Awesome a UK seller too, I am fed up of dealing with overseas people.

Same thing I was thinking months ago when all the hardware companies out there were foreign.... its about time UK had its fair share of launches. As stated we will be presenting our product in London to people wishing to see it.

How long would you estimate it would take for manufacturing? If prices are reasonable, I'd order some... As long as they don't take too long to arrive.

We estimate that it will take around 8-10 weeks to deliver from close of our batch. The bulk of that wait is actually from waiting for FPGA chips to be delivered to us, and then on to the PCB manufacturer (or direct).

Why not port immediately to ASIC?  I'm sure you could raise the venture capital.  You could also just patent your design and sell it to one of the other large ASIC companies.

Problem with ASIC design is it costs so much. Minimum investment for design only is 7 figures. Dont get me wrong, we would love to have subsequent hardware in the form of an ASIC but FPGA is the obvious stepping stone. Also the price of SCRYPT coins right now would mean it would be a very high risk on ROI for us to make an ASIC. If this initial product range goes well we will indeed look for investment to go ASIC.

So koolio, you're not going to be selling them for now - just renting?

Does that mean we cannot switch to another coin at will? for example - a new coin that I like is released on here, I cannot mine it without contacting your people and setting it up first?

Also, congratulations!

We will be selling once we have our prices and supplies fully arranged. Hosted mining will most likely come after initial customer sales. We wouldn't be 'renting' as such but just offering a set amount of KH/s or MH/s for a set period of time. In terms of adding coins we are offering FTC and LTC from the get go, however updates will come regularly with new coins. We will most likely be asking for customers to submit new coins for proposal when they surface (there are too many sites where coins are launched for us to keep an eye on).

We will be offering boards as a barebone option which will in fact allow user made mining software and as a result you could implement your own coins without waiting for our updates.

I think he means the software that comes along with it will only be supporting Feathercoin and Litecoin initially.

Great to hear you're working on an FPGA Koolio. I'll definitely be contemplating on pre-ordering/buying one if my budget allows Smiley
