When ASICs start shipping try picking up an FPGA miner cheap.
Any estimates on shipping date?
Plenty of threads dedicated to speculating on that one.
Yea, I don't know either.
Aaaaaand the latest (official)updates saaaaay (drum-roll please)....
--BFL has postponed their shipping until the week of the 11th. Expect the middle of December.
--Tom has said that the bASICs are delayed due to a board redesign and will ship middle of January.
--The Avalon team has actually bumped up their shipping time from March to the
middle of January end of February. EDIT: I got confused.
