Official BITMINE CoinCraft series 28nm ASIC miners thread

[giorgiomassa]

Two major news for CoinCraft are:
1) 50BTC.com partnership: starting from yesterday, users of the 50BTC.com mining pool will be able to buy directly from them our CoinCraft products.
...

How will 50BTC orders be treated vs. direct orders for order shipped?  Are they all in the same queue based on time of order?

Yes, you enter the shipping queue only once the payment has been cleared. If it's in Bitcoin, it's immediate. If it's wire transfer, depending on your location in the world, it can be from 1 to 5 business days. This applies to any order, if it's placed directly through our website or through one of our licensed distributors.

Will you publish a list to disclose which order number is in which queue spot like Hashfast does?

You said on your web site that you've licensed an exclusive-patented sha-256 work engine.  can you say more about which sha-256 engine youve licensed and what is its spec?

You also said that the process youve used is the Global Foundries 28nm HPP.... and that your voltage runs at 0.5, 0.65 and 0.75 volts, depending on low power, nominal and turbo modes?  yet these voltages are much lower than Global Foundries claimed voltages for HPP.  Is that intentionally running at much lower than the official voltage (0.85v) or a misprint ?

I hope my coupons come today for orders #435, and #521 so I can get myself into that queue (emailed yesterday).

How 50btc customers will know their shipping queue id/date?
Is customer protection plan applies on 50btc customers?

If anyone's interested in buying a fractional ownership of a Bitmine Coincraft 500GH/s unit *at cost* please see my new Group Buy for my 2nd Group Buy (my first was with John K. Escrow) via BTCrow, for those that want optional escrow services and post-sales dispute resolution.

I had no idea I was doing a 2nd GB this morning but it just so happens that there's already 10% of the 40 shares *soft* reserved in just a few hours. 1 share = $125 paid via BTC in the BTC amount at the current exchange rate to equal $125 (if 1 BTC = $125 at time of sale, then 1BTC is the cost of the share). This prevents the GB Coordinator from either profiting or losing from currency volatility because I'm all about trying to share Group Buy shares at or near cost.

Actual sales start at 50% filled soft reserves, with any escrow protected funds held by BTCrow until the success or failure of the GB. Since I have a mesh network of vetted miner hosts already in place from my first GB and my GBEC services,  I even have a backup hosting site available in another state nearby, if necessary. I've gone from dubious to convinced Bitmine has a good shot at 28nm 2013 delivery, so color me impressed.

Two quick questions:
1) How many chips do you expect in the first batch?
2) This caught my eye on your website:

"Customized high power IC package

One of the practical limits of current generation ASIC designs is the high supply current that the IC requires. Some have tried to work around this problem by using a huge amount of BGA pins, but this design makes the final package bigger, more expensive and subject to dangerous thermal excursions of the package that could lead to crackings. We have solved the problem by adopting a custom package that uses bars instead of pins for the power supply, giving plenty of energy to the IC while keeping the package size small and resistant to the high power dissipation figures involved in Bitcoin mining.

Ive never heard of anything like that, but it sounds like a (very) good idea. Just out of technical curiosity, Can you elaborate? Any pics you can show of this package?

Placed an order and immediately paid with BTC, but order status shows "on hold" and I've not received any e-mail confirming receipt of the coins (or a delivery date).  Is this normal?  I was assuming I'd get some automated acknowledgement of the coins arriving.  Or is it all a manual process?

Okay, well my order went from 'on hold' to processing, which I guess is good.  But how long should it take to receive the email with the ship date?

I got the code today and applied it to a new order.

Now I get to play the waiting game some more.

Cheers.

What should the expected speed be for the 500GH/s CoinCraft Rig on Turbo mode?

I saw it listed for the desk model, but not for the Rig. Any there any numbers you can commit to?

[vesperwillow]

looks like there's a few spots open for registration. Tried 50K

I think they should offer us a paid visit of their facilities complete with women and drinks for us to do with as we please, for that kind of order, or one which hits 6 digits at least. What say you giorgio?

Your policies have no mortal use if you change them like you want. Already happened!

wow so angry, let me guess, you are still waiting the refund ?
and I also wrongly sent you the upgrade offer,
just ignore it, sorry for the mistake, your refund will follow shortly.

Guys we are working really hard for make everyone happy, is not always easy, so forgive us if we are not perfect!

Today another week has passed, nothing received. Tommorow 1 month is over since I have requested my refund. You had enough time. If you can not provide me any evidence the bank transfer is done till tommorow I'm going to file a cause because of commercial fraud on Monday. My lawyer already advised me to do that. I' at the end of my patience.

@all other customers
Don't tell me you havn't been warned.

Had the same. Just email them. Response time was pretty good.

How trustable is bitmine.ch

Hard to say, I think you have to be careful:

After BFL and Avalon I won't pay without cc or paypal anymore.

[cimpex]

Still no answer, no refund, no refund evidence.

Their customers have to pay immediatly and customers have to wait at least 30 days. This is how bitmine is doing business.

// Got an answer, it seems my refund is on the way since today. Don't unterstand why several messages and threats are necessary to get any movement.

I hope the best for all the other customers, who decided to go for 28nm. For me I'm just out of that game. Risk is not worth it.

// Finally I received my full refund.

[darkfriend77]

I just saa, this sentence in terms & conditions ...

Every effort will be made to ship the goods within the shipment date specified on the Paid Order Acceptance Confirmation email.

So, if I understand that right I need to pay first before I get a binding shipment date from you part?

Thx

[RHA]

How does Paid Order Acceptance Confirmation email looks like?
Has anyone got it?

Hi,
we answered individually with the queue position and the estimated delivery time.
