Actually, I'd like some comments from you...

- Would you like a USB miner or are you happy with standalone RasPi controlled unit?
- Do you feel modular design is important, or would you prefer a nice tidy box?
- What about form factor: free or rack?
- What dB level are you comfortable with?
- Internal custom PSU or ATX?

- stand-alone with Ethernet
- tidy box (foofighter)
- free
- less then BFL
- external power supply

And 200+ GH per board.

1. RasPi, cheap and out very soon
2. modular, we have plenty enough "hard" boxes.
3. free, you can offer some box if people want chassis
4. whatever, let me downclock to save some power and dB's if needed to mine in a bedroom(??)
5. custom 3kW @ 400eur with a high availability sounds good, make it compatible with user provided ATX (PCI-e power) if possible

1. whatever is cheaper and faster to develop
2. modular (there is no fun in nice tidy boxes)
3. free (kludgers gonna kludge... Grin

)
4. very low or fairly high - very low at home, fairly high in the server room (that said, my BFSB rig is currently in the server room)
5. ATX is easier to replace, so I would stick with it

PI - no reason for USB other then troubleshooting made easy. if USB, people would simply run it to a PI
BOTH - modular is great, but a tidy 300GH box would be beautiful too and may be easy to run airflow through
FREE - but if following above suggestion, a rackable premade box would be nice
MINIMAL - I am happy adding my own fans, and a silent or quiet miner is nice
CUSTOM - a 'custom' 12V PSU is obviously most cost-effective

I like to picture 2 products coming from you:
1) system similar to the V2, modular and free-standing nd the most cost effective without psu included
2) system similar to the asicminer cube - standalone system with housing, heatsinks,fans,and PSU capable of 200-400GH that can be racked or stacked. i would pay a *small* premium for the simplicity and good design that could come with this option

1. any
2. any
3. any
4. none, passively cooled
5. any

Whatever is cheapest and quickest.

The most performance you can get without a fan.

Hex-spacers instead of case and cable chain for power (and data if not USB) so no more M-Board.

- USB? why not
- Modular is the way to go
- Free or rack (bitbonanza style ?) depends on final price (cheaper is better)
- Low Db but i have some noctua, so not a big deal Grin

- Well if you can provide a custom psu that lower the final price : i take ! If not => ATX

Edit : custom PSU maybe because your next rig is a Monster ? ^^

What if I said I have a PSU that can deliver 3kW at a price of ~400€ and ~90% efficiency?

3kW bitfury device... 3kW/0.8wghps=3.75TH of hashing. Shocked

- standalone LAN with stratum support (with or without RPI, doesn't matter)
- modular
- an optional box would be nice
- silent as possible
- high power efficiency (if you can offer that an ATX supply isn't necessary)

Yes.

- Doesnt matter to me
- I prefer modularity, but not at the expense of time\money
- Either
- I have a large stack of avalons.. so less than an airplane
- Either, shipping is a concern tho

I'm not the one manufacturing and designing these boards. My personal boards are still in development.

Hi punin,

Making your own board now? PM-ed you, we might have
something very (very, very:) interesting for you. If you
want to know more PM me or c-scape.

Cheers,

- RasPi
- modular
- any
- any
- ATX, because there are more efficent PSU availeble

Important for me is efficency (cost & power consumption).

Ok, so same chip, but why not continue with the old design if the new doesn't improve anything significantly? What is the improvement?

Potentionmeter for easy OC. (Does this break warranty?)
Pci-e is impossible to insert the wrong way.

No idea why the design was revised, I'm just trying to think of something

These are valid. PCIe is one-way insertable only. Pot gives more freedom to OV/OC without soldering. Minimizing manufacturing cost is probably one as well.
