so its 130$ for the complete board, fully assembled with chips, working out-of-the-box?

Correct. Everything you need execpt USB cable and PSU. Keep in mind that this price is still tentative, and subject to change before the order forms open in ~2 weeks.

When will batch #2 arrive? August/September or September/October? And what will be the end price (board + chips)?

Hi itreptau,

Batch two will arrive 9-10 weeks after the order is placed, so the sooner we can place it the better. Current projections are $130 per ten chips, but this will ultimately depend on whether we purchase a second batch and create a larger contract with the board assembly plant.

Additionally, I am working on a plan where you will be able to purchase boards at a discounted rate in exchange for a portion of the hashrate your board produces. This will allow for a slightly lower barrier to entry, which everyone should appreciate Smiley Stay tuned!

I too am interested in assembly.

I am in the process of moving (back) to Idaho, so my question is twofold. One, are you anywhere near the Boise area, and if yes, would face to face pickup be possible?

Kevin.

I'm up north, close to Spokane and Coeur d' Alene, and face to face pickup will be available to whoever would like to come out here.

I should have solidified assembly plans next week.

Best,
Garrett

My parents are in Hayden lake how close? post falls?

Hayden lake is less than 30 minutes from me Smiley

In other news, have you seen Yifu taunting the 450 mh/s number? What are your thoughts on a water/oil cooled system? I figure the developers/designers are too far along to implement a similar feature until later down the road. I suppose cost analysis would need to be done first but was wondering if any discussion had arisen.

Yeah we know that that number will be achievable with proper cooling on our boards. We are certainly making the components much more robust than necessary in order to make this possible with modified cooling. For most people, it is not cost effective to have a water-cooled system, so we are leaving that up to you guys, the community. I'd love to see a water-cooling block developed for these after we release them!

Any updates on this project?
Thanks!

Yes indeed! This is an exiting two weeks for the board development. If everything goes as planned, which we are extremely confident of, our final board revision will be hashing in two weeks! We are ready for mass production, with the sourcing for parts revised (some power regulators were getting too warm for comfort, so we went with some higher-duty ones) and completed. We are opting for superior components because these boards will be sold with a one year warranty, covering board and component failure entirely but not end-user abuse or Avalon chip failure, because both of those variable are out of our control.

Once I have verified that the final revision is perfect and ready to go, I will open up an order form for these boards. For those of you new to the project, these boards will be overclockable to an estimated 350mh/s per chip, as opposed to the ~270mh/s per chip that other producers are offering.

Since Avalon is accepting orders for chips again, I will open up a batch 2 tonight. Batch 1 chips are still for sale, but at a large premium because of how early the order was placed (early May) and I'd like to keep some for myself as well Smiley

Further updates, pictures, and videos of the final product coming soon Smiley

Cheers,
Garrett

Haven't seen anything turn up yet, was it an e-mail or pm?

Email, check your spam box.

Thats the first thing I did  Cheesy Wasn't attached to your prior emails either so I'm stumped. Shot you a new email though so let me know how to proceed, Ill check again tomorrow morning and can send BTC before work.

Any updates on the hardware miner?
Thanks!

Yep, the parts sourcing is finalized and firm prices will be coming in later this week. Testing of the final board revision is going to happen on schedule, which is extremely weird for mining hardware haha Smiley

Most of the chips just sold in a large private deal, I upped the price to 0.5 per chip for future orders. Discounts for orders of 100+.

Not sure about the signing stuff. That needed, too?

Nope, you're all set. Usually I'll only ask you to sign a message if you want to change your shipping address.
