XBTec Announce. New ASIC manufacturer.

[smoothie]

Finally, PCB board has been outputted yesterday.
All night and all day our engineers tested it.
We've got about 0.9W/Ghs power consumption.
Tomorrow we will assemble all these stuff in one case and test.

Tomorrow I will upload short video of working device, I think.

Great! It's the "I think" part that scares me  

Time, and sleep. They are working hard.

Working hard and working smart are two different things and are worlds apart.

Not a surprise they didnt hit their ship date. More of the same.

[DimensionsOfHell]

S3 is already up for sale, at about $1/gh and 0.77w/gh.

2TH from the Antminer S3 (4 units, being BTC0.75 each) would only pull about 1560w, and cost $1935 (as of BTC price being $645 when writing) without the PSU's, so you must add in the cost of PSU.



So.... what do you guys got? When will it be ready? And what price point will it really end up being?

[tzortz]

Are you kidding me?

They dont have any finished product to show yet.

And you , also, mean that there is no bet , even if they wont ship at all?

The bet is over when we have reached a conclusion.

They have not proven to be a scam or proven to have hardware less efficient than 1w/gh.

So sorry but no I am not going to call the bet early because you are getting impatient.

It is two months already.

How long do we have to wait then?

[jimmothy]

It is two months already.

How long do we have to wait then?

It's been one month..

They seem very close to having a completed prototype so any day now we should know.

[ChuckBuck]

You guys @tzortz @jimmothy should set a hard cutoff date for your bet:

Estimated date of output sample devices for test: 10 June
When test sample will output, we will send one device to Dogie for review.

Estimated date of output first batch: 17th June (very limited quantity)
Estimated date of 2nd batch: 15 July

Since they already missed their first date, set the cutoff at July 15th.

If they have nothing to show for it: no prototypes, no review unit for Dogie, no working proof, then tzortz wins by default.

If they somehow have something working in video, pics, Eligius stats, etc, then you go to the original bet parameters.


These guys smell like Black Arrow part 2 somehow.  Just something slimy about this outfit...

[teeGUMES]

Yea I really don't like how they have accepted money from buyers or set new possible dates that they may not make. Oh wait.. they aren't accepting money for "pre orders" from us miners. They also communicated they ran in to problems and rather than toss up a bullshit future date it looks like they have been solving the issues.

Let's get a definition check on the word estimate for some of these guys. These guys came straight out and said they would send a unit to Dogie for review, we didn't have to ask them to do this. Worse comes to worse Dogie never gets a unit and this thread was only good to raise your post count.

Be a smart buyer, don't buy until Dogie gives the a-ok,  and go buy an S3 to bid you over til the release of this miner.

[Djo]

That`s good attitude.
I hope you will post all those infos when you are ready.
Best wishes

we do not accepting money for pre-orders. We have enough BTC to design device by our own forces.
So, why do you blaming us?

you have misread what i wrote, it was sarcasm towards the people complaining about your progress.

What i was trying to get across was that you guys are doing exactly what the industry standard should be, no pre orders ( because delays can happen and no one likes their money tied up ) and when there is an issue or a delay you communicated with us and rather than set a new possibly unachievable date, you instead got down to work and it appears you fixed it. Keep up the good work.

We will get cases and heatsinks nearest few days.
Anyway, its running without case and heatsinks. Of course in test mode.

What is the magazine for?

Prove the date (that its not an old picture), like a newspaper. Its probably a recognisable one, although its clear that its a world cup issue.

Yes world cup, but for which year?

If they had that machine in 2010 they wouldn't need to start their own company of asic manufacturers.

XBTEC RUN SCAM SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN NO PAY NO ONE
EVERY WEEK LATE MANY EXCUSE

OP hasn't been online for a couple of days, give the guy a break.

XBTEC RUN SCAM SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN NO PAY NO ONE
EVERY WEEK LATE MANY EXCUSE

A newbie can join a signature campaign?   I thought that only a signature was visible when with Jr Member and above.

He was obviously using a new account to flame OP.

[XBTec]

If there exist really unsatisfied users?
Did we took advance payments from somebody?
Did we cheating to someone?
If yes, prove it. If no, why these Newibes blaming us without evidences.

We delayed payments for signature advertising for few days, but this problem solved already.
We did pay to everybody.

We delayed sending test device to Dogie for review. But it was a technical problem and we do not repudiate our promises. When tested device will on our hands we will send it to Dogie.

I bet, behind this newibes one of our competitors.
We do not hide behind laptop displays. If anyone wants to see we are legal we are ready to meet.

[tzortz]

Everything runs so fast in bitcoinland, except you.
You promised for some test machines and some batches but nothing.

I wonder why you make announcements when you have nothing to show.


hey Jimmy, where is the bet here?

Hey Tzortz, I think you give Jimmothy until the end of the day for the bet according to XBTec's guidelines:

Estimated date of output sample devices for test: 10 June
When test sample will output, we will send one device to Dogie for review.

Estimated date of output first batch: 17th June (very limited quantity)
Estimated date of 2nd batch: 15 July

If no one has a shipping number or proof that these are even in production, then after the 15th, you should definitely hit up Jimmothy for your payday.

It is more than obvious, that XBTec have not got anything to show yet. Even if they ship "something", they will have to pull that out of their arses. No chance they have a working unit now, otherwise they would at least post some video.

So, if they do not have the production of their miners in some kind of a parallel reality, there are ZERO chances, that they can keep their promises.

I want to see, what jimmothy has to say about this.

P.S. Popcorn time
