March 29 2013I want to clarify the above post, as there is some potential confusion. We are not shipping yet. We plan on shipping possibly by the end of next week, but I will update on a shipping schedule as soon as I have more definitive information with regards to that. Two weeks later... 15 April 2013 Update
Short update today, more to come in the next day or two, hopefully.
We've been working on getting the software and firmware nailed down. Things are mostly stabilized at this point and with our current boards (we do not have the redesigned boards in house yet), power usage exceeds the 1w/GH, unfortunately, but it's much better than anything out by 40 - 50%, at the wall. We are gearing up to start shipping out some dev boards and a few Jalapeno's most likely this week (at least a few dev boards) and then as more chips roll in we'll be shipping out the Jalapeno's. When the new boards land in KC, we'll start shipping Little Singles and Singles at that time. I don't currently have a time frame for those, but I should have something later this week in regards to that.
Obviously, the minirig can't fit 1.5 TH/s in a case the size of what we were planning, but we have some interesting solutions with regards to that. Expect and update on there as well, but I did want to let everyone know we have several solutions to solve the minirig issue and we are moving forward on that front.
I did want to quash any rumors that there was something wrong with the chips; there isn't. The chips themselves are fine (other than using more power than we expected), the delay is strictly due to having to re-engineer the power system on the boards (which requires a larger PCB redesign to a degree) and refine/streamline our processes for getting chips from silicon to mounted on boards. Things will be rolling along soon, albeit a bit slow at first, and then picking up speed as the whole process is optimized and finalized.

Dividends today? Did I miss some news about this?
Last night I moved the coins to the BTC-TC and forgot to schedule the dividend. In an attempt to make up for any potential losses caused by this delay of a few hours, I've added an additional 1btc to the dividend. I apologize for any inconveniances that this might have caused. Have a good weekend, Garrett |

Dividend accidentally not get put in again?
Yes, and I really apologize for paying dividends late two weeks in a row! In my mind that is unacceptable, so don't get used to it. I was in St. Louis for the World FRC Robotics Championship where we took 14th place of 400 teams. We didn't get in the top 5 because we dropped our 120 lb bot from a 10 foot tall pyramid! So we were dysfunctional for two of our eight qualification matches which set us back substantially. We had a few super long and stressful days, so although it isn't a good excuse, that is mine for neglecting to pay dividends on time. Because of this, I'm going to build a script that will use the BTC-TC API and transfer bitcoins to the account and schedule dividends automatically. Hopefully after that is in place this will be a non-issue. Awaiting delivery of our ASICs, Garrett |

I've answered this several times on this thread already, but the BFL SC Singles we bought promised 60+gh/s each, and we have seven of them on order. These boards alone will provide 420+gh/s to Cognitve, which devided by the current number of outstanding shares (8619) = 48.72955099 mh/s per share. After we spend out growth funds and COG.F funds, this value will only rise! Cheers, Garrett |

BFL are starting to ship the 30GH/s models (according to an email I got from them), so I hope the 60GH/s come quickly next. Good luck!

I just logged in to BFL and accepted the new terms (increased volume & power consumption) so we're ready to receive the ASICs. Woohoo!

Glad to see someone else received that email, but it asked to confirm your order, I didn't see any option to confirm after logging in, did you? EDIT: Nevermind, the site is asking me now, was a war with Cloudfare before, guess the rush to confirm was overwhelming. |

Upgrade to what? The orders are for 60gh units if I am not mistaken.

I think there's some confusion here. We placed an order for upgrades for our seven FPGA Singles. We are going to send those to BFL, then they will send the new 60+gh/s ASIC boards. --Garrett |

So at ~0.25BTC/share it will cost just over 5BTC per GH/s? From another perspective, 5 GH/s would be 9x the cost of a Jalapeno. |

How much time is going to take to send the fpga singles and receive the 60gh/s asic?
