Prepaid Pre-Orders Only

[mog]

Seems a bit fishy to me, would you consider shipping a unit to a established member of the bitcoin community to verify your units? Accepting escrow would go a long way towards trust factor.

Exactly what i was thinking, i'm not trolling or anything, but you, as all us, members of this forum, when we hear "pre-order" or "pre-payment" ...
Where are you located ? How about local pick-up ?

Yes, I understand what everyone thinks.  Springfield Missouri.  Yes you can, still has to be pre- ordered

[dogie]

I'm willing to verify a unit and post results. I have no affiliations; I hate everyone equally.

I think that someone like John would be ok to receive and review the unit, everybody trusts him, of course, if seller want to do this kind of promotion.

[newmars]

it would be better to use escrow

We will have the prototype build in about 3 weeks, this is a clone of the Avalon without any changes, so it is already tested.  We will be posting pictures of the prototype when we receive it.

[kslaughter]

Yes, you are right, however do you know how much $$ it takes to build 150 machines.

Yes, John is the most trust person on the board.  However, all the parts and chips will not be here until August.  We are working on a very aggressive schedule to get the machines shipped by the end of August.  That is the reason for only doing 50 machines.

[kslaughter]

Anyone who want to come to our manufacturing location at 450 H S. Union in Springfield, Missouri is welcome, just give us a call at 855-One-Bitcoin (663-2482) so we can arrange a time to meet you.  Also, just had a meeting last Thursday for the first time with a fellow miner here is Springfield.  His forum name is rustyh17, I am sure if you sent him a PM he would tell you that I am a real person.  He has offered to help us set up our manufacturing line.

@kslaughter - I can be an escrow if this buyers want it.

[ninjaboon]

I can be an escrow with 1% tips. I'm trusted in Malaysia. Here is my profile : http://bitcoinmalaysia.com/contact/

@ninjaboon Due to the high front-end cost to manufacture these machines, it is not possible to do escrow.  This is why BFL, Avalon, and many others have to do Prepaid Pre-Orders.

Hi,
I looked the the websites

The Fast-Hash pics on your website seem just like 5-years old servers.
Motherboard, PCI ports, DRAM
DVD player !?
VGA, Serial port, audio jack ??

Few questions about the specs (in your post, or in the website):
- What's the plan to expand with from 20 to 1.28 TH/s with the same unit (but future "modules")
- How do you achieve 4.8TH/s in a box ?
- What is your development plan for the the 45nm and 28nm architectures you list ?

A bit more transparency on your development phases would benefit in gaining trust, rather than vaguely claiming 4.8THs with a potential 28nm. It might be just marketing for your investor part of the business, but like many others you seem to ride on a bit of vapore.
I appreciate your more realistic claims that I've seen the these posts here answering questions. We've learnt more than in all the rest.

Sure, the pictures are from the manufacture of the cases we are going to use.  Our prototype is in the process of being build.  The estimate on the time to get it completed is three weeks.  The Avalon clones we are building do not scale, so we will have a trade in program for our customers to protect their investment in our bitcoin mining equipment. 

How we plan to scale to 1.28 TH/s is with our own PCIe board which uses that interface for communications.  What that does in our system is that it allows up to go from 1 card ~20 GH/s to 64 cards using the main system plus 4 expansion cases.  So 64 cards time 20 GH/s = 1,280 GH/s or 1.28 TH/s

Now, to do the 4.8 TH/s is a box uses the same set up above, but has our next generation cards in the unit.  Each card will be 75 GH/s.  These specification are subject to change as we are still working on our 45nm and 28nm chips.

The plan for the 45nm and or 28nm chip is to build the card about and an even fast card with the 28nm chip.

I hope i have answered your questions, if not feel free to ask here or PM me.

[kslaughter]

*So 64 cards times 20 GH/s = 1,280 GH/s or 1.28 TH/s

.. you are a hero 

[krlekm]

Rack is very nice, but what is the purpose of PC board ?
Please explain the principle of operation.
Does this mean that they will be able to mining some other virtual currency, for example. LTC ...
If you guaranteed to be 80 GH/s and if I'm in the top 50 for delivery 8/31/2013,
with respect to the estimated increase of difficulty,
and any profitability of mining BTC,
my offer is 65 ~ BTC 5000 EUR for one piece.

The units we have on the web site are just pictures of our cases, the Avalon clones only have a controller board, not a motherboard.  However, our future series will
have a motherboard and you will be able to mine LTC with the CPU on those units.  We will be providing a trade in plan for these Avalon clones to allow our customers
to upgrade to our expandable series of machines.  The machines are guaranteed to do at least 80 GH/s.  So we will take you offer of 65 BTC if you are in the top
50.

You have nothing. At all. Just pictures of some generic server case and that is it. Auctioning what you don't have is FRAUD

But I give you the opportunity to prove me wrong as I said I would.  I said I will be in your neck of the woods soon in Springfield, and that will be next week on my road trip down to South Carolina. I will come to your "shop" and check out what you have, and create a fair report on my findings in CoinCanary. PM me if you want to arrange a visit. If you do not take me up on this, I have to venture you are full of crap and a scammer. Ill be there probably around the 17th.
