He said she said, it is in my opinion these devices are computers, they have a ASIC processor that runs x GHZ and uses the usb cable to get data. Where a periphial to me is more like a xbox controller. but we will see, I made a written complaint and it has to be follower up in writing. I will post the answer here one way or another. so lets see what happens.
I dont think self declaration will work with these, I have offered to send them a couple one 10 GH and one 50 GH for their evaluation.
As far as I know a class A computing device it cant be marketed to hobbyist or consumers only to business and they have to implement policies not to sell to individuals.
They do not list a suite number on their website only when you get a RMA #101
I cant find a listing for Butterfly labs on the state corporations website in KS Im fIling complaint w/ state atty general on monday, i did find one that said BF labs at a different address and as far as I understand they cant advertise under a different name than their corporate registration.
Lets see where all this goes...
Georgie my boy, again, Self dec. I spoke with your guy on firday, these devices operate at a COMBINED total of 10 or 60 GH/s I believe we are talking 16 engines @ 250mhz nominal (300mhz max) The GIGAHASH speed has NOTHING (there is a propotionality to chip speed and hashes yes in theory) to do with the Mhz or Ghz, or RF leakage, if you file, let me know I'd LOVE to use that in my personal law suit against BFL. so the leakage is not coming from microwave range or any special protected ranges, also its NOT like an xbox controller as it contains a transmitters, (if these were wireless or self contained (LIKE the 600GH units that might be different), this is more or less akin to a USB wired video car or a math coprocessor.
Nail them by going to UL, and proving the device is no underwritten and is a fire hazard.
