Seems BFL are responding with a Monarch prototype.









it does not take a lot to make a prototype board for demo purposes if you don't show the ASIC chip more smoke and mirrors.

I can't post on BFL forums anymore but they are basically destroying the monarch on price vs shipping (ie feb) compared to orders now from knc in november


I'd have really liked to be a fly on the wall when Josh heard the following:

1) KNC is up and hashing with a working unit (maybe 1 day late) (that alone would have been epic)

2) KNC has increased the hashing power by 44% so my 600gh now has an extra 264gh potential increase now to around maybe 864gh

and of course 3 which really frosts the cake

3) That 264gh increase in hashing power is at NO COST

MAN talk about a bad day at BFL!

Just goes to show always go with the guys who start in april and say by September with the only proof is a web site with line drawings of the miners...


(must be a Swedish thing)

sheez this ASiC world is weird

hmmm....should probably not be bashing BFL and this card in that I had a "force uprgade" in my view with BFL no refund policy I upgraded to the monarch
my 60gh order.....I was right to do that I'm never gonna see the 60gh unit in time to do anything with it at the rate they are shipping..but was the only game in town
so this rat ran to the 600gh......likely both are lost live an learn doubt bfl will last long enough to get it out the door imho
