Are there any other Austin Dec/Jan. Pre-Batch that would have a legit way to stop by say hello and meet the group. Then maybe ask what the status is?

anyone got a tracking number yet....

US companies seems to suck...bitmine is about to ship there goes all our profit making 
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 pizzaI'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.

registered 21 September 2013 and claim to mine Bitcoin with FPGA late 2009, what members in this forum has became..... it just amaze me
In 2009 there was no need to bother programming an FPGA. You could solo mine with a Nettop CPU.
No you didn't.

so next you will claim that you are Satoshi ? I wouldn't be surprised, now move on we saw your kind before....
You give up so soon, I am very disappointment. Perhaps, you can look-up Satoshi Nakamoto's registration information on bitcointalk.org and figure out when he started to mine Bitcoins.
yes you are..

bitmine got their chips after hashfast but before cointerra. they should've delivered units by now. think they got their chips a month before cointerra - at least they taped out a month or two before cointerra.
its also unknown how well their box works. am eager to hear... (might order some myself if it delivers)
i mentioned this months ago but i would love to hear news on whether their 3,000 watt power supply will deliver all 3,000 watts when run on a single US power circuit (120 volt) as that seems like a lot to expect out of a US power outlet, and i worry that the power supply might max out at 1800 watts when used in the US.

Pulling 3000W from a standard US outlet with 120 volts just won't work. Not sure their PSU efficiency or make/model, but that would be around 26 amps @ 120 volt.

So the fcc/ul approvals are in? Why aren't we hearing from anyone else about shipping? My order just shows "processing" as it has for months.
wish there was someone from cointerra on here to answer questions... thats one thing i think they're definitely lacking in... is forum coverage! they only seem to come here when they want to announce something... they don't read posts nor answer questions.
what questions? you drove everyone away that were asking legit questions for half a year! Now you want answers?
sheez
It's Feb and nothing delivered and they are still a bunch of clowns

They login everyday, they have just changed their online status to hidden. Not sure why they don't want anyone to know when they are logged on to the forum. Maybe to avoid answering questions?

Just a warning to anyone that might be doing Bitcoin/Litecoin mining at home: Be careful of how much power you are pulling!
I had separated a 120Amp line for all my miners, and that was fine, but my electric meter panel was very old and couldn't handle the heat. The wire insulation melted, the wires shorted out, and caught on fire. Thank God it happened while everyone was awake. Luckily I had a fire extinguisher. Now I'll just be without power for 2-3 days n be out close to $5000 in repairs.
I just wanted to share my experience so maybe someone else can avoid a similar situation.
EDIT:
I own KNC gear, along with other miners. This situation was caused due to a lot of miners being run. I was just trying to be helpful so others do not fall into a similar situation.

You will never run it with a single 120 volt plugin it's max 1800 watts
If you try plugging in TWO 120 volt from the same room they could be on different phase,
creating a dead short, and trip breakers smoke wire etc. And 120 will use more watts than 240.
You got to run it on 240 volt, I tried a cooler master i700 and it works on 120-240 volt fine, at .99 PF on 120.
Just get a electrician to wire a 220-240 volt plug in, with the 15 amp breaker.
You won't have a problem with using 2 different legs,since there are two seperate PSU's,they will convert to DC voltage,problem solved
The main issue will be wire gauge & the outlet rating.14 AWG MAY heat up quite abit pulling 1800 watts (15 amps),I don't recommend it.
My 7 year old home has 14 AWG for all 120 volt,15 amp circuits.I had 1400 watts (12 amps) being pulled on my bedrooms circuit with 4 outlets,GPU mining,every few days the breaker would trip.
So I changed the breaker to a 20 amp...BUT,I monitored the amp draw with my meter & checked my wires in the breaker box & 4 outlets & the wires in the attic for temp,over several days.Never heated up thankfully,it ran like that for over a year.I got lucky.............you could say.
If your wiring is 12 AWG,you can pull 1800 watts (15 amps) with no issue,just up the breaker to a 20 amp'er
Yeah 240/220 is preferred & draws less amps,if feasible get a dedicated line installed
You can turn a 120 volt circuit into 220 volt by adding a dual breaker & swapping the outlet,BUT cover/label any unused 120 volt outlets,so no one plugs a 120 volt device in them,it'll fry it & maybe them
Consult an electrician before attempting ANY of the above....PLEASE!!!!!!!

Also anyone running a device like this connected directly to the wall should have their head examined. You need to run it through a UPS not just for outages but for spikes and brownouts which are more harmful to electronics than outages.

There are two PSUs in the unit, and it should be perfectly fine to run them on separate legs of a residential service.creating a dead short, and trip breakers smoke wire etc. And 120 will use more watts than 240.
Not to mention he is completely wrong. Why do so many people pretend to understand how household power works when they have no clue??
240 will be more efficient, and if you have the ability to run 240 legs to the area you want your miners, do it. Building a consumer device that uses more power than a 110 outlet can provide is fairly stupid, but it seems like they had no idea how much power it would end up using.
