Re: CoinTerra announces its first ASIC - Hash-Rate greater than 500 GH/s
US companies seems to suck...bitmine is about to ship there goes all our profit making 
bitmine got their chips after hashfast but before cointerra. they should've delivered units by now. think they got their chips a month before cointerra - at least they taped out a month or two before cointerra.
its also unknown how well their box works. am eager to hear... (might order some myself if it delivers)
i mentioned this months ago but i would love to hear news on whether their 3,000 watt power supply will deliver all 3,000 watts when run on a single US power circuit (120 volt) as that seems like a lot to expect out of a US power outlet, and i worry that the power supply might max out at 1800 watts when used in the US.

You will never run it with a single 120 volt plugin it's max 1800 watts
If you try plugging in TWO 120 volt from the same room they could be on different phase,
creating a dead short, and trip breakers smoke wire etc. And 120 will use more watts than 240.
You got to run it on 240 volt, I tried a cooler master i700 and it works on 120-240 volt fine, at .99 PF on 120.
Just get a electrician to wire a 220-240 volt plug in, with the 15 amp breaker.
Well in IT environments we run 3000 watt UPS systems over 120 but you have to have 30 amp breakers and the right wire. Also the plugs are the NEMA L5-30P because you can't push that much through a standard outlet.
My guess is that if someone tried to run one of these in their home it would trip the breaker a lot. This is not really a bad thing though because with a high constant draw like that it would be fire hazard in home wiring. Even a 20amp breaker will not give you 1800 watts constant because there's no such thing as a %100 efficient wire (a concept miners can relate to!).
I think as aero has mentioned though, these are pretty serious pieces of equipment and I would be surprised if too many people are thinking they can just stick em their living room and fire it up! I guess I could be wrong though.
Bottom line: At those numbers it isn't really a household appliance unless you have the means to set it up correctly (and safely!).
