Sounds like you're looking at your order status page instead of the tracking tool on the front page. Make sure you get your tracking number from the details of your order under order history. Then plug that into the "order tracking" tool at the bottom of the homepage.

Nope, I put in the full number on the first page.  Undecided




Anyway, I'm not worried. I figured I wouldn't make the early groups since preorders started in, what, April / May?

What mean sku249 ? I am simple 249 and still only paid not day to me
SKU-249 means you bought a 1-500 miner on the first week and were part of the pre-order group, the golden ticket group.

If you look on the miner page, they all have a SKU number under them. Right now you'll see the Jupiter is SKU-250. You can't buy a 249 anymore.

All the 249's were guaranteed to ship 1st day.

However if you weren't part of the pre-order group you couldn't even see SKU-249 in the store. Thus if you bought day 1 and didn't buy SKU-249, there's no reason to expect you'll necessarily ship on day1. Only the pre-order group got that guarantee with sku-249 and the Saturn equivalent (which iirc is SKU-33 vs SKU-34)

No one should be ordering at this point, period.
My main concern is the 250watts of each chip. I don't know of any chip with that much power consumption, it will need fans like a whole GPU card and more. The package will need a massive TDP rating. eg. a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, one of the most power consuming CPU's of all time, was about half that rating.

I won't be ordering until these things are out in the field and proven. I am not a lab rat.
Think of it like a GPU rather than a CPU, parallel processing over serial. There are GPU cards that suck in that range already. A CPU never has all of it active, it's not a parallel device. This chip will be flying full-speed, 100% utilization nearly, all day every day.

As for the lab-rat quip, it's a risk! It's up to you to decide how much you're willing to accept. Me, I rolled the dice. You don't wanna, that's cool too. Either of us may look like geniuses in retrospect Tongue that's how risk works.

But let no one say this is a gamble. Gambling is where you take a risk where the odds are decidedly against you. Investing is a risk where the odds of a return are in your favor.

All the great fortunes are built on investment. The modern world itself was built on investment. Investment is one of the greatest things you can do in this world, as it helps everyone even as it helps you yourself. And here we are, taking massive risks with our personal money to buy machines that will help establish the bitcoin network, laying the groundwork for a revolution in money that 95% of the world doesn't even realize is taking place.

This is the kind of opportunity that people wait a lifetime for, and here we are living it Smiley

yeah let's not forget the pre-order placement is more important than these order numbers.

I had a low pre-order spot

I guess if KnC went the extra mile they could of listed everyone's preorder spot along with their order# and their day1, day2 etc

then it would make it easier for everyone to digest


It's quite possible that SKU-249 has a different queue than SKU-250 as well.

If you weren't in the early registration group you couldn't buy a 1-500 SKU-249 miner, even on the first day. You could be the first guy to buy a SKU-250 with order number 1 and you're still not shipping first day most likely.

I posit this because they'd previously said that each model has its own queue.

Those who are Day 1, did you pay with BTC?

My order #'s are 384, 388 and 392.  I am Day 2.  Wondering if it was because I used paypal.  Shitty.

no I used paypal also, and I'm day 1, actually used both methods 1 paypal 1 BTC both day 1

yay...WTF

I'm sure Sam is busy, who can I contact?


My order was #53, and I'm day 2, so...what's the big deal about 24 hours, lol?
and I was the FIRST paypal order, I'm not complaining. I'm totally Stoked.

Good attitude Smiley

Paypal orders may have been pushed back due to the difficulties they had with Paypal the first week. Shipping is by order paid, and that problem with Paypal may mean some people technically ended up paying later, through no fault of their own.

Kinda hilarious or ironic in a way, those who paid with bitcoin receive today a small bonus for doing so, since payment was instant. And here were have had problems with Paypal, the very problem bitcoin was created to alleviate! Us, bitcoin miners!

Down with fiat.

Maybe day 1 day 2 day 3 is not only 1 day.i think the most possible is day 1 from 2 to be after a month

So my question is has anyone found out they are above "This order has been scheduled for Shipping on day 2 of production"? So far all I have seen is Day 1 and Day 2. My order was paid for a Saturn on 6/4. Order #:9xx

Anyone order a mercury and get a day yet on their order checkup?

If you didn't order with a pre-order, you won't get an assigned shipping day. Regular orders don't get that treatment and will ship according to when the order was placed.

I don't have a pre-order  IE: I didn't have the 1-500 option on the website.  I was assigned Day 1 shipping for my Jupiters. I do however have a very low order number. I may have slipped in after the pre-orders.

No one should be ordering at this point, period.

They need $3.5mill in pre-orders to fund the chip run, similar to the once off funding issues BFL had for the first wafer run.

My 7970 is 28nm, and draws more than that....   hahaha
That's a whole card with countless components, not one chip, and video cards have like 3 fans and massive heatsinks!
Your point is?...  and the machines in Question are much bigger than Graphics cards, aren't they?  You have doubts... you should post them elsewhere.....  and go buy a BFL product, from a convicted Mail fraud Felon.
It's pretty obvious you don't have an electronics design formal education, I do.

Reading a bit more slowly now......   "This unit has been scheduled for shipping on day 2 of production"

Dude, it's like midnight
