Changelog 06/07/2014- Companies must now only sell in hand hardware (<2 weeks) in order to be an A tier company. This time period may be adjusted in the future to help aid batch assembly, which itself is a good thing.
Company changes:- CoinTerra demoted to E+. Refunds have totally stopped and this is not acceptable. Promotion to C+ once refund backlog is cleared and compensation is paid.
- HashFast demoted to E. As far as I know, HashFast is now in chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
- KNCMiner demoted to B. Neptunes are still not ready, offered up more preorders and the replacement Frankenstein Jupiters were delivered in pieces.
- SpondooliesTech promoted to B+. Promotion to A if only selling in hand hardware (<2 weeks) and first SP30's ship to customers.
- Avalon remains frozen due to market withdrawal.
- Black Arrow held due to imminent product launch.
- BitMine held at C+. Issues with refunds still, quite a few technical problems with delivered products but are getting worked through.
- VMC demoted to E+. Refunds have almost totally stopped.
- RockMiner added at C+. Promotion to B on successful delivery of batch 2 R-Boxes.
- Noncetech added at C+.
- Lightning ASIC promoted to A.
- Technobit promoted to B+.
- Redhash demoted to C+ due to inactivity.

What are the dimensions of the heatsinks?
What specific bit, they're quite contoured and are definitely custom. I'd have to take on apart again. I just need the outer dimensions in order to properly size a case for them, ala: The heatsinks will rest on the bottom "lip" of the support beams, so I just need to know how much room is required between the beams. The fins are 89mm tips to tips while the bottom bracket is 86mm. The bracket is 4mm thick. http://imgur.com/JtoRu0B |

Check this UK limited company which was trying similar method of getting BTC from user of BTCtalk.
Is there something specific about companies law in UK? is it easier to perform a scam there? or is it just one person behind those two companies? To get LTD,Vat and so on you don't need to do anything special. Once all this is done , virtual office and nice story.Looks legit as hell because most of there customers think that if they(company) registered as Vat or LTD they cannot perform anything scammy. Parabim,parabum and scam ready to go. I can create (another) Ltd company in about 20 minutes online for ~$50, and send off the forms for VAT registration in another 30. It doesn't mean much in terms of validity here. |

I'm not a fan of this. The market is moving on from preorders (or trying to), and this is a pre of a pre of a preorder. The chances of actually ending up with a mass marketed manufacturer on time are less than 20%.
Hello Dogie, thanks for your post and input. This isn't exactly mass manufacturing, but if you look at our FAQ's we've already said that it's a lot of systems to ship in a small(ish timeframe. It would be true if you has never been involved in such projects before and so didn't know what pitfalls or problems there might, but if you have experience and the correctset of skills, particularly product engineering and a set of known and trusted supplies and subcontractors, there's a very good chance that the whole process can run very smoothly. We also said that most of the non-custom build would be done before we get the asic'c back, that includes the enclosures, PSU's, the controller boards and the DC-DC converters. Because our systems are modular, all these parts can be assembled and tested without the asic, in particular the Pi and it's ability to connect properly to the network. It can 'practice' mine with no asic just to test things out. The DC-DC converters can be burnt-in with dummy loads, ditto the PSU's. The actual hashing modules will be built for us by a subcontractor. The on board MC can test functionality with having to be fixed into a system, so this speeds things up a lot. Once we have working modules, they get fixed into the rigs and get a full test with the network. Hope this addresses your concerns. This is the same thing which has been said for each of the 20 ASIC launches I've witnessed over the last year. What if your DC-DC efficiency comes back terrible on the first boards? What if your chip power consumption comes in just 20% over? Each of these requires a new PCB revision, new testing, new 'has our power plane melted', new production runs and delays. I'm not going to be actively following this thread for a while as its more of a security than hardware. |

System Uptime

CGMiner Uptime
37 day 22 hr 29 min 11 sec
This is really the most stable mining system I've used. Wish the BitFurys or GPU rigs were that stable  Mine never reaches that high because I'm a good boy and update the firmware |

I agree with the minimum order pricing for a unit specifically designed for mass adoption. It reduces the portion of costs being paid to a courier company significantly.

has anyone managed to resolve the issue of not being able to change the default password from the interface yet?
I'm not positive it's resolvable in this iteration of firmware. Are you wanting to put your hardware on a DMZ? This. This firmware is barebones super cut back, and it does do the job (mining). There are things that could improve, but the fact they've not been fixed probably suggests something else is drawing their attention. |

X box More details please. Anyway philipma1957 thanks for the news I will keep track. Bring us some photo if u got one.
Now I understand your pm message. Right now I do not have enough info Just a chrome/google translation on the rockminer website. I would send in a btc to them if I knew what was happening. I'm sure I'll hear from then when things are ready, don't worry. |

Come on, man, it's just a complete clash of styles. You're scientific, he's passionate. We get it.
You really think he cares about post count? Same could be said about you for this whiny thread.
Absolutely he does. And same could be said for you with your 'buy me' sig. |

Dogie,
Had to make a TRUST entry for you,
You are such an asset to the BTC community.
Thanks for all you do!
Thanks. As of Wednesday I'll be here full time, more planned. |

Joe,
how is going blackmailing business
Care to elaborate? |

Try Reading Elsewhere...
Or Don't.
Its an account with 1 post called "Is Cointerra Bankrupt", this wasn't meant to be a meaningful discussion. |

it wasn't all junk posts, so i don't mind PG doing all that.. i wouldn't read through all of it though.
They don't need to be junk for it to be spam.... there is no reason he can't edit posts to add more information like the rest of us. That was probably the mildest of his multi posts, just go back through his history. The 11 post streak I remember was literally 2 mins between posts, adding more and more stuff. I guess for some post count is more important than not spamming everyone else. I have him on ignore but 11 ignores in a row sure takes up half the page. you have something against old man PG? seems like a few around here do, but there's always drama. Only his posting habits. Its tiresome going into a thread and seeing the sheer amount of spam when he locks his teeth into something. |

Did no one read what he actually posted? He wants to know how to MAKE miners. Make. As in chips.
