Ive emailed cointerra not to long ago to ask about the type/size of PSU's they were using for their 2th/s unit.
Needless to say, they couldn't give me a solid answer just "we estimate we will be using dual 1100s", but wasnt certain.
I had also asked if the PSU's were server/redundant or standard ATX, if they met 80 gold or above standards. In the end I got a screen shot of a 1100w psu that could have been grabbed from just about anywhere with none of that information needed.
I am not at all questioning these guy's abilities in what they can do, they are all obviously qualified ENGINEERS. The one thing I do see different with these gents is, none of them have run the entire ship. Just departments of, which is fine. Though could very well lead to a late arrival. due to the desire of perfection/standard engineers flaw. Normally that is a great thing, sadly its a slightly different nature with btc.
I hope they deliver, I really do. I like their ideas/ team.

lol ask cointerra where they are with the tapeout stage of their chip 
October 11, 2013, 08:41:53 AM
Cointerra would have my money if I were buying: the pedigree of their team is unmatched.
October 11, 2013, 08:31:35 AM
also please note that the whole lot of Cointerra threads (4 at last count) have disappeared from the front page of the Custom Hardware section.
they haven't posted a thing in 2 wks. i think something is wrong.

they also don't answer questions in their own forum
Thanks for that, probably wouldve wasted a whole $6000 - $12000 otherwise!!
I checked on this "Dr. Timo Hanke" guy - and he is definitely a legit German university professor specialized in discrete mathematics and cryptography. Can't say for the rest of the team, but there is still a good chance that the will deliver what the promised when the promised.
I am still myself thinking of ordering from them...

@Hashfast_CL
Looking into your website and finding your protection program. Regarding your examples, how exactly would that work? You're asking for another near 2K for the protection, and once the unit is in clients hands...
How would the "upgrade" work? Would you overnight a second module?
What if 400GHs at that 90 day period wont cover the loss amount?
Do you have any prototype pictures of chassis, working units etc?
and finally, how many modules can a single unit use?

"Two examples of how it will work:
Example 2 – You buy a Baby Jet for 50 BTC, and we ship it on October 25th(though actual projection to ship is mid to late Nov). January 23, 2014 comes and goes, and it turns out that at the Baby Jet’s nominal hashrate, it would only have generated 25 BTC during that 90 day period. Calculated out, it would have taken an additional 400 Ghash/s of capacity shipped with your Baby Jet on October 25, 2013 to generate 50 BTC. We can’t go back in time to give you that 400Ghash/s. Instead, HashFast will double that and give you 800 Ghash/s in additional capacity. In this example, HashFast will give you two additional Golden Nonce ASICs, each with 400 nominal GHash/s."
If they give 2 more chips, then I would need 1 more baby jet, as each baby jet can only hold 2 chips max.Looking into your website and finding your protection program.

But I see majority are saying HashFast, so I think ill take the first batch w/ miner protection

HF is the way to go.
we have no way to tell if Cointerra is even going to tape out. they're late already.

I would choose cointerra just because hashfast is a new company and they have not ship anything yet.
In fairness to HashFast, both are new companies and neither has shipped anything.
Also, HashFast paid their NRE and taped-out to TSMC well over a month ago. Cointerra said they'd tape-out the first week of October, but that deadline has passed and we've yet to hear any confirmation or see any press releases.
If Cointerra did miss their tape-out target, their deliveries will be delayed accordingly.
The principals at HashFast (Simon and Eduardo) have run a successful start-up company previously.
Ravi and Cointerra, not so much.

Hi, I would like to buy any bitcoin hardware, with a grand limit of $10000 not including shipping.
I have to get it however by December 21 preferably.
I need your opinion as it is hard to predict the difficulty
Options that I know of so far:
Cointerra 2 TH/s January: $6000
Hashfast Baby Jet + Upgrade (800GH/s) without miner program: $4200
Any more suggestions?
Cointerra is good, just late, so I want your opinion

Bump! No suggestions? Hashfast's baby jet w/ upgrade in december or cointerra's 2 TH in january/febuary
I'd suggest a third option: two Second Batch Baby Jets - With Miner Protection Program™.
Why? Because HashFast's chip taped out over a month ago, but we don't yet know if Cointerra met their goal of taping out the "first week of October" or not.

Have you seen http://www.virtualminingcorp.com/ There are no waiting
How do you figure?
Is it because they wrote:
"AVAILABLE FOR PREPAID PRE-ORDER ONLY"
Or maybe because of the:
"Shipping Starts November 2013"
VMC's top end miner is 24.576 TH/s.
So is 20 HashFast Sierra's, and costs about the same ($141'600 for HashFast, vs. $148'000 for the VMC with 6 expansion cases).
Yep, and I just found another website that would be nice to order from even though they are $15000 IF they ship much much quicker which i doubt... https://bitmine.ch/?product=coincraft-rig
Have you seen http://www.virtualminingcorp.com/ There are no waiting and if you can spend money, this one is even more powerful than CoinTerra. VMC's top end miner is 24.576 TH/s.
give them your cash and wave it good buy you will see nothing in return. lol SCAMS
I checked, its 9,000$ for 1 th and its shipping november. I just wouldnt know how to set it up, but i could get help for that on forums, but the main problem is:
It starts shipping November. No specific date, it could be November 30, just like hashfast.
