Ya, that's borderline fraud. They really should've updated you.
Perhaps they updated your contact in China, and he in-turn forgot to update you?

I can confirm that the factory has changed the design to a 32-chip design. I have sent an email to all buyers (at the email addresses they provided) explaining the situation. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Well that really sucks. I was looking forward to try to overclock these to 1.2-1.3TH's. Guess that won't be happening anymore. Its BS that they didn't inform you of that before. They should've informed you so that you could've informed us.
The manufacturer pulled a pretty clear cut bait-and-switch.
I have to agree that they communicated poorly. The price drop appears to be related to the chip count reduction... which implies they knew about the reduced chip count back around March 5th. The cynic in me thinks they intentionally forgot to mention it. However, they never promised overclockability, only a specified hash rate at a specified power draw. It's a loophole.
The real issue is, this was a group buy. As mentioned in the Op, our money went straight to them in advance to reserve our units, so we don't have a lot of leverage.
We'll keep you updated if anything comes from the loud noises. Feel free to contact me directly if you have anything in specific you want to discuss.

Do you have a linux command to count the chips or we have to do it manually?
Counting them will be easy... 4 modules or 5? Each module holds 8 chips. At least, that's how it was done on the units we received and evaluated.

In most cases, overcloacking just requires you to edit the cgminer config file and change the clock speed. I don't know if these miners are the same or not. Thats why I was wanting to know.
If these are the 32 chip versions, then they for sure will not be overclockable, as they are already overclocked to reach the 1TH/s with 32 chips rather then reaching 1TH/s with 40 chips.
You're probably correct. We only used these devices at stock speeds through the browser interface provided.If these are the 32 chip versions, then they for sure will not be overclockable, as they are already overclocked to reach the 1TH/s with 32 chips rather then reaching 1TH/s with 40 chips.
I've sent an email to everyone notifying them of our current status. I'll continue to keep everyone updated.

Other group buys, the chips on the units have be lowered from 40 chips to 32 chips. Is this the case for these as well?
I would also like to know about this. The original should be overclockable, where as the new one is already overclocked but with less chips.

We've already provided all shipping information and various payments to the vendor. We expect to have a list of DHL Tracking Numbers within 48 hours.
The vendor ran out of NEMA 5-15P / C13 power cords part way through the order. I will be shipping appropriate power cords to make up the difference, but they will come separate from the miners. Just a heads up.
These units are controlled from a custom version of cgminer (based on 3.9.0) that is configured from the web interface running on the Rasp Pi. Overclocking may be a non-trivial task, which is why we never attempted it.

Are they giving the DHL shipping info to you, and your distributing it to us, or are they just emailing us directly.
Second question, are these shipping with the single PSU or the dual PSU?
Thanks,

I believe these are 1kW single supply units, but I'm still waiting for confirmation on that.

I will double check. I've heard nothing of this.

One more day till they start shipping right...?
Anyone know how to overclock these bad boys?

I'd love to order some more, but I'm gonna have to wait for these to get here and mine some BTC for me before I can order some more. Maybe if you get another GB for around Mid-Late April, I can order two more
