I was supposed to have some information I needed to complete the update yesterday, but it didn't happen. I should have it today sometime and I will post an update then. It's 7AM in KC right now, so people are just getting into the office... they should get my info at some point today. I do know that we have the test board running stable at 650 GH/s at the moment, so all is well on that front.

The Imperial will likely need another board rev. I am pushing to start shipping 600 GH/s units now as opposed to waiting for a new board rev. This makes shipping much more complex and we are discussing if that's even possible and if so how to handle it. It looks like we would have a new Imperial class board rev by the end of next week, but I would like to start shipping before then. I will post a more detailed technical explanation in the update. The Imperial class board rev will reduce power usage on standard Monarchs as well, which is one reason to wait. However, I am not in favor of waiting, regardless of power consumption on the 600 GH/s units and would like to start shipping next week if we can get them through manufacturing that quickly, and I don't think it will be a problem. We have the boards, they just need to be populated with components. That is part of the information I am waiting on, as well as a few more details.

No way the avoid refunds on 80%+ of their Black Friday order, refunds become available tomorrow or Friday.

But according to BFL (or it used to be) If they are shipping they don't have to do refunds....so up to 11:59pm Oct 30th CST they will ship 1 or 2 cards out..announce they are shipping just before the deadline...(would if they could not sure they could...just saying nothing would surprise me)

Oh and by the way...it is only refunded if it is OVER 6 months and 1 DAY...that gives them till June 30th up to 11:59 pm to start shipping ...at least if they are gonna be slimy about it (nah they would not do that right..says the newbs?) that is what my email said on my refund...so I'd be plenty nervous as a black friday person trying to refund.....

Again hope I'm wrong but ....
