Those little Jalepenos are so cute you just plug them right in and BOOM BTC

Sure the company has been plagued with all sorts of bad decisions, bad calls, bad planning and bad timing but the fact remains they jumpstarted the new generation of Asics mining. It was New technology in a New profitable industry and Greed got the best of most.

The Pre-orders were a bad idea, but maybe it was necessary? If people would have been patient they would have made more money and possibly the difficulty wouldn't have increased as much as it did. Perhaps the price would be much more than what it is now?

I'm sure they'll pull through the madness and get orders caught up hopefully before all the Bitcoins are generated, but at least they're finally starting to ship them out. Roll Eyes

Are you kidding me?

They are the 3rd company to release an ASIC. How is that "jumpstarting the new generation of Asics mining". I sure hope this post is satire and I'm just not getting it.

More down to earth - The huge benefit to the BFL machines is the watts used. Should the BTC price go down substantially, they will still be relatively cheap to operate as the watts per Gh is very low relative to the competitors.

Well,the Original Avalon unit consumed 600+ watts @ 60-70GH.What BKKcoins is designing MAY use 32 watts per 5GH board.

So,BFL's 5GH unit consumes 27 watts.

The difference between 27 watts & 32 watts is not enough for anyone to really make the Klondike Avalon be "unprofitable" anytime sooner than BFL's units.

That argument is null & void Wink

Well, like BFL, that argument is null and void when they start shipping. You said they are just in the design stage???

Null and void... Wink

So your saying BFL is,null & void Cheesy
