Honestly I don't think it is as much faith in the coin as the lead times before you would get the miner.  We don't know what will happen from one day to the next, and scream bloody murder when someone wants to do a pre-order 2 or 3 months out in advance.  This miner is a year in advance. 

The story would be very different right now if they were talking about Sept/October ship date.  People would still be complaining, but they would be putting their money on the table.  If it were a faith in the coin issue it wouldn't matter if they were shipping today, people wouldn't buy it.  I think people want to buy an Obelisk.  The timeline is too long at the moment for most people.

I will probably try to snag one of these if they are still available when I have the funds.

I can't decide if I should order one or not.  It worries me that only 1350 have presold.

cause ppl don't have faith in the coin....that is all

That doesn't really help my concerns at all.  I like the coin, but the development team seems to have issues, will this coin even be around by July of next year?

I honestly think if they hold on the sales will pick up because time will erase some of the concerns.  I am considering picking one of these up if they are still for sale here in a few months.  But for now I have too many irons in the fire already.  LOL

Yeah...I"ve got TWO coming....breaking my 'iron clad' rule of being 'dumb' from butterfly lab days ...

you can call the old ASIC miner Legendary on here...but you can't take the 'optimistic kool aid drinking newbie away'

er....backslid... I mean July 2018 ..I got to be out of my frigging mind Sad

hope this works out

On the other hand, I scratch my head and think about getting more as well

Going for the EPIC win or EPIC fail on such a bet.....

the music below on what I feel like when I try to decide on an ASIC machine purchases

hell, the lyrics even work...'given me a number (pre-order #) and taken away my name....ARGGGGHHH... ASIC makers the next "Smersh"

I'm always dancing through the ASIC orders with this song on repeat! haha Cheesy


Great! Sad

This thread is full of future ASIC Anonymous Members..( I have a problem...I pre-order ASIC units 1 year in advance)....so more of us to go...running amuck thru this thread to. and co-enable me and my kool-aid drinking ASIC miner pre-order/unicorn riding...ASIC addiction..and 'taint' newbies to the fold.....sheesh

the kool-aid drinking is fierce in this thread Smiley

mining was supposed to be a 'silly harmless hobby' when I started in 2013...

so here we go...wind up the unicorn and charge into 2018 (I got to be out of my frigging mind)

Looks like Obelisk is still getting sales, at a slower rate. Current count is 1350 sold on their website.

I was considering investing more in X11 mining before securing some Obelisks, but things have changed over the past few days...

FIVE -- count them -- 5 companies are coming out with X11 asic miners soon.

The ibelink DM11Gs are shipping end of the month. Bitmain is sold a few D3s... Baikal is coming out with their 2GH asic (which has the advantage of being able to mine other similar algos)... Innosilicon SUPPOSEDLY has a 30 GH coming out in October... and Pinidea supposedly has something in the works, but little details are available.

With that, plus the many L3+ batches... these Obelisks are looking better and better. Best bet if you want to avoid the other algo's asic rat race... IMHO anyways...

yeah I was thinking that as well, it seems like an arms race right now for X11 asics, It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top, my guess it will be a 2 horse race at some point.

Yeah with data halls even a bitmain 15gh for 3k with psu/shipping etc ..COULD have a lifespan of only 5 months and never ROI...it is that ugly

remember the KNC Neptunes that were pre-ordered and released like 9 months late while KNC used the pre-order money to fill their data halls first? They

pretty much were doorstops in 4-5 months made 1/4 of their 11k price back


I punted my Neppie pre-order at the time to knc titans ...whew...missed that bullet

Also remember there were scrypt-N coins.....asic resistant..the Titans hit the world and blew the coins up in a week to beyond any worthless alts in $$$ you see today

everyone changed algo.....so no scrypt-n coins (pure?) anymore I think...blamo....

and if dash was to change it algo ..ouch!!!

So the catch with the oblisk sc-1 is very simple

1) if it goes no place will we get refunded

2) if they start production and it goes no place and money spent...likely not

3) will we see these in July 2018 or delays

4) can it survive as an SC coin only

probably a coin toss on x11 and that far in the future pre-order at best anyway

imho (I know zip at one time I drank the butterfly labs kool-aid..thus can't believe I pre-ordered 2 of these....young fool + now old fool = fool Sad  )

Surprised Baikal seems to have dropped the ball... basically upgrading /doubling their A900...

If there's a 2 way race, it'll either be between Bitmain and Ibelink, or Bitmain and Innosilicon (provided they don't over promise / under deliver like they did with their old Scrypt Asics).

Either way, with Bitmain's low price, high hash rate and ability to mass produce should still make them competitive IMHO

"We still plan to ship by June 2018 at the latest" !

So one has to wait a year for this miner possibly ?


yupp, and people who paid for a minebox (their last money grab) months ago are still getting the run around, months behind their last "latest by" delivery and nothing but promises made for their future...

but hey thats how robbing paul to deliver peter's machines works right? Cheesy

and yet people buy....  

crypto is funny ahha
Is minerbox connected with the SIA team? I was under the impression that they are not affiliated

Minebox is not connected directly to SIA as far as I know but they do have a partnership with HP Enterprise.


? they used a HP NAS for the minebox..., but it was MY understanding they have NO official partnership with HP, do you have a source for that? :/

It's like when a coin uses Azure and says they have "partnership with Microsoft Azure" lol

Minebox had a booth in a recent HP Enterprise event in Vegas to my understanding, https://www.minebox.io/blog/minebox-hpe-discover-las-vegas/

interesting, i didnt see that, thx!
ya they may not have a DIRECT partnership, but it does seem HPE is well aware of the minebox and that "communication with HPE will continue and we are looking forward what the future is going to bring."
so thats something atleast.

Out of curiosity, is your scam accusation based on anything concrete, or just speculation? Unlike any other scam asic pre-order

Speculative, cause most of scams are like this, they get your money and then they disappear or never deliver. Now if they invest their own money and then produce and then they sell / give you the product then I would not call a scam. I guess you know what I'm trying to say here.
