"Who cares?" in common English usage, pretty much all variants, is pejorative. I didn't take it that way, but I can see where one might.
Absolutely not, I have several mother tongues, but English is none of them. Besides mine being based on German school English (which has a reputation of being clumsy anyway), I am well aware of my limitations when it comes to lingual nuances - hell I'm only engineer and narrow minded by design
My argument was that 'Who cares?' is different from 'Who cares about the details, they won't change anything, do they?'. Maybe it is just me, but the second variant for me reverses the relation, i.e. the first one translates to 'f*ck off' towards the customer, the second to 'f*ck off, I don't care why you're late' from the customer. If that's not the case, I'll admit my failure and say sorry.
Now I hear customers yelling: time to discuss English language but no time for updates
I can give you some definitive ones from the SW side:
- CoinCraft Desk
- done: the driver got integrated in upstream cgminer just today (check git repository)
- done: all remaining FW parts (UI, sensors, actors) passed long term testing over night
- done: with that, FW is ready for deployment
- CoinCraft Rig
- done: IAP bootloader to reflash STM32 over SPI in the field
- done: initial hashing proxy tunneling SPI comms between host and 2 chip chains
- done: Initial cgminer driver
- WIP: sensor and actors (temperature, voltage regulator, etc.)
- WIP: self-optimization, long-term stability
Essentially, the FW for the Desk was done before time (devices are assembled / tested while I type), while the SW for the Rig will be ready just in time.
See this is something new, that's sounds like, somethings moving forward/being done...
Thanks for the update Zefir
The only bad thing i have to say about it, is that's its sad, that bitmine.ch dint have 1 min. to make an update them self like that one...
Not downgrading your update (i kinda ask for it, and its great, don't get me wrong), i appreciate it, and thanks...
I just think, that many have the same problem as me, why is it that, the company, we paid god money, (really god money) can't find the 1 min it takes to make an update, like yours, on our (collectively) million dollar investment?
(if production is halted at the moment, their shut be nothing but time...)
Its feel shady, and like their is something to hide, if its becurse of more delay they shut just come out and say it, its not like it cut get any worse then it already are... :S
But again, thanks for the effort Zefir...
