About that power issue, I was informed that it was measured on LTC . The problem is not the pool you're using but the current difficulty and coin type. The higher the difficulty the more power the machine needs.
Early gridseeds had exactly the same issue , having different power draw depending on the coin you're mining.

I was also assured that if you have a faulty hardware you can return it and have it refunded, so I'm sorry but I don't see an issue here.

I also fail to see a connection with them and BFL. They said they'll deliver and they did, if you got the hardware a day or 2 later, there is really no issue, most online stores reserve at least a week for this.
And as I said before you can return the hardware if you want. As for your time, imagine you go to a store, buy something, come back home and don't like it, go back to return and request money for your lost time Cheesy

Are you serious?

Then why is my Falcon pulling 1100 Watts from the wall for mining CGA with stabilized diff of 2 and net hashrate of 180-200MH?? Big difference than the HUGE difficulty of LTC.....

Say what? You own a Falcon. And its running at 180-200MHz? wtf?

I'll clarify. CGA net hashrate is 180-200MH/s. Going to be testing starcoin with net hash of 50MH/s to see what power draw is for a REALLY low diff coin. Any less net hashrate than that runs risk of 51% from my asic.

my falcon does 24-28MH, btw. waiting to see if they release promised patch before I decide to return it or not.

OK. Would you mind posting a photo of your falcon? Im not calling you out, I just want to see a photo of an actual falcon. What date did you receive it and what date was it ordered?

Thanks

Ordered 5/4, received 5/29. its big and red and has 3 loud-ass fans, comparable to an air conditioner at full blast. Reference cards for R9 290 are louder than Falcon. The side with the blue master board gets warm. has 3 green boards same size. Unit exhaust is warm, like a summer breeze, but not hot. I have it pointed out the window. It definitely moves some air through it. All high quality circuit boards, gold plating under the solder instead of normal copper.

Josh's pics I'm posting here, mine is the same exact thing:
