kakobrekla: >Yep, I've been working on it this afternoon. It's almost done and will be posted soon. I've tried to answer all the questions that have been asked so far and I don't think I've missed anything.
kakobrekla: >>Inaba, According to a couple of your posts in the BFL forums, there was going to be some kind of announcement from BFL, either today or tomorrow which should add some clarity to the current situation. Is this still true?
pigeons: "I believe so much in bitcoin that I wear this fucking button each day" --micon

mircea_popescu: dub i agree the entire volume is tiny
pigeons: i made enough money to buy mcdonalds but i pissed it away so fast
dub: fear not, he has withdrawn half the balance from such and such exchange to secure a badly cooked steak against further loss
dub: hard to take srsly, all this detailed info and analysis about enough money to buy mcdonalds
mircea_popescu: the guy seems pretty on the ball tbh.
jurov: yea, brace ur. exactly this thing is going to invest into mpex and operate a pt ;)
mircea_popescu: i take it glbse really fucked things up for people.
mircea_popescu: then i got to the table. deprived's fund made 20% in an interval ltc/btc went in his favour 50%
mircea_popescu: i was reading this otherwise very impressive thing
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
dub: we could have got a rabbit to pick glbse stocks for a fund and see if it did better than usagi
jurov: or a reason to get a cat
thestringpuller: kakobrekla: you in the chip building business?
mircea_popescu: duide that's caulk
kakobrekla: that sticks the usbs to the side
mircea_popescu: please tell me thats not plumbing material ?
kakobrekla: and also that thing
mircea_popescu: omg wtf is that
dub: I actually dont have a problem with that
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu note the hot glue errywhere
kakobrekla: registers will be added in the next fail
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla what about that ?!
dub: for superior thermal profile
kakobrekla: not with the hot glue used.
mircea_popescu: but they're also 10 to 1% of the actual cost of delivering a finished product.
mircea_popescu: so now here's the thing : your 500-1mn per wafer run costs are correct,
thestringpuller: everything that has a beginning has an end
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it was small, i wasn't there when it started up and it meanwhile folded
mircea_popescu: he's happy with 50 cents per copy and his name on the cover.
mircea_popescu: and the great advantage of the printing business is that you don't need to pay the author at all.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: how much was the printing firms start up costs, and how long have they been in operation?
mircea_popescu: but usually the printing cost was <10% of the book.
mircea_popescu: every given run cost between 20k and i think at most i ever signed off on a 95k typo bill.
mircea_popescu: yes. here's the thing : i was for a time working with a printing business.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla what are those numbers ?
kakobrekla: >>physical verification (i.e. I give to physical verification engineer design + test vectors) - is about $30k and 1 month delay - but that dramatically reduces failure chances.
kakobrekla: >>the difference is pretty high and so risks of failure - 150nm - $80k, 130nm - $200k, 90nm - $400k, 65nm - $800k - to get sample round. but with 90nm - it is 120 TH/s just in single engineering shot.
mircea_popescu: by about a degree of magnitude at the least.
mircea_popescu: Namworld i don't think a couple million is enough funds
kakobrekla: i know for 2 more people that have enough funds, without taking preorders in the public
Namworld: But they had enough funds to get an ASIC developed.
Namworld: Although I seriously doubt their specs
thestringpuller: It's like a futures on their delivery date...
Namworld: But if one is to deliver ASICs, that would be BFL.
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.
mircea_popescu: im curious if it breaks the 1000
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bugpowder pm.
mircea_popescu: lol. perfect for a two weeks rope&whips vacation.
