let me know and I will try rephrase, havent had much sleep the past few days. making sure everything is in order takes its toll hehe

We are still busy with the tests. Waiting on the new test chips to arrive now so that we can continue, and actually push a few units to the limit.
Nice too see tests are been made I have 1 question in regards to the pre orders.
I have seen a jump in the 400GH price by 20BTC why has this gone up in price when prices where less than this befor?
Also instead of paying via site after submit or however you have done it can it be arranged for pay on collect ?

So by how much can a 50GH/s unit be overclocked for?
Oh another "plus" S-HASH boards have on-board networking, a 50Amp power supply and is easier to Overclock
lets hope we can get a lot more than the 50GH/s out of them while testing
1 PCB = 48-50GH/s So yeah.
