Well this took a lot longer than I expected. I’m certainly no stranger to a screwdriver but it’s been about a decade since I’ve wielded a soldering iron. I wanted to take the BFL ASIC apart on camera for you guys but I also wanted the commentary to be meaningful and while I’m not a [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, just a few minutes ago Butterfly Labs revealed what I believe is the first picture of their new ASIC Single Case. I’ve been privy to some renders but much like you this is my first time seeing the actual physical case. Tip With Bitcoin12SvSReV3ip2wmGvBHoqCXoewm67CWTFeaEach post gets its own unique Bitcoin address so [...]
I’ve been getting a lot of attention lately thanks to a certain little black box I recently received. This isn’t my first rodeo and I’m used to getting attention from time to time – what I’m not used to is doing interviews, and there have been quite a few lately. The first one to air [...]
These Sunday Morning G+ hangouts are getting me out of bed waaaay too early – they’re starting to feel like being dragged to church as a child. That said, I will be there at 9:00AM Pacific time and this time in addition to the standard Q&A I’ve also got an ASIC to show off. I [...]
Well everyone, it’s been a long hard road to this point but I can finally officially say without a shadow of a doubt that the Butterfly Labs ASIC miners exist. I know this because I’ve got one sitting next to my laptop happily hashing away as I type these words. Tip With Bitcoin15tfMpTskyZYWZQPZs4y64FCCSsf59UbXPEach post gets [...]
It’s no secret which side of the Butterfly Labs love/hate fence I fall – I think they’re great guys who make good products. I talk to Sonny and Josh pretty regularly and eagerly await the release of their ASIC product line, but even I have to call a duck a duck: BFL is terrible with [...]
I spent most of the day on Tuesday chatting with the folks from BitPay and Butterfly Labs at the Bitcoin booth at CES. There was a little news, a lot of fun, and plenty of interest in Bitcoin from passing businesses and end users alike. What wasn’t there was a good camera and a studio, [...]
It’s been a slow couple of months here at Coding In My Sleep – between the Bitcoin world taking a much-needed breather (read: nothing much happened) and my personal life exploding/imploding (read: bought a house) I have not been my usual post-a-day self. Well today I break that streak: I’m heading to the 2013 International [...]
As many in the Bitcoin community are well aware, Butterfly Labs is on the verge of releasing a new line of ASIC-based Bitcoin mining devices. For a long time we’ve been seeing mockups and renders of PCBs and cases (like the one to the left). Recently Bitcoin Magazine published the first pictures of populated circuit [...]
As the actual release of their ASIC line grows nearer, the one thing you can’t really say of Butterfly Labs is that they don’t know how to tease an audience. Every time the chatter on the forums, IRC, reddit and elsewhere dies down, they let fly with another little tidbit of information or a product [...]
