Virtual Mining Corporation is now taking pre-orders for its
Fast-Hash-80 80 GH/s Bitcoin Mining Machine.

www.virtualminingcorp.com

So much info from you...When do you expect to have a prototype working? What about finished devices for customers? Why aren't you giving more info?

Our first series of machines will be build using the tested technology of Avalon, there chips and there board, this will be our version 1 board. We will then take that board a re-spin it with a PCI express interface so our customers will be able to use our expansion case. After we re-spin the board we will have an upgrade program for our version 1 board for customer who wish to upgrade.

We have chips on order from Avalon and will be placing more orders for chips depending on our sales. Our delivery date will be adjusted based on sales. The current date for delivery is only for the first batch of machines that we order chips for in the next week. This also it depends on our suppliers, i.e. Avalon.

I talked with Yifu at Bitcoin 2013 and Avalon is not going to be build any more machines, they are just going to be a chip supplier.

Our second and third series of machines will be build on our own Fast-Hash chips 45nm and 28nm. Since we are here in San Jose at Bitcoin 2013, of which we will be posting video on the site, we had a meeting with our supplier of our chips.

Since we are using Avalon's technology chips and boards we don't expect a long testing time. Also, talking with Yifu, if we could order a complete order of 10,000 chips, we would receive some testing chips.
The rest of our parts for our machines our off-the-shelf and are readily available. Our shipping date is firm for about the first 20 devices sold, then we will move that date back to 9/30/2013 for the next 100 macines.

I hope this gives you the information you need.

I am surprised, your answer was a complete and concise roadmap of your plans.

You can't get that kind of answer out of BFL. I am tentatively in favor of your company. (Make sure to post your video at BitCoin 2013.)

I want to ask what you feel you will improve with your Avalon based clones at this time? I noticed you have mentioned the PCIe interface. A very good start. What other kinds of features do you foresee? (points that set you apart from the other clone makers?)

Tlhanks for asking this question. The only improvements to our Fast-Hash-XX series will to make it scalable to 4 expansion cases and upgradable to our Fast-Hash-XXX series and Fast-Hash-TH series.

Most of our work is going to be put into our 45nm and 28nm series of machines.
