Sorry. The machine thing was a joke though, seriously. Almost every ActM shareholder knew that, and I wasn't trying to fool anybody. My intention was misinterpreted and I didn't mean for it to become a big thing. I do have a lot of mining hardware but none of it is VMC, or CT unfortunately.

I've already talked to my lawyer. Their contract has a dozen flaws in it, and is so piss poor I'll be surprised if they survive the backlash we give them.
Is your lawyer as real as your VMC mining hardware*?Chilling out may be advised for the moment in any case— the assembly line pictures and demos show that there is actual progress being made, it doesn't seem like backlash could possibly make it move along any faster. Sadly early customers are already screwed on these systems.
*For some context: CanadianGuy claimed to have received VMC mining hardware last month, this month it was disclosed that VMC was still working on RTL.

Did someone with December batch order receive any info about shipping?
January 25, 2014, 02:08:19 AM
oh look no update
because they don't have any common sense in the bunch of them... here is some rational thought from their forum but more crickets..
"Ship the units without the PSU's then they wont need certifying , then ship the already certified PSU's seperately and customers can install them , this is how KNC got their orders out of the door so quickly. I would be shocked if these get through certification in 2-3 days
? How would that be possible surely these people know better than that ? I thought they had more experience UL testing can take forever "http://forum.cointerra.com/threads/delivery-times-move-up-a-month-s.268/#post-1341
minor change to what you said.. as far as I'm aware, knc don't usually ship any power supplies with their miners (many bitcoin miners are provided without puss... my bitfurys also didn't come with power supplies.
knc does provide a power supply if you pay the multi thousand dollar hosting charge (which i did) but for delivery customers, psus aren't included..

If there is a lawsuit ill be on board immediately, so tired of these shitty asic companies.

Are you all doing the Terrahosting service at Rackspace, Data Foundry or any of the other bigger name colo's in the surrounding area? Or will you all be doing your own hosting in house?

I didn't read all the pages but did they manage to get the target of 2TH/s ? or they are still tweaking the prototype ? they still advertise 2 TH/s on their website so they still think they can do it I guess !
Nope, they're only hashing around 1.5TH. That's only 750Gh/sec per 2 chips. 250Gh/sec less per 2x goldstrike chips than what they said atm, however tweaking the software and chips are still a work in progress. Also looking at the cpu core temp 79c on the goldstrike they might not be able to hit 2TH per unit with out getting hardware errors. It will be good to watch if they can pull it off.

That's not outdated, it was taken a few day's ago and posted on the website. lol you work for them?
Please be patient for the final specification which will be released shortly.

I really hope Cointerra ships ASAP though, it's nearing the end of the week and I'm really hoping they start shipping this week since Hashfast is already dumping hashrate onto the network now.
They could be standard size but stacked (parallel), can't say I've ever seen a capacitor in that shape (but that's not saying much). Likely a creative hack when you need more capacitance but already ordered half a million SMD's of a lower capacitance.
That makes sense for both of those reasons. The way they were powering them (in the bring-up picture with those giant, fat leads) means they probably had to compensate quite a bit for the wire's relatively high inductive response. Pretty slick, actually.

My order #605 of 20 baby jets just shipped out from Hashfast today, and there arriving tomorrow!
Also talked to someone from Hashfast yesterday and he said they expect all of Batch #1 to be shipped out by the 28th of this month.

I just noticed something strange to my eyes in the picture Cointerra posted a while back of Jim O’Connor and Jon Noeth doing the bringup of the chip.

Specifically the dozens of capacitor-input filters you see:
http://i.imgur.com/NpYTHy9.png
Why do they seem raised up, as if they're on some kind of riser? This is probably the wrong forum to ask this, but I'm just curious if anyone knows why they look funny. Regular-looking, flat, surface-mount capacitors look like what they showed on the bare board:

I don't think they're on a riser, it just looks like they used larger size capacitors that have a somewhat unique tombstone-like shape, my guess is whatever capacitance they wanted wasn't available in the usual flatter kind. http://cointerra.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Screen-Shot-2014-01-07-at-3.39.22-PM1.png

If you really go there please ask what kind of power use these ended up with. My business partner apparently moved from an area with 0.10/kW electricity to a place where high use is 30 friggin cents a kW and originally he was supposed to host so now we're scouting for a place to build a server room with cheap power. Need to know what kind of power connection we're gonna need sigh.
