jurov: then that's an unit, imho... but as nothing such was actually delivered, it's undecidable
Anduck: doesn't matter how many m-boards or h-boards are needed for the performance of the mining unit
jurov: so you will get one box with two mainboards for original price?
fractal: Anduck: that's irrelevant to the bet language
Anduck: everyone gets the hashrate they paid for. and the hashrate will be made within the power usage promised
fractal: jurov: there needs to be a 400Gh UNIT -- which doesn't exist
fractal: jurov: they're compensating. and thats great... But the bet doesn't say that
jborkl: jurov: they are shipping 400gh that draws 350w
Anduck: jurov: you pay for the 400 gh and you get the 400 gh
jurov: Anduck: if you bought 400gh for some amount of money and then you'd found out you have to buy more hardware to get 400gh
fractal: Anduck: The best doesn't say 'If the 400Gh miner only mines at 380Gh' they can ship more hardware and its a yes
fractal: Anduck: Thats not what the bet says
Anduck: fractal: that was the advertised hardware... the bet wasn't about advertised hardware. it was about advertised performance. 400gh for 400 watts. people ordered a kit which produces that and they get what they ordered
jurov: i think if they don't ship more boards as a kit to fullfill the 400gh, then it's clearly false
mircea_popescu: lemme see if i manage to dig up this
mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr "lol yknow eventually there's gonna bet a channel dedicated to debating bitbet wording"
fractal: mircea_popescu: no, i'm not..... can both sides agree to cancel the bet?
fractal: Anduck: A 400Gh unit with "1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips" was advertised
jurov: if anyone ordered that, he will receive 1 board or more?
Anduck: fractal: they didn't meet the advertised hardware amount. but they meet the advertised performance by far!!
fractal: Anduck: Thats not what was advertised
Anduck: 400 gh kit includes enough h-boards to make 400 gh miner
Anduck: the bet wasn't about the amount of hardware delivered... it was about the kits/units and thheir performance
jurov: so, are the kits with multiple h-boards actually sold?
fractal: Anduck: That's not what the language in the bet says though.... seriously... I'm sorry you weren't more specific
Anduck: the bet was about the advertised performance, that be 400gh unit will produce 400gh and it will do it for less than the 400 watts
fractal: jurov: Anduck's argument is that if they send more hardware for free then it counts as being part of the same device
Anduck: jurov: full kits include more h-boards because of the performance problems with h-boards. but the unit of 400ghash is 400ghash, dependless of the amount of h-boards in the unit/kit/miner
jurov: but they aren't 400gh yet
fractal: jurov: " Bitfury 400 GH/s Miner – currently hashing at 380 GH/s on 16 cards. " -- thats correct -- punin admitted it missed hashrate specs -- they will fix it in next manufacturing batch, but its impossible to do that and ship by sept 1---
Anduck: jurov: the units/kits will be hashing the promised hashrate
jurov: "Full kits include a main board, 16 hashing boards, a raspberry pi, and cables to set up the miner."
ozbot: Bitfury 400 GH/s Bitcoin Mining Rig Hits US Shores - The Genesis Block
jurov: http://thegenesisblock.com/bitfury-400-ghs-bitcoin-mining-rig-hits-us-shores/ interprets it so that "the miner gives only 380GH/s"
ozbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
Anduck: it's only about the advertised performance, 400 ghash miner for 400 warrs
fractal: again, this is only as advertised
fractal: I went to bitfurystrikesback.com and looked at what was advertised -- I thought, no way they'll get 400Gh on that M-board with 16 cards -- they might hit power -- but I don't think they'll get 400Gh out of that --- I put my money where my mouth is, and I was right--
Anduck: nor the hardware
jborkl: advertised performance, not size or space taken up as i see it
mircea_popescu: in retrospect i think this is absolutely the first time a genuine wording problem has come to fore. the previous one (on the bfl specs) was thoroughly manufactured by dishonest blf.
Anduck: jurov: people ordered 25gh unit (was meant to be 1 h-board + 1 m-board) but they were delivered 1 m-board and 2 h-boards instead.. for the same price. that was because the performance of the single h-board didn't meet the 25ghash -> they had to add another 25gh board in the kit)
fractal: jborkl: a 400Gh was advertised as "1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips"" -- this will not be shipped
Anduck: fractal: i don't see why.. the performance is met and it can be proven from the hashrate@power usage of the smaller hashrate miners
fractal: jborkl: Its not irrelvant since its in the bet.... UNIT means a single device
jurov: for the same price?
jurov: or they did order and got 2 boxes instead?
jborkl: the word "units" in the bet is irrevelvant
fractal: Anduck: if i recall logs correctly, mircea_popescu stated a 400gh device would have to be proven.... i'll have to check logs again tho.
Anduck: mircea_popescu: the thing bfsb sold
Anduck: mircea_popescu: will there be needed a 400 gh unit delivered?
jborkl: power is less than 400 and hash rate is at least 400
fractal: Anduck: No, punin said they need to change hardware and it will be done on the next batch -- but not before september 1
mircea_popescu: jborkl that's the stated intention. nobody has yet come forward having received a 400gh order
Anduck: mircea_popescu: it doesn't really matter since the customers get what they were promised. and in the future they might be able to turn their miners for even powerful miners with software update
jborkl: they bet is a yes then
fractal: jborkl: yes, but thats not what the language of the bet said.
Anduck: the performance of the h-boards itself will be most likely fixed by software, still
jborkl: and they are going to provie customers with 400 gh as promised for the 350w draw?
fractal: Anduck: they can't fit 20h-boards on a 400gh unit..... a 400gh unit can fix 16h-cards maximum.... hence UNIT
Anduck: mircea_popescu: theyre underhashing most likely due to the quality of the fab and software
Anduck: if bfsb shipped 20 h-boards for the 400gh unit, it would draw only 360 watts. and it'd provide 400gh
fractal: jborkl: There is no 400Gh device....
mircea_popescu: why are they underhashing anyway ? any word from manufacturer ?
jborkl: how many watts is it going to take to do 400gh with said device?
johnnyfootball: get with the program
fractal: Anduck: That is not what was advertised. What was advertised was not met. 400Gh was not achived with the hardware, so they had to re-imburse customers at their own expense --- I knew they would miss these targets, which is why i bet NO
Anduck: atleast my 68 ghash at 53 W _from the wall_
kleeck: I think there's only one solution to this. Duel to the death!
Anduck: the 400gh miner performs 400 gh at the promised watts.
Anduck: and as the 400 gh units are built from same h-boards as 25 gh units, it's clear that 400 gh @ 400 watt performance is met like the 25gh @ 40W is met
fractal: A miner is as advertised ""1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips""
fractal: Anduck: No, performance is not met. The 400Gh miner does not perform 400Gh.
Anduck: the units that customers get do have the performance of 25gh at 40 watts max
Anduck: the performance is met.. performance of the unit: hashrate @ power usage
fractal: Again, 1 unit was advertised as "1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips"
fractal: Anduck: they are shipping additional hardware because performance was NOT met
fractal: Anduck: thats why they're shipping additional hardware. Why would they send more hardware then promised if performance is met? They woudln't.
Anduck: and the performance is absolutely met
Anduck: fractal: wasn't about advertised hardware... it was about the performance
fractal: Anduck: for the bet to be yes, "1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips" has to exist -- and it doesn't
Anduck: well mircea_popescu.. wasn't that kinda clear? if there's no cap of s.dice at mpex, it's same as zero cap
fractal: Anduck: and the 400Gh miner includes 16 H-bords -- AS ADVERTISED
Anduck: they missed specs of the h-board but not the kit/unit/miner
fractal: I hope you can understand this
fractal: They have to ship additional hardware SPECIFICALLY Because they missed advertised specs
fractal: Anduck: No, they didn't the units don't hit 400Gh as advertised --
Anduck: the units that were sold, they were 25gh unit and 400gh unit
Anduck: fractal: they didn't deliver the promised hardware, yes. but they delivered the promised performance of the units
Anduck: mircea_popescu: when s.dice dropped out of MPEX, the value was considered zero?
fractal: They weren't able to deliver this
fractal: UNIT. as in what was advertised -- From the website " What’s included: 1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips"
Anduck: mircea_popescu: that log you linked is about the s.dice vs s.mpoe bet?
fractal: Anduck: Thats not what the English on the bet says. It says the 400 Gh 'UNIT'
kleeck: Does bitbet need an arbiter of justice? I'd love that role... also the title.
Anduck: fractal: the bet was about promised performance, not about promised hardware
mircea_popescu: but that was hardly bringhing any solid points
mircea_popescu: kleeck there's also a very lulzy one on the forum and here from back in march. some guy named rikur and some other guy
fractal: From the website " What’s included: 1 Master board 16 hashing boards with 16 Bitfury 55nm ASIC chips for total of 256 chips"
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the lovers of history, here's a recent previous dispute http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2013&display=show#202828
