Good Morning,
sorry I never came back on IRC last night. You can count on me to be here every day for a period of time but right now there is no possible way I be online all day long. I am in the process of setting up a 6 th/s datacenter way up in northern NY near the Canadian border. (cheap cooling and electricity!)
So heres what I did because I know people want to see the board hashing and I will be completely honest I don't really understand how to setup this board properly, there is a bit of a language/time zone barrier between form, lucko and myself its possible I didnt understand the instructions properly and its possible I just did something wrong they are much more technically inclined then myself, and this is their design after all.
so as I stated yesterday I have two fully assembled 16 chip production boards, I had three but I killed one of them because I loaded the firmware too early.
At any rate here are the problems:
1)I don't want to kill any more boards.
2)People want to see video of this hashing before they place an order which I understand.
So here are my solutions:
I send two boards out:
One went to Luke-JR, he will have it today or tomorrow at the latest, and this will allow him to test with latest bfgminer and also post video of board hashing so everyone can see proof that the board works
which we already know it does, but I understand people want to see for themselves.
The other board I sent to fedex express directly to Form in Germany he should get it by early next week at the latest.
Now as far as contacting me it would be better to email me at
jj@cointamination.org - the limitations of the PM system on this forum are cumbersome and I do not have time for that.
Right now I have only accepted one order for six boards, his ship date is coming up very soon and to be honest I really want to see how this first customer order turns out before I accept any others.
Because I am not sure If I am going to be setting the boards up after production or if someone else will do this role, but either way it will get done and we will make sure your boards are set up, running properly and shipped out to you ASAP, we really appreciate customer trust and loyalty and we will take care of you. It will be awesome to see these boards finally made with real high grade chips.
If anyone has any problems with this they can certainly place an order with Lucko, even if you are from the US if you have your chips already and are in a hurry to get them made your welcome to place an order with him, he has an assembly facility in Slovenia and I am sure they can make these boards just as well. My main concern here is that everyone gets a good product and in a timely fashion, and I don't want to be in a situation where customers are unhappy.
My role on this project was to get the PCBs made and the production Boards professionally Assembled, which I have done. I thought I could handle setting them up but as I stated before I ruined one board in the process and dont want to make that mistake again so I am sending the other two production boards to people who already know how to set them up and there is no learning curve involved here.
As soon as Luke-JR/Form receive their boards you will see them in action and we can move forward.
If you have any specific questions you need answered right away please contact Lucko I cannot guarantee I will be able to respond right away but I will make sure I respond to emails everyday so if you have a question that needs answering right away I would contact him.
I have to run, lucko - form I will see you on IRC in a little bit
-jj
