Has it been clearly stated if purchased in BTC ... if refunded... would be refunded in USD? I assume so, but I didn't see it stated (actually I am lazy and didn't look because I am lazy )

Can anyone (Or Dave) figure out the distance between mounted H-Boards?
I'm trying to figure out the standoff size.
I'm trying to figure out the standoff size.
can give you the measurements you needs, currently designing a housing for it so if have got them.
hboard distance is 20mm
Hmmm...
I'm not sure how you calculated this, but my rough estimation is around the same number. Here is how I am guessing, please tell me if I made a mistake as my method is kinda rough.
I looked at the schematic earlier in the thread. Took 164mm, counted 8 slots (from the right side of the board), figured the distance between each slot looked to be about the same dimensions as the slots themselves and calculated (164/16 = 10.25). Then consider the measurement we want is the distance from middle of the slot to the next middle of the slot (minus the thickness the PCB) = 20.5 mm
So, are the PCBs .5mm thick?
If we're right and it is 20mm, that's great. However, if it's 19.75 or 20.25, after stacking 16 of these there will be problems.

Is there a datasheet available for these chips? I'm looking to start a board design that will push them a bit harder than the c-scape board.
Not so much a formal datasheet just yet. I can provide pinouts and files for the test adapter that will give you instructions enough to get it going and overclock the chip. There are also resources that are blogging/posting about their work:

silly question, what's the point of selling the chips alone if no one has the board to put them on?
Some people, who have the knowledge and skill required, like to design their own miners around bare chips.
July bare chip buyers: we are starting shipping soon. Tytus will be shipping them to me Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. I ordered enough from Tytus to handle a few extra orders of the 10 pc cut tape for July, but not too many.
For bare chip buyers, we provide design files for Bitfury's single chip test adapter, which has schematics and instructions, as well as the reference design for the M & H boards we sell.
Cheers,
Dave
if bitfury's asic chips are already shipping, why is noone offering design/assembly services for those asic chips and instead all crowded over the avalon chips which is still in hope & dream mode given their shady track record. Dont understand.
Looks like there are still plenty chips available for july shipment, i would buy them if someone can assemble them as i dont have the expertise.
It's just strange so many people and investment are made on the avalon chips yet this asic chip is ready now and shipping but noone seem to care.
Why?
Because the bitfury thing came up pretty quick and every of the devs has to finish their avalon design

Im pretty sure dave refunded the difference between the old and new october prices. I'm not sure if anyone had ordered the h-boards before he raised those prices but I suspect that the count was small enough that Dave has grandfathered them.

If there are starter kits that get cancelled, shouldn't the existing october buyers get bumped up delivery since they paid the same price?
The very first Oct. orders were @1850 but I don't know if they actually sold.
I was one of the first October orders at the reduced/new price. If memory serves based on 400 units initially "available" I'm betting less than 5 sold at the higher price (if any at all).

you can find the h-boards under DIY. They are about 350 h-boards open for order in october. don't snag them all, I need a few more...

Oh, thanks! I'll go order some.

Dave.
August products show out of stock. October products show in stock. Is this accurate? or Can August stuff be ordered now even though it reads out of stock?

Short answers: Yes. No.
Since the August deliveries are all sold out (and they aren't going to be adding stock for August), I recommend that they remove those items from the web store. It just confuses the new folks.
Technically if somebody refunds their order (which happened once already), there would be limited August stock for a short amount of time.

For buyers who only purchase 10 chips, do you also provide reference documentary?
Yes
