Personally, I -- and you -- should be far more interested in the transparency of the mining rules.  This is a lot of hashpower concentrated into one operator's hands.

What bitcoind version will be used to generate blocks?

What patches will be applied, if any?

Is ASICMiner going to run all these boards in one warehouse? How much power just for the 800 boards? 200-400KW?
They will also need some pretty impressive AC units to keep it cool.
They better hope not, or they're nowhere near their 4.2J/GH mark. Even if they put out 20TH/s, that would be 10-20J/GH.

Looks like the network speed is back down to 22.53 Thash. Might we be the first to get all capacity online?

156Gh confirmed. 20+Th(68-88Gh*300) in batch 1, though nobody seems to have an accurate count on how much of that capacity has shipped.

12TH... how much is the hashrate in total that avalon shipped?

Are the 800 boards more or less 12TH/s?

It would seem like it... 12TH/s and 800 boards means about 15GH/s per board; judging by the looks of those boards it's quite likely.

I propose a vote for brigning shareholder with 2500+ on the board.

I vote Yay !  Wink

I believe the 800 boards are the full 12TH from the first batch, which will come online gradually.

Well, there's 64 chips on that board. If 30GH/s per 95 chips is right, 800 hashing units would be 16.2TH/s

It gets even better. The chips may in fact be able to be clocked much higher than they planned for. So we could be looking at doubling the current hashrate overnight if we're lucky (pre-Avalon, anyways).

BFL is going to be last to the game.  Just fantastic.

thanks for the update, friedcat. it is well appreciated. awesome work!

eb3full or some other board memeber: would you care to share some details?

Like friedcat said, full deployment will take place in the first week or two. I think we'll have a better idea in a few days how long it'll take to deploy all of the boards.

The exchange is still slated to happen after the first dividend.

thanks!
wasn't it before the first dividend?


Sorry! The plan is after deployment, but before the first dividend.

Update

We are on our revised timeline, and are about to deploy 800 hashing boards in early February. The picture down below is the QC device we are about to take to the assembling service before we pick up all the assembled boards tomorrow:

small:


large:


The board on the upper-left is the power supply module. The upper-right one is the back side of the hashing board with VM connectors and heatsinks attached on. The bottom-left one is the front side of the hashing board without DIP components or heatsinks. The bottom-right one is the tester for QC, and it will be replaced by the controller board in real use.

A more detailed update is given to the board. Please note that the board member list has met its first adjustment, removing shareholders who hold much less than 5,000 after the initial offering from the board.


Sick.

Thanks for the update, made my day.
