Topic: [Closed]Avalon Chips - 0.081 BTC (Global+Escrow)-BATCH2 SECURED - page 58. (Read 100377 times)

GUYS! I was thinking on the following: DO YOU WANT ANOTHER BATCH OPEN? IS THERE INTEREST FOR IT? It would arrive sometime in the middle of August, maximum the beginning of September.

I wait for confirmation of one block...I think 15 minutes and I send 1.62 Btc to you

Thanks, Skrubalov. Your tip was enough to cover that gap, you shouldn't have sent more BTC... But thank you!

[Edit: You've got the address right. All BTC goes to John's escrow address for now. Then we sort it out from there]

Thanks,
Confirmed!

I confirm the receipt of t13hydra's ID and a bank statement proving his address and identity.

Thanks,
John

I insist on paying you. The tip is for you and your efforts. I am confused just for the address that i should send the fee to.

Nono, you have sent enough. I still have 0.2 BTC from the tip you've sent

No need to send anything anymore. Thanks for being proactive!

Regards,
Steve

I have ordered a total of 64 chips so i should send additional 0.128 to YOUR address ?
Just confirm and i will do it.

Thank you! I saw the multiple Voff payments. I was wondering what's going on.

Order updated.

Soooo

I think it's time to open another thread offering the boards. It's getting confusing to people and complicated to keep track of all.

85 Eur should cover (almost) all: Bare PCB + Components + Heatsink + Fan
It does not cover the Power "sauce" nor the Avalon chips. --->> NEED HELP HERE! Need a power source solution that is smaller than an ATX supply. I'm thinking on a power brick used for the BFL Jalapeno, LittleSingle, Single.

That's exactly right. So to get a bigger picture, i am currently making an offer for several types of packages:
- Bare PCB without components
- Populated PCB without chips
- Populated PCB with Your chips
- Populated PCB with My chips (still thinking on possibilities here - Possibly High lead time)
- Populated PCB with your chips + heatsink + fan
- Populated PCB with My chips + heatsink + fan (still thinking on possibilities here - Possibly High lead time)
- Any of the above in bigger quantities (wholesale) at a lower price!
- ATX Power supply
Power supply NOT included, sold separately!

I know we are playing an estimation game...but is that 85 Eur a shot in the dark for a K16 with all needed components installed (resisters, capacitors, etc etc etc....excluding heatsinks, fans and PSU...not counting the Avalon ASICs).

Or are we talking board only? No components at all.

// When did this thread go from only ASIC buy to K16 must have?  

Might be. But not necessary neet to be if you're smart and assume error rates. The chips are tested at the TSMC foundry. The PCBs will be tested electrically by the factory here. I will test the boards personally before shipping them out. So if something snaps, i will have backup chips / PCBs to send to customers. Noone will be left out, i promise that!

Hello,
No offence, but i would not like to disclose the cost of the materials and manufacturing. Not that it's dirt-cheap, but i just don't want to give that information out. It's definitely not under 70 Eur, that's for sure. Currently i'm trying to solve a heatsink and fan on every device, so the final price for the K16 design would be 85 Eur WITHOUT power source. I'm also wondering if Bkkcoins can provide a barrel jack or something on the device, so we won't be forced to use a huge ATX power supply for only 2 boards, for example.
There is a small fee for handling the chips too. 0.081 per chip covers John's commission, import tax and something on the side for me, but not much. The idea is to have the chips already ordered and then to have those sample chips coming in to build a nice little proto board.
Shipping time for the chips will be Batch-Completion-Date + 1-2 days + 10 Weeks TSMC lead time. I really hope we can close the batch before the end of May, though. That would be awesome. It will arrive sometime in the first week on August.

The price of the materials (PCB + elements, different from the Avalon chips) will be added in this 75-100 Euro estimated price for the Klondike (16 chips design) PCB. If there is a fee, it will be added in the price  of the PCB (completed board + elements, different from Avalon chips).
The final price of the asic miner will be:
1. [price of avalon chips]
+
2. [price of PCB]
+
3. [price of Fans, Radiators, Power Supply, Case].

I suppose position 3 will be optional. For example I will not need Cases for miners, I plan making waterblocks for my miners, which will remove the need for fans and radiators, I'll try to make power supply on my own. So in my case position 3 will not be calculated in my final price.
 

Shipping to you will depend on your location. If you are outside EU, you might have to pay (import taxes + VAT) in your country, but this is highly individual for each and every country. The cost of the shipping will be the least of the whole price. For example, if you are outside EU, and you order 2-3 bare PCB (no Fans, no Radiators, no power supply, only PCB with all soldered elements) there is very good chance you package to pass customs without paying anything, as it will be small package. But if you have 20 boards, with fans, radiators, power supply's, it will be big and heavy package, which will most likely attract attention when in customs and it will checked, for which you'll have to pay VAT and import taxes.
