i have a question about paying with a credit card, can the payment be broken on 2 cards?
my highest limit is 7500 and i would like to order the 400gh.

Thanks

You can call your CC company and ask for a higher limit.

What PSU model would you recommend?

It would depend how many H-boards are in use. A starter kit would work fine with a 350W supply, even a 200W supply likely. A full 400GHash rig would need at least 500W (assuming that bitfury is operating near the 1w/GHash design), but a 750W supply would be best

I'm leaning towards having the new M-board design made here in the states on a quick turn. If I can't make that happen, I'll supply an appropriate cable so we don't have any confusion.

The first M-board was not made for ease of use or
something but to be as low-cost as possible for the
100TH. That's why the Keystone terminals were chosen,
they were the next cheapest after soldering bare wires
to the board:)

What you can do is take a bunch of the thin wires
coming from the PSU, bundle them together and
cut them. Then solder a thick, 2 mm^2 or so wire to
the bundle, connect that with a crimp terminal to
the Keystone connector. Leave the PSU wires as short
as possible and run the nice thick wire thru your rig.
Insulate the solder joints of course:)

Thanks Intron - I have no problem with this for 100TH mine, but I think I want to be very careful with the rigs that ship to customers. Does anyone know of a plastic safety cover for these Keystone terminals? I'd like to get a bunch for the mine...

Hey guys, the first boards are shipping from the factory tomorrow. These are for 100TH rigs, but the August rigs are right on the heels of these boards (I don't know how long it takes them to make the 100TH boards). The August delivery rigs were ordered in the same batch - this is different from what I've posted previously - I had forgotten that we added to the order over the top of what was needed for 100TH.

Tytus has the software working pretty well at this point - its only consuming 25% - 30% of an rPi's processor resources, which I think is pretty amazing!

A lot of work still needs to be done around things like producing some instructions and safety recommendations. These things really are kits from that standpoint. As soon as I can post pics of how to properly set up your rigs, I'll post it on my website. I want to make sure you can get your rigs up & running without damaging them, yourself or your personal property.

Hey, I made a quick video showing screen output from a rig - thought I'd share that.

Hi Dave, when you say "but the August rigs are right on the heels of these boards" does this include the starter kits as well, or just full 400GH/s rigs?

Starter kit is still a rig - I should say August product I guess

If the new M-boards are not ready, I want to start preparing my PSU for the older version.

Otherwise, you will get the first version M-board, which has a Keystone Terminal http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/8197/8197K-ND/316833 for power.

I am kind of confused at this keystone terminal. How would I go about connecting it to an ATX PSU? Would I need to cut my PSU ground and 12v wires to hook up to these terminals?

Also, this is awesome! First ASIC company to ship on time?!

I'd suggest you get a PSU power cable splitter (one female to 2 male molex connectors) and cut one of those connectors off, rather than cutting the molex connector off the PSU cable....

http://www.outletpc.com/jp1932.html

There's about 25A DC on this connection between PSU and M-board. I've seen more than one PSU cable cut and connected to the terminals in some pics - Intron - do you see this as necessary? My 100TH setup involves a dedicated 350w lab supply with high strand count 12ga copper, so I haven't crossed this issue yet.

A single wire of a PSU used for PCs is rather thin,
you would like to connect a few in parallel so not
to overheat wires. I once burnt wire + connector
just to power a GPU board.

Isn't the kit supposed to come with a PSU compatible connector?

Quote

2 x Ring terminal to Molex-Jr adapter cable

This was my general impression as well. At present, I only have a new PSU, while being in the process of ordering a case and 120mm fans. If there are other elements needed to make the kit run smoothly upon acquisition, I'm sure Dave will let us know.

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...

It would probably be ideal to just use a single cut PCIe adapter with three wires to each point (+12v and Gnd). Then you can just connect the PCIe cable from the PSU and you are rolling.

id think a single wire is out of spec for 300+ w . safer to use multiple.

EDIT:
Actually, you should use and do that with 2 separate 6 pin PCi-e connectors coming from the PSU since they're supposed to be rated at 75 watts, and a full 16 board system probably is drawing more than 120 watts.

Cut off the Molex connector of your PSU wiring and
solder or crimp them to something like these:
