Topic: [CLOSED] Bitmine CoinCraft A1 28nm chip distribution / DIY support - page 15. (Read 81287 times)

Are any 3rd party board developers likely to be producing populated cards to go into the Coincraft Desk or Coincraft Rigs? There will be a number of people getting an extra chassis with their 10% customer protection bonuses, and likely to have empty slots. Bitmine aren't currently advertising cards to plug into existing chassis, so maybe a good market for someone to target?

What about hobbyists that just want to buy a few chips to experiment with, how are they being catered for?
Where do you draw the line here? Aren't hobbyists part of the DIY scene, or what would be your classification of a hobbyist?
I believe making chips available in lots of 50 is exactly aiming at hobbyists. Or are you saying there are people out there investing time to develop some mining boards and then produce only one of them? I won't expect that, i.e. if someone has a working board, he should have a vital interest to order at least 50 chips.
Please let me know if I am not aware of common use-cases out there and I will consider.
There are plenty of people that just make a miner for the heck of it, other people take their design and make more boards.
Just see the Bitfury thread for a raft of examples.

Update: Chips arrived and re-shipped
Chip Distribution
Bitmine received the first lot of chips on Thursday. Orders that have been paid by then where shipped on Friday, the remaining ones will do after I receive the payment in full.
With that, also the 2nd wave of samples have been sent / will be sent on Monday to
Good Luck with your designs.
New Terms for free Sample Chips
In the past few days I received around 30 requests for samples. While glad to hear about so many DIYers, given the fact that most of them were from folks just registered to the forum, I need to assume the service is misinterpreted as free chips giveaway.
Generally, with the availability of the A1 in volumes, the distribution of free sample chips ended. For serious developers I will still left a supply option open, but to distinguish them from free-riders I have to adapt the terms as follows: 2 sample chips are shipped to developers at their effective costs of $250. That amount will be deducted from the payment of that developer's first order of 50+ chips - with that they effectively become free samples again.
I'm sure you agree that this change is required to be able to provide best support to the serious developers.

...
- chips are offered at Bitmine's price for 500+ chips at time of order +8% (today 3.5$/GHps, including surplus: $4'725 / 50 chips)
...
Cheers,
zefir

The price listed above is $4725/50= $94.50 each. Looks like a great buy, especially considering the simplicity of the chip design. Still, nearly $5k is just too much for me right now.
Anyone willing to part with just one or two of these chips?
January 30, 2014, 05:53:51 PM
Looks like 8, about 25 GH/s each.

marto74 How many chips are running?

I have to say, marto74 is making this look easy. Congrats!

When we get on our bike and start working on the A1 we would like to invite the EE's posting here to meet with our EE's might be good to have a sit down with everyone to discuss things.
A sit down where? ;-)

I tried hashing the test vectors but got no response from the chip. This was still using a single chip. Next step is to assemble a second board with the other sample chip.
Booooooo ;-(
On the other hand, I'm glad I never actually submitted my single chip board to the PCB house. I kept tweaking it and thankfully you posted your single chip troubles.
Thanks!
