I'm still formulating a plan for these reserves. There are a multitude of options coming and the field changes daily. At this particular moment I'd like to say we're going to order 10+ 400Gh/s Bitfury kits, but I don't know because they're not available yet & haven't been reviewed yet. I have the same information everyone else has.

Cheers.

I pretty much creamed myself imaging what 10x 400Gh/s would feel like.

...but if reviews are favorable from recipients of Bitfury gear scheduled for August delivery then we could very well go in that direction.

Do I take that to mean you'd wait for the October deliveries? How do the various delivery periods/costs fit into your difficulty projections?

I don't think we have a choice, unfortunately. Though they still have gear listed for sale at megabigpower.com for August delivery, it's all sold out(inventory = zero). We know that knc is supposed to be delivering in September/October as well, and we know that ASICMiner has stated that they'd see massive deployment by the end of 2013. I don't see a large reduction in network expansion for some while yet unless the exchange rate falls sharply, so our best play here IMO is to deploy the most efficient gear we can find as quickly as we can get our hands on it. At this point that looks like Bitfury(or perhaps knc) in October and possibly any additional BFL gear I can turn up at a reasonable price now. Though I find pre-orders distasteful, if Bitfury delivers to August customers AND their products meet their specs, I believe I could hold my nose and pull the trigger.

Cheers.
