Oh ok you mentioned jj too but I'll send them to you
September 23, 2013, 01:11:35 PM
I thought that logistic were simple. Send them to me. I have given you my address. If you need it I can resend it to you.
But there seems to be a problem with JJ and me. I thought we agree on something and he things something else. I need to get in touch with him... So I will wait to get that sorted and send mail tomorrow... Time zone difference is a problem and for some unknown reason
I falling a sleep at 10pm behind a computer...

You will be buying boards from me. We (me and JJ) might buy some components together(if that will decrees the price) but I will make GB board in Slovenia. Chips will come to me so there is no point of sending them to JJ... JJ will only mount chips for north America the rest of the world is me...
I hope I will manage to write you a mail today(need to run to work and over the weekend we had a harvest in vineyard) so I can explain everything...
I was just curious as to what the logistics were. Take your time, the chips aren't even here yet. I hope I will manage to write you a mail today(need to run to work and over the weekend we had a harvest in vineyard) so I can explain everything...

After that we will need to order parts for boards to have everything ready when chips come. If anyone from batch 2 or 3 is ready to pay for board at this time that will help a lot with the price. You will receive details in the mail.
Forgive me if I seem slow, but is the plan to try to buy as many boards from JJ as a group to try to get a bulk discount? If so is there any indication as to what our (lucko's group buy) price per board will be?

Hi buyers!
I will be soon informing batch 1 buyers about payment. Since there were some chips exchanges could you all look at list in OP if you find yourself there. I might made I mistake. I don't think I did but it is possible.
Now I didn't post here yesterdays news. Board did worked but manually putting chips on the board is a nightmare... So we have hashing board but not tested with 16 chips. We have ordered assembly of the board so we will have it in 3 days. After that we will need to order parts for boards to have everything ready when chips come. If anyone from batch 2 or 3 is ready to pay for board at this time that will help a lot with the price. You will receive details in the mail.
BFL seems to be shipping on time so we will need to pay other 50% soon so I will also start to collect that. I think our payment date is less then 14 days away so get ready.
Now if anyone was planing to put chips on by himself please reconsider. Unless you have hi end professional equipment(much better then one that form have and he is making boards for living) it looks to be impossible to do it without destroying some chips.
Have a nice remainder of the weekend

OK some not so good news. Noting catastrophic but still not good... Boards are working on 3.3V side(new on this board) but problem is that it was not tested with chips(1V side) but that is the same as it was on Coinado so it should work.
This is important for thus who are planing to mount chips on by themselves. For pick and place machine is not a issue but when doing by hand it is.
First test of putting on chips failed. form tried to solder them on with two different reflow ovens. Balls on chips didn't malt. You would need heat from underside as well but didn't have reflow oven that would have this option.
Second test failed too. He tested with hot-air from underside. Destroyed some chips.
He thinks that cooling implemented in the board itself it to blamed. Seems the new massive groundplanes (not used on Coinado) are sucking too much heat away. So tomorrow he will test with heatingplate. It should work. But untill you succeed you can't say for sure.
So let all say: "Brake a leg tomorrow form"

form got the boards and he is testing staff... Hope we will be hashing tomorrow...

Let me guess.................was the instruction manual only printed in English?
I seen message that components were realised from customs yesterday. So with some luck form will have them today...Germany is probably the second hardest country to send staff to. Only Russia is harder...

Hi Lucko
Do you have any photos yet?
Believe it or not but boards are still not in Germany. We had some issues(German customs). Hopefully they will be there on Wednesday and we will have board hashing day later... Do you have any photos yet?

Still hunting for 8 chips from batch 1 if anyone is looking to sell. Please pm me - thanks!

I don't like the wording of this letter. Maybe this is how the purchase agreement was framed and we don't have a choice. But it really says nothing about them being on time.
".....seven days or less until your chip order is scheduled to ship. Not READY to ship? Not CAN be shipped?
"Once we have confirmed receipt of the wire transfer, we will add your order into the queue for processing."
Not SHIP YOUR ORDER? Queue for processing what? The factory will ship the order won't it?
But maybe we have to pay prior to the "scheduled" shipping date.
I would suggest that before we pay, we ask for commitment to shipping date. If they are so close to being ready as to charge us then certainly they know what week or day the chips will ship.
I just have zero trust in this company and their wording purposely says nothing about actually shipping.
