And, if I decide to take the difficulty insurance (if it rises by that much) and order a second unit at half price.  Where does the second unit go into the waitlist?  Will I get it with my original unit that was ordered, or will it be tacked on at the end of the waiting list?

+1

Maybe we could also address these concerns on their forum: https://www.xcrowd.co.uk/forum/

Also, what happens if I need to change the address that I chose for shipping?  I am moving into an apartment here in a couple months and will still have access to the original shipping address at dear ol mom and dads, but if I want to change it to the new destination is that possible?

Without a manufacturer and more details I can't in good conscience keep you on the list.  I wish I had asked if this information was planned on being released earlier.

Not sure of what you were referring to in your previous question. Foundry?
Yes, who will actually be making the chips after they are designed?

Hi xcrowd,

I sent an email about changing my order.. I haven't heard back yet - I know you must be flat out, but i have seen a lot of replies to Forum posts while I have been waiting.

In the same boat, and would like to change my order while saving my order number.

I got a question.  Does the 10% premium when you do the 30% deposit method goes to you right away?

Only 30% of the 10% premium will be part of the initial 30% deposit. For example; on a $1098 Elysium (10% premium included) you would only have to deposit $99 now instead of the extra $330 added.
im not clear.  My question is making sure that no funds whatsoever go to you before shipping.  Yes or no?  Also probably a quick post by John k confirming things would be good too.

That is what I was thinking as well, could we get John K. to post a quick reply stating that he is in fact in coherts to provide escrow responsibilities for these transactions?

These units are still useless man, by the time you get them they are completely useless, how stupid can you people be???

The 1.2TH unit with December 1st, Delivery will give you a rate of return of -$2,000
Settings for mining.theblockchain.com since the links stop working usually.

1200
3000 watts
$13500 with taxes, shipping

The unit you are talking about is 8k not 13.5k. I don't know where you get 13.5k from

So Olympus is

Unit Dimensions:  W65"xH60"xD25"

that is in metric: wide 165cm, height 152cm, depth 63cm - good old mainframe times come to my mind.. where big "boxes with fans" did "something" and it was cool Smiley

Here's a tough question.

XC offers hosted mining, only $44k & $5k a month. 30% down in escrow, of course.

Now, explain to me how the customer will ever know that they've actually delivered the unit.

All of this could be a beard for the hosting scam. Why are the hosting prices so incredibly high? To catch whales, of course.

You simply tell whale his device is hashing, send a few BTC to his wallet of choice as if it were part of a pool share, get him to release the escrow (multi-sig allows this without need for the escrow agent to even agree) and bam. Conned.

Watch out. We still have no idea who is behind Xcrowd, who the principals are, who's speaking on this account. I can't believe anyone has given them any money without that sort of forthrightness right away.

its pretty easy to prove hosting.  Make it solo mine and the coins will be newly generated.

I was looking for the pre-order list thread, is there anyone?

I placed and order #220

Hope Xcrowd release soon all the Escrow details and all the doubts everyone has, this looks very promising.

I wish this isn't another "Too good to be true"

Hello!
Is the site http://xcrowd.ecwid.com for payment Xcrowd's devices?

Yep basically it is. None of my money will be in anyone's hands besides John K. Worst case scenario is I lose .5-1% of my deposit to an escrow fee. How is this not better than most of the other big name asic companies surfacing?

Well I mean we do know who they are. Look back a few pages there is plenty of doxxing going on. If you don't want to rely on hosting then just use escrow and have the product delivered? Doesn't seem very complicated.
One guy, whom the writer of the Xcrowd account claims is not himself. Thus, we don't know. Also he claims a team of people working with him. No idea who they are either.

You guys seem to think escrow is some magic word. Good luck to you.

Although you've clearly have an agenda yourself
I'm not sure extreme skepticism and wariness due to you being incredibly guarded about who you are and thus failing to establish trust with the community counts as 'agenda.'

your point does makes sense. That would be a possible concern for hosted customers and we will put the right assurances in place to make sure there isn't a possibility of that happening.
K. Like what.

However,we either have a working ASIC by the time we get paid or we don't and I doubt we'd be interested in a few 1xx,xxx's when we're actually shipping hundreds of TH's.
