I think VMC is turning out to be true at last .
I converted a pre-order i placed in November with VMC for about 9k , to 5 of these new prospector boards .
I converted my order 7 days back , and now the status says '' Awaiting Carrier Pick-up '' .
Even though almost shipping out on the 7th day after order placed is not an immediate delivery , Still , its good .
As they were setting up their DC and their staff was off for 2-3 days , I can understand this delay .

I hope , its shipped by today or something , and i will post it here as soon as i receive my 5 boards , So we can gain peoples trust in VMC .

Data Center Update: 4/5/2014

We are continuing to bring up machines in our data center; however, we won't have the air conditioning running until next week, so this may limit us to the number of TH we can put on line this week.

Shipping of products:

Due to bring the Data Center online on Thursday and Friday we did not ship any products.  We will continue shipping starting on Monday the 7th.

I appreciate the Shipping Update Ken Smiley

Alright guys,

Got the wires in, plugged them into the board and then into my laptop. Powered it all on. Downloaded latest CGMiner (BFGMiner didn't recognize the device) downloaded WinUSB Drivers and it's hashing right away, no issues so far.

You can see progress here http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1FscNBYzd5CqDzUVQ9YapLQNtLbswkM4NL


If you look under workers it will be called Prospector1 - Give it time (like 23 minutes) to get a decent hashrate going on the chart. It will look really low until it has been up for the full 23 minutes.

I am not a afraid to admit that I am a complete newb/noob/ignorant person when it comes to mining and let others ask the questions about it. I understand the Increase and Decrease in difficulty, etc though. But is this a profitable buy for you with BTC price at what it is today? If so do you or anyone else have any estimates on profit?

Thanks.

Its better to buy with fiat at the moment .

I have no plan to mine in the near future. I am just wondering if this is profitable buy for miners at the moment. Otherwise I don't see us selling them.

I think mining is now all about supporting the network and for those who love the smell of those burning ASIC's .
And also , now there are other coins too , you can switch miners to them and kind of gamble n stuff .

The message service works for FastHash One Prospector Customers , But not for previous customers .
Therefore , if you send a message through your old order , it won't be delivered , but if you message them through new order of Prospector , the message delivers perfectly .

Why would anyone keep a preorder for vmc brand asic instead of a hashfast?

Hashfast boards are now going for ~$3/gh

Vmc platinum miner is more than $10/gh

Because , I ordered from HashFast and Ken at the same time (November) , i am batch 3&4 on HashFast , And i will not be receiving anything before May . And from Ken , i will be mining this week , with 250% of power i ordered .

So , im glad i din't cancel or refunded my order .

I understand it would be a much better deal to go with the hashfast boards shipping now.

I am just wondering if there is any incentive to stick with the vmc asic instead.

As of now it seems like they are equal in power/efficiency only the vmc machine is 4 times more expensive and shipping in a few months.

Those are old miners I don't think they will ever be real products. What we have now is the Prospector and on the horizon is the Gold Rush miner which i believe is an optimized version of the Prospector. Those who held pre-orders for the old products will be receiving new products.

Ya i know , i meant equivalent hashing power , not exactly same design and stuff .

I will be receiving Prospector boards this week , from the stock saved for pre-ordered customers .

Ya , But the VMC ASIC will be a very good thing for the shareholders , and that's the only reason Ken is still working hard on getting his custom ASIC done ASAP....

Ken , Please arrange Fast Hash one boards for already pre-ordered costumers .
I've been waiting since November , and I have not yet received it .
But , if i order today , you will ship the immediately ?
I don't think that's fair ken . Huh

I have never ever asked for a refund . I just want my miners now . please.. Grin


Yes, we have a reserved a number of boards for our Pre-Order customers.  We will ship those out this week.  We will be offering all our pre-order customers a 20% discount off of our $1,999 price which is $1,599.  Pre-Order customer can use their previous order payment and apply it to the Prospector boards.



WOW...Ken that a great news for me .
I am just placing an order for 6 H80i's and seasonics . Grin

I am really glad things are happening now for real .
You just made my day ken .

Thanks.

These are definitely HashFast Chips and the Board might be a clone manufactured by someone else , As HashFast Guys do provide PCB board schematics to buyers of Only Chips .
So maybe , Ken ordered Chips long back and then he was provided with the schematics of the board , and when the chips arrived , He just applied them on the self manufactured ''clone'' board .

Ken , What PSU are you using for your boards ?
93  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: March 31, 2014, 01:39:57 AM
Hey Ken ,

When will the shipping of '' stock board '' start for already Pre-Ordered Customers ?
Thanks.

This week

Thanks , Excited Now  Grin

I have orders in batch 3 & 4 ...I just mailed them ...that all what's happening is absurd and now i really don't care ..please don't ever bother to send me your miners ...consider it as a charity to HashFast guys from my side...to cure their mental problems .

My first ever post on bitcointalk..." I am literally tired now " .

I placed an order on VMC for a Fast-Hash ONE Platinum 1.536TH-1,400 Watts .
My wire transfer payment was accepted on 2013-10-10 05:31:44 .

I then place an order for Smart-Hash™ Slide Rails .
My BTC payment through mt.gox was accepted on 2013-11-26 08:11:10 .
And was delivered on 2013-11-26 08:11:10 .

I have been waiting for my hardware since 5+ months and have been pulling my hair out starring those blank slide rails since 4+ months .

I have been very carefully reading almost every comment on the previous and this thread since January , and i am tired now .

I don't give a fuck about how much money i paid to VMC , i never asked for a refund or said anything or sent a message to ken .

I am tired going through this shit with every company i invested in , either its HashFast or VMC or BlackArrow or Alpha-t .

According to me the only successful company in this crypto bizz is KnC miner , i only have jupiters running in my data centre and nothing else and have a lot of Neptunes pre ordered and just placed orders for a lot of Titans as well . I keep posting on KnC blog , cause there we can actually talk about real miners and stuff .

I think Ken is not at fault with the failure so far . After reading the whole previous thread and this one , i think people here fuked Ken hard time since the start , sueing him and stuff makes it harder for him to work , and Ken might be so fuked up in head after reading so much senseless crap about himself . Guys its really not just the Crypto Industry , where all this is happening , The same shit is happening all over the world with all kind of things . I have pre-orders on a lot geek items i funded through Kickstarter or indigogo , I have not even received any one of them , weather its the GlassUP or the Ubuntu Edge phone .

Creating a technology takes time and a lot of work , and its not ken's fault , these things can only be estimated , and can never be sure , One might have everything in hand to create a miner , but if the fabed out chips even have 1-2% error , it can ruin the hashing power and it might not even hash at all . Same thing happened with Hash Fast , their first chips were 400GH/s , but the new ones are 700GH/s . Almost double , and all because of minor errors .

I can just ask Ken here , if he's reading this , all the best buddy , Ill be waiting for my miner , if not i really don't care about 9,000 USD i paid . If those miners ever get built , just ship them man , I am really tired now , and can't keep tracking the same thing every day . Its been 5 months , i would like to forget this whole VMC chapter and move on to other things in life . Its literally bad for health for i guess everyone on this thread , its depressing and monotonous waiting for a " HOPE TUESDAY " , every week .


Cheers!!
