BlackArrow give you free 5 day hashing, so you start earning while your unit is being tested.  But as others have said, it's a gamble. Schedules can get broken.

so do we go with

knc neptune 3th/s but be end of june before shipping?

cointerra 2th/s for 6k and march shipping

hashfast 1.2th/s for 6k and march shopping

black arrow 2th/s 5k feb shipping

any thought of the top 4 hardware currently being punted at the moment,

who will ship the best machine on time?

im leaning towards black arrow machine for a feb delivery, looking at 3 machines, so 6th/s running.

Would anyone suggest anything better?



the black arrow feb date is of course higher risk of delivery than the hashfast or cointerra march dates, as cointerra and hashfast will have been shipping for several months - assuming they both ship in december and they have pre-sold their january and february batches already so the march batch is the third or 4th batch of their hardware and by any measure they should be pretty solid by then in terms of stability of hardware and manufacturing process, whereas end of feb is the first ever shipment of black arrow and by any previous metrics, most asic companies are late for their first shipment.  assume march/april is possible too.

the knc june date is pure speculation at this point.  they announced q1/q2 and we have no idea when that is.  price-wise i was hoping for less expensive than cointerra if it delivers after them.

so i'm thinking, the quickest delivery should be the machines to go with

so black arrow should be best

Scheduled first and actual first are two different things. Just ask bfl or Avalon customers.

I think the smarter choice is who is most likely to actually ship first.  The answer may not be the same. At this point I would only go with folks who have proven they have taped out their processor.

If they deliver on schedule and ahead of everybody else i guess it's a plus. If...  Lips sealed

No matter what you choose you should think that if all of those companies deliver between march and june the difficulty will skyrocket!
