it took almost two weeks for their replay after a couple of emails we exchanged before

they said that X6 upgrade cost 825 usd and it could take 8 weeks to be delivered, becacuse they are waiting to get more orders, which is understandable

but after my last email to them - no response

If they want to get more orders together, I'm game. I emailed them from their site and waiting for a response. I realize this could be used to upgrade my C1s, and I have a pile of them. So I could put in a big order for these if they work in an Antminer C1. They should. I think they are all the same boards and the C1s just had the water cooling blocks instead of the fins.

Has anyone received a reply recently? Have all the parts except the x5 boards. Am eager to build this. If anyone has the x5 or x6 boards would be willing to buy at a good price.

I've sent a request but haven't heard back yet.

So you have to have the MicroSD card in the slot all the time? It doesn't install anything on the BBB?

Where do/did you buy your BBB?

I bought first one from the forum marketplace and now I bought a Beaglebone Black from Ebay for my second upcoming build.

As far as I know, they are pretty much hand full with work at the moment, so there might be delay with answer messages.

Hiring few guys more and updating the website to process orders more automatically would help them a lot.

Bitcoin FTW!

The problem is they don't respond very much to any questions or even order requests, and nobody has really been able to get their hands on a heater unit even though many have inquired. Looks cool and possibly practical, though, hopefully these guys get their production and customer service up to speed soon.

I'm surprised none of you have considered their heater-miners:
http://en.hotmine.io/heater-miner
could be a good substitution/addition to central heating,it can be used to heat pool water,etc. etc.
the price doesn't seem too high,the only problem-they are a Ukraine based company
problems with delivery and servicing as they do not provide any sort of warranty

Sorry, but I'm located in Finland, so that is a no-go.

But I do recommend contacting Hotmine and making your own order.

I have not yet received an answer from Hotmine but I will update here.

I've had so good time with the Hotmine X5 so far that I decided to make an order for one more kit.
Let's see if they have these babies available

pm me if you can get a hold of an order, I'd like to order a kit for my s5 too. I contacted them and they sent me a reply I couldn't understand, so If I could order one with you, and maybe use escrow or some thing? are you located in the USA?

I'm still interested to purchase a kit... winter is coming + BTC price had pumped, need less to purchase with BTC and mine them back.
Make more sense to buy now.
