We're able to provide this because we've burned an encryption key onto every FPGA shipped. This encryption key is what enables the creation of our secure shell environment.
Is this encryption key the same as the one provided by Mineority? And does every BCU1525 comes with it installed? I've found a BCU1525 from a european shop (though I'm still checking if they are scamers) and I'm wondering if I'll be able to load the bitstreams from Allmine.
From Mineority's site I read: "Your BCU1525 from Mineority comes with special security key encoded right to it. This key provides you access to private bitstreams powered by the Allmine Crypto Shell and Squirrels Research Labs technology as well as public bitstreams provided by others in the community."
The only people receiving BCU-1525 are Allmine/Squirrels. Mineority is getting their boards from us. I don't know where these other shops are getting their boards. At least one of them (those EU sellers/resellers) placed orders with us but never paid for them.
I see... well, it's those guys: https://mineshop.eu/fpga-miners/xilinx-bcu-1525-fpga-detail/
But I'm not advising anyone to buy from them. They also seem to add quite an extra on the price. I wish they'd just let the cards un-ordered so that we could get them.
Hey, senseless, I'm gonna pay you the moment you allow me to order from you!!!
I have contacted already these guys ( Ireland somewhere ) - they have answered my first email but when i have said i want to send somebody in person to collect as the amount is substantial - no answer so far ... also the address they give is some dead road in a village ... without exact number ... so all points to either scam or people who want to pre-order and collect the money first and then pay for the order they have placed and make a quick buck - everyone can do the same so i do not think it is going to work anyways.
I really would like to know when these FPGA will come to Europe - lets organize something - guys from AllMine - suggestions how we can do that ? Obviously no one can collect money enough to order 1000 pcs - so at least you should appoint somebody in Europe to be your representative and to post it officially so the people know who to trust .
Otherwise shipping everything one by one from USA or China is going to be expensive for anybody ...
