So I got verification from airsquirrels they own squirrelsresearch all is well correct?

Thanks to OhGodAGirl I found this thread, now I have some ques to ask, Kristy mentioned that this FPGA will be reducing the load from GPU for GPU demanding Keccak and others part (NonFP ) which most known algorithm uses - ETH/Equi/(ProgPOW if it becomes reality). That means if this can do say Keccak part at 15W then the GPU Power usage will drop significantly - as mentioned by Kristy again. So can you confirm in details? Also your in-house test say for a OC'ed RX580 how much power can you save?

I can understand that exact values are not possible at this point of time, but can you share estimated % on say a RX580? If I buy.... the power part will be the main driver and will help me decide. Would appreciate if you can share some info on this.

The 3 models are present I can understand - what's the diff between using all these three - if you don't talk about the speed then how they differ? Only Diff between these 3 I read was on memory side, how well they will perform from each other?

People who were concerned about the Acorn being a scam IMHO overlooked the above key post. OGAG in my opinion should already have a ton of street cred in the alt mining forum when it comes to GPU mining software/hardware hacks. With this post, my technical bullshit detector went to 0.

Going forward, my advice to people with no to little mining hardware experience is to at most just put a toe in the water and wait for the multi step YT videos on how to work with this stuff. Initial complications will probably revolve around the ususal miner software bugs and the bain of GPU mining, setting up the MB bios.

Normally I would not have bothered to vet this much.

But I had multiple people ask me via email to check it out.

And every where I looked endorsements were not in the following direction. Airsquirrels.com(parent) to squirrelsresearch.com (NEW STARTUP)

THERE were multiple people telling me they are real but I was not able to get the one above until today. I suppose I need to email

Sidney Keith
Squirrels LLC
press@airsquirrels.com
O: 855-207-0927 ext. 7001

for a full and final due diligence.

and sent the email to confirm report.

Fully vetted press release checked and that is all she wrote:

It is up in time for all preorders to be assured they are ordering from a real company.

Just because you personally did not receive a direct reply, does not make your concerns 100% valid. David Stanfill is GPUHoarder. That's been confirmed by him multiple times. He is a co-founder of Squirrels, LLC. He has publicly stated many times that Squirrelsresearch.com is endorsed and a sister company to Squirrels. This was all public knowledge for quite a while now. So the press release is nice, but this wasn't rocket science.

We already had one FPGA scam (Dwarf) recently and I'm sure there will be others. There is no harm in establishing the identity in more than one way. I've seen David's name mentioned but I don't recall any actual proof and I do follow these FPGA threads. So Phil's concern was 100% valid and now we have something to refer to if this question comes up again.

I am all squared away and ready to order.

You are very correct that there is no harm in further establishing identity, and I am all about having multiple confirmations of the information. It just sounded to me that he was saying there was not yet a legitimate confirmation. It has already been well established in this thread that most of the information and activity about these products takes place in the discord. All the facts that I stated have been confirmed via the discord many times. On top of that, this has all been confirmed in the interview that GPUHoarder did.

So please don't take my reply to say that I think the press release is meaningless, I am just expressing that with minimal effort this was easily confirmed. I'm not legendary on these forums, and I'm relatively new to crypto compared to you guys, but I was able to find this information out very easily.

Fair enough. I prefer things to be confirmed right here though. Not everyone wants or trusts discord. And unless discord does KYC any verification on there is about as meaningless as an anonymous account on this forum claiming to be someone. This has nothing to do with legendaries, which is also not an indication of trust in any way. Just some healthy skepticism.

philipma1957 on the other hand is one of the most trusted people on this forum with his real life identity known etc so any business trying to do anything here would be well advised to listen to him when it comes to things like this.

Having said that, identity verification shouldn't be taken as a guarantee of trustworthiness either. Many things can go wrong here. Now at least we'll know who needs to be sued if that happens

Look Last time I found a big issue it was GAW miners I exposed the flaw in their nicehash/westhash miners. It was the first real chink in their armor and I received multiple emails and pms from them that I considered thinly veiled threats.

I remember that. Garza is awaiting sentencing now. Karma is a fine lady.

To be clear airsquirrels.com has been perfectly polite to me via email the email is in this thread above. GPUHOARDER was 100% accommodating when I explained the vetting issue that I had.

He cleared it up in under 1 hour's time by issuing the press release today. So I will buy 1 of each Acorn 2 model and have some fun with them.

What happens next

@yankees

I had a ton of problems putting orders in today

as of this moment my orders are not marked correctly.

first order did not go to coin payments I gave up and saw the option to get one from the mine0rity.

so 1 dead order of 1 215+
1 good order of 1 215+ this seems to be fully credited

I went back to order again I saw the option for the 2 card holder Could not find the option on themineority but it did make an order on squirrelsresearch
coin payments would not take the coin so 2 dead orders on squirrels 1 good on themineority

I said f it went out and about tried again

said I will order the 4 card holder and 1 2 card holder and 3x 215 + came to 1250 usd I said too much on sites that just fuck up I canceled it.

so 2 dead orders that would not work with coin payments
1 cancelled order by me 1 good order to minority
I tried 1 last time

on squirrels placed a 2 card holder order and 1 215 + about 440 and coin payments worked took my money.

and squirrels canceled this order said I had 2 dead orders and a canceled one so we are cancelling this order

but I paid in btc and coin payments said deal with squirrels so I am in the following spot

780 or so made in btc 340 to themineority for 1 215+ seems good.

440 made to squirrels for 1 2 card holder and 1 215+ money is paid order is marked cancelled

too bad I had so many issues

I would have like to see you test the 4 card board.

At this moment I am just hoping they fix the error and credit me for the order made for the 2 card board and the 1 215+

The mineority had smoother orders and sold me an august batch.

the 215+ from squirrels is listed for september.

I can not justify ordering september gear. So I am done for now.

I did get an email from squirrels it was an auto bot.

I will let you know what they do about the canceled order and the funds I have paid.

this takes more then a long while 7 days to fix.

I was still talking with gpuhoarder on good terms

I thiink on Z77 I had max Pci e 1.1 with Celeron and hd 6870. But on Z170 all RX are runing on 3.0 and 006 ver . eitherway, 1.0 is more than enough for mining cards. For Acron, not sure, didnt pay attention.

I have 4 or 5 z170 boards from biostar https://www.amazon.com/Biostar-RACING-Z170GT7-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B06XDKHN1S

I think that these boards with the nest x2g and acorn 215+ will be true beasts

This board may do four four card nests. 16 x 15 = 240 watts

16 x 15 = 240 hash

That is like 12 1080tis which would use over 2000 watts

Costly as 16 x 330 = 5k and 520 for nests total of 5500

What a beautiful motherboard!

order was fixed on the 20th

That's why I advocate for a FIAT bank card payment solution. Items are sold in USD/$. Paying in card is cristal clear, fast and easy, much more than coinpayments.

I am on discord with sqrl_Jess right now

and it is fixed

So I became jaded about the order system having bugs and bad orders hard to correct.

So I point out the site has a confusing issue for preorders

I can say this preorders out to Nov = shaky
But no discounts offered on the Nov = WTF
This is wrong and looks bad see below same price for sept order and same price for nov order.

I guess in the crypto world we have become used to how the various ASIC miner manufacturers have done their pricing for pre-orders, and consider that "normal." Given that the ASICs are not particularly flexible in what they can mine, perhaps it's necessary to even out the order flow and entice new orders to keep the manufacturing lines busy and the coin rolling in.

Seems SQRL has opted for a different approach to pricing their offerings. Time will tell which method is the right one, or if there is room for different pricing models based on the flexibility of the mining hardware being offered for sale.

Alternatively - instead of a million conspiracy theories you could see that the price of components is only going up and most are extremely constrained right now, and building these things doesnt magically go down in cost in November. There isnt some huge profit margin to discount things just because you feel they should be discounted further out.

If you dont want it - dont buy it. If youre skeptical, wait till the review units go out. It really is pretty simple. There is a massive amount of effort and activity behind making these, and the software, and the logistics. I welcome someone else here to step into that for even a day. We are regularly at the mercy of Xilinx and component supplies in the global supply chain as well.

Were awaiting actual production line roll off starting next week, and some verification time after that to ensure that all is going smoothly. Exactly on-time.

Thanks for the reply .

There is no conspiracy it is a fact that you have not sold out Sept. batch at 329 according to your website

and you offer Nov batch at 329. The screenshot is simply taken from your website showing that.

Simple accounting shows that is wrong .
So why offer it?
Your website has sept and should not list oct or nov until sept is sold out.
All it does is create a chance that a buyer makes a mistake and gets his batches later at the same price.

This free marketing advice for your company. You could follow it or simply resist my advice because it is your company and you ultimately make those decisions not me.

Has anyone made the mistake of ordering from Oct or Nov batches I don't know as I don't have that info.

Did your store create the chance that someone can order Oct or Nov vs Sept yes it did plain and simple fact.

Will you fix that? I don't know.
Will you allow an order for Nov to be moved to Sept if someone fucked up I don't know?
Will you give a coupon to a Nov order because the buyer is delayed for 60 days I don't know.

Will you say phil in this case you are right we did create a chance for a buyer to have a 60 day delay thanks for pointing it out and we will fix it.

We checked our records and only 2 people placed orders in Oct or Nov we will move them up to Sept.
We will only list Sept until it sells out then list Oct till it sells out then list Nov til it sells out.
I don't know.

Do you think I like posting here over and over and over pointing out issue after issue .

Fact is I don't and would rather not post here until the gear I ordered arrives.

Tell you what I stopped posting here. Until the gear I ordered arrives.

As I understand my order with squirrels it is for 1 215+ and 1 nest and is due for sept batch.
order number 482 is my squirrels order reads sept batch

As I understand my order with mineority it is for 1 215+ and is due in the august batch.

Order Number: 25 is my order from mineority

btw it does not say that it is August batch or Sept batch or Oct batch or Nov Batch when order was placed it read August shipping so Hopefully it ships with the August batch.

I get responses

No.

And leave the thread alone

BTW the new order page still takes orders Sept Oct or Nov
