the parts that were gotten that caused the delay are faulty.

My point was, the original delay due to substandard parts...and rectified with better parts is not the case, someone made a decision to change the parts and the new parts are faulty (the ones that were supposed to be better). So what were the original parts and what were they replaced with, and what made them substandard.

Meaning not only was there a delay to change the parts but the parts that were gotten that caused the delay are faulty.

You are living in the past, the production run has been over for weeks, there are more pressing issues atm like the recall, and getting the boards back out. I am quite certain IF there are any more batches that any production issues would be seriously looked into at that point. eg in NSW where the Drillbit board is designed there is http://ramzonics.com.au/site/index.php/p-c-b-assembly-smt-line and I am sure there are others.

Hmm I heard that the production house wanted to use a certain part (one made in china)...then was told no that this other part needed to be used (one not made in china)...which caused the delay because that part needed to be ordered and shipped to them...and now that part that they were told to use isn't working and they are being blamed for it.

What is interesting to me about the production house is that when the original statement was made on Nov 14th about the delay at the production house due to negligence on their part a few people asked who the manufacture was. That question was never answered publicly and it seems that it just might have been. You may not be interested in the answer at this point but I am sure that there are some people here who would like to know.

I don't see what is interesting about Chinese production houses at this stage.

What I want to know how the shipping of working boards is coming along? There is little information on the other forums, nobody seems to know what's going on.

i hope all testing and repairs can get done before end of week also shipping

Im asking if this is the mention of the third party assembling the boards in Barntech's post.

That is correct. They built my bitfury boards, and assembled the drillbit boards.

Where does it say that?

So BA is the third party?

Hey guys.

We have more delays. It breaks my heart to tell you this, and it just straight up breaks my heart that it's happening. Please know, I am just as excited about this project and eager to get these miners as you guys, and just as disappointed that they are not yet ready. The last weeks of delays have been absolutely killing me.

The story is this. A while back we made a decision to engage a third party to assist us with completing our production in China. The reason for making this decision is that they are on the ground in China, have direct contact with multiple factories and suppliers etc, and promised a really fast turn around on getting everything made. In theory, getting these guys to help was going to get everything done and shipped out faster. That was the idea. They seemed competent and professional through all our initial discussions. It felt like a good decision at the time. Unfortunately, this has totally back fired and instead become the cause of many delays.

Bit by bit it has become clear that this third party don't really know what they're doing. It frustrates the hell out of me. I really really wish i had not let crucial parts of this operation out of my hands as i believe we would certainly have shipped by now had we maintained control of the manufacture and done it here in Sydney. The wisdom of hindsight can be a real bitch sometimes.   I take full responsibility for taking the choice to work with these people. God i wish i hadn't. As i say, at the time it seemed like a good move. I am sorry for this. We have been seriously let down.

The cause for the latest delay is that we recently discovered that said third party had ordered largely substandard inappropriate substitute parts for our boards, not the ones we specified. We are lucky we found this out when we did. Going ahead with the manufacture with the wrong parts would have caused all sorts on unknown instabilities on the boards. People may well have received them sooner, but there would be a  large chance they would not work properly, not get decent hashrates, and perhaps not work at all, or break soon after being plugged in. Dealing with this problem after the boards had been made would have been a nightmare.

So, we have ordered all the parts again ourselves from trusted sources. They are now being sent to the manufacturers. They will arrive early next week. This is the absolute best we can do under the circumstances. Trust me, the delay is worth it for the peace of mind that the boards are made properly to the specs of the design and will work. The production will continue as soon as the parts arrive. All things being equal production will happen on Tues. Basically we are put out a week by this. I am so sorry this is happening. It absolutely kills me to still not have these miners done for you.

Actually the problem with bobsag3's boards is the rpi not the board itself, the board is fine and can hash away its the rpi's that can't stay stable.

Thank you for confirming, time to post a warning for all to see.

That is correct. They built my bitfury boards, and assembled the drillbit boards.

Barntech / bobsag, can you please confirm or deny this?
