So in reality it turns out those throwing the shill accusations around, were perhaps shills all along themselves, with their own agenda, being competitors, or otherwise, The only agenda I've been proccupied with is telling the truth. So here it is;

The reason I travelled all the way to Sweden.

We all know the significance of these images.

The only thing that really matters;

I found 'em!

Tonnes, upon mothetf*cking tonnes of...boxes of fans!

GREAT, btcguild is on the defense against DDOS AND CURRENTLY MY MINERS ARE DOWN......75 miles away and no remote access on my end....i hate the unexpected sometimes....and i hate being ill prepared even worse....my own doing dam

You don't have a failover pool or 3 set up? That's seriously amateurish.

That is a seriously shit quote for an ASIC Bitcoin Miner  

My thoughts exactly. I wrote some great ones for their slogan competition.
But the fact they liked "bitcoin makes the world go round", I figured they'd go for something twee in the end. And they sure did.

As they are a European manufacturer, annoying to see they used a pun on the Americanism "block". The streets ain't in blocks in Europe.

There were much better slogans, they should have done a short-list and allowed us to vote. But democracy isn't very popular these days - US or Europe...

That's one way to read into it, if you really want something to be offended about.

I am blown away!  Thanks for the fine reporting Bitcoinorama.

The big question everyone is waiting an answer for: will they ship *STH* *today*?

It's been 'hair-raising' so far!

Was "block" used as a pun? Looking it up... Drat, being a European, I didn't notice, so I took the word "block" at its literate "bitcoin block" value.

@Bitcoinorama: So there seems to be little that is actually mounted and ready to hash, though at least all the components are in one location. Chips, cases, boards, Beagles, PSUs and now heatsinks with fans are accounted for.

Seems like we need to settle for a couple of weeks of delay.

Photo's are a bit fuzzy, but aren't those boxes of heatsinks?

They have fans, and they are in boxes! Sheesh!! I'm trying my best here. You're a tough crowd to please!!

[tarmi]

wow, so many boxes.

so, with so many orders, I am pretty much sure nobody will see ROI.

Thanks for taking the time to show us the behind the scenes of the operations. I am wicked jealous that you get to see all this at a really defining moment for them. It must be just awesome to be around all that excitement. Cheers!

Meeh - I want to see blonde, big boobed girls assembling my miners 

Thx anyway for the update!

Probably more of a double-meaning than pun. American cities are built in blocks, which are roughly 80-120 metres. So being one block away from something is not very far. If you were walking to meet your friend, you might text them and say "Be there soon, I'm only one block away". So saying the whole world is only one block apart is saying it's a small world. The word play is also on the "bitcoin block" value + blockchain connecting everything in the bitcoin network. One block leads to the next etc. Well, that's what I read it to mean.

Impressive. Are those only fans? ANyone want to venture a guess how many fans per box, how many boxes and how many fans per miner, and calculate how many miners this could be used for?

I think you are reading too much into it.  Technically what is required to connect the world(communication/money) with bitcoin?  Answer: One block.  

[erk]

Well, this looks like good news.

one proud Sammy

That's one mother of a big chip package!

No, they are Arctic CPU coolers. Probably 18 per big box (based on the second photo)...

So: 18 coolers per box * 21 boxes per load * 21 loads that I can see in the pic = at least 7938 coolers

So what does the "bitcoin makes the world go round" mean? Technically, it means bitcoin are apply force/velocity to the mass known as the world and causing it to rotate upon it's axis?  

Interpret however you like, it still sucks as a slogan to me. And that's the bottom line!
(P.S. Technically, there is no line. Does that confuse you?)

Just like Superman!  Do you think that Bitcoin can send us back in time?
