This... looks amazing! I do have my doubts, considering the number of scams out there. Hopefully you will take escrow BTC payments or at least PayPal. Wink

Currently, they accept ACH/wire and crypto. PayPal took themselves out of the picture - claiming chargebacks (PayPal does not like crypto). Squirrels is working on other payment options. I don't think forum escrow will be one, though.

So no paypal
No escrow

No cc?

prices are tempting to say fuck it I will get one it is not much to lose if he is like dwarfminer.
website has no contact info. other then an email.

I don't want to attack gpuhoarder
but this is very easily a scam .
I am not saying it is a scam and I want the gear as much as anyone else.
But where is the protection for the buyer?
the answer is there is no protection here.
Early in the thread I offered to escrow first batch. Free of charge!

I will take some.
I will offer assistance to op at no charge.
If op needs a pre order run I will do it at no fees for me.
I no longer do escrow but for this project I offer free escrow other then the tx fee.
At op do we need intel CPUs ?
Are higher end CPUs better?

and this is a less then satisfactory answer

Can you clarify what youre offering?
Higher end CPUs can be interesting, but system memory matters more if youre trying to use the accelerator with CPU***

as free escrow service is pretty much as clear as possible.
And the render is pretty but still no real proof of concept.

Its a picture - touched up because of production PCB color and to remove FPGA specific info, but an actual picture

I know youre trying to watch out for everyone here, and it is appreciated.

It is frustrating to constantly be thrown up as some kind of back alley deal man by you, as someone who has run a multi-million dollar company for coming up on 10 years, who has gone on camera, met people in the group in person, shown them all our hardware and labs, taken phone calls, posted our address and contact info, been vouched for by OhGodAGirl/OhGodACompany, amongst many other things to show how legitimate and serious we are in this space. I suppose the joint press release with Xilinx soon wont help you either.

We have over 40 people in house and 75 people working directly with us on this specific project. I appreciate your offer of escrow, and presales, but we are an established company - we dont really need someone else to run our store for us. In addition, orders pay for production and production of this many things has to be scheduled and forecast far in advance. We already have millions of our own dollars out on this project to source all the components that are nearly impossible to procure right now.

The Acorn exists, it has been tested and verification made of claims. Im not going to go above and beyond trying to sell every skeptic for preorders. Skeptics will be fine once thousands of people have these in their hands. Ive been very clear on how it works, other devs can easily run the numbers and simulate or confirm.

What doesnt exist?

1. Production volumes of product - we need preorder volumes to know how many to fully ramp, though slots are scheduled and initial volumes in. A few hundred are being produced for end of July for 3rd party dev and reviewer testing - these are expensive, north of $400 in small batch.

2. Full implementations of the miner UI, designed but needs added to our underlying miner core.

3. Fully tuned implementations for future supported algorithms we discuss.

4. Production ready mining software, driver installation, and the software polish to make it plug and play.

5. Final production heatsinks, due to ongoing work to have the best possible thermal management and therefore performance. We already have the largest power supply I know of for these chips.

What does exist?

1. A dozen or so development verification devices, we hand build a few more here and there.

2. All the parts and components excluding bare PCBs to build 10k+ of these, to ensure initial production ramp is smooth.

3. Locked in supply chain and manufacturing timeslots for upcoming production.

4. The base SQRL Miner core as well as verification and testing tools with a developer UI.

5. Initial heatsinks that work but could still be improved.

Good I finally got a direct reply for my concerns.

My research has shown airsquirrels.com to be a fully legit company.

I would have zero issues using airsquirrels.com

I have heard you on YouTube say you are a subset of airsquirrels.com

And all I am looking for is the airsquirrels.com website to show it is the parent company of squirrelsresearch.com

https://store.airsquirrels.com/

takes cc and paypal and has been in business for years
