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.
That's right, exactly like the smoke and mirrors boards KNCminer were showing photos of until two days ago when we saw the first chips. If you look at the picture, there is a lot on that BFL board, a Cyclone FPGA, an Altmel 32uc3, it's no toy.
Seriously, who would order from them when if you google their name the words "scam" and "new customers beware" etc come up on the first page?
