good reminder, 65BTC for 10 GH/s I told people at the time this will never ROI and they were crazy for buying at these prices..... I guess manufacturers made a shit load of money after all.

@friedcat,
Will you offer some trade-in or discount for those who purchased blades for 50 BTC. It's less that 50% recouped so far

Good question. Hope that there will be some trade in / discount for loyal first customers.

While the first round's customers will have a free upgrade to newer blades, this round's customers will have the free upgrade of the newer power modules and ethernet controllers only.
Will they come by july 10ths? Do we have to ask for the upgrade or will he ship it to us without any question?

I don't think this was for this new round of blades.
It was related to the 2nd and 3rd round of auctions early in May. what he meant was that First auction winners will get the upgrade for free.!

8. Can I submerge the pcb in oil without losing the warranty?
You can submerge it in (non corrosive) oil to cool it. If you handle this correctly its lifespan might be even longer than with fan cooling.

Can you provide more details about how to do this? Submerging in oil will not short circuit the board? Should we submerge the whole blade or only the ASICs? I do not want to risk damaging the blades.

Actually, I have asked whether it affect warranty or not.
I've been submerging various hardware in oil in the past. It requires a custom made container to make it work properly. The 100% pure mineral oils (used also in transformers) do not conduct electricity and have exceptional cooling properties.
As I have 4 blades I have already designed a container for myself and it's being assembled. When we finish testing it I might be offering these on a built to order basis.
Here's a model of the unit for 5 blades:

yes 12V @ 10A per blade.
While you *could* run the blades in series on that, giving each of them 12V @ 10A, I really wouldn't recommend it.
Most people get a decent ATX PSU with enough amps on a 12V rail and use the PCI-e plugs - works fine for my 4.

Yes, I also thought about the serial way, but I am worried about my little babies.
I will have a try to put off one of my old computers to get the ATX PSU.
I will get 2 blades from the 3.5th auction, and now I am not sure whether they will be shipped with power supply units for the blades. Could someone who has obtained the blades please confirm it for me?
I just found a switching regulator DRP-240-24 from my friend, 24V * 10A, so it will be suitable for my 2 blades?
Thanks.

NO Power supply units. Buy them yourself.
Thank you.

I think they require 12V, not 24.
