And full kit orders get 2 kits then?

Oh - I'm really excited now.  Will you be doing the same, Dave?

Starter kits benefit the most, as we are putting 2 H-cards in until we have achieved sustained noncerate (useful nonces) of over 25GH/s on one card.

I believe ghash.io is using bitfury's own designed miners and not those developed by c-scape for tytus (i.e. 100TH mine, BFSB and MBP projects).

This is an update from punin's/bitfurystrikesback thread. Not sure if this has any impact on Dave's/megabigpower, but it seems likely that it does.

Update time!

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.

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.

Thank you for your support!

Can someone explain what this 200 TH farm is about?  can we buy shares of it? Or it's buzzdave's private money tree

those 35% difficulty increases are really scary, especially considering the bulk of the hashpower hasnt even come online yet.

Thanks, I don't have an August order, but am interested in seeing who delivers as promised because it will impact my future purchases.

So far, I have high hopes for BitFury and KncMiner, but Avalon and BFL are dead to me...

As stated in that post, Dave is trying real hard to keep the shipping estimation to August 31st, a little before or a little after is to be expected. So far I think they are right in line with what he wanted to do, accounting for the board fiasco in China I would say they have performed excellently. I have an August order placed on the day that post was made. I expect my order sometime in early Sept. No one ever said your order will be on you door on August 31st. But they have done an excellent job of keeping a fairly tight schedule. Please dont read this post condescending, that is not the purpose. Im just trying to answer the question the best I can.

Regards

Are all the orders for August delivery actually going to ship in the next 6 days?

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.

Update

I've added option for UPS Express Saver shipping, and dropped the prices a bit as further october orders will most likely ship in very late october. Those who picked first october orders are likely to receive theirs in very early october, if not september.

Any spares are likely to go to the 100200TH mine.
91.34TH/s and rising every day
