mjrIII: well, until my FPGA mining comes on line, I need to get in now
mircea_popescu: I realise that there are some ppl that allready invested in asic and fpga, but ton off ppl are unsatisfied with this.
mircea_popescu: "Would it be even remotely possible to force the change in sha256 bitcoin algorith to something else that asic and fpga devices couldnt compute?
topace: im okay with them being scams, my fpga's keep plugging along
pigeons: ok he erased the post where he was selling his fpga chips off
mod6: i was thinking with the way that the fpga could be reprogrammed on the fly, it could be used in an elastic environment
dub: fpga has is an array of various logic units that can operate in a number of ways, you give it a program of sorts telling it what you want them to behave and route between each other
mircea_popescu: a fpga is more like an old flashable bios
mod6: im talking about the same thing as the guy was trying to sell from BTC FPGA
mircea_popescu: asics != fpga in any way
mod6: and in a distributed network you could have a cloud of fpga's
dub: mod6: not afaik, you're thinking fpga?
kakobrekla: thestringpuller, i was helping fizzisist at the start with fpga, then i was workin with bitfury for a while to get his last batch out and now im also working for ET/TML in a way
Namworld: Well, considering the large amount of preorders and that they pulled off making an FPGA... I know making an ASIC is incredibly harder and expensive.
Bugpowder: oh... its an FPGA single
Anduck: fpga or fpga?
thestringpuller: I plan to buy a bunch of fpga's for pennies on the dollar
topace: fpga hardcopy ? its kinda in the middle between fpga and asic
PsychoticBoy: 200 FPGA.CONTRACT shares
JWU_42: and saw they are rebuying (or he) fpga stuff at $.20 on the dollar
thestringpuller: just because someone can deploy a bitstream to an FPGA doesn't mean they can print a mask, and build an IC from it
mircea_popescu: B0g4r7 something like, +1-200k on fpga, +2ish mn from vc +3ish mn from pre-orders -.5 mn for expenses -2ish mn for failed run -.8mn for refunds
B0g4r7: I wonder what the BFL books look like. I understand they only caught up on FPGA orders long after they started taking asic money.
B0g4r7: I thought an FPGA Single was $599...
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> wtf. another mining hashrate company with a pretend backing of 1 single bfl fpga? << those won't go away lol.
midnightmagic: wtf. another mining hashrate company with a pretend backing of 1 single bfl fpga?
dub: break even on bfl fpga single is ~12M diff with .22 power
Doffx: Im happy I got ROI on my FPGA devices at least.
mircea_popescu: CGMINER GPU FPGA overc monit fanspd RPC stratum linux/windows/osx/mip/r-pi 2.9.5 59
abracadabra: sounds like fpga story?
Lyspooner: from BFL apparently: ""We'll notify you at least a week before your order is ready and you can send your FPGA in. We are working on a way to cross ship you the device, so you don't have any downtime. It will probably involve you sending us BTC for the amount of the device and we'll refund the BTC when we get your FPGA unit back."
dub: no but its just producing a hardware fpga
thestringpuller: I'm assuming full FPGA setup
dub: FPGA will be lower than that
thepulledstring: i could build an fpga more quickly
thestringpuller: I used the campus labs to make a test FPGA
boonies4u: you mean the FPGA's that currently exist are a scam?
boonies4u: anyone willing to lend me the difference between my 99 btc and the total cost of two BFL FPGA singles?
boonies4u: I am afraid of waiting 3 weeks for an FPGA to get here, as I burn through coins
boonies4u: if they aren't making ASICs, I'll be stuck with an FPGA
Diablo-D3: now, it could be a sasic 45nm, but then you're basic to having a shit inefficient design not much better than a 45nm fpga
BTC-Mining: So we were making money while accumulating funds for FPGA/ASICs
boonies4u: I hope it comes back online... or i'm gonna have to buy an FPGA
boonies4u: sounds like i'm gonna have to buy a FPGA

mircea_popescu: i thought he had about 40% in gpus and about 90% in fpga ?
PsychoticBoy: 1 x5000 fpga
BTC-Mining: and for the few actual companies, they have GPU. Untransferable to FPGA/ASIC.

midnightmagic: No, because GPU + fpga + cpu + 5 asic vendors can all adapt.
Diablo-D3: oh, you mean the fpga
assbot: [GLBSE] [FPGA.CONTRACT] 2 @ 0.0616 = 0.1232 BTC [-]
BTC-Mining: It would actually be more lucrative to do it that way. Suppose you need 50$ to produce something, sell it 100$. You can run away with 100$ and not produce anything. Or offer an upgrade, get back the 50$ product, mine bitcoins with it. Keep the 50$ and ask for 100$ for an upgrade which doesn't exists. You now have a free FPGA mining farm +150$ + extra ASIC orders
BTC-Mining: And you only get half off on trade ins so need to pay the FPGA price in full again to get your ASIC...
BTC-Mining: He gets paid the FPGA price twice

gigavps: fpga's have spoiled me
Doffx: The fpga have been a lot better than the gpus almost no maintenance to run
Doffx: Replaced my gpu with fpga, replacing m fpga with asic.
BTC-Mining: Most have negative profit strictly because they IPOed right before FPGA then ASIC news.
