They are worth more than $250 where can you get a 400ghs miner for $250.

they are not?when we take an offer for chips,they worth 500$ at technobit,now they are 250$..they are not worthless but they are becoming fast :/

omg,is it possible they are so worthless???this is becoming a nightmare..

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.

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.

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.

That was the compensation x1 psu and the shipping on the 2 x1's I ordered

Is that a X1/X3 specific psu?

I did, got a store credit and got a psu from them, they shipped it straight away can't say any thing bad about them at all

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 . 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.

Well it went straight thru customs not even has customs declaration, first time ever loved living in europe .

Have to report been running now since Wednesday and not  missed a beat i'm loving this board, suck eggs BA with your faulty X series crap

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.

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

Finally! My Technobit order says "Payment accepted"..  Thanks to all that help get this done.

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....

Very small percentage are failing.
We have more common bad soldered chips, that are removed, re-balled and soldered again on specialized repair station

Thx for the headsup Marto,

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

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
