Just got an email and I am speechless!

''Our long-awaited FPGA board for cryptocurrency mining is available to order, with expected November delivery for the first batch. Sales are through SQRL.'' From BITTWARE.

This Squirrel company can't even get their 1st batch out from Xilinx! They flat out lied to me/us and said that I/we would be refunded for the 1525. Guess what? NO refund, and now they are putting out a more expensive pre-order together to screw more people over??? Nice Ponzi huh?

Wake up! They took in 15 million from ''batch 1'', and still nobody has a working FPGA. They said I would get my refund this week, and LIED.

Don't even get me started on bitstreams and deadlines. Where are they?

The people behind this should receive jail-time, and very well might. Any lawyers on here?

You can't just take people's money for months and then not deliver.........

#1) Many people have working FPGA, including me.

#2) This was a group buy with Xilinx supplying the products. The delay in shipping was due to component acquisition problems on Xilinx's end.

#3) Refunds are being processed. It will take time.

#4) The sales for the CVP-13 board was another group buy for bittware hardware. (bittware is doing the production / fabrication there)

#5) The lyra2z bitstream we've developed will be released when boards are shipped. We're actively mining on our (ONE) prototype / development unit.

^ 1 FPGA at 40Mh/s lyra2z. I'm expecting even more from the fully modified BCU-1525. 60Mh/s or more seems plausible.

Back in the days some may still remember Butterfly Lab , this guys was taking peoples preorders and no refund policy so people who prerecorded from them was forced to wait many months for delivery, Butterfly Lab doesn't exist anymore but history repeat itself . People have to be careful ordering FPGAs the demand is high and the waiting time in some cases could be months.

BFL was designing their own asic. These FPGA chips are already designed and in mass production. The delay is a problem getting the PCB built, not any problem with the chips as was the case with BFL.
