If you're selling/testing intel chips why are you posting pictures of the Xilinx boards and listing our hashrates? How can you compare what the hashrates are if you don't even know what our hashrates are? Or maybe you moved over to intel once you realized you wouldn't be able to get the BCU1525?

Better maybe but at what price. I'm seeing $8K+ just for the chip itself so if the perf are not at least 3 times what xilinx does, except to limit space usage, those card are not as good (because of the price only)

You should ask for whitelisting

What OS do you use?

Nice...the intel fpga´s have high potential  ... but the price for a Stratix 10 is so high .

Do you ever tested the Intel XEON CPU with integrated fpga ?

no but we are testing the FPGA of Intel FPGA cards, so far they doing better then the xilinx

Anyone test with nexys ? How hashrate? This is the stuff https://store.digilentinc.com/nexys-video-artix-7-fpga-trainer-board-for-multimedia-applications/

We have a mining farm just outside Las Vegas, we are replacing our gpus with the fpgas. the extra cards will be sold or put into fpga rigs. NR always been a part of crypto.

As per all the information from Discord, the BCU won't be sold by Xilinx. It is based on XBB board (production version of VCU) which is not ready yet and when it will be it will have way bigger price than VCU/BCU. The only thing you can buy from Xilinx is VCU and XBB in the future.

I suppose it's xilinx direct, the shipping date is 2019 so this is probably a different batch.
Nocroom seems to be a legit company founded in 2016 for what it's worth. No idea why they would jump on the fpga bandwagon as it's not their primary business

What is the source of the BCUs you are trying to sell? You have a pre-order from the group buy and are re-selling?
Because there is no other way to obtain a BCU.
Also do you have your own implementation of Cryptonight Heavy bitstream? Because nobody announced one yet.

Bitmain ''slowly''?

Follow the news!

I have the #0000019 invoice

I honestly think that whatever is happening right now, that your team are doing the very best to handle all what is happening around the FPGA world.

From a little outside of the box point, I noticed that Bitmain are slowly making their way into Xiling team ( https://www.xilinx.com/video/corporate/bitmain-technologies-bitcoin-mining.html ) and I feel like that I understand their point of view that they are really losing profit and that they will be will go bankrupt in the next week if they cant screw the next wave of mining profitability. ( lol, you understand my sarcasm )

I'm really glad to follow the squirrel team, they do everything they can to handle the next crypto hype.

Let's do it

Not too worried about the refund. If they are smart, refunds should be processed no later than August 31st. The original invoice did not say, ''All sales are final''. In addition, Squirrels told me this before purchasing, ''Shipping starts in August. You should have it mid-late August depending on transfer times.'' No addendum for possible delays was added or ever mentioned.

If you do a pre-sale on Ebay for example and don't deliver, they kick you off faster than a New York second and do everything in their power to get the buyer's funds back.  

They breached their ''contract'' regardless of Xilinx delays, and shifting blame. That is not our fault. I'm not a lawyer but they could be in very hot water if they delay refunds or don't pay. Imagine the people that possibly bought 10+ units. Whew, I'd be pi**ed off.

I believe these guys meant well, but they didn't do much R&D and rushed into this order. There should have been a back-up plan or contract with Xilinx, stating some sort of discount or repercussion for not delivering on time. Maybe they are getting a discount for the delay, who knows. Not meeting deadlines is unacceptable. Customer service goes a long way and this ''start-up'' is off to a horrible start.

I truly believe that for each day after August 31st, they should pay everyone $20/day per unit because we expected to be mining by then, and $20/day was their low-end advertised rate. Check page 1 of this thread.

Icing on the cake...they are abandoning these boards and going with Bittware in the future. One could deduce that they will focus most if not all of their efforts and bitstreams on the new board, not the 1525. Just speculation.

Wish them well, but as they say, ''first impressions are everything''...

Just my opinion.

this disclaimer has been added.


So apparently if it gets "delayed" again then you shit out of luck.

I doubt it will as I'm sure bitmain got all their chips by now.

obviously so since there are now cards available for purchase. hurry before they sell out.

Has anyone got a refund?

Hey guys,

I wanted to let you know that whitefire has released bitstreams for according to https://fpga.guide/en. Building these bitstreams are pretty intense, but whitefire has been activly working with everyone on the discord channel which is listed on post 1. Hop on and see all that is happening it is pretty great!

You can purchase units for pre-order now at $3600/unit at http://squirrelsresearch.com/bcu-1525/ -- This is the only site you should purchase from if you want to be sure you're going to receive your order. We already have the order placed with Xilinx and we're in regular contact / meetings with them to get the boards built and shipped.

These were units that a refund was requested for due to delays in acquiring the components needed for production of the boards.
