Voskcoin calls out 1 of these people behind this thread/buy ''may'' be unethical. He actually compares these people to Bitconnect.
Says her name is, ''Kristy-Leigh Minehan''.
How many companies can 1 person have time for?
-FPGA Land
-Mineority
-Oh God Girl...ETHlargement
-Acorn
-Now Bitcoin Interest?
Who on this forum has 5 jobs and are passionate about them all? Haven't seen her promoting the original 1525 order. Seems like they have moved on.
Hope everyone who wants refunds on their 1525, 3 grand order get it. They are getting close to their deadline...

Youre talking about one of the hardest working, non stop moving individuals I have ever met.
That said - SQRL is my company, the 1525s are a joint venture between AllMine (senseless) and SQRL. SQRL and the Mineority storefront are operating jointly because it makes no sense to have duplicative efforts for 3 different shopping carts.
Mineority hosting is run by a whole team, that are under Kristy but largely autonomous.
Bitcoin Interest is something I personally have no knowledge of or involvement with, but I dont know why anyone would fault Kristy for working on that project.
Kristy makes $0 from and has zero reason to support 1525s, outside of the tiny amount of Mineority hosting revenue, yet she has devoted tremendous time and energy to them and to working with Xilinx and helping to resolve the delay, because it helps the community and helps us.
If you want to find a scape goat for a scam I really recommend looking for someone else that hasnt actively gone above and beyond to help a ton of people.
Just wanted to provide a link to anyone that wants to file a complaint with the FTC.
Clearly states:
''If you cant ship within the promised time (or within 30 days if you made no promise), you must
notify the customer of the delay, provide a revised shipment date and explain his right to cancel
and get a full and prompt refund.''
Link:
https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/alt051-selling-internet-prompt-delivery-rules.pdf
They haven't provided a revised shipment date. ''Sometime at the end of the year'', or ''In Q4'', isn't a date.
''For definite delays of up to 30 days, you may treat the customers silence as agreeing to the
delay. But for longer or indefinite delays and second and subsequent delays you must get the
customers written, electronic, or verbal consent to the delay. If the customer doesnt give you his
okay, you must promptly refund all the money the customer paid you without being asked by the
customer.
Looks like they have less than a month to refund EVERYONE'S money BY LAW if they don't give consent.
Also strange that they accepted crypto for payment. I doubt Xilinx accepts crypto, and why would FPGA.land, etc. pay fees to exchange to fiat? Makes you wonder if this money has even been paid to Xilinx. GPU Hoarder said they will likely lose money on the 1st order, so where is the money coming in for this new order? Perhaps from the 1st order? Just speculation, and very odd that 1 day after I bring up laws, people are getting refunds??? Either Xilinx just ''happened'' to refund today or FPGA.land/SQRL held your money all this time. Just opinion....but coincidence? Come on, please!
Know your rights as a consumer. You may even be able to get lost ''wages'' for each day of the delay. I don't know, but a judge would.
And 6k for the new board??? That's ridiculous! A close friend called Bittware about a month ago and was quoted 5k for a bulk order...So, $1000 mark-up, plus a 4% dev fee??? Speechless...

We are very familiar with, and have followed all of this to the best of our ability. Weve even made Xilinx aware of the same regulations. You should also know that 9/1/2018 was the first day anything was actually late.
The money paid was forwarded to Xilinx. There are press releases about it, and quotes from Xilinx head of Americas sales about their delays. Anyone that reaches out to Xilinx will get the same confirmation from them.
What second order? We have never made a second order of 1525s. If youre referring to the CVP-13, thats being offered by Bittware in conjunction with us because they dont want to take on the cost associated with supporting hundreds of individuals who know nothing about FPGAs. If you are referring to the 1525s for sale now - those are from all the hundreds of refunds we have had to process from our own funds. NO money has been refunded by Xilinx at this point.. I suppose you think all the work to pay support people, develop bitstreams, and process shipments and order fulfillment + accounting and taxes is free as well? There are less than 400 boards in the group buy for the CVP-13, your pricing is flat out wrong, and our profit from that is barely enough to cover one support persons costs + real handling costs.
You sir are the reason this space is so toxic. If you have any legitimate issues to discuss I am happy to discuss them, but from my experience you dont have any actual grievances that can be remedied - you simply aim to sow discontent and stir up anger and strife in the community. Hundreds of people will happily confirm both the legitimacy of our business and our participation in this group buy, as well as the very real business relationships and payments we have made for these sales.
This is nice to see, not to be a politically correct asshole though but August 31st was never mentioned to us august buyers. It was "end of august" so this was really leveraging the timeline in literal terms. It also more than likely makes september preorders even more lucrative while shafting your first customers on mining time.
Just some thoughts from an early buyer of these. When delays are known post it immediately so we arent wondering why its end of week one September and our acorns are still not delivered.
I hope the standalone mining of the cle 215+ blows my mind. It was advertised as being stand alone mining vs. The lower spec cheaper acorns , so when i see people ask and the responses the squirrel team gives on its solo mining capability they were less than comforting. Which again was another catch for us early buyers. So i really pray this was a case where you guys are just under promising so you can over deliver. If not then expect major disappointment from 215+ buyers.
If the acorns from august are delivered in September then they are late, buyers bought August expecting August.
I completely agree. Aug 31 is just playing number game. No updates on the CLE 215+ solo mining. No information about SQRL miner a week before the release. Without proper mining pools support (including NiceHash strata) this whole project is not worth anything.
It was always advertised as a pre-order, shipping late August. I understand the sentiment - we certainly had hoped late August wouldnt be quite the very end, but to be honest with the number of issues and supply chain glitches that occurred along the way I am very happy with where we are with progress.
We are very transparent and straight forward as a company - but the updates dont always get posted here as often as they do in the discord, partially because I dont prefer arguing with people.
OP, do you have any tech spec from your hardware design?
At least also provide us your spec, so we can really judge the performance of your fpga miner. Is it really worth to invest or not.
I myself play around already with legit and top of the line fpga development board, therefore able to give you hints at least on the performance wise based on your fpga chips and algorithm.

I think this FPGA miner is like SoftRAM / ACORN ... probably SCAM .
Would you care to elaborate on why you are lumping Acorn in with scams?
Acorn is a very real product with a massive amount of work behind it...
A new generation of GPU is coming + clever devs want to use more of the CPU / GPU advantages to make them much more relevant against FPGAs and ASICs. I think the relevant CN coins will follow Monero then adapt the changes to their algo (CN FAST, HEAVY, LITE, SABER...).
FPGA devs will have to adapt.
FPGA devs will have to adapt.
FPGAs are NOT ASICs - they are actually much closer to GPUs. They are fully programmable and reprogramable and capable of any algorithm a GPU is in principle (not saying every algorithm will have better performance or even the same, just that it can be done). FPGAs with HBM bandwidth matching or exceeding GPUs and dedicated logic are coming, and can be in the same price range. It isnt a winnable fight - and shouldnt be a fight at all. It would be like trying to make an AMD CPU only coin.
Lumping ASICs and FPGAs into the same category is bad for mining. It wastes resources fighting something that is inherently good general purpose hardware that should be made widely available. There will be hundreds of thousands of FPGAs in the general market at some point in the future.
Hi, I'm Nate with SQRL Support. Please DM me your email address and support ticket number. I will be happy to track down what happened here and answer any questions you might have. Thanks!
it sure would be nice if gpuhorder or some official rep from squirrel confirmed this. otherwise i would not send any info to this person.
Yes - Nate is one of ours.

Once again, what really bothers me is that (regardless of what GPUHoarder suggested), I am not getting any responses to my questions from SQRL support. It is one thing to have some very smart people designing new system and the other (often neglected in Crypto world) providing a support structure of a company that deals with customers efficiently.
That could have something to do with the announced 1525 delay from Xilinx and resulting volume. Im checking with them now.
CNv2 and General: SQRL Miner loads bitstreams onto the Acorn and will get updated to handle various things. The Acorn in particular works on a part of CN that isnt much affected by the fork.
On delays - the Acorn project has approximately nothing to do with the 1525 except they both use Xilinx FPGAs. There are no delivery problems with the FPGAs. It has always been announced as shipping late August - thats not new. If any unforeseen delays were to occur we will of course be transparent about them just as we have with the 1525.
And this is why I don't come here more often. I just read a lot of crap and still don't have my answer. Don't get me wrong! Normally there is an answer, just a lot of crap too 
You do not get any answers here because the thread is becoming dead. People are speculating, complaining, asking questions and Squirrels keep mum. No real information from them whatsoever. "Soon"
What information are you looking for? What questions can I answer?
This thread is mostly full of what I will call non-productive discussion. With all the effort and energy going into the actual production work behind all of this, that is not a good use of time. Anyone that has emailed our support or reached out directly should have received actual detailed answers to their questions. Our team is quite active in the discord to direct discussion as well, but the group in there doesnt tolerate FUD discussions.
From this end, production is on pace - software is basically on schedule (slight delays there, but nothing unexpected), and the docket is full for the coming months. Theres another livestream this afternoon with a different party - https://www.freelearner.how/2018/07/30/live-webcast-with-squirrel-labs-founder-david-stanfill-july-2018/
... Has anyone made the mistake of ordering from Oct or Nov batches I don't know as I don't have that info. ...
No.
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.
For the Acorn accelerator, would the 480/470 class cards be interchangeable with their 580/570 counterparts?
Searched and back read a little, can't seem to find any answer to this yet.
Asking again because i have old rigs and am also interested in knowing if these acorns will also work on rx 470/480 GPUs and whether or not they will share close to, if not the similar, hashrates/improvements as the 570/580 series GPUs.
Yes the 470/480s are pretty similar. Were doing testing on the older cards next week I believe (79xx and newer, 980s and newer.)
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!
alll risers support 3.0 (x1). well if motherboard support only 2.0, than the riser will do 2.0 as well.
Its simple the usb3 cables dont have the quality to negotiate pcie 3.0, think about it usb3 cables are made for 8b/10b same as what pcie 2.0 run, but pcie 3.0 use 128b/130b.
Now there is faster standards like USB 3.1 Gen2 or USB 3.2 that do use 128b/130b but i would imagine that they also have much shorter cables, and its not cheap
EDIT: Already at pcie 2.0 these usb risers suck, if you have problems with gpu fallen of the bus errors in your syslog, and your gpu's are not too much clocked, you can usualy fix it by forcing pcie 1.0, so the risers are iffy even for 2.0, you say they can 3.0 I say NO !
8/10 vs 128/130 has absolutely nothing to do with this. That is simply the encoding for DC Balancing/ensure there is a periodic bitflip on the transcievers so they can stay locked. It was changed in PCIe 3.0 due to improved transceivers and to lower overhead.
Also for everyone checking lspci - most GPUs now adays are designed for low-power idle. They run the link at x1 unless they are actually being used for transfer! Run a bandwidth heavy test or activity and run lspci, youll see LnkStatus kick up to 3.0 (8 Gbps)
We just spent weeks testing dozens of risers and slots on 3 dozen motherboards. I havent found a single riser that cant sustain PCIe 3.0 speeds. While monitoring PCIe for any errors. I have, however, found crap mining motherboards that have PCIe errors on their slots even with a x1 device plugged straight in. Ill take that actual testing over your anecdote.
Software (miner) and APIs: This is a Pre-Order for the hardware. The software will launch with the hardware shipping late August. Weve already asked devs to reach out for API and SDK information that will be available before launch. Developer boards havent even been sent out yet to other devs.

Importation of goods from outside the EU
Basic rule
The chargeable event occurs and VAT becomes chargeable when the following types of goods enter the EU:
That's just above. VAT is calculated on the value of one good when it enters the UE.
If the actual price of the BCU1525 is unchanged at 3600USD after hosting at mineority (1,2 or 3 years) -at the day of shipping-, then the VAT is due on 3600USD.
Keep in mind that some 2nd hand market goods can see their value increase eg rare cars, luxury goods, vintage items...

I have asked them to refund me that VAT.
We shall see.
Sorry that is not the way VAT works on collocation services. Ive spent years dealing with this. It is not an import tax, it is a consumption tax on EU citizens. It does not matter that a US company is selling.
As such, when you buy a 1525 and it is placed into service (consumption) you pay VAT, and when you pay for it to be hosted that service is also VAT charged - all of which must be collected and remitted by us, otherwise we get audited they see the sales to EU customers and WE are responsible for the VAT. Ive been through it.
When it is ultimately shipped to you we do a DDP.
Even if you should consider that the hosting service is consumed at destination of the EU, the VAT applies only on the hosting, that is the service. There can not have any VAT on the BCU1525 until it's delivered to the EU.
Im happy to have your accountant argue with our accountant, but on our end we have to do what the professionals we pay to handle all this tell us. Ive had to eat $500k in VAT before because someone didnt think we were supposed to charge it., and I wont do that again.
$42 for shipping such a tiny thing? I've never paid so much for shipping not going to start now.
And why all the payment weirdness? crypto or ACH transfer only? Even in satoshi's white paper it is said that crytpo is not expected to eliminate fiat but compliment it.
I can buy all sorts of mining -crypto related- stuff with traditional payment methods. I hope this weirdness ends.
Just some feedback... I thought we were going to see a payment portal that accepted traditional payment methods.

More important then payment options (I mean you can just buy some bitcoint and then pay, not best but doable at least) is:
- shipping (if you think 42$ is much then I can tell you I would need to pay 75$ for EU)
- shipping from EU. I won't pay VAT + import tax.
With both problems above 1 acorn would cost me basically 2 acorns. With all the talk about decentralization and equal opportunities US people still have huge advantage in everything. Untill EU gets the same options as US there is no decentralization for me
The shipping is the same as if you quote fedex.com, actually thats much worse for EU. Were working on fixing this but that requires fedex fixing our rates in their API, but once it is fixed we will refund any differences.
You wont pay double VAT/Import, we do a DDP which is why youre charged VAT.
The EU has many taxes and fees for companies that do business with it - we gain nothing from all those extra charges, talk to your governments.
Theres also a lot of misinformation in this thread - so much it is hard to keep up on. I would really encourage reading the FAQ on http://www.squirrelsresearch.com

This... looks amazing! I do have my doubts, considering the number of scams out there. Hopefully you will take escrow BTC payments or at least PayPal. 
Currently, they accept ACH/wire and crypto. PayPal took themselves out of the picture - claiming chargebacks (PayPal does not like crypto). Squirrels is working on other payment options. I don't think forum escrow will be one, though.
No escrow
No cc?
prices are tempting to say fuck it I will get one it is not much to lose if he is like dwarfminer.

I don't want to attack gpuhoarder
but this is very easily a scam .
I am not saying it is a scam and I want the gear as much as anyone else.
But where is the protection for the buyer?
the answer is there is no protection here.
Early in the thread I offered to escrow first batch. Free of charge!
I will take some.
I will offer assistance to op at no charge.
If op needs a pre order run I will do it at no fees for me.
I no longer do escrow but for this project I offer free escrow other then the tx fee.
At op do we need intel CPUs ?
Are higher end CPUs better?

If op needs a pre order run I will do it at no fees for me.

Higher end CPUs can be interesting, but system memory matters more if youre trying to use the accelerator with CPU***
as free escrow service is pretty much as clear as possible.
And the render is pretty but still no real proof of concept.
Its a picture - touched up because of production PCB color and to remove FPGA specific info, but an actual picture
I know youre trying to watch out for everyone here, and it is appreciated.
It is frustrating to constantly be thrown up as some kind of back alley deal man by you, as someone who has run a multi-million dollar company for coming up on 10 years, who has gone on camera, met people in the group in person, shown them all our hardware and labs, taken phone calls, posted our address and contact info, been vouched for by OhGodAGirl/OhGodACompany, amongst many other things to show how legitimate and serious we are in this space. I suppose the joint press release with Xilinx soon wont help you either.
We have over 40 people in house and 75 people working directly with us on this specific project. I appreciate your offer of escrow, and presales, but we are an established company - we dont really need someone else to run our store for us. In addition, orders pay for production and production of this many things has to be scheduled and forecast far in advance. We already have millions of our own dollars out on this project to source all the components that are nearly impossible to procure right now.
The Acorn exists, it has been tested and verification made of claims. Im not going to go above and beyond trying to sell every skeptic for preorders. Skeptics will be fine once thousands of people have these in their hands. Ive been very clear on how it works, other devs can easily run the numbers and simulate or confirm.
What doesnt exist?
1. Production volumes of product - we need preorder volumes to know how many to fully ramp, though slots are scheduled and initial volumes in. A few hundred are being produced for end of July for 3rd party dev and reviewer testing - these are expensive, north of $400 in small batch.
2. Full implementations of the miner UI, designed but needs added to our underlying miner core.
3. Fully tuned implementations for future supported algorithms we discuss.
4. Production ready mining software, driver installation, and the software polish to make it plug and play.
5. Final production heatsinks, due to ongoing work to have the best possible thermal management and therefore performance. We already have the largest power supply I know of for these chips.
What does exist?
1. A dozen or so development verification devices, we hand build a few more here and there.
2. All the parts and components excluding bare PCBs to build 10k+ of these, to ensure initial production ramp is smooth.
3. Locked in supply chain and manufacturing timeslots for upcoming production.
4. The base SQRL Miner core as well as verification and testing tools with a developer UI.
5. Initial heatsinks that work but could still be improved.
I just realized that the biggest problem to incorporate Acorn into existing rigs is this:
"At launch, Acorn will work exclusivity with SQRL Miner. We'll provide an SDK and API documentation later this Fall for other miners to integrate Acorn support." I am not sure how this miner is going to to work with various pools or NiceHash, for instance.
Also, the longer I look at options the more confused I am getting about how Acorn (any model) is going to improve my ethash mining for GTX1080Ti with ETHlargement pill (53.5 MHs).
Could I please, get advice on this? Simply put, I am mostly interested in Ether mining with high end GPUs

It isnt. It is not going to help you in a profitable way (other than maybe operating costs). You are looking for the wrong solution.
Saying it again - the same thing I said in the first post. ETH is supported but not the target. You will not see the 30 MH gain potential on ETH in the majority of cases. You can see it on Lyra2Rev2, X16r, and other algorithms where 30MH is a lot more.
One other item that is hopefully listed in the Acorn store are the PCie adapters mentioned in the first post:
"I am also pursuing making available well priced options for individual PCIe x4 to M.2 M-key host boards (these are broadly available for $10-15), as well as Quad-M.2 PCIe switched and Bifurcated x16 host boards for those who do not have the available M.2 M-Key slots or require up to 240MH of acceleration."
This way, the user gets a tested, Acorn compatible, hardware solution .
See the FAQ. Yes.
Reminder, since Ive said it a lot but people seem to not catch it, ETH is not what these are targeted at.
More details over the coming days. Thanks for being patient everyone.
Re: FPGAs hosted @ Mineority.io
FPGAs hosted by Mineority will have access to encrypted bitstreams from their team and any open bitstreams, such as these. You will configure this with the web UI.
Mine on!

If we purchase FPGAs (shipped) do we still get access to Mineoritys encrypted BitStreams?
+1 for quoted question
All the same cards, all the same efuse keys, all the same bitstreams. At least launch - mineority could decide to release their own layer or vice versa.
