Wow now cointerra has a security breach not really surprised, through all the 'head architect of Samsung'/'cryptography teacher' fluff theyre just a bunch of amateurs, i can't believe i was duped into purchasing one of these machines from them.  Im sure theyre loving it though anything to buy them more time.
If you were 'duped', why are you offering your units for sale?  And at double the price you paid?  It seems awfully unethical to be trying to pass the buck with a huge markup if you truly feel cheated.

Actually that is a huge discount considering i paid in bitcoin, i took a huge loss.  Also considering 'duped' in this instance is a figure of speech,  my opinions obviously differs from others who are still willing to purchase don't they?  What one has to consider when selling something like this is if they are still willing to risk putting their faith in cointerra is delivering a reasonable amount of time, others are still willing to do that, also purchasing these ASICs right now is not as risky is it was when i purchased them when bitcoins were only were 130 dollars.
Cheers     
Do not try and make anyone feel that you paid more because you decided to cash your bitcoins in for USD at 130 USD/BTC.   That was your choice and means either you did not have enough USD to buy your miner OR you felt BTC was overvalued at $130.   Not anyone's problem but yours.   If you did have USD available, you made a really stupid trade.   Cointerra was more than happy to take USD so the method you paid was your own choice and it is time to man up and deal with it.   You paid a USD price.


 

Excuse me but i think everyone knows the name of the game here, mining bitcoin is to acquire more bitcoin, according to the calculations i made at the time(which would have given me a nice bitcoin profit had cointerra delivered on time) were all made in bitcoin. all my calculations i did in advanced were to get more bitcoin not more fiat, so yes i did sell at a huge loss, because i received less bitcoin than what i paid for them, its as simple as that, is that getting through to you or are you thick?  What cointerra did was use it as a payment method to receive fiat or so they said, but i don't really care what they did with it, i know that some of their employees are being paid in bitcoin so that is not completely true.

Everyone understands there is an exchange rate please bring more to the table next time.

Get it together Cointerra


We are currently investigating a malicious attack on our email servers and website this weekend which has resulted in a security breach. We have taken the site down temporarily while we investigate the situation and will bring it back up again as soon as possible.

In the meantime, any customers who have placed orders in the past seven business days and have not yet made payment should not make payment via Bitcoin. We would like to make it clear that CoinTerra has a strict policy never to offer to move customers forward into an earlier batch, or to offer discounts or free shipping in return for quick payment.

If you have placed an order and paid via Bitcoin since January 31st and have been contacted via email by any person purporting to be a CoinTerra representative offering to discount your order or to move you into an earlier batch, or to sell you a cancelled order from an earlier batch in exchange for quick payment please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we may investigate it.

Please note that this situation will not affect the shipping of units to early customers from our first batches, which is currently in progress.
We will post an update with further information as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience.

Yes, we all know that, but you weren't FPGA mining in 2009.  Come on you're flogging a dead horse now.  No one was even GPU mining then.  So not only would you have had to program the FPGA you'd have to build your own private mining software akin to cgminer.  Which didn't even exist then and didn't support FPGA's over two years after the date you claim.  It would have been much more efficient, quicker and easier for you to have invented and implemented the first GPU miner.  About a year before anyone else.  Then invent FPGA mining software plus program the FPGA.  Also, if you're correct, then that makes you the biggest bitcoin holder by far.   Due to the amount of blocks you would have mined.  To be FPGA mining in 2009 before anyone was even GPU mining plus everyone was solo mining on CPU's you'd have been over 99.9% of the network.  You'd be holding more bitcoins then Satoshi himself and must have easily mined over 1Million bitcoins.

Stop trying to derail the thread with your fantasies.

Unfortunately for me, I did not see true potential of Bitcoins back then and left it as just a hobby. Most of my resources were allocated to other research projects (IFP, DLP, ECDLP, number fields, etc).  It wasn't until recently that I started to take Bitcoins seriously.

FYI, FPGA development boards from Xilinx comes with all necessary programming tools.

US companies seems to suck...bitmine is about to ship there goes all our profit making Sad
When I first started mining back in late 2009 with my Xilinx LX240's, I would have been lucky to trade 10K Bitcoins for a slice of pizza

I'm 100% sure you were not mining with Xilinx in late 2009

Sorry mate, anyone from my graduating class can implement SHA-2 algorithms on an FPGA; it is not exactly what I would call challenging. My background is in Electrical/Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, but my top hobbies include research in Number Theory and Cryptography.  Grin

registered 21 September 2013 and claim to mine Bitcoin with FPGA late 2009, what members in this forum has became..... it just amaze me
Congratulations Sherlock Holmes, you've got it all figured out. Now, only if you can figure out Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity, then I will be impressed.

In 2009 there was no need to bother programming an FPGA.  You could solo mine with a Nettop CPU.
I have been implementing crypto and other number theoretic algorithms as a hobby on Xilinx FPGA's since 2001. I already had SHA-2 and ECDSA (binary field) implementations on an FPGA long before Bitcoins ever existed.

No you didn't.
That is so funny I forgot to laugh, FPGA's and the SHA-2 algorithms existed long before Bitcoin

What EVM did you use/what FPGA was your target if you don't mind me asking?

6k for an april unit
6k for a may unit, with god knows how many dozen of petahashes added between the april and may units

What?  Why would anyone buy a may unit?

This is off-topic, but you're saying you implemented FPGA's before anyone else had even implemented GPU's?  What miner did you use then as the only mining client was the bitcoin-qt wallet its self  Roll Eyes  So you implemented FPGA's before anyone else had even implemented GPU's and you even had your own private mining software implemented too.  As even the first stand alone CPU miner hadn't been released in 2009.  Come on give it up and learn you can't earn Kudos on this forum by making stuff up.  If you did implement FPGA's in 2009 you'd be richer than Satoshi himself as you would have mined most of the blocks.  While everyone else was CPU solo mining on the bitcoin-qt wallet.  Also BTW, all the big fish from before 2011 rarely ever visit this forum anymore.  As their too busy concealing their wealth.  Money talks, but wealth whispers.
