Scam?

You should read through the thread.

I also don't have time to backread the entire thread. Is there any difference in models/versions of the two VCU1525 ftcain posted? $3600 from $47534 is a great variance even with a group buy in place. More than 1000% less actually. Would appreciate a response since orders are still not closed anyway.

We've negotiated pricing with Xilinx to provide the boards to the cryptospace through order volume. Our board was rebranded from VCU to BCU because it will contain modifications and changes to it's revision that won't be present on the VCU. We're working with the manufacturers to get that done and make sure the cards are fine tuned for mining. We are burning the efuse with a security key that will allow us to securely distribute bitstreams from community developers. Effectively protecting the developer from the customer, and the customer from the developer as the developer does have the potential to destroy a board with a bad design (intentionally or unintentionally).

Just today we've dumped large amounts of code that were months in the making.
