Just to clarify, prawda is involved in this sale, yes. The avalon units are from a project we planned.

Ha ha, it looks like I am just too impatient.  Sorry all.  Got an update that the units are being packed.  Separating the individual components is taking some time, very understandable.

Hello prawda,

Are you involved in this sale as well? I am not having much luck recently getting in touch with Shades.  I have purchased and paid, but I found that DE post won't allow me to pay for the 68EUR freight charge to USA.  I offered to pay shades the cost plus extra for his trouble, but have not heard back for a few days.  So I was wondering if this sale will go on or not.

Update is:

People are being contacted, 1 guy has paid already. How delivery is done has to be determined. Delivery to Germany is included or any other delivery as expensive as this.

Do you have solder stencils for these boards? 
Sorry, no. Different companies use different stencils so you should let them make the stencil they require.

So it looks like this auction is ended..?  Can you please tally the buyers here and PM the payment address.

Yes. Unit sold:

Hey, here's one I can answer

The chip is 1st gen Avalon (A3256), and the expected hashrate of a full unit is 85-110GH.


What kinds of chips does this run on?

Whats the hash rate of a completed unit?

I'm in for one at .5 if you can also provide one completed unit too work off of. :-)

We don't have a completed unit. If we had, we would mine with it and not give it away for a portion of its cost (0.5 btc). We prototyped 2 boards from sample chips, that's all. A complete unit has 32 boards.

How many chips per board?

A board holds 10 chips, as can be seen from pictures.

[...]
sounds like hard work. newbies will hate this but it will be useful for my training classes.

Soldering manually is hard work, yes. Having it done by a pick and place machine is not. But I guess you won't find a company doing it for 32 boards (1 unit) for a small price. We found a german company doing it for ~5000€ for all 500 boards, as well as a chinese company doing it for less than 1000 but their quality is crap.

Would this be a way of attaching the chips? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdAibUZb1gQ

I don't have any experience with attaching chips, I would need someone to do it for me.

I've seen reballing done on chips, but not this.  He's putting flux on the board, and then just sticking chips on it?  WTF?!?  They'll just slide off, won't they?

See this video for a demonstration of reballing a game system CPU:

What you have to do:

1) Finish the hash units. We have the pcb, capacitor, resistors and all other electronical components necessary. You have the Avalon Chips.
1a) You solder it yourself, and place the components by hand and solder manually according to schematics (http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/hardware/A3256/avalon/2013-11-30/HASH_UNIT/)
1b) You engage a company to solder the hash units. We approached some (german and chinese) companies and have the necessary documents, if you want to go this way

2) All other components are finished already, so connect everything

3) Build the casings

4) Put stuff from 2) into 3)

5) Buy proper ATX and connect it

6) Mine!

7) Huh

Cool Profit

Yes, this is one way. You can also let a company do this if you send them the Altium files.

Now that's a proactive approach if anything, I'll say Smiley
