Dear all,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I see that in the meantime some users lost the control which is fully understandable given the pressure, but we can assure you that we had no lot of chips that we could mine with earlier than yesterday other than a few hundred samples. Also, we have always received any visitor that wanted to come up here and meet us, we've literally met hundreds of customers over the last months so you can ask one of them if we're real or scam, or you can come to see for yourself too!
So, after a relatively long time waiting for the first production lot of CoinCraft A1 chips, yesterday they've hit our warehouse and we've finally started the production of the CoinCraft Desk products.
It took a huge effort from our engineering team, but we've finally been able to reach our promised hashing rates on the series of CoinCraft units. Several prototype runs of the boards have been necessary, along with fine tuning and optimizations (especially on the power supply blocks and cooling) carried out by highly specialized engineers, but at the end we've finally made it to reach the required hashing power of 200 GH/s at nominal on our hashing units for the CoinCraft Desk device!
Final production stage has now started, meanwhile the capacity of our assembly facility has been increased by 200% from our original plans to cope up with the accumulated delays, below you'll find some eye candy pictures to see how big we're moving forward.
The customer protection plan will trigger for all order placed with delivery in December 2013 and January 2014, while February and later orders shouldn't be affected and should be shipped as scheduled. If you've chosen a shipping option, your order will change from "Processing" to "Complete" along with the tracking number for express shipments, but if you've chosen the pickup option, you will be further contacted by our support staff to arrange pickup dates and details.
A big thank you goes to all of our loyal customers that have had patience during this long waiting period!
Also, as you can see from the other topic on this forum, we've been widely supporting the community and have shipped out hundreds of chip samples. Additionally, quite a few work has been going on with different manufacturers that now have already other miner designs working on our A1 chips, so many interesting things are going to come up in the near future!
Here are a few pictures of the production:
An idea of what we mean by a LOT of chips!
Partially assembled cases go into the next stage of assembly where hash units are mounted and tested before being packaged and shipped to you.
Six production lines on two daily shifts is the way to recover from a delay very, very fast!
Did you mention power supplies? Each box is an extremely powerful 3000W power supply for the CoinCraft Rigs.
