Topic: [ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe - page 87. (Read 250482 times)
I have payed two starter kits with august delivery, but soon is end of month and i think can't get roi. So what now? Can i ask for refund?
The good:
I'm back in Finland and testing has begun! I will ship first units tomorrow!
The bad:
Our preliminary tests show that the boards are falling a bit short on hashrate. This might be due to differences between wafers, immature software or SPI issues. Because we are in a hurry to ship, you win: I will ship your ordered hashrate regardless (ie. more hardware free of charge) until we fix this issue and can provide 400GH in one unit. We are thinking of producing a batch with higher core voltage, which will allow the chip to run faster, but this needs to be tested as well.
Thank you for your support!

Thank you for your hard work and update. I don't see a problem the way you handle this, you guys are already outstanding compared to your competition and keep surprising me
How short of hasrate are we? And what happens to the starter kits I wonder?
Thank you for you effort, punin. I appreciate it very much!
As for myself, I don't mind if the firmware is not perfect, or not hashing at best speed possible. As long as there is a way to update it later, I see no problem with that, even if it requires more elaborate toolkit (like JTAG). Keep up to your promises about shipping - the world of ASIC miner producers needs it badly.

The ugly:
Tomorrow I will be figuring out best way to pack these and continue tests, software development and debugging. Softare is still heavily under development, and is not very user friendly. We push hard to make it more user friendly this week.
Our first orders were from Finland and I know many of these customers from IRC, so I asked if it was ok to ship with unfinished software, and they agreed. So stay tuned for first user reports
I apologize for radio silence on communication front. I just don't have the time and energy now for updates every day, and have no time to go through the amount of email I'm getting. I push hard to keep my word and ship before end of month, and it's taking all my time. I'll go back to e-mails and PMs after that.

^sounds good, was actually hoping the boards would be shipped by now, but who isnt?!
is 24hrs really needed to determine the board quality? I would imagine 6hrs to be more than sufficient to get a few thousand accepted shares and see whats going on.

Here is a post from Dave

Which might be a risky assumption. It really would be good to have an answer on that. If no answer comes i would take it as that he wont reinvest. I mean it would have helped from the start when he stated reinvestments.
Does this security has a spokesperson other than tytus? He was logged in yesterday but didnt post anything since 1 and 1/4 months now.
I never really clarified that the reason I started updating this thread is due to a conversation I had with Tytus. He was/is so busy, I suggested that I would keep you all informed. So I guess I'm the spokesperson for now on this forum anyway. Tytus still posts the picostocks reports.
Status of boards - as I noted before, final design bugs are ironed out and boards are in production. Due to delays, we've increased the hashpower we will commit to this mine to 200TH. I'm waiting to get a shipping notice from the factory - the first boards should be headed my way in 24 - 48 hours by my estimate, but I can only wait for them to ship. Well, that and send multiple emails per day to the US VP sales. First boards will be run for 24 hours or so in order to weed out underperforming or non-performing boards - this will all be sent to the mine. After the August retail units are shipped, remaining boards will begin to accumulate hashpower for the mine. I think we can put up 200TH in 30 days, but it remains to be seen what challenges there are.
The delays gave me an opportunity to jump on something for the datacenter without introducing future downtime to the mine. I went ahead with the plan to double the power service to the building, which completed last week. This provides quite a lot of power - 2400 amps of 208v (theoretically supporting about 500kW). I have about 1500 amps routed out onto the floor now. This extra power will give me some room to push the AC systems (25 tons) to the limit and see where we can max out temps. I can add AC once I get a better sense of where the operational temperature ceiling is.

And I am almost sure he will. Therefore the shares are not over valued.

I think you are pretty close on your estimate of total starter kits sold (globally), but we sold far less full kits. Figure about 50-60 full kits for August delivery worldwide.
any news ... about the august delivery? 
Why do you ask, when the answer is in the previous message?
because at this point, it would be nice (and/or comforting) to get regular updates every day, or even a few per day if things are moving well.
during the next 3-10 days, we should be seeing all of these various announcements:
- H-boards arrive in US/UK
- pictures of assembly
- final word on m-board revisions that are to ship
- perhaps a better 2nd shipping option that is 25 < $ < 199
- shipping timeframe
- glory pictures of many THash in orders at various assembly points
I am sure that the lack of updates could mean they are focusing on timeframe and getting these out the door rather then focus on internet gossip and minor updates, but i'd love to know if i can start getting excited to see my order marked 'shipped' today, this week, next week, or in two weeks(tm)

Niko is back in Finland, shipments should start next week (its sunday night in Finland atm.) This info is extracted from a finnish bitcoin forum.

that photo would be a heck of a lot more awesome if we saw more then the blur of fan LEDs!
Little more details:
So how many devices will be shipped in this August batch?

for the starter kit it makes no sense to choose express. shipping to central europe is about 4 business days.
I suppose, you got an order number. If you have any, you can buy UPS Express Shipping and in the notes you have to write your order number. I upgraded to express shipping but now my calculations show that in the worst case scenario, standard shipping will add 4 days delay which is about 1BTC and express shipping costs about 1.6 BTC (incl. VAT).
EDIT: My order is for the starter kit. For the full kit, UPS Express Shipping upgrade will be nice, because 4 days will be about 16 BTC at current dificulty.
