Hrm, if friedcat sent me one to keep, I'd get DiabloMiner working with it I bet.

... software? ... Smiley
So to repeat this question with, I guess, more info, coz it wasn't obvious what I meant (and no one replied) Smiley

What software are you using?

I think they are still sticking with the plan to write their own software for the first batch, then provide some software developers with a board to help develop software for the masses

Friedcat: Have you guys thought about mining software yet ? Will you develop that in-house or get supported by CGMiner for instance ?

Don't know if that part can be started before the actual product is in your hands ? That will also take time I assume
We will make/customize our own version at first when the PCB design is finalized. After we publish the PCB interface to the community, and people make better open source software than ours, we will possibly switch.
Hmm - sounds just like BFL - before BFL changed their mind and said they would support software development of their ASIC.
Why am I not surprised? Tongue
Sorry for my bad communication of giving people the impression that we claim to write the software from scratch.

What in my mind was the scenario of our own deployment of our first batch of THashes when I replied the question. The software needs to be modified to adapt our hardware protocol and optimized for larger size of works from the network. This part would first be done with ourselves because it allows quicker iteration.

Since we don't sell our boards until later batches, and mere specification is not enough for other people to support our products with their software, we (Bitfountain side) talked about giving a small number of sample boards to the community for evaluation and development before we accept any orders. The final plan should be discussed among board members and approved by shareholders.

Edited with the right quote marks, as it was Friedcat who said it, not me

Update

It might bee too much work to keep the first post constantly up to date, but perhaps it would be good to remove obviously outdated information, such as the dates when mining will start?

Thanks
We are very sorry for the delay of chips delivery. The OP was initially created to raise funds. Now it should used for other purposes like general information. However, the current OP also serves as a detailed version of the contract. With GLBSE unable to recover the contract text, we ask for people to first quote it several times before we make a significant change to it.

any progress on the project itself? I'm just wondering why the foundry ia not giving any reliable estimates of when this will be done - even if there are magnitudes larger orders.
Yes. The wafer process is done layer by layer and we could see the progress on track. We began receiving software generated excel updates from the foundry bypassed through our foundry agent showing the production status almost every workday.

Nefario is supplying the asset info starting with the largest assets in descending order

So I guess Friedcat should get a userlist pretty soon

This is very good news!!!
Nice. We will keep people updated whenever we receive them.

It's rather close to the total shares in circulation before GLBSE was shut down. If there are no significant refusal or missing of claims, we truly admire the honesty of claimers as a whole.

If you are actually sent the GLBSE data you can even shame those who falsely made claims.
And you should. I hope all asset issuers publicly name all people who made false claims.

I second that... would be a really low person when someone tried to scam you even when you went so far to solve this issue...
It is in principle not able to 100% distinguish false claims with wrong claims caused by dynamic open orders and inaccurate memory. So we would rather not to make them open, especially that we don't have the right to publicize information with the owners want them be private.

Friedcat, any chance you received (part of) the list with asset information from Nefario ?

To all Gigaminers:

Late yesterday I received an asset holder list from GLBSE. Per the email received, the list may grow some more so it may not be the final list.

This is good news as it means step one is near completion. I will be working with counsel later today and possibly into next week to finalize the next steps and to clarify what has to be done and why.

Best regards,
gigavps

Seems like there is some progress  Grin

I got an email confirmation also, so thank you to friedcat and his team.

It seems as though they are really trying to do the right thing.

This is refreshing in the bitcoin world.

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
The total sum is a little over 150k, with some claims are ranges instead of accurate numbers. It's rather close to the total shares in circulation before GLBSE was shut down. If there are no significant refusal or missing of claims, we truly admire the honesty of claimers as a whole.

This data will be used if GLBSE fails to deliver us their version before we start to mine and pay our dividends. Of course, it is still much better that we could get the GLBSE data and we will never have to use it.

First of all, thank you for finding time to send the confirmation email. As for the honesty, it is worth noting that even if GLBSE fails to deliver information before you start mining, nobody (including dishonest people) can be sure that this information will not become available in the future, thus revealing any dishonesty.

Anyway, you should now focus on important jobs at hand - fab, packaging, PCBs, and programming. Shares and payouts can be worked on once chips are hashing.

friedcat... could you tell whats the result of all the claimed shares summarized? How honest were the claimer? Are way more claimed than sold or maybe even less for some reason?

I have to say... i tried the last days to contact nefario and to find his new address. Email, phone, different other phonenumbers from phonebook, messenger and so on. I wasnt successful. He didnt react in any way which i think is poor because stopping communication can only make things worse. I could understand if nefario dont want to read or hear anything anymore because all the hate he gets but giving up shouldnt be an option.

Anyway... im very glad that at last i had invested in asicminer. It seems to be the only issuer that tries to solve the problems even without nefario acting. Too bad that nefario is acting this way... i mean its not hard to give daily updates on the things he does. And its not cool to hear that some people that got a double payment even now didnt get an email with an address where to pay back the double payment.

I had 3 shares on glbse but haven't claimed any. I've been some time offline, not able to check the forum in depth. So, how am i suppose to prove that i am tha shareholder? Or i am just too late?

To any shareholders who haven't made claims yet, please report your shares to
([email protected]) with your e-mail address, your number of shares, and your
Bitcoin address.

The collection of claims could not last forever. We would in principle stop collecting
claims on forum time 23:59:59, Nov. 18th. Any claims after that should come with
very solid proof.

As stated here you have more than a hour to go... so write your e-mail with the amount of shares you own and a valid BTC address. IF you have any proof will be a plus.

I could see how my post might have looked like it was aimed at friedcat. My rant about scamming was not pointed at him.

Yes I would like email confirmation, that's all.

I apologize for any misconception.
