I am very interested. Count me in for a few boards if you can do discount on assembly to be competitive against the MegaBigPower pricing

Would be interested in a small quantity. Interested in QF blank board + Vregulator,
are you talking about just the VRegulator chip or the chip + components? As part
of a "kit" of components or soldered to PCB? I also have BF chips on order, so I don't necessarily
want or need the chips unless yours would show up before mine (paid Reel #1 GB).
Of course, having extra is fine, but not if that delays getting the kit(s).

question is, "when"?

i would take 32 Boards (1TH) but that would need to be done until February
after that, at least 3 of the TH-vendors will be shipping out a lot cheaper

Hi - I have separately purchased a LOT of 500 BF chips.  So I would like to get 32 of these made up.  Can you let me know the price if I supply the chips I have?

So even when buying complete units we would have to solder on the chips ourselves? If not, I would be interested in 4-6.

"Will you be providing a source for the backplane?"
I've seen M-board kits and complete boards around the forum but have not noticed anything particularly recent.

Do you expect to have M-boards available?
Or have a known source for them?

- Are you in the US? (checking to see shipping costs)

New to this so these may be very basic questions:
- What's the Power usage on this 16 chip board?
- Can you have more than 16 chips on one board too? I was thinking that, spending $100+ on 16 chip board only may be expensive by feb-end.
anything?

These are functionally similar and slightly better thermally, to Bitfury v1 H-boards and need an M-board to make them operational. The default power usage and speed can be looked up in the link provided in the first post.
>16 chips / board is not supported right now.
Thanks.

Interested in 2-3 packs, depending on the final price, ideally all assembled to connect  Wink Wink

Shipping to Europe?

Thanks

Shipping to EU should be possible. Assembly here implies that the chips will be soldered, Voltage regulator needs to be soldered by the user. Should not take more than 10mins per card.

Tough to be worth it if these are mailed out late Feb. Any chance of getting them out sooner?

It all depends on the chip release schedule, which is currently no earlier than mid-february.

A couple additional full kits possible to round things out.

Interested in 1 or 2 kits. Each board does approx ~35Gh/s correct?
Yes on an average speed's 35GH/s. The minimum observed speed is 32GH/s (if two chips throw errors). Some cards with 16 good chips run at 37GH/s.

The package will cost $50(v1 H-board) + $5.5*18(some BF chips throw MISO errors right out of the reel) + $60 (regulator) = ~$209e.a.
Assembled boards will cost ~$75 extra e.a.

BYOC is also possible.

Guys anyone interested in a group buy? If yes please let me know on this thread how many. You will have to solder the chips yourself, it's easy if you know how to solder a QFN. You need some solder paste + hot air + solder iron for the contacts.
