What is worse raskul is they posted their "compensation" offer in the TURD(TUBE) thread, morons led by idiots I suppose. I for one am DONE with AM.
ASICMiner is NO BETTER THAN BFL or TechnoBit
ALL scumbag half-ass engineers with NO business experience.
Off TopicWe all know about BFL, i am also BFL victim. But what with technobit? My order with technobit is fine until now. Probably due to this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=682105.0Boards were supposed to be shipped two weeks after the chips arrived (so early-mid August or so), and people appear to still be waiting. Not sure if Marto's made arrangements with them, but the people in that thread don't appear particularly happy.

We've even volunteered (yes, free of charge) to do some of the work fixing their boards so US customers (including the 15-odd KW worth that are supposed to be running in our hosting facility) could get them quicker. Marto gave us some info and then stopped talking to us and Minersource, over a month ago.
We're considering trying to build a mining board with BE300 chips, but the biggest fear is we'll accidentally do something like technobit with the minion boards. I don't think we're capable of screwing up that badly though, especially not where communication is concerned.

Can someone enlighten me what the problem is with the AM miners? Ok, they failed bad, but it seems that FC's buy-back offer is more than adequate. What's your issue?

Basically, if you buy a batch 1 rig, then you should just finger cross that you are lucky. I'm the bad luck one and also the good luck one. I bought 8 Prisma and some of them not work very well. (Bad luck) Now I have send three of them for exchange the new 2.0 Prisma, and if those three all good as expected, I will exchange other 5, otherwise I will refund those 5. (They will not refund the rigs if you choose exchange instead of get refund). ---so I am also good luck that I have the chance to replace the new batch ones or get refund.

The 6-chip chain has passed the test: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi58.tinypic.com%2F28rgnxl.jpg&t=665&c=4j95zuNET3Ozlw) The next step is to test the board with fully inhabited 24 chips.

Indeed, good news. When can we expect chip documentation, voltage requirements and such?

I've raised this question before: This PMS01 chip is proprietary design of AM?

It's our own string-based power management chip for solving the Prisma-related problems.

Have the optimizations for the final BE300 design already taken place and has the order been submitted to TSMC? When will it take place? How big is the risk of the final BE300 design not working or underperforming (like BE200) after receiving the final chips?

I would suspect BE300's risk is terminal, which isn't always a bad thing. Some times you have to go all in, and with careful planning and prep, clear the table.

Friedcat posted that mass production chips will be better. Propably this samples are just to "proof of concept" and mass production chips will just have more "cores" inside as adding those is almost like CTR-C CTRL-V

Will the BE300 boards fit into the Prisma fan/heatsink body?
