That was the compensation x1 psu and the shipping on the 2 x1's I ordered Smiley
Ah, shop credit, of course. Waiting a full month for a cheque now, no response on a ticket after 8 business days, from one bad joke in to......

Pistachio, that's indeed what these are worth by now as they won't make much more, hell 2 diff jumps more and they won't pay the electricity used! I'll be happy if I can sell 5 or 10 locally and repay the lent 3 btc I was short to pay Technobit.
Don't expect receiving in August at all, for the lot of us.

just for buyers from GB I dropped price to 355$ each board..if anyone wants it,PM me..(payment in BTC with escrow )

These boards are not worth that much at this point. If someone want's to buy boards, I've got 18 I would sell for $250 each. You pay for shipping from technobit.

Edit: I always accept escrow and Technobit should be able to confirm that I have 18 boards on order. I mailed in the chips myself, so transferring to someone else should not be a problem.

with the amount of boards they have to do a batch of faulty components was the last thing they needed but I think you will like the end results I'm sure.

So how many received their order so far? More than one?

None on my side. Chips arrived July 16. I would rather have working boards than deal with repairs later. Technobit may want to remove the 2-4 weeks time frame from the website and replace it with 6-8 weeks. It is already over five weeks.

Only 2 boards shipped till now? 4 Weeks after chip arrival now, at least?
Is there anyone that actually got his X1/X3 shipping fee and extra psu they paid for back from Minersource since you converted to chips?

well i got it up to 460ghs but damn did it get warm Smiley. I think the one fan mounted in the middle cooling say 1/3 of the board is maybe to small a 200mm one covering a lot more surface may be better, I've allready mounted 2 more fans either side of the 120mm fan cooling the other 2/3rd's of the base heatsink. but if I switch to water cooling I may dip into the overclock once more.

I'm still waiting on my order (dated 2014-07-18) for two boards, payment marked as accepted, no sign of delivery yet though. Martin has mentioned the problems he's had though.

Thx for the headsup Marto,

i appriciate it, i was nearly getting a BA feeling and those are bad.. Cheesy:D

i dont think you would need to test all boards again but a couple of selective ones?
you now know if all the asics chips are good or bad ?


Very small percentage are failing.
We have more common bad soldered chips, that are removed, re-balled and soldered again on specialized repair station
I know your busy Marto.. But a daily update would not hurt. In fact it would help you. I for one could care less if you say we had a step back as we ran into... blah blah blah. Fact is I am of the few who paid in full no conversion chips, and would like to know the status.

 My 12k venture hit 26k+ and I rely on you. Update please....

ok,2 weeks more then promised and we still dont know when we will get boards..where is marto?can someone tell us when shipping starts?as I see some of us already get their boards and I am still not even contacted about shipping :/ how is that possible? :/
I'm here.
We have some minor HW problem and fixing it.
WE do not want to have endless RMA's later.
Just be patient, please.
You'll be contacted for shipping 24 hours in adance
I know it is frustrating , but  do not forget we have to assemble and dissemble cooling on a lot of boards just to make sure it is working ok

Thank you for the understanding

Marto,  can you be a little more specific about HW problem.. what is excatly the problem?
Again sorry for the delay
It is simple problem bad batch of components.
All production is checked and bad components exchanged.
The problem persist only @ full load , so assembly then test , then disassemble ,exchange the component , assembly then test.
At the end disassemble of the test coolers and stacking for shipment.
Again I do not want to make a saga out of this problem and not going to make update posts with :" new "xxxxx" on the way, ETA tommorow "
Just a bad batch of MCU's, that is all.
The bad part is it took us a week to find out what it is , then we have to  get MCU's from different batch and check every single board.
I will not make statements like "next week" or similar.
We are working and as soon we are ready the boards will go out.
I understand that 2 weeks delay in BTC world means a lot and not happy with the situation and with the 20 hour work day lately.
Again remember that with a few exception most of these orders are paid with chips and we take all the costs for production including all this aditional labor for test and exchange . Minesr source are covering all the transport costs for the most of North american orders
Supplier  just delivers us new MCU's, but tons of additional work is on us.
I'm not complaining.
This is part of the business bit it  takes time
