How do we know that this is not another scam. You could just take everybody's money and run as there's no address for your company (other than a virtual office) and we don't know who we are dealing with physically.

My company (www.airsquirrels.com) is providing the deal with Xilinx and the shipping/cards.

Hopefully I will actually be able to do a PR with Xilinx to confirm.

AllMine is handling order processing and front end logistics as well as the development shell.

David Stanfill, feel free to email me directly or setup a call if you have any doubts.

Thanks for putting a name with the moniker, that alone adds trust.

EDIT: I should read entire threads before commenting, already answered

Update:

Pricing information has been released at https://fpga.land/

I've also updated OP with current lyra2z hashrate. We will post more hashrates in the coming days.

Note: we're still working on the website. excuse our mess.

Well that was quick, congrats.

My moniker, while perhaps not as warm and trusting on the surface, has my last name in it. So... Cheesy

Is the pricing set now @ 3600 for Mods & DDR4 version? I'm in for 3.

Correct, the current pricing displayed on the site is what we will be selling for when sales launch.

If i did end up going for it, id definately go for premium model.
But as i am waiting to see people receive the cards and bitstreams, and what the performance ans hassle setting it up will be, i think there will be long delivery times if i finally decide to go for it lol.

Only a limited number of boards have shipped. We're still waiting to receive the boards we were advanced for this purpose.

Several questions :

1. Approximatly, how many time do we have before the effective sales ? some days ? week ? half a month ? more ?

2. DDR4 memory : if we already have a 8 or 16 Go DDR4 memory, can we use it instead of buying the global package ? If yes, no matter the DDR4 frequency ?

3. Is 1 FPGA enought ? Do we need several FPGA, depending on the algorithm used ?

1) Minimum 2 days, at most a week.
2) You need DDR4 2400 memory. There's also no guarantee your dimms specifically will work with this board. I should be able to test a few variations next month before shipping so we can put out a compatible memory list.
3) Yep, 1 fpga is enough. There are situations where chaining them can get better results.

lyra2z finished?

Nope, still under development. I should have some final numbers before sales launch.

Can't wait to get my hands on these FPGA cards.

I've read that you've mostly anticipated that these cards are going to end up in open air miners. Would placing those in 4U server racks be possible? Do we need to have water cooling or 6x 2000RPM fans would do the job if servers are placed in a datacenter with closed cold corridors?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Yes, server racks in datacenters would do the job. Water loops are possible. 4U rack is possible. Obviously amazon has their FPGA inside racked servers.

The colder these chips are the better they will work. I can't wait to put a phase change chiller on this and try to operate it at -30C Cool

senseless,
I am very interested to participate. I will be ordering 8 FPGAs to start with and will probably be ordering regularly later depending on the mining outcomes.
But we have to do our own due diligence as you understand. Could you please elaborate more on the organization of the entire purchase and payments? Is it a group buy or will we be buying directly from you, legally speaking?
Did you manage to make that deal with Xilinx about chips, will it be some other factory assembling ot as OEM units? When exactly will you receive the units?
Please, let us know in more detail.

My company Allmine Inc, has entered a JV with Squirrels Research for the development and deployment of latest generation ultrascale+ devices in / as miners. This is not a group buy, it's a sale. Legally speaking. Originally our deal with Xilinx centered around chips, but they have taken on the manufacturing role for us and will be delivering manufactured boards. We're not manufacturing these ourselves, Xilinx is. Our current delivery estimate is August. If that changes, we will pass that information along.

Regarding warranty, we haven't mentioned it and (quite surprisingly) no one has asked about it. The warranty period will be 90 days from the date of delivery.
