Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

options were $15 for a 215, $35 to a 215+. add $20 for shipping. and they will be cross shipped.
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice...  they should be upgrading for free.  ESP after the launch this company had.  Typical of crypto tho.   Now trying to save face because they knew the original device wouldn’t do what they purported them to do.  All theory.  They basically did sell you a paper weight.  They then used that money to build them the real product.  Aren’t we all tired of being made out as suckers yet???

i hear ya. but ive got around a grand tied up in acorms and nests, so whats an extra $55.

sure i think this is wrong on one level, the 101 upgrade should be free. and i thought there was going to be a special 215 model that the 101 could trade to. speced out somewhat under a standard 215.

i would have done it like so:

101 to "special edition" 215 - free, including free shipping.
101 to 215 and 215plus - ok add a bit for trades like that.

i think they (they = someone i have no remembrance of who or if they are connected to sqrl) said those who keep the 101s may have some sort of special, one time support algo boost on something but no later updates for it.

but again i just see bits and pieces from discord so take all that i say with a grain of salt.

once i have the upgraded part ill post.

and sure this reeks of some sort of exit strategy. but at least this is much more classy. for whats THATs worth.

Yes it’s very wrong. At the very least for squirrel to gain some trust back they should ship upgrades for free to all customers.  Then send the customers bills and wait for payment.  If they don’t get paid well that’s punishment for bad design and execution.  As it is now only customers are feeling the pain.  And they continue to try to bleed you out.  Fuck them for being so full of themselves.  Excuse my French

I don't get it why anyone is even willing to pay that $55 and get 215+ when the miner isn't even out, yet
Let the sw come out and then do the upgrade? What's the hurry?

They muted me for three days for asking if people remember "Cold Fusion" that became so "promising" in 1989    I trully think that those snippets of info from GPUHoarder are just becoming funny and those two support people are like mushrooms

They muted me there as well  Mods there are easily triggered now.  

Their efforts to put something out to back their website claims is looking more and more like a joke with each new passing week.

I have been showing my co-worker who's into cryptocurrency mining the ridiculous of SQRL research, he wisely gone the used Z9 mini route and I stupidly went with these overpriced crash easy 215+ acorns.  I had no idea going FPGA over ASIC would turn into such a tremendous flop.

I am still mining with my Z9 mini ASICs

Oh so you're Esme squalor, maybe you shouldn't go around trolling with fake dates.

You are aware that a z9 mini at 13cents /kw profits at 17 cents a day right? They launched at $2,000 when new.

They run at around $500 with PSU, that's obviously used to hell and back.

You can easily get two 215+ that bring it 3 cents a day profit each for that cost. That's 6 cents vs the 17 cents profit. Now here the thing though, those 215+ will have different bitstreams come out and buy July won't literally be sold for parts, the z9 not so much.

Believe it or not you're in a better position than you're buddy.

Please do not forget that first batch Z9 mini was released in June and therefore has already ROI'ed. The Z9 minis from the second batch were ~$600 for me. My elctricity cost is ~7c/kWh and Z9  ASICs are still earning more for me than any GPUs (Grin mining on RTX2070 was for a short time more profitable)

well IF the software ever arrives i would like to have the replacement already in hand to run on day one of the release.

dunno how long this whole 101 swapout thing will take (days? weeks?) but if i had a lot of (or perhaps only) 101s i sure wouldnt be happy that everyone else is mining away while my 101s sit around till the swap finishes.

so i am glad the swap came 1st.

worse comes to worse now ill have three matching paperweights instead of two 215+s and an oddball 101.

Wrong, you were muted for being off topic again, after being asked to stop posting in the wrong channel. Let's not try to play the victim here.

"easily triggered" I've looked at your recent post history on discord and was wondering why no one muted you before. It's only temporary and the goal is to see individuals who are unmuted to return back to less "troll" discussions in the hardware channels.


Ever since we became stricter on muting trolls who have no intention of actually contributing to any discussion, more productive talk has happened in discord and less shit is posted every day in the wrong channels. People that were given a time out have come back to the discussion less toxic or resolved their issues in PMs. It's not an objective of mine to mute people who have negative things to say against SQRL or any company, criticize them all you want but there is a line that needs to be drawn for some people who take it too far.

Cold Fusion was very much on topic, if you remember what it was all about. I also asked about boondoggle 

[philipma1957]

I don't bother posting on the discord anymore.

I have to thank mfurman for breaking balls months ago as it saved me around 800 usd.

FOMO is hard to overcome. I’m glad your starting to come around.  A little anyway. It still takes other users to steer you clear.  Why don’t you Start asking the hard questions.  Quit worrying about whether it will tarnish your rep.  I’m here for answers.  If this is truly going to be the worlds means of transactions then people need to take this shit serious.  Stop tip toeing around the questions that an honest person would have no issues or hesitation to answer.  This world is going to shit because too many worry about how this will effect my income vs doing the right thing.  There is A final destination for those with this way of thinking. 

“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”

Could it be because I hardly post on your FPGA discord since sensing you becoming extremely triggered. 

Like the time you bitched down my back for posting a non-offensive gif image and tried to make a big deal out of it. 

So spare us your damage control. 

The only thing we want here is that company you work for to produce what they claim 8 months ago was achievable. 
Silencing out the customers for statements or snarky reactions to your company's incompetence and failure to produce anything viable is a reflection on YOU and SQRL not the customer.

Shows how much your useless trolling has gotten you, if you dont even know dream is unpaid for modding and has no affiliation with SQRL. Time to sell ur shit for 5 $ and move on.

It didn't matter if it was offensive or not, every image or GIF posted that is not related to the topic of the channel is removed. There is no damage to control, just trolls to mute. I'm pretty sure you're the incompetent one here... I do not work for SQRL nor do any members of the moderation team, work for any company that has a channel in the discord server.

[Elder III]

I can confirm that Dream is not a SQRL employee, nor are the other mods on Discord (thought it was common knowledge actually).

idc all you have said is that he works as a moderator for free on their discord channel (still work), and that the company produces shit.

Tell me something that I don't know. 

[philipma1957]

Taking no sides  but fpga discord has some squirrel channels.

Frankly  they are very protective of what has become a big f-up with the acorns.

I would say this I would not want to be the mods for fpga  since it means I end up protecting  the acorn channel
If I modded on discord I would not do so for the acorn channel.
I would be looking to be fully and completely not involved with acorn as a protector of them.  
Since discord is allowing sql-acorn to have a thread/section.
Since the mods protect the section
Since acorns look worse and worse as time goes on
I would want zero involvement with them.
My fear as a mod on discord would be if sql-acorn is sued I would be named

Lucky for me  sqls-acorn  told me last year we don't need or want any help from you.
It is here in this thread way back. That they wanted no escrow from me or any help in any way.

To all that are burnt good money I wish you luck in recovering it. Soon


the mods are the same for bittware


the mods are the same for acorn

[vapourminer]

[...] Soon

ah so i see youre familiar with the sqrl-acorn channel  

[cryptolumos]

My fear as a mod on discord would be if sql-acorn is sued I would be named

Really Phillip? Lol yeah im gonna name some randoms from a discord they moderate. Its a public forum just like this, in no way are they tied to SQRL any more than you would be having posted there.

smh, a dude with ur rep saying stupid things like that come on.
