look on the bright side, as some pre-order owners drop out and request refunds, this will open up doors for people waiting in line to get a crack at owning one or a few cards. the situation is unfortunate however it will benefit some into the game.

I just processed the paypal refunds -- So far we're looking at about 800 boards that we'll reopen sales on later in the month. (only about 150 of those were refund requests, the others were someone who never paid) If you ordered from fpga.land and would like to request a refund you can send an email to sales@fpga.land requesting it. We'll process them ASAP. If you didn't get a chance to purchase a board you will again be able to. You can register on the website at https://fpga.land/ and we'll send out a mass email when sales reopen. We're waiting for Xilinx to give us firm delivery timelines and we will update everyone when we know more.

Just to clarify: The entire 5000-piece run was sold out. Someone failed to pay for a large order. Those units (approximately 800, originally) are now available on https://store.mineority.io. AllMine (fpga.land) is no longer processing orders. You can also go to http://squirrelsresearch.com, where you'll be redirected to the mineority.io site. AllMine, Squirrels Research, and Mineority have effectively partnered on this deal. Some units are also available on https://blackbox.cat, who is also a part of their team in some way. Anyone else offering BCU-1525s is not an authorized re-seller, and likely a scam - they're popping up on a daily basis.

Anyone else offering BCU1525 are only middlemen that want to take their cut on the processs. On that large order, around 650 bcu where not paid.. add to that the people who wanted a refund since there is this waiting list we have to go on that arent in control of xininx hands... But honestly, the squirrel team handle the best they can toward that situation, and I saw way more scam in the past to tell that they are a legit team that are ''attacking'' the next future. Let's do it.

UPDATE:
We achieved 41Mh/s at 225W of power usage on Lyra2z today. The board operated for approximately 20 minutes before shutdown occurred. As reported by whitefire and others, the BMC disables the board when temperature exceeds configured shutdown temperatures. We were operating on a completely unmodified VCU-1525; it has no upgraded cooling or components like the BCU-1525 will have. We are confident enough in the hashrate now to report 40Mh/s as the shipped hashrate for lyra2z. There is still some room for some improvement and we may be able to achieve up to 60Mh/s.

how many FPGAs Lyra2z can handle before the earnings drop? I remember there was a table on Zetheron website but I can't find it ...

According to whattomine.com the total Lyra2z hashrate is around 600 Gh/s. 5000 units at 60 Mh/s would add ~300 GH/s so this could reduce earnings per Mh/s by 30-40%. Obviously it's not that simple. GPU miners might start to leave if profitability drops, coins might fork, etc.

I am looking to buy around 8 FPGA cards for mining, does anyone have good advise? I do not have the mining software for it so I will need a full solution not just the cards.
thank you all

Once the cards start shipping. Possibly sooner for people who have VCU-1525 units.

In addition to the refund units we still have one large mine who ordered 665 boards and never paid for them. If you didn't get a chance to purchase in the first round there will be a large number of units available. I'll set the maximum order qty at 4 to give everyone a chance to purchase enough for chaining. In other news, we're still hard at work on bitstreams. We've had some trouble with the lyra2z but we're slowly moving forward. We received some positive results this week indicating it may be possible to operate the engine as fast as 350mhz without any overclock. This would work out to a hashrate around 35Mh/s on lyra2z (8,8,8 -- not zcoin). We've also begun work on the PHI2 engine. Based on our lyra2z work it appears we should be able to achieve hashrates in the 100-150MH/s range. Is Xilinx to ship partial BCUs, but do you know how many concrete it will be? Also, are shipments given priority in the order number? If I want for a refund from where can I apply? Also, in case of refund in crypto, will it be refunded at the current price? 1) We should have more information soon; it's still unclear at this point. 2) I discussed this briefly with David. We could fulfill all the small orders (1-8 units) and then some. We were also discussing a lottery. It's a moot point until we know if we will receive partial fulfillment. 3) If you ordered from fpga.land you can send an email to sales@fpga.land to request a refund if you wish. 4) All orders are in USD. If you request a crypto refund you will be sent crypto at USD conversion rate at the time of the refund. (Yes) it s been more than 2 weeks since I contacted you to get a refund of 2 VCU 1525 because the delivery time is too long and I still have nothing. When will you refund?

We've been processing refunds as fast as we can. We do have a large volume of them and as a group buy we did send all funds to Xilinx. We have a purchase for crypto pending that will be used to refund all of the crypto orders and bank orders who have requested crypto refund.

I'm interested in buying 1 unit of this FPGA Cryptominer card and found all buying options ran dry now, seeing https://fpga.land/. How can I buy it from you? (This is from South Korea.) Is it still valid unit now or better, newer unit on the way soon? (I have no cryptocurrencies yet.) Thanks in advance.
