Complete overpromise and underdeliver!!!!

I'm just waiting for the next excuse to come up and it being delayed another month(s)

Could be much worst, You could have ordered a dcr1 obelisk and got rekt. No delivery, no product, 1 year delays, negative profitability. USA companies struggle to compete with china companies for delivering mining products.

It has been a while since I checked this thread... LOL What is going on here!!!
Even the so called legit guys these days cannot deliver.

It is sad they do not have the full software as promised.

Won't matter much if it comes out it is Jan vs Aug and the prices have dropped a ton.

Mine look cool just sitting on my desk. They run so quiet too, no errors, 10000MH/s stand alone. Its a wonder these didn't come out sooner. Oh yeah they did!, I think they were called "Pet Rock" not Acorns

Just went to discord
and no software as of today
[...random ramblings...]
that was copy paste of last 4 hours of messages from sqls acorn discord

i believe the last more or less official statement (made just before Christmas?) was not to expect any official statements or timelines until Jan 2nd. only a skeleton crew on the sqrl discord right now.

yeah and I ordered a m10 31 th at 2200 watts for 870 shipped to USA due in 6 days

which is no big deal but I had spent 794 in squirrel gear. I was lucky to get a refund. Before btc dropped.

I feel for those waiting on this gear/software

for your previous question @Honja it would fully accelerate two GPUs, sometimes the others may be affected but it would average out to 2/6 cards accelerated
SQRL_MeatlegsToday at 10:00 AM
Being completely transparent with you Honja, I would wait until the accompanying software (SQRL miner) is released. No doubt there will be reviews, as it stands just now, the acorns can only be used for standalone mining on zen protocol.
Just wanting to temper your expectations there :smiley:

The Acorn to GPU ratio will vary by algorithm as well, as the data rate requirements will differ algo to algo as different parts and proportions will be offloaded to the FPGA to compute in real time.

What is Acorn? How does Acorn work? What CPU do I need? Can I load my own bitstreams on Acorn? Get all the answers for cryptocurrency mining with Acorn.

The main selling point would be the low power draw of the device vs a gpu.
and that there is no public software for it yet ti mine in conjunction with gpus
The hardest part for most people is meeting the data speed requirements for how connected the acorn and gpu is
as mining hardware currently trades away that very stat to allow for more devices to be used at once

All the fear about the FPGAs kicking out the "normal" at home miner guys....

Back then a GTX 1080 Ti had 15 MH/s ... now its a GTX 1070 reaching that hashrate.

Are your accelerationrates from june still up to date or was the gap closed by better miner software like t-rex for X16r e.g.?
Any statements to current acceleration values for X16R?

*eating popcorn*

Soon^TM

ill answer your troll.

i shut down my gpus a couple weeks ago, they are just losing money at this point. so all those miner improvements for gpus are moot to me, they all lose money. only mining with acorns and a bcu1525 right now.

x16r is supposed to be available for the bcus in january. who know really though. sqrl acorn gpu boost miner? soon? maybe.

i also have faith that the sqrl team will deliver new bitstreams and the sqrl gpu boost miner. is that misplaced faith? perhaps. but until then, i also have popcorn.

BR, I wasn't calling you out for any sort of BS. I was more just trying to understand your view and your argument. I am hopeful for mining, I may be wrong, I just don't happen to have a crystal ball.

PM me if you haven't, I have some questions that would be better addressed via PMs.

Yes actually I’d love to see it happen. (Not for me of course) More people are getting burnt the longer this drags on. What they didn’t know was this is par for the course in crypto. At some point this isn’t alpha tech. FPGA been out many years. As with the software to mine on these Algos. Many things went wrong here. Unproven claims were made and advertised. Do I think they need sued. No. I honestly think this was well intentioned but to those of us that have seen this time and time again well.... I guess it’s my bad for projecting onto them what I thought they should have known. Next time instead of assuming they have been in this scene for a minute we all should have asked the proper questions. Like Phil said mfurman asked the hard questions. That should have set of many red flags for you folks. A hard lesson learned seems to stick with one the best. “Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me”!

BR

I agree about the 'drama queen' aspect of Crypto. But anyone who has ever done tech support of any kind, and done it well, knows about what a vast time suck technology can present.

However, I fall on the side of "they are well-intentioned," this isn't a scam, but yes it is late. If you want to raise constructive red flags in the future, I think that is a good thing to do. But with so many real scams out there, why go after a project where you suspect the people behind it are well-intentioned? I don't quite follow that. Of all the targets you could pick, why this particular one?

He has spoken about other ones not this just this one.
He has been pretty much anti mining in general for years.

Phil
What I’m “anti” is bullshit. Remember the days of you shilling for bitmain. I kept asking why you kept promoting a company that was extremely harmful to this whole project. Course I was the bad guy for shitting on your way to make a few bucks. This meant more to me than just making a few bucks. (Yea that’s a good part of it but truth is far more worth than what this could ever be valued in paper) I have a longing for truth. The way the world works manifested by capitalism make a logical reasonable person go crazy. Maybe that’s the point. Sales are easier when the people are ignorant. I did speak out against ASICS for sia. But after realizing this is supposed to be a “free” market I said hey let’s let them have what they want. Now we can all see how that played out. Crypto is like running a company with 1000 bosses all have a brilliant idea of how the company should work. Now let’s find consensus. Seriously. I feel like such the fool.

Willj

Well intentioned in the idea of bringing fpga to the smaller guy.(later to find it was all smoke and mirrors) I sure as hell wouldn’t dump 5k on a graphics card. Well intentioned in trying to step on the big guys that can dump a million on ASICS gpu fpga etc. some semblance of decentralization. (They won’t bother messing with this kids stuff) Like I’ve said and I’ll say it again. Unequal resources tariffs etc will cause crypto to centralize into the hands of those it’s thought to defend against. Yes I’d expect a reasonable critical thinking society to disregard this as nothing more than a “hype” ledger;). It duped me too. What bitcoin solves isn’t for the masses it’s for the rich and powerful. Less middle men so that we aren’t needed. Is that it? Is that the end goal? Robots can’t question authority. Remember this folks. Where do you want your future to end up. Something to think about! What’s more logical? Millions having our own personal robot assistants Or millions of robots owned by one? Leaving people hang out to dry What greed does is clouds you to the fact that we do have to share this planet. I suspect within the next twenty years greed will be looked upon with the same disgust as cancer. Of course my idealistic world and those blinded by capitalism have a long way to go before meeting in the middle. Anyway willj. I’ll say that was quite the contradictory statement I made. I’ll do better next time! Thanks for calling me out. That’s how people make the most significant changes in their life. Being called out for their BS!

Mining hardware pre-orders aren't very fairly compared to video game sale pre-orders.

Anyways, Acorns are a proven working item for solo mining, so I am still confident that they will be GPU assist mining as well. With the downturn in the market who knows how long the ROI may be, but that's something that applies to all mining hardware in the past 6 months.
