Also I'm not sure if Tom was trying to say Bfl was lying.
Let's take a look at exactly what Tom said.
But guess what? EITHER DO MY COMPETITORS!
Sure I can post a "simulated" or "estimated" power usage number - but its not going to be accurate. You really think BFL is going to give 1Gh/s per watt? keep dreaming.
I have bolded the part where Tom claims that BFL will not meet their power estimates.
Tom has also claimed to have a working prototype working so I would assume that their power estimates should be pretty concrete. But what do I know, I'm just a miner.
EDIT:Here is the original quote of Tom saying he has a prototype. I don't want anyone thinking I'm making this stuff up.
The truth is it just takes time to have these kind of chips made, and then you still have to have the boards assembled. its a lengthy process. I am just happy we finally have a prototype that works that we can move forward with this is something that has been in the works for awhile.
