Will megabigpower be offering a discount for November orders?
 I dont know but no one know and by that time maybe all miners stock might be gone when Aug. order delivery ship out.
My intention is not to be rude, but if you don't know, then don't reply. You are just wasting everyone's time, most of all the OP's. The only person who *may* know is Dave.

   You are right and we dont know anythings then no way  Dave will low price in Nov. also bad for Oct. buyers.

I don't intend to do presales after the October batch ships.  This means we intend to have product in-stock.  Prices will probably go up, not down.

   Thank you

However - as my opinion whether you are recommended to buy or not buy - I don't know your regulations there and suppose they're quite strict, like FCC stuff and EMC tests. Until for example proper measurements of equipment are done - it may be risky to install many of these near yourself due to electromagnetic emission and noise. So either properly designer board and/or filters and/or shielding is required. I hope that this would be clarified soon. This is also true for homebrew devices that you make and don't care about switching noise such devices produce (like I saw in some DIY stuff where powering of such high-power chips are done in absolutely insane ways, or like problems with other asic vendors, you know them by the way likely, where their shipments were banned by customs due to these violations).

Anyway, as far as I know Dave has as well options to install miners in his location - this would be likely safe in any way, and maybe if you install these - before proper measurements done (i.e. in special laboratory with antennas where typically EMC measurements are done) - this maybe risky to install at home,  or at least close to you - so don't sit near miner 24x7 and don't put those close to you.

You should care about that and do not put your health into unnecessary risk. However I suppose Dave will do his best to solve these issues and make device fully compliant for safe usage. However that still won't mean that such equipment can be installed in bulk at home, and should be spreaded in space for maintaining safely low electromagnetic noise. Likely also undervolted boards is nice choice for safety, but all of that should be measured, and likely will be measured, the only delay could be there (and it is basically your choice) that such measurements could take additional time and can't be done before August timeframe. This depends.


I apologize if this has been covered, I tried skimming the thread, and may have missed this. I'm a software guy, not much on hardware, EM emission & noise safety precautions. Can someone please point me to a thread or some resources where I can take the necessary precautions to prevent health risks to myself and those around me? I plan on operating both a BitFury Full Kit, and a HashFast BabyJet in my 1 bed + den apartment. Would I need to purchase special casing/shielding etc to prevent health risks? If I ran both these units in a small well-ventilated den, and I stayed away from the room for the most of the time, would I be ok? Also, if it were to burst into flames, is there some auto-sprinkler device or some shielding I can use to prevent burning my landlord's building down, in the event no one is present?  Any resources/threads on this would be very appreciated!

EDIT: I skimmed the thread more and nobody commented on bitfury's post about EM emmission & noise safety... And this disclaimer came from BITFURY himself!

You could use this for shielding

Its a fair question and I don't have an answer yet.  We haven't had a chance to do much EM testing...we can find this out fairly soon once we are past the current production hassle.

im not an electrical engineer or anything, but i would imagine the risks are fairly low - we are surrounded by poorly shielded electronics daily. However, I would advise not putting this near your bed/couch/desk where it is in close proximity for long periods of time, because that is the greatest likeliness of harm

Alternatively, i *believe* a grounded tinfoil wall/shield will stop some (how much i dont know) of the emissions.

Alternatively V2.0 : wear a tinfoil hat. they are scientifically proven to protect you from the harms of science

..alright...who's buying up all the components? Angry (ignore me if you don't know what i'm talking about  Tongue)

I've had my wishlist open since purchasing, and refresh it a few times each day haha. Looks like a couple of big chunks went, likely people filling up their M-boards. While I'd love to purchase the remaining 12 H-boards to fill mine, I don't have enough free money for it right now.  Sad

Are your boards using an external clock? (as opposed to the chip internal clock I mean, not a user-provided external clock)

Nope. They are using the internal clock....which scales with voltage (and software settings).

Our boards are designed for max efficiency.  They are running the chips at exactly the most profitable value point watts/dollar.  If you want more hashes you should buy more hardware.  Now that being said, a lot of people don't look at it this way - this is a perspective more suited to a very large private mining operation that intends to run far into the future.

Its true that our boards are hardwired to a certain clock frequency.  We've got them running about 440Gh/s gross hashrate.  After errors, tested nonce rates are seen at 410 - 415Gh/s.  That's probably about all you are going to get out of them.  You can gain some watts efficency by turning them down...certainly this will become a factor some day, depending on what you pay for power.

I know there is a *lot* of interest for an overclocking rig and I'm working on it.  Can't share details yet, as I'm under NDA, but something cool is coming.

thank you for the updates guys...

I will see how it goes... and will probably order the Oct 400ghz when the Aug guys get their hardware...
