mjr_: somewhere in
that range
Namworld: See, it's
topace buying for his havelock bidders
mjr_: thats what i was
thinking
topace_: just releasing
the shares i bougt on mpex into havelock
Namworld: Topace, is
that you doing
this?
Bowjob: not
that surprise 0.44
Bowjob: erik
thats how you launch
gesell: just have
to
think about what
gesell: okay, im going
to go open a complain
thread on reddit
assbot: You know, I've had it up
to here with
this Indian malarkey.
assbot: The vision of Christ
that
thou dost see ... is my vision's greatest enemy.
mjr_: someone is
trying
to scoop up
the market orders after it runs out :) smart
Namworld: because people don't have
time
to enter a price
Namworld: there will be so many bids being put market price, price will skyrocket
to 0.1 BTC per share
topace_: so is everyone going
to place
their bids last minute?
leotreasure: i managed
to get 15 minutes off class
time for
this
tranche :)
jurov: ftfy: mircea_popescu
turns off mpex website in an attempt
to emulate mtgox performances.
Diablo-D3: so has someone started an evoorhees scam
thread yet?
error4733: Hey Evoorhees. Popcorn is ready ! Up
to you
topace_: [20:52:32] Ukyo pokes
topace_
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu:
the BFL design is atrocious
though
[\\\]: only its
their own page making all of
the requests.
Diablo-D3: even if a single shard fails, you can
take it out and replace it
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu:
thats really clever of
them
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: its a bunch of
tiny boards
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I
thought it was A board, its not
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: without having
the board infront of me and a full suite of electrical diagnostic
tools, Im going
to have
to say
they did
the right
thing
Namworld: Any LTC-GLOBAL shareholders in here having reviewed one of
the MPEx pass-throughs with a NO/ABSTAIN, requesting more information?
Diablo-D3: and
those caps are probably
there
to make sure flip/flop power usage doesnt kill
the VRM
Diablo-D3: and probably overkill for what
they need
Diablo-D3: the VRMs
they use dont need heatsinks as
they're probably 120c industrial/enterprise grade VRMs
Diablo-D3: and
then sealed
the heatsink into it
Diablo-D3: so
they coated it in non-conducting ceramic paste
Diablo-D3: which radiates heat out
the other side of
the board
Diablo-D3: they probly have an extra
thick copper grounding plane in
the board
Diablo-D3: most likely
those are flip chip packages, so
the heat is actually facing into
the board
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: look how
the board is assembled
Diablo-D3: sticky aluminum heatsinks on
the shit
the heatpipe doesnt cover, and
the folded heatpipe design on
the asics
Diablo-D3: the asics will be identical in design
to
those
Bugpowduur: well, I will defer
to your judgement Diablo-D3
Diablo-D3: mjr_:
they released fpgas, not asics
Diablo-D3: trying
to work around it with a off
the shelf heatpipe heatsink doesnt fix it
Diablo-D3: (or if
they have
the fan reversed, it STILL causes hot spots)
Diablo-D3: instead of straight
through airflow, it slams against
the board causing hot spots
Diablo-D3: seriously, what in holy fuck was wrong with BFL when
they chose
those coolers?
Diablo-D3: everything is in
the right place, and it has proper cooling
Bugpowduur: but... with
that first mover reward structure.... ugly wins
Diablo-D3: Bugpowduur: I dunno, I
think
the avalon board is a work of art
Bugpowduur: The BFL board IS much prettier
than
the avalon board
Diablo-D3: I already looked into
this about a year ago, couldnt get anywhere with it because GPUs dont have native booleans
Diablo-D3: tuned for
the native integer width of
the hardware
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: like, you know how we check H==0?
thats actually a form of very basic sat solving
jurov: yes, my
thought is BNF is
too big and won't fit
to GPU
Diablo-D3: jurov: btw,
the biggest chip? its probably a hardcopy babysitter design
Diablo-D3: also, lol Puppet
tried
to attack me in
the asicminer
thread
Diablo-D3: oh,
the never shipping bfl board??
truffles: there should be a countdown clock on
this next wave
Diablo-D3: didnt
they just rip a MIPS board out of a wifi AP?
mjr_: oh yeah, do you guys
think fpga's will still be useful?
gesell: but
the FTDI chip for USB
to Serial is common for communicating with microelectronics (see an old arduino) so its placement close
to U11 (the largger unmarked chip) makes me
think
this would be
the cpu are, but who knows
Ukyo: at least
they are using solid state caps :P
Bugpowduur: mjr_: someone is a bit optimistic about
that arb opp
mircea_popescu: gesell what gets me is
that it's oriented AGAINST
the missing chips
gesell: the arm socket
throws me off
gesell: not sure what
to make of it
gesell: was allso looking at
the booard a while back
gesell: but based on
the design i would guess a processor
to manage
the array of whatever chips are missing
gesell: mircea_popescu:
the markings are scraped off
Ukyo: the big black swuare next
to
the power?
mircea_popescu: i don't know much about electronics, but anyone explain what
the
top chip is ?
mjr_: i mean,
the only way
to measure
the appreciation is against something else
mjr_: but
they
themselves don't give either...you could invest in a bond like namworld's and get interest, or you could invest in a stock like S.DICE which offers dividends
mjr_: they can appreciate in relation
to another currency
