Just heard from JJ. He is fine. Says he will post here later tonite.
hi,
sorry to freak everyone out, I tried to warn a few key people before my hiatus, that I would be gone for 1-2 days.
this weekend we were moving and it wasnt a short move 200 miles, we started friday morning and just finished today.
Dont worry, The boards are all fine, I was able to load them with firmware using the avdragon and it was recognized by linux and mining software, I can not mine them at the moment because somehow during the move I lost the cooling hardware and have not found it yet, for those who want concrete video evidence of it mining before you order, I dont blame you, I will make it available to you within the next couple of days, I promise.
Tomorrow morning I will be back at it and I will take care of any unanswered PM's that happened over the weekend, and anyone that wants to order we will get you all setup.
We already have customer boards in production:
dwdoc , your estimated ship date has been posted from the assembly house, Ill email you the date.
any customer service stuff, if you have chips coming its better to get the orders in ASAP so you can get your order out
its a 5 day build time but can take 7-10 days from the time your chips arrive until the day you actually receive working boards.
Ill be back in the morning!
Sorry to disappear for the weekend!
i need some sleep...

Good Morning, we are all settled in new place, and I just placed an order this morning for new cooling hardware with frozencpu who happens to be a company that is fairly local, I ordered UPS overnight delivery so I should have it tomorrow morning and will make sure to have pics and video of hashing for everyone tomorrow, just remember the speeds wont be accurate because these boards were made with sample chips because this was started before BFL shipped chips to anyone.
Dwdoc already has his order started in production he had his 100 chips sent directly to assembly house and he already has his shipping date from the assembly house, its his business so he can share it if he wants to, but its really not bad turn around time.
I will answer PM's and emails a little later, and dont worry Ill make sure I will provide more some eye candy tomorrow because that is what some of you are waiting for.
I have had some questions about ordering process and basically it goes like this.
1) You notify me by email, PM or via website of your order and when your chips are coming in.
2) When chips are ready to come in you make payment
3) I will give you a .pdf you can print out with a postage label with your unique customer order number
4) shortly after you will receive an estimated ship date
5) boards ship to me where I load with firmware and put the cooling system together which I am ordering in bulk so I will have it on hand
6) I ship the boards out to you
7) you plug them in mine some coin and be happy
I will also take special requests like PCB sales, DIY Kits, and boards without cooling systems , contact me to find out prices
will be around later got lots to catch up on!
