Topic: [ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe - page 92. (Read 250482 times)

I'm pretty tempted to order from you I must say...

PCBs are not problem. I still considering the purchase of chips. But we have no guarantee that Metabank or other large customer does not put hands on the majority produced chips.
In effect at October  we will be in the same situation as it is today with Avalon. I do not know which is worse, do business with Chinese people or the Russians?

Punin, can you give a guarantee that the ordered chips will go to the customer on time and in the right order, since most of the product from your shop with August delivery was moved to a shop in the US and is no longer available to us ?

I'm under the impression that BitFury, unlike other ASIC manufacturers, does not oversell. But I've been wrong before (with other companies)...

Well half a month then
Seriously, if someone can see the future there is much more than 'accurate estimation' one can do.
I am sure, if you can accurately predict the date at which the chips will arrive and the broads will be printed and populated with all the required components (received in time or when they are), Punin will be able to give accurate estimation, but for the future there are just rough expectations ... there are no reasons for delays right now, but this doesn't mean that he lied if there are some latter.
Producing 5 or 10 boards is not like producing 1-10k especially if you don't know is it 1k or 10k

Great job, really amazing.

Punin, quick question: If I pre-order now a 400GH unit for October, can you give an accurate estimation of the week when it will be deliver?

I'm trapped now in BFL and Avalon chips pre-order nightmare... I would like to know what I can expect.

Cheers

P.D.: Please don't answer me 'in two weeks'... ;-)

Quite an achievement, respect!

Don't you mean to say the the power consumption is lower than expected?

Update:

Rev2 M-boards are currently in production, and I really think it's a good idea to ship the units with those as it makes it more plug and play. My original idea was to produce an adapter cable from PCIe to ring connector, but there's small problem: there's no female cable connector for PCIe Molex(!!), only board ones. This would then mean people would need to cut the PCIe cables that came with their ATX PSU or use a different PSU, a path which I don't want to go, because there are too many things that can go wrong with this approach. Also, although we do provide kensington screw terminals on the board, you don't need to use these if you use two PCIe connectors.

I still believe we will be shipping everything as promised, apart from possibly exceeding specs by 25% on the power consumption side. I'm also working together with Foofighter to produce casings for these units, ie. boxes with fans I have doubts we will have them available in time for August shipments though

I should be getting first M-boards on friday, so if all goes as planned, we would start shipping week 34.

Thank you for your orders and support, we're working hard to get these units in your hands asap!

EDIT: Apparently cablez has found a female PCIe connector. I'll try to get hold of these, so we have a plan b should there be any problems with v2 M-board.

Made a preorder, hopefully they DO deliver in October.

The rev-1 M-boards should be coming with PCI-e to ring connector adapters, if they end up shipping any of those to end users.  Dave says the 100TH mine is set up to use lab-type PSUs, so they'll be wanting the rev-1 cards.  I guess it will depend on how many of the rev-1 boards they made before they changed the connectors...

I heard rumors that nearly all shipped mboards will be Rev2 for august delivery

M-board rev 2 has pci-e connectors, but not rev 1 which should be the one shipped in august.

spiccioli

   Full kit 400Gh/s use 2xPCI-E(2x6 pins) cables for it.

Those 2 posts in the us thread.... opened some questions in my mind about the m-board psu connection ^^

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2885646

I read that thread and apparently the issue occurred because the guy ONLY connected the ATX 24-pin connector to the board but didn't connect the rest of the other connectors to the Avalon board (I ignore what those are).
So the bottom line is connect all the board connectors to distribute the amperage load.

In the case of BF, does anyone know which connectors must be connected to the PSU. I don't seem to see any 24-pin connectors in the m-board layout pics. I think it only has 2 Molex in other to power it, correct?

  You need around 500W psu for full 400Gh/s kit.


Safely

ps: read this post first for someone fuk up Avalon miner  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269802.0

Regarding the PSU are there any recommendations (full miner with 16 h-boards)?

Are those specifications still valid for the m-board included in the Starter Kit (August)?

• Compatible with ATX PSU
• 2 x Ring terminal to Molex-Jr adapter cable

thx.

if this was already answered feel free to link/help ...

why do you say that?

  are you asking too much already?

So does this mean August delivery is guaranteed? If it is not met will customers get compensated?
