Customers come first. This is a side project that I'm doing in my spare time. I currently have no spare time and will not have any for the foreseeable future.

Feel free to work on it yourself.

Much of the information is still undetermined at this time. The suppliers are still awaiting testing results (from bitfury, and alpha testers such as ourselves). Though preliminary results appear that 2-2.5 will be the operational range of the chip. It will likely be that the units will contain somewhere around 60 chips each. We will know more once we're able to conduct a full battery of tests on the chip (Our current results are only after less than 24 hours of testing and only on a single chip).





 

Wait for the next version. I will work on it when I have time. But I'm quite swamped at the moment.

Planning on putting something together which will work on alt coins as well.

Right now it's been shown to operate at up to 4Gh/s. We'll know more once we begin testing the chips ourselves.



I believe they are indeed just being conservative. As it's been shown with other asic suppliers assembly is a tedious process with many bits you need to be sure are in stock. If any of the bits are not in stock you're looking at a 2 week delay.

I don't understand what you mean?


You use any username and any password to connect on whatever ip you assign it on the Eloipool standard ports. I believe the stratum port is 3333?

I've binned this version and am starting from scratch in favor of a system that can communicate with mysql effectively. The next version will probably run on poolserverJ or something similar to that.

I assume the "ARM" spot is for a miner on board? But how is the ARM supposed to communicate off the board? I see no ethernet?

Did you get some sort of notification, email, does it show up in your account?

How long did the transfer take for the chips to appear in the receiver's BFL account?

I purchased a couple of credits and they were transferred but nothing in my account :/

How long does it take for credits to be transferred, is it instant?

When does the auction end? You said June 10 but june 10 was 5 days ago?

The unpaid orders in question have a week to pay and that week is not up yet. If orders open up again we do plan to continue offering this proxy service for as long as batch 1 units are available.

I can't really make any comments at this time as to batch 2. There are to many unknown variables at this time. The chips might not even work the first time (batch 2 chips may actually become batch 1 chips if a re-design is necessary). The next 2-3 weeks will determine the course of things to come when the chips themselves are proven or not.

Good day,

Pre-orders for metabank batch 1 devices are now COMPLETE. As such we will no longer be accepting additional orders at this time.

I would like to thank everyone for their faith in us as we carry this forward. The total number of devices sold tallied 57 for a total hash rate of 6.84Th/s. We were able to confirm today that all orders have been secured. If you have orders placed with us (with the exception of one who has already been notified), your order has been secured with metabank and you will receive your device.

We will have exciting news in the coming weeks. We will convey additional information as it becomes available.  

If anyone has any questions or concerns please feel free to ask here or contact us directly.

Regarding bitfury,

The model should be "Metabank.RU 120Gh/s" the speed is 120Gh/s the cost is 2160$ US. They have not shipped a product nor have a working unit. The chips are to be tested within the next 2 weeks by various community members here in bitcointalk. Est. Delivery is between Aug-Oct 2013.

What you're seeing is preliminary version which was meant to convey the general attitude of the contract of service. The contract states the liability we have with relation to delivery of your package and with the relation of the seller making said product available for us to collect on the user's behalf. As it is known and as you say yourself, if selling a service is a sale, this is a sales contract stating liabilities of the service. If you ask DHL (or any courier) to pick up a package, scheduling the pick up, but the person you asked them to pick up a product from doesn't (or wont/cant) give it to them, it's not their liability. The contract in question is simply reiterating these points.

It's apparent that you would like to back peddle and argue about the definition of words, We'll have to go with simple questions in a simple format:

If you sell a service is it a sale, yes or no?

If you add a contract to the sale of a service, it is a sales contract, yes or no?

Not to be rude, but I just want to clarify this. So you are stating that the sale of a service; is not a sale?

It's evident to anyone who looks that we're acting as agent and the contract of sale is the contract of sale for our agent service; not a contract of sale for the device. Unless you're suggesting that DHL and Fedex have no taxable income (as they do not "sell" anything), then selling a service is still a sale.






 

We'd again like to thank everyone for their vote of confidence in us, and congratulations to all those who have made their first purchases of the fastest (and lowest power) bitcoin ASIC technology bitcoins can buy today. We have just placed the 8th order of devices from Metabank now totaling 51 devices and a collective hash rate of 6.12Th/s.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
