Thanks so much for selling a useless FPGA without the needed program, you FUCKING USELESS DOUCHES!
 
Calm your shit, it's barely out. Did you even buy one or are you angry because?

You don't rush software unless you want broken buggy stuff.

You don't rush selling hardware to the public without the applicable software; especially when there were delays that should have given additional time to develop software lol...
Why not? So people could complain that they were mining on them themselves and holding them before releasing the product. Because that's exactly what would be said if they decide to not send out finished hardware over software, people wouldn't believe them.
Acorn was to be released in August. Whenever there were questions about SQRL Miner (to test it even without Acorn) the answer was that it would be released with Acorns. It is already December 5. Hardware without software is useless. By the way, the numbers illustrating the advantage of using Acorn, were released in June, I believe.

unfortunately this is true.  It's been weeks since they shipped out the Acorns and we still don't have anything useful out of it.
On top, they just took more they could have, on their plate

Most of the buyers of Acorn (at least that's what I think) wanted to save power+boost their existing GPU hashrate and not standalone mine with it.  

Absolutely. I have been watching this SQRL saga even just to learn how not to run a project or a company. Even very talented engineers are often very poor organizers. I am just amazed that people in sqrl-acorn Discord are wasting their time constantly troubleshooting their Acorn configurations without (almost) any gains, as far as crypto mining is concerned. I know that GPU mining is mostly unprofitable now but why add to it with the loss of time?
