Topic: Posting a speculation thread on Acorn gear from Gpuhoarder to keep a promise (Read 354 times)

At this point in time the milk is spilt this is not anything they can do.

My thoughts are as follows bitmain,innosilicon or a third secret party  hammered them  like they hammered the Sia development team.

Their problem is simple they are smart but honest and did not imagine what a more powerful richer company would do to stop them.

Sia asic thread I will link it.

his mistake was to think he could build gear for his coin instead of protecting his coin from gear.

bitmain crushed him  or innosilicon crushed him or a third unknown mofo with big money. None-the-less crushed they were.


If you don't see that is what was done to squirrels  well I can not see for you.

Squirrels should not have done preorders  they should have built the gear first.  Then did a few demos then released it.

Now money spent on July 13 (Friday the 13th)  sits and does not a thing  for how long?

in my case it is only 796 I feel for those that jumped in with a big commitment .


This is why gpu mining is better then fpga   since gpus can be purchased all over the world and not fully shut down like fpga's just were.

We need fork fork fork fork fork.

A smart move would be a fortyfour fork coin  just to fight asics  and memory jack it to 9gb

which means only nvidia 1080tis and better can mine.

There now may be a delay on the larger FPGA The BCU-1525

I do not know how it affects the Acorn 215+ or another gear made by squirrels.

Note:

 I read the issue was a specialty cap  on the discord channel.

For tinfoil hat people I think Xilink has a major contract/relationship with you guessed it bitmain {not sure}

I guess if bitmain squeezed the supply chain here it means  they thought this was good gear and are attacking them  but thats a tinfoil hat theory.


Does not matter  why the gear is held up only that it is held up.

BCU-1525 delayed. I am wondering what would happen to Acorn release schedule

The BCU was delayed by Xilinx who makes both the FPGAs and the board that is the BCU1525. Xilinx is delayed due to unavailability of other components used to make the BCU, not the actual FPGA itself. SQRL is facilitating the BCU orders, if I understand correctly, not making the boards.

Any project could be delayed if they needed the same components that Xilinx is waiting for, Acorn included.

Supply chain stuff is complicated, and most companies try to have multiple suppliers for most components to prevent this from happening. Sometimes there is only one supplier for a critical component, and that supplier has a problem, well, you are SOL. It's also not usually easy to get a new supplier online in a short period of time, especially if high volumes of components are needed. Not to mention those suppliers also have existing customers with contracts...

My guess is that it will get delayed too. A common delay cause is chip fabrication, which is shared amongst various manufacturers.

Once again, what really bothers me is that (regardless of what GPUHoarder suggested), I am not getting any responses to my questions from SQRL support. It is one thing to have some very smart people designing new system and the other (often neglected in Crypto world) providing a support structure of a company that deals with customers efficiently.

Fully vetted press release checked and that is all she wrote:

We already had one FPGA scam (Dwarf) recently and I'm sure there will be others. There is no harm in establishing the identity in more than one way. I've seen David's name mentioned but I don't recall any actual proof and I do follow these FPGA threads. So Phil's concern was 100% valid and now we have something to refer to if this question comes up again.

To be clear airsquirrels.com has been perfectly polite to me via email  the email is in this thread above.  GPUHOARDER was 100% accommodating when I explained the vetting issue that I had.

He cleared it up in under 1 hour's time by issuing the press release today.  So I will buy 1 of each Acorn 2 model and have some fun with them.

@yankees

I had a ton of problems putting orders in today

as of this moment  my orders are not marked correctly.

first order did not go to coin payments I gave up and saw the option to get one from the mine0rity.

so 1 dead order of 1 215+
1 good order of 1 215+  this seems to be fully credited

I went back to order again I saw the option for the 2 card holder Could not find the option on themineority but it did make an order on squirrelsresearch
coin payments would not take the coin  so 2 dead orders on squirrels 1 good on themineority

I said f it went out and about tried again

said  I will order the 4 card holder and 1 2 card holder and 3x 215 +  came to 1250 usd I said too much on sites that just fuck up I canceled it.

so 2 dead orders that would not work with coin payments
1 cancelled order by me 1 good order to minority
I tried 1 last time

on squirrels placed a 2 card holder order and 1 215 +  about 440  and coin payments worked took my money.

and squirrels  canceled this order said I had 2 dead orders and a canceled one so we are cancelling this order

but I paid in btc and coin payments said deal with squirrels so I am in the following spot

780 or so made in btc 340  to themineority for 1 215+  seems good.

440 made to squirrels for 1 2 card holder and 1 215+   money is paid order is marked cancelled

too bad I had so many issues

At this moment I am just hoping they fix the error and credit me for the order made for the 2 card board and the 1 215+

The mineority had smoother orders and sold me an august batch.

the 215+ from squirrels is listed for september.

I can not justify  ordering september gear.  So I am done for now.

I did get an email from squirrels it was an auto bot.

I will let you know what they do about the canceled order and the funds I have paid.

What a beautiful motherboard!

I am on discord with sqrl_Jess right now

and it is fixed

Thanks for the reply .

 There is no conspiracy it is a fact that  you have not sold out Sept. batch at 329 according to your website

and you offer Nov batch at 329. The screenshot is simply taken from your website showing that.

Simple accounting shows  that is wrong .
So why offer it?
Your website has sept and should not list oct or nov  until sept is sold out.
All it does is create a chance that a buyer makes a mistake and gets his batches later at the same price.


This free marketing advice for your company.  You could follow it or simply resist my advice because it is your company and you ultimately make those decisions not me.

Has anyone made the mistake of ordering from Oct or Nov batches I don't know as I don't have that info.

Did your store create the chance that someone can order Oct or Nov vs Sept yes it did plain and simple fact.

Will you fix that?  I don't know.
Will you allow an order for Nov to be moved to Sept if someone fucked up I don't know?
Will you give a coupon to a Nov order because the buyer is delayed for 60 days I don't know.

Will you say phil in this case you are right we did create a chance for a buyer to have a 60 day delay thanks for pointing it out and we will fix it.

We checked our records and only 2 people placed orders in Oct or Nov we will move them up to Sept.
We will only list  Sept until it sells out then list Oct till it sells out then list Nov til it sells out.
I don't know.

Do you think I like posting here over and over and over pointing out issue after issue .

Fact is I don't and would rather not post here until the gear I ordered arrives.

Tell you what I stopped posting here. Until the gear I ordered arrives.

As I understand my order with squirrels it is for 1 215+ and 1 nest and is due for sept batch.
order number 482 is my squirrels order reads sept batch



As I understand my order with mineority it is for 1 215+ and is due in the august batch.

Order Number: 25 is my order from mineority

btw it does not say that it is August batch or Sept batch or Oct batch or Nov Batch  when order was placed it read August shipping so Hopefully it ships with the August batch.

No.

deleted as I am not finished pointing out everything wrong  did save it and will allow it to stay.

And for all to see that  the date is today the 11th of july 2018

sooooo my concerns were 100% valid  and until today  they were not addressed.

To op thanks for addressing them.

Normally I would not have bothered to vet this much.

But  I had multiple people ask me via email to check it out.

And every where I looked  endorsements were not in the following direction. Airsquirrels.com(parent) to squirrelsresearch.com (NEW STARTUP)


THERE were multiple people telling me they are real  but I was not able to get the one above until today.  I suppose I need to email

for a full and final due diligence.


and sent the email  to confirm report.

Why is http://www.squirrelsresearch.com/ redirecting me to https://shortener.godaddy.com/?

Well - something is clearly broken. Checking with team.

This thread is 26 days old.
Zero proof it works.
No demos
No videos
No screenshots.

I simply ask the following proof of concept.
What can you show us?
see below you mention pre orders mid june or late june


where is the video?

I am reading this now

read  discord
  I still don't see a product
I don't see  a way to order
I don't see the boost it gives.
I do see you missed your dates  of mid June to take a preorder  and you are about to miss  the late June you mentioned.

You could have just kindly asked for an update.  Not sure why someone gave you merit for that post.

If you read the discord, you'd read that they are behind on this because of the BCU1525 launch/sales. They will catch up.

This is a weird reply, you are coming in here like you have been wronged and they owe you something. I don't get it.

That's not the acorn, BCU1525

I offered to help them a while back.
I have been through enough grief on projects like this that I have a lot of concerns.

I also know builders
Of gear are always slow to launch.

I waited until the 26th which is 11 days past mid month.

No preorder was taken so far.

This means  op missed a date

My post was simply a reality check.

Mid to Late June for all orders and information. First batch ship a few weeks after.

I’m sure we can produce a video. I’ll never understand why so many people like to watch videos online, but ok

WOW! What’s wrong with you? People like you are the reason why nobody can put out stuff for the community. Why don’t you learn vhdl coding and you can be up and running by 2023. If not wait just like everyone else.
