Will or DT,
As indicated in the second post:
Since it is already the second half of October, could you please confirm that everything is going according to plan? Is the physical mine location ready for chip delivery? Can we get some more detailed information, for example the country, funds spent on mine construction etc.
Thank you in advance
Everything is still going according to plan. The physical location in Canada is ready and waiting to receive. The density halving (move from Sierra form factor of 2U to 4U due to a PSU configuration change) resulted in a fair amount of newly required readiness work.
The latest publically available information from Hashfast about delivery timing was posted by Amy Woodward:
Not surprisingly, this was indeed one of the questions that came up last night.
And, as of a few days ago, ... ... it looks like we're probably going to slip, by about a week.
Ironically, not because of the silicon, even though that is the part of the system that takes the longest to manufacture. That's going through the foundry smoothly. But we ran into a delay sourcing one of our other components.
We've now found an alternative source. But that delay means it'll be challenging for us to ship finished systems before the end of October.
It's disappointing, but unfortunately these things happen. I'm glad we've made it this far through the process, and are still so close to our target date.
(I'm watching every day to see how close Cointerra will come to their targeted tapeout date.)
