Is there any reason to  anonymize the order #'s?

I was just too lazy to back in to the website after I had forgotten to crap the number D:

Couldn't help but notice...your name isn't on your own list crazy. :)

i 've ordered a 54GH but i am lazy to search the dates :)

I ordered a 27GH/s unit for testing

Why do you assume he's pre-ordered?

Don't actually. I believe I saw his nick in the BFL pre-order thread. Kind of ironic that the only one compiling a list of bASIC pre-orders ordered from BFL. :)

Humor = fail I guess.

Don't care who he ordered from or if he ordered at all. Matter fact I was considering adding a BFL order. Just struck me funny.  ;D

That's not a lot of preorders. I wonder if they have enough funds to cover a single production run of chips.

They've sold about 750 units at last count. I'm not sure how many chips are on each bASIC, but I'd guess there's at least 8 or 6000 chips in total.

As of Oct 11th, they had ~600 54GH/s units, and ~50 27GH/s units preordered. I have no idea how many chips each unit will have, as that information has not been released. I do know Tom said the first batch could handle upwards of 1000 units.

My mistake, it's 700 according to cablepair on Oct 15.

I wonder how many he'll order for the first batch? I would assume at this point it would make sense to just get the 1000 on the way since he's claimed he has financial backing on this project. It would get the best price, and even at 10 units a day he'd sell out the remaining preorders by the time he's ready to ship.

so should I preorder now or what?

From what I can tell, you should be able to preorder now, and still be in the first batch. And even after that, he said they will ship each subsequent batch in 2 weeks tops.

I ordered a 27GH/s unit yesterday.

Ordered a 54GH/s an hour ago, used my 2 lucky blocks found in the past 10 months solo mining at 400MH/s.  I didn't even know I found the second block in July until today O.o

Isokivi, order number 913, 1/10/2012, 1 x 54ghs unit

i ordered a bASIC01 on 10/16/12 order #14XX

...however, my 'transactions' show nothing, which doesn’t give me the warm fuzzy feeling i should have. That and Tom hasn’t replied to (2) any emails I’ve sent him (albeit he's been traveling).

anybody else not showing there order as 'confirmed' via the transactions?

J

My order history shows the order and status as complete. My transactions has nothing in there at all, "You do not have any transactions!".

hummmm, yeah mine does not show as complete... just as status 'confirmed' ...i did a 'simulated' buy, but didnt send any payment. so both my orders show in my order history as 'confirmed' eventhough a payment was sent for my 'second' purchase.

Hmm I only did one order with payment in BTC and it only shows "Confirmed" as well in the order history page.

What form of payment did you use to get "Complete"?  I used BTC yesterday and it only says "Confirmed"

I used CC for my purchase.

Ah that's probably why.  I guess I'll have to contact him about the link between bitpay and his website

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79637.msg1290426#msg1290426

Confirmed and Completed both mean "paid", except Confirmed seems to be when you pay with BTC, and Completed when you pay with CC.  However, bitpay seems to have a problem and marks those that weren't paid with "Confirmed" as well, and he says here he will go through his invoices at bitpay when shipping to be sure you paid.

Finally decided to call him because his backlog on emails is probably huge and I'd rather he focus on getting his product shipped anyway instead of replying to every email.  He posted the above announcement after I asked him if I can regurgitate the information he told me.

Are these realistically shipping this year?  If so I would be interested in ordering, but I received no reply when I e-Mailed you concerning the product.

I am not cablepair (Tom).  I am just a customer like everyone else on this thread.  I was merely relaying information that I learned after I had called Tom (he posts his business number on the forums openly)

He claims they will ship out the first week of December, but I have no clue.  Since his "new website" launch was delayed multiple times already, it is conceivable that there will be issues that come up and delivery date changes.

Since he is closing pre-orders at midnight tonight eastern time so he can work on getting the first batch of pre-orders delivered, I suggest you decide soon.  You can find all his posts here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=10804;sa=showPosts

1 27Gh/s bASIC NextGen Bitcoin Miner

Dunno if you're still updating the list crazy8s, but I've reclaimed order #1343 with a second 54Gh 72Gh bASIC 01.

Their site is still listing them as 27GH and 54GH, are they going to update their site?
I am acctually tempted! $1070 buks for 72GH!

I noticed that they haven't updated their site as well, but I'll go ahead and keep them listed as 72/36.

That's about an extra 20-30% more GHs/1kUSD compared to BFL and Avalon. I have a few main concerns tho:

A) They're having to redesign the board, which could put drastic delays in shipping.
B) Will the number of orders shipping in the first batch remain the same if they now have to spread those chips over fewer units?
C) How do they expect to add more chips onto a redesigned board, and expect the power usage to remain the same?

Yeah the extra speed is really nice and means you pay nearly $7/Gh less with bASIC than a Single SC, the decision just got a whole lot easier and there's a flood of new orders according to buzzdave.

A) We shall see, Tom or Dave said the board may have to be increased in size slightly to accommodate. Tom still believes he can ship in the near future. No sense worrying too much, they promised to update the shipping question tomorrow.

B) That's a tough one. They did that reclaimed order# thing because they seemed to think they had more than enough, then almost immediately they announced the increase in chip consumption/bASIC. There was also a comment from Dave that I found unusual about forgetting about batches and shipping out mass quantities of product. Perhaps we'll get more on this tomorrow.

C) The whole thing seemed to come from the "enginerds" I believe they were called. :) The brief explanation from Dave seemed to read like they were able to increase efficiency by using 8 chips. Presumably this means they were able to lower power consumption of the chips themselves to the point that 8 now do more work and consume less power than 6. This is largely speculation on my part, but the powers of 2 explanation does makes sense. 

wow, i idle'd pretty hard on this thread.
order date is 9/30/2012

They must feel "pushed" in to doing something for their coustomers, As said on their site, We garentee this will be the minimun speed of our units, We have be very reserved in our spec and probably able to get faster with further firmware. So I beleive they had the room to start with, Because BFL had announced a speed jump, Every other producer had to steep up with something. Sort of feel like BFL was "very reserved in their speed" also.

Anyone recently order something at bASIC or should we also wait for more information?

Think it'd be prudent to wait at this point. Status update coming late Monday.
