Come on guys, post your feedbacks, there are people waiting to preorder .

I'm very interested in this. What is the shipping cost to Thailand?
Thanks.
Thanks.
about 20$

Looks like a really nice board. Looking forward to the pre-order for the 2nd batch.

2nd batch's manufacture has been finish today, i will test them in the after week. after first batch's response posted on the forum, 2nd batch pre-order will start.
coming soon.
coming soon.
Interested in getting in on the second batch. Are you doing a larger run this time around?
There currently are 30 boards (see a few posts above).
Correct. He also said 'no pre orders' until he has the units built and tested.

I am interested in purchasing one from your second batch if you would like to start the preorder or reservation process.

I assume you can't test all 30 at the same time, so testing like 10 at a time with shipping thereafter seems viable.
Is the content of the gift package which was included in the first batch available for sale, too? How much would it cost?

maybe there will be a lower price and the mining kit and dev kit will sell separately.

Is there already an estimate date for shipping of the second batch?
not yet, but i can tell you a dead line. i will start the 2nd batch ship in 2weeks.
i'm testing them, there are 30 of them ... really need a lot of time.
or
i should first test 10 of them and start the ship, then another 10 next week, and so on?

Ok, I just wanted to make sure that you're really working on this, not just a joke
it's not a joke. but the feasibility check will take 2-3 month, and the prototype will take another 2-3 month.
i hope it will come out in 2012.
This is what BFL should have done...
yep, you are right.
but the substantive difference between i and BFL is i never accept paid pre-order and i will not announce a exact SPEC until i really have them done.
so, just let me go.

network conditions is deadly important for the real world mining speed. by my test, a 300-500ms ping speed to deepbit.net will generate a 330MH/s real-world hashing power.
My deepbit-ping is 25ms and I get now peaks of 426 at my avg 10 minute hashingrate and overall avg 350 Mhash/s

there must be somthing wrong with the power consume. Icarus never uses more than 21 watt, less than 20 is a typical. and the idle state consuming 2-4w typ.
i uses a 1% grade meter for the test, my be one of the meter is not dependable?

You are right, I have installed a more accurate power monitoring system from Greenwave and Icarus uses 21 watt, idle state 5 watt.

and, please, please keep this thread to Icarus. the 1.5G rig is really really at a plan now, the SPEC./ speed/ price ....
and so on is not tested in real world and not decided yet, i will not announce it officially until i have at lest 5 of them for mining 1 month +,
i don't want to be called as scamers.
the development just started and looks like at least will take half year or even longer time to finish, it's a very hard and complex design, really. so please don't ask any time table or something details like that.

Nice! Can't wait for that
But I'm also wondering if you have a timeline set for an even more powerful board? December 19, 2011, 08:18:28 PM
December 19, 2011, 06:55:30 PM
Good news. Looks like a high quality product. What size are the fans ? 40mm ?

I received the Icarus package today from ngzhang
Shipping to Europe took 9 days.
It was well packed and complete as promissed.
The package contained also a USB stick with all software needed for mining, experimenting and dev.
Within 10 minutes my Icarus dual fpga board was online and mining at Coinotron.
During mining the device uses26 watt 21 watt and the short breaks in between blocks 5 watt.
The hashrate at Coinotron moves between 200 and 400 Mhs/s, but now the pool is down so I think it's a pool problem.

deepbit:
My first thoughts after mining for one hour are that ngzhang made a great fpga board with a lot of potential.
One point of criticism, the tiny cooling fans make noise.
(Only the first hours of operation the fans made noise) I think it's now 10-15 db, a normal pc makes more noise.
Thanks Zhang for your hard work and I will be the first to buy the 1.5 Ghash fpga from you, with 10% discount

Did the government take the boards or why does no one post a review ? Seems to be a very promising product !
