http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/02/03/cointerra_ships_bitcoin_miners/There are so many incorrect statements in this it's alarming.
Cointerra has shipped the first batch of its TerraMiner IV $6,000 Bitcoin mining boxes
No. Batch 1 was priced at about $14,000.
All customers who ordered for the December deadline have now received what has come to be known as "Batch 1" kit
This is totally false.
We've heard from readers who've received their boxes.
Ahuh. Who?
There is a little new information in Ravi's quote:
Another key thing to note, added Iyengar, is that our GoldStrike1 ASIC itself is very high performance and meets and exceeds the published spec. It is the board level power circuit inefficiencies which reduced the overall performance marginally. However, as stated above we are getting closer and closer to the spec with improvements that we are doing on the board."
So perhaps they were accurate when they reported their 132 GH/s/die. If true, I'm guessing the tinkerers out there will be able to get plenty of further performance out of the under-speced units, much like October KNC units.
