Re: [ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread [Self-Moderated]
Hey wait a minute Mr Postman-
go have a look at the vid BFL had on their website recently. They had an identically laid out six assembly work benches, staffed by four people who would be sacked in my workplace if they worked that slowly.
The number of benches is fine, with pre-prepped cases and quick workers you can knock out plenty of rigs in quick time. We don't have masses of pre-orders, once they are done and dusted the farm machines will begin to roll out.
Edit- what are you benching? I have a bigger kitchen than the cafe round the corner but it doesn't make me a hot food outlet.
Edit 2 - hey VE are you going to open a mining rig production line in your basement? If so what's your IPO offer? Count me in OK?

Good news everyone, we're even worse than BFL! We're going to be rich!
Are people here delusional or just stupid? The fact that Ken can't show pictures of chips quite obviously means he does not have chips to take pictures of. Not even sample chips which were supposed to arrive in November according to Ken's schedule.
Having problem reading the post?
He even said they are waiting for chips and boards, so no, chips has not arrived, therefore no pics of chips.
When will the chips arrive?
Well, Ken said it would take 9 weeks for sample chips after paying the NRE costs. They should have arrived n November, but Ken said he had to redesign them. It would be logical to assume that it will take another 9 weeks for new samples, so they should arrive in late January/early February. If that's the case, then mass production won't be happening till around April/May.
With only 2 benches in Ken's "assembly line", anyone ordering hardware from ActM can expect to get their hardware in two weeks, just like all the satisfied BFL customers.
Mabs, can you at least try to understand what's going on before posting? The Intellihash update is software (RTL/HDL) level code changing1. Software level changes are a far cry from a complete chip redesign. So your estimated time frame is not realistic at all.
Your next issue is this that you didn't actually look at the picture, (I hope!). Observe:
I'll spell it out, just in case2: 3 benches x 2 work surfaces = 6 assembly stations.

Intellihash is our new trademark for our new Bitcoin mining software which gives up to a 20% increase in hashing speed and has the possibility to increase the speed of our mining machines as the difficulty goes up. We have had to modify the software in our chips to make it work with our new software. The chips are going to be late; however, our new Intellihash software could be a game changer for the company.
