That's what I was getting at.. I thought you need to install the chips on boards before placing them in racks..
Ok, this should clarify:
Will also how long will it take you to get the full hashrate up and running once you recieve chips?
We'll be receiving fully-built Sierra units, not chips. We'll start hashing as soon as soon as they're plugged in. The full deployment will probably not take more than 48 hours, assuming we don't run into any problems.
EDIT: Apologies for the late posting on this, wanted to get a couple of feedback loops on it first.
Share destruction: hosting option summary
The Batch 1 Sierra units will undergo final assembly in Canada. We will pick up the machines directly from the manufacturer and begin deployment within 24 hours of the pickup. Machines will be deployed on a prorated order. For example if 20% of the hardware is converted in this way, every 5th machine we receive will be deployed to the investor hardware pool on a first-come first-served basis.
The hosting solution includes the following:
All inclusive cost: 252 USD per Sierra unit per month, based on 1000W continuous power consumption.
Options offered to the investor:
*waiting on confirmation from Hashfast regarding the exact RMA agreement.
Please note we did state that 15 October would be a deadline for a decision. This really only applies for the non-hosted option of taking delivery yourself. If you host it with us, the re-routing of the hardware is obviously unnecessary.

The hosting solution includes the following:
- Shipping & delivery
- Setup
- Maintenance
- Electricity cost
- Cooling
- No customs risk
- 24/7 Support
- All supporting equipment (racks, shelves, cabling, PDUs, controller servers, etc.)
- Replacement and reinstallation of any faulty hardware within 24* business hours.
- Hosting term: 1 year.
All inclusive cost: 252 USD per Sierra unit per month, based on 1000W continuous power consumption.
Options offered to the investor:
- The all-inclusive cost will be covered directly from mining output of your hardware. No further investment will be required. This cost coverage will be locked in with the first couple of days of mining.
- Full-service management of software and we give you access to our monitoring software so you know what your machines are doing at all times.
- Full access to all our research on overclocking, underclocking, cooling enhancements, infrastructure improvements and any other improvements.
- Option to implement above hardware/infrastructure research results on an ad-hoc basis. Note that any implemented customization that will void the warrantee of the machines will be at the behest (and therefore risk) of the hardware owner. The customization work will be done by DigiMex, but any extra costs incurred (e.g. higher power consumption by overclocking) will necessarily have to be covered by the investor’s mining output.
- Reinvestment: We would like to stay true to the original contract and negotiate a reinvestment clause at the start of the contract to have us both benefit from the cost-efficiency of bulk purchases. We understand that we cannot force it as you’ll retain ownership of the hardware, so this agreement will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
