Crazy earner, the email is [email protected] not kraterminer. Thanks for your interest.

John

Then you need to correct the details on the thread then on page 1 of your post.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/krater-miner-official-thread-working-avalon-clone-w-videos-253550

We would like to introduce ourselves and our company, Krater Miner, to the bitcoin community. Our company consists of 3 people who have experience in business, web development, and component level electronics. We are based out of Northeast Ohio.

For over 2 months we have been working behind the scenes, with Carlos (better known on this forum as flyonthewall; he has a condo service that he has been promoting on this forum, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/condo-for-your-avalon-chips-price-drastically-reduced-189976) on an Avalon clone. We now have a working prototype.

On our website, www.kraterminer.com, we have a video showing the prototype in action.

We ordered 10,000 Avalon chips and we are selling 4 module units with those chips. In addition, we have a build your own unit service if you want to send us your chips.

We know you will have plenty of questions for us, so we made a FAQ page on our website that will hopefully answer most of these questions. Even though we are new to this community, we have been working exclusively on these units for the past 2 months. We decided not to make an announcement until we had video proof of our unit working. Also, you can email us at [email protected], or you can call us at (440) 391-9651. Please do not hesitate to call. I will be more than happy to answer any questions, or address any concerns you may have.

Here is a link to our most recent video: http://vimeo.com/69971232

and went to site and now sent and in contact thx Smiley

Here's the Krater Mining anouncement: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/krater-miner-official-thread-working-avalon-clone-w-videos-253550

Please note that Krater Miner is among the first to order 10,000 chips, and Avalon has just recently announced that the first batch of chips will be delivered only about a week from now. The Avalon Batch #3 systems are going to be delivered at around the same time.

So any infos when the website of krater mining will be up?

Should be up soon, may be in a day or two. They will announce it in a new thread, and I will link to it also from here.

Am I reading this correctly that you are waiting for one valid result and then discard all other future potential valid results for that unit of work ?!
You do know that there can be more than one valid result for a given unit of work ?

Have a look here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2680342


Ah, you're testing the limits of my knowledge about mining. I have misunderstood the Bitcoin mining specs. I've always thought that once a good result is found, hashing can stop. I am wrong, so the prototype Avalon clone is working as it should: there is a constant period between work unit messages coming from the Spartan chip. This period must be the max wait time period for all Avalon chips to get done. In a lot of cases, there may be only one good result, and so only one chip gets to pull the report line down. However, since the work unit handoff period is constant, there may be a long gap from the time the one good result is reported to the time that the next work unit is handed to the chips. If none of the chips came up with a good result, then the report line is not pulled down for that work unit. This story is more in line with what the logic analyzer shows in the video.

... If any of the chips find a good result, then it pulls the report line down, and hands the good result to the Spartan chip. All the other chips then "lose" and their work basically discarded.

Thanks for sharing this video.

In your example capture you got a result after about .65 seconds but I don't think that the Avalon chips had finished testing the entire nonce range.
Just because you got a report doesn't mean that the ASIC is done it would be possible to get more reports so it finishes going through the nonce range.
It the miner goes through all the nonce range and doesn't get a report new work is loaded into the ASIC chips.
For 10 chips timing seems about right.
At least that's how I think is works but I could be wrong.


You are right. The ten chips divide the work item among themselves. If the range given in the work item happens to not include the target, then none of the chips would pull the report line down, and the Spartan times out. The timeout seems to be about 1.6 secs in this particular case. If any of the chips find a good result, then it pulls the report line down, and hands the good result to the Spartan chip. All the other chips then "lose" and their work basically discarded. This means that the report line can be pulled down anytime after the work item is distributed among the Avalon chips: there is no fixed time by which the Spartan chip can expect this signal to come, but it can set a maximum wait time.

We actually have two working prototype systems, one in Ohio and another here in Washington. This video has poor quality, but in it I try to show both the CONFIG_P and REPORT_P signals from the chips. This system in Washington has only one hash unit connected to the control unit.

http://youtu.be/L0Hfh9OTmV4


Edit: The are four probes, but on the screen it's showing only the CONFIG_P and REPORT_P signals.

More edit: The information provided here should help those who are designing their own boards.

Thank you.

Here's the video from Krater Mining in Ohio, my collaborators. They are still setting up their website, and will be selling hardware WITHOUT prepay. Their target client is not necessarily those who bought chips. When you place an order and they accept it, they will deliver right away. We work together so if you order and let them know you want hosting, we can host your unit in the condo place I am preparing in Washington state.

http://vimeo.com/69838329

Edit: Note that in this demo the Krater Mining team has two hash units running!

Edit: More precise wording than "without prepay" is that Krater Mining will be accepting orders as soon as their website is up, and the systems will be built as soon as they get their 10,000 chip order from Bitsyncom (Avalon). For any questions, please PM Mike4747. They will also be opening a thread in this forum soon.
