cablepair,

Minor nitpick on the website. I've submitted 3 orders over the past several weeks and each time I still have to click a checkbox to agree to a blank Terms and Conditions page. I actually read these things so it is a little unnerving for me.

It's not actually blank, you can highlight the text. I am assuming he messed up on the color coding and isn't trying to hide the text.. but what do I know.. I didn't actually read it.

Are there any power estimates yet?

You could test on main net - Use an address supplied by the purchaser of the unit on a p2pool node setup for that purpose.

That would be just about the best preshipment notice ever.

sounds like a logistical nightmare, but if someone could pull it off....nice.

I'm glad there's real competition to BFL. I don't feel comfortable giving my business to those guys.
Keep up the good work cablepair.

Sounds like a massive PITA, but yeah, that'd be pretty cool 

Tom, quick question - I've got an order going to the UK. Who do you ship them with?

[WinTame2012]

I'm in, just paid with BTC mined 
Greetz to all!

We will most likely be using test-net in a box for testing as Jeff Garzik has recommended.

or if you secretly mined each one on the main line and had all the BTC earned sent to an address, printed a paper wallet of that address and included it with the order.. like "BAM! your order is tested to work and here is the BTC to prove it, enjoy!"

I think we all agree that would be the most awesome thing ever, however ethically maybe it is best to just stick to testnet in a box

u iz smart!

Thanks Tom for answering my question! I love your openness, unlike BFL.

Have you considered getting venture capital? Even if you don't really want that, I am sure some VCs would be interested in you (generally they love founders who don't seem to need the capital.) Talk to http://ycombinator.com/ if only to see what they say.

Or just make the wallet.dat downloadable in the ordering site once you log in, downloadable over SSL. Or email it, unprotected. Or put it on a BTCFPGA branded USB stick, included in the order. Or donate the BTC to a charity of the customers choice.

It's basically a bunch of electricity that would otherwise go to waste...

Got a late start on things today,


Been working on getting the new office space ready, and speaking to that I have had one customer who has volunteered to fly in to upstate NY to help getting the bASICs ready to ship. I am going to need at least 4 more full time workers so if anyone is seriously interested in coming up for 1-2 weeks and helping me load firmware on the bASIC units, package and ship them out please contact me. The more people from the Bitcoin community I can get the better.

anyways on to the days labors:


Going to try and tackle first the PM backlog until I hit that Limit, then I will move onto email until I hit my email servers limit (25 emails an hour)

which I hit twice yesterday.

I know a lot of you are waiting for me to answer questions and handle some user account housekeeping stuff. I'll try to get to most of it right now.

Thanks for your patience.

btw: back to the future is one of my all time favorite movies. Why do you think our new mining units have flux capacitors?

I so wish I would have bought MMQ's from you. I love that you keep us posted almost daily.  It instills a sense of confidence, at least for me it does.
