Official BITMINE CoinCraft series 28nm ASIC miners thread

[ljp]

Posting here insisting on a response is not likely to be helpful to you, or to the community.

what is the official thread then here for?
I would have assumed that's the one thread about bitmine where bitmine itself is participating. Otherwise just delete the "official" (as proposed earlier ) and I fully agree.

A forum thread should not be the channel that a company uses to communicate with its customers, (lost in the other threads, not visible to people visiting the company website)  that should be done thru the company website, after all, the company is paying for a web presence, why not use it.

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.

Thanks giorgio massa for this update. It looks great.

Do you have something to say about turbomode, and how much additional hash we will get with turbo?
Is the 30-50% increase still reachable? Or how much can we expect?

This is the one open question besides delay that is talked about often...

[mmitech]

thank you so much giorgio, you really lifted a huge amount of pressure off me, I am not a direct customer of yours but I invested in Cryptx operation PETA-Mine which will mostly use your hardware, now I can sleep without worries.

[Anotheranonlol]

Good update.

[stevebrowne]

+1, in fact EXCELLENT update

[segaklon]

Gracias , Thanks , ole -ole

With two balls, the best news in a while.

[tranquille]

I need an official explanation (letters, forum) from BITMINE. Five minutes to answer my dear investors, they are bound to find!

You should use a bigger font, maybe try red, or the blink tag if that still exists.
Yelling always solves everything. If it doesn't, yell louder.

Lol nice one!

[Altaran]

Very good news indeed !

But what about turbo mode and final consumption figures ?

[Powell]

noob question I know but you mention production for the Desk products does this also mean the Rig products as well?

[Cheshyr]

So when the website says Shipping March 3 week, does that mean March 3-7, or March 17-21?

giorgiomassa: I've emailed multiple times trying to determine what the delivery date should have originally been for my order (shipping queue #188), so I can know how far into the CPP I am so far. Antonio has replied to the emails, but without answering the question yet. Can you please consider making that info available to your support staff, or posting some sort of list? It could be as simple as something like this:

*** EXAMPLE ***
Ship Queue numbers 1-50: "Agreed Shipment Date" = Dec 1 (if actual delivery is after Dec 10, at least 10% additional hardware)
Ship Queue numbers 51-100: "Agreed Shipment Date" = Dec 8 (if actual delivery is after Dec 17, at least 10% additional hardware)
Ship Queue numbers 101-150: "Agreed Shipment Date" = Dec 15 (if actual delivery is after Dec 24, at least 10% additional hardware)
Ship Queue numbers 151-200: "Agreed Shipment Date" = Dec 22 (if actual delivery is after Dec 31, at least 10% additional hardware)
...
*** END EXAMPLE ***

Without a defined start date, the CPP is too vague. Maybe you could take a few minutes to copy my example above and just edit the numbers?

[Daveb0]

Good update.

+1 finally (good) news
I hope the HW engineers have a few days off now  

[GodfatherBond]

Absolutely great news!

Woud be nice to know turbo mode speed for Desk?

Excellent question. What is Dec 1 in your example? Was this also posted as Week 1 of December?
What does Week X mean? Is it really the first day of the week, as was confirmed by bitmine support?
This should be in written form, so people can have an EXACT DATE, or else it's too vague.

oh that would be so great to know where tho get these

I really hate the vagueness of stuff like "March 3 week" and "week of Dec 15". It makes me feel the person is intentionally trying to leave themselves wiggle room. All the dates in the examples above and below are actual exact days, plain and simple.

Here's an even more clear format:
