So here's the status guys:
Niko's new guy in China is very fast. Niko's already got boards and has shipped a few. They have also got the v2 M-board working, but I haven't produced any for August shipment.
I've got tracking numbers in hand for the first shipments of M's and H's - about 15 full rigs worth. More will ship each day as they are made. Probably much larger quantities on the next shipments. We are also balancing production with Niko's guy, since we are very happy with the turnaround time. According to FedEx, I should be receiving first boards on 8/29 - we shall see about that.
Niko is also seeing some under-performing cards compared to what Tytus was seeing with his test rig. This could be due to the chips (different wafer, different packager, etc). It could be due to the v2 M-board, different PCB manufacturer, components, software changes, etc. The testing process is time consuming because we must run the boards long enough to get good data - they have to warm up and run for a few hours, then get tuned.
We are committed to shipping the promised hashrate, so you will receive a tested rig that can produce what we claim. If that means we add in extra cards then that's what we will do. For full rig owners, if your rig is coming up short we will send an extra M-board + H-boards until we reach the advertised 400GH/s rate.
If shipments arrive on time, the testing & shipping process will run straight through the holiday weekend until everything is out the door. We may lose a shipping day due to Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 2nd), but the team will be working.
Cheers,
Dave
