Topic: BTCFPGA bASICs "ready to ship" - page 2. (Read 6886 times)
Well, I was going to say their history of delays, but you're free to phrase it your own way.
IOW...you think they were naive to believe what BFL reps said without researching BFL and identifying their history of lying?
I continually have to repeat that anyone expecting a device from BFL in October didn't do their research on the subject, and therefore their opinion doesn't matter anyway.
So, let me get this straight. BFL is constantly harassed over every little detail. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, bASIC fans are currently in a whirlwind of excitement simply because Tom didn't screw up some standard clerical work with his invoices?
This is due to the fact that Tom doesn't lie every time he says something, unlike the reps on the other side of the aisle.
...or do you consider the difference in ROI for BFL pre-order customers hashing in October against a 25m difficulty and 50BTC blocks and hashing in December against 40m difficulty and 25BTC blocks to be a "little detail"?
I dunno about a whirlwind of excitement. I think the emails were poorly worded and it's been misinterpreted, but the communication attempt and preparations for shipping are appreciated(at least by me).

If I knew I could get one I'd have that cash fall out of my pocket so fast...
There might be a possibility. I don't know where they are on 2nd batch pre-orders but they might have a surplus in the first run. Also, some people are offering their first runs with a premium on the BTCFPGA forums. You might be able to pick one up there.

Having our orders Ready To Ship will save a lot of time for the ship team. If we had waited until product was in the shop, sorting out all the orders, payments, free & paid upgrades, shipping upgrades and special customer requests would have brought our process to a standstill. Mine and Tom's intention was to get everything staged as far as possible so we don't fall down at the goal line.
We'll have boxes & bubble wrap, shipping labels and everything ready so the units could literally be packaged while still warm.
Getting these bASICs out to customers on time will require a lot more than just having the product in hand...

I hope you guys are prestaging a lot of other things too, like the stations that are going to be used to load the firmware and test the devices. Be sure you have lots of USB cables, power cables, power supplies, power strips, etc on hand, with spares, and test the cables and power supplies and PCs etc beforehand.

LOL @ bitstream development
What is so funny? Call it Firmware or whatever..but for sure some software development shall be done after the hardware production. Am i missing something here?
"develepmonet" was pretty lol.
That's french aint it,
It means making art,right 
Cuz bitstreams make no sense in asics.
Unless you are talking about a FPGA prototype and a fpga conversion asic, which oh btw I have been telling people all along.

How tempted are you to pop the bubbles in the bubble wrap?

Got an email about the status of my order. You guys are doing a great job of communicating dave. Keep up the good work.

People probably forgot about it because it looks like nothing came of it. cablepair offered "raw" ASIC chips, which probably means they have not been coded to actually hash.
Do you realise there is no such thing? ASICs must be "coded" before they can be produced. ASIC without the "code" is just a plain piece of silicon. Do you think that's what they offered? 
Potentially, perhaps that is why no such deal was made? But I see your point, and retract that portion. I still foresee that it was a vapor-offer, as to why it was never finalized.

But it seems everyone's forgotten about that after Inaba started running around the Custom Hardware board waving his penis in the air.

Contacting Cablepair and locking thread due to beginning of attempted thread hijack by the always childish BitcoinINV. I will report on the bounty after delivery of items.
Topic is still listed as "Bounty Offered" from September. No posts by this user have referred to this again.
Referring to this topic, it's clear that payment processing and whatnot is all that is happening. Tom has not announced an actual timetable for completion and shipping, and as of a few days only said that things look like they "should be on time", meaning things are not finalized, and as with all things in life, are susceptible to unforeseen circumstances.
With that said, bAsic at least on paper sounds like it will be first out the door, time will tell.

Go bASIc go! Oh, wait, Go BFL, go! Lol! I'm not in the first batch so whatever. Good luck to everybody and let's see those ASICs mining.
