Jake Gostylo looks like a lucky guy and seems legit. There is lots of info on Google about him and the pictures match up.

What a coincidence, JUST shy of 30 days late. Roll Eyes

Just watch them do it again with the Jan batch.

30 days late for whom? all december orders were moved into january (with comps so they are now officially january orders)... and we're still in january, and the first customer has their box. since i have some first batch orders, I'm hoping mine will start to arrive next week

... so yes, they're definitely some amount of days late perhaps even a couple of weeks late but they're not even a month late (.. yet). In the grand scheme of things, cointerra's delivery plans are really not as bad as some others we're following closely (hashfast, bitmine, etc)

Yes, congratulations - and it seems that 2THs are possible as promised:

CT and HF (and who else? KNC batch 3?) shipping at the same time... It's gonna be interesting.

This is what happens when you deal with people who are from India or Pakistan. They over hype anything they're trying to sell and under deliver on products. That was the main reason why I knew this would fail and it has. I was right about it from the start. The only people who suffer is the ones who paid money to this clown and I don't feel sorry for you. Next time do some research on the people you're dealing with before you invest in something.

poppys.. do you not see thats a ridiculously racist view...!?

you're calling all indians and Pakistanis untrustworthy.

Since when does Indian/Pakistani qualify as a race? That's news to me! Roll Eyes

I think 220-240 is the way to go, hassle as a rewire is needed but will use less power over time.

?

You gain some transmission efficiencies at 220v if you don't step down to 110v and the power supply also operates more efficiently with 220v input (most PSUs deliver better efficiency on 220v). Also, in most places power is cheaper at the original delivered voltage off the power line though this is usually a fraction of a cent per kWh. Real world differences in cost are relatively small for this though.

EASY MONEY!

Such shady tactic targeting the clueless newbies, yeah may batch at $6000 will be easy money... Roll Eyes

wait -- don´t blame this excellent company. blame the web designer who forgot to include the words "...FOR US" beneath it.

P = I^2 * R?

Technically correct, actually irrelevant.

Can it be run off your Dryer or Stove plug in they should be 30-40 amp at 220 volt >6000 watts. problem is then you need a sub panel etc. But the power supply's can be 240 or 120 volts.
You can not just plug in extension cords as they could be on the other phase, easy check with volt meter. (dead short i think)

When 1.6GH of ANTMINERS take 3.2KW and 1.6GH of Cointerra takes 2.1KW you begin the realize the whole 28nm vs 55nm debate is next to pointless. The cost of the box and its useful life makes worrying about the relative power draw the least of the problems. To be fair the cost for ANTMiners was quite a bit higher in the beginning, but the last couple weeks it was only 15.2BTC (~$12K) for 1.6GH of ANTS which could already be mining TODAY.

For larger miners that 1000 watts still adds up though, big time farms for 2014 really will have to be built on 28nm hardware to be competitive. If you want 20Thash of Antminers you're going to be spending a TON more money on electricity, it's not insignificant for larger farms.

At $.15/kwh that's $1314 per year. 1.6 TH/s generates that in under 5 days.

But if you're worried about power draw, you're better off using Bitfury chips until someone comes along with a more efficient chip. No one has shown a 28nm chip with better power drawn that Bitfury's 55nm chip.

It's not just cost of power, it's cost of cooling, cost of backup power, cost of UPS and generators, cost of power distribution units, cost of power lines, availability of power lines to your facility, etc. that at least doubles the cost of power, so now you're looking at more like $2K a year per unit, if you own many units this is significant.

which leaves a big question, how can we be sure that the designs out there really meets the specifications? in other words, what if the chips are 55-65nm instead of 28nm, if bitfury 55nm proved to be so efficient it makes me wonder about the other chips.....

not that I am an expert or know allot, but a normal person would ask the same question like me.
