Good news this time! Today i shipped out the first thumbs.

The rest will be shipped tomorrow. I'll send out tracking numbers as soon as i have them.
It feels damn good to get these things out there! They work. They work well. Some are hashing comfortably above 3 GH/s !
Thank you all for your patience (those that HAVE been patient

) Feels pretty great to get to this milestone.
On other good news, our new parts are with the factory and the other boards should be done tomorrow.

I might even get some sleep one day soon.

And now....
Thumb porn!
Ready for launch! Enjoy.

Congrats Barn', it seems this is home strech before mining with this!
So you confirm all the fab (8-chips boards) would be done this week? Can you state whether you ship everything from China directly to us or via AUS (except for US)? If direct from China, are theses boards tested before shipping?
Then about software, can you give details how to handle (make run) Drillbit? According to me there's not yet support from CGMiner nor BFGMiner. For now, we only know that CGminer modified was used during development.
Have you sent also some tips (software, config, tools,..) with the first Drillbit thumb?
I cant answer on the software but I can on the shipping. Looks like the boards should be done here within 48 hours, and then will be dispatched after a small amount of testing to AUS, and me in the US. At least from me, all boards will then be tested again (Not sure how long... suggestions?) and then immediatly shipped out same day via UPS Next Day/2nd Day air [depending on location]. As soon as we know the boards are done, we can give concrete delivery.
