- Latest news is I'm going to China tomorrow to test the H-board produced on the 2nd assembly line. I'll be back on friday, so don't be surprised if I'm a bit hard to reach.
- Currently I expect to start shipping next week.
- We need to get the H-boards, attach them to M-boards, run tests, pack in boxes, ship.

Any news for the august orders (StarterKit & Full Miner)?
Estimated delivery date?
What steps are still open to achieve for bitfury for a successful delivery of the august orders?

.-)

We will see when I get the H-board. Maybe it will hash backwards and find Satoshi?

Well any PSU really that has 400W on 12V rail (to have some overhead), has 2 6-pin PCIe molex connectors, over 80% efficiency (gold or platinum).

High efficiency PSU supports high efficiency of the chip, modularity is a plus also, and not required, but helps to keep that classic ATX wire-mess away.

If you have several units on order, I think you should consider one of the bigger PSUs, so you can have 1 PSU supporting several units. I use OCZ 1250 ZX myself.

Also note: if you are going to use Foofighters case, the maximum depth dimension of your PSU should be no more than 185mm. (This should cover ~99% of what's out there on the market, 1250W OCZ ZX is 175mm deep).

So you are saying the PCIe power sockets were
wired correctly on the board? I was not entirely
sure about the pinout...

intron

so which PSU can You recommend?

wanna be prepared before miners arrives

Quick update:

Good news everyone! Got the M-board v2.2 today! Bloody thing seems to work! (at least it powers up RasPi and feeds fans correctly). I still need some H-boards for final test though.

The fab managed to lose some of the silkscreen (printed graphics on board) unfortunately. There was supposed to be a text "ATTENTION!! Read instructions before assembly!" Now it's just "ATTENTION!!" . And also, just by the PCIe power connectors there was a text "Please use both 12V connectors & PCI polarity" which got truncated to "Please use both". There was a small tribute to Satoshi also, which got truncated. Mental note: Do not use text with multiple lines.

I'm going to China next week to check our 2nd production line for H-boards, and before that I'll try prepare as much as I can for testing and sending these beasts out to you.

Got some other goodies for you as well.. As you may already know, Foofighter has been working on a case for our miner for quite some time. We have pretty much finalized the design now, and I'm waiting for a quote from a few local metalworks companies. I'm really happy with how it looks, and it should help you get best results from the boards. It could be that we get them manufactured just in time, so that for those of you who want a case, you'll be able to add one to the kit and have it all shipped together. Price is still TBD, as I have no quote from the metalworks yet.

I'll finish it off with some pics:

When shopping for a PC power supply, don't look at the total power, but check the manual for the power that's available on the +12V wires. It is usually less. Also, when have a multi-voltage supply, like a regular PC PSU, and you only draw power from the 12V, the voltage may drop more than in an application where the 5V and 3.3V is also loaded. The H-CARDs don't mind if the voltage drops a bit, but you'll get increased current, and this stresses the PSU even more.

Looks good to me! Possibly enough power for 2 actually!

400watts should be sufficient including a few Fans, just watch out that the PSU has 2 x 6/8pin PCIE connectors.

I have the be quiet 480watt - gold at hand

Punin can you tell me if this psu will work http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-be-quiet!-dark-power-pro-10-bn202-93-eff-80-plus-gold-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-fan-atx-v231-psu

That's all the info I was looking for!
Thanks for the update!

Excellent, and thanks for the quick reply!

As expected, ... another scam.
No one will sell you a hen that lays golden eggs.
Sorry for the spam.

in fact

i was promissed 100 ths of chips by bitfury for a certain price.while the time of delivery was approaching he decided to increase the price X5 and has make me waste 3/4 months and have delayed my own project.


so i can only agree with you abt the fact that greed is dangerous and no matter what people says while they can earn somehow what is the use of respecting their own words/comitment?

They will be honored. Chip sales will resume as early as later this week.

This has been somehow taken out of context, and is not true. I have no time to go into investigating this more. We have all the chips that we need for august orders, and october chips are in production.

Most likely late October since 100TH (mining company) mining gear has been delayed by 1 month, too.

If i order a starter kit or full mining kit from megabigpower, would i get the equipment by early October or late October? Which one. And, would i get it the same time as everyone else who ordered an October unit?

Will the chip-preorders that were made while they were on sale be honored, or will the purchasers be redirected to other products or a refund?
