I got nothing. They haven't responded to any emails of mine since a customer I forwarded to them failed to pay a $10K bill on a sale I arranged back around June. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if they just don't like me anymore, but I also don't really like that guy much anymore.

Yes, the A3218 is what the Avalon6 is using. We've known that for about a month. The Avalon6 wiki page was created October 20th. Pictures of its insides and closeups of bare ASICs existed in the wild a couple weeks ago. I and others have made attempts to track down sample chips, both from Canaan-Creative and BlockC, with no luck so far. If you do find a sales link for samples for the A3218, that'll be news worth posting.

not sure what you got from Canaan about getting the A3218s', I got over 4 months out, if they feel like it.

Just gotta wait for the A3218 to roll out. Looks to be active about 12 of November. There is docs on their site for a AUC2, looks to be nano to run them..
http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/hardware/A3218/
Also looks to be what the Avalon6 is using.
but I'm looking into it a little more..

Quick glance at that page showed me nothing newer than the A3222 which was released 15 months ago.

thought i had another link for the new  A3218 18nm chips now i can't find it, my bad.


cya

be it in my link?

hey Side not sure if you saw this yet


https://avalon8.world.taobao.com/  


They won't be cheap, I'm willing to bet and the A6 off Avalon site goes for a Big 3.3 + k USD or 10 btc

the good thing i guess you can buy it lot cheaper else were .


They are selling  the new chips but i didn't figure out the USD  a mount to yen . i think they use yen .



Sorry if this is one of those three month old thing, looks kind of new to me . my bad if it is .

Don't worry i knew form the start you had no interest in SFARDS stuff .  I don't think i ever asked  nor will I Smiley .

It has been addressed, and no I haven't contacted them. Performance is mediocre and the package sucks, same as with SFARDS.

Just throwing this out there to all the people asking me if I've talked to so-and-so about their stuff - stop. Unless it's a newly revealed thing, I've probably already seen it and thought about it and decided whether or not to look into it. Stuff from three or six months ago, I decided about it three or six months ago.

While maybe this has been discussed before, have you (sidehack) tried contacting 21 Inc about their mining chip? Since their device is out atop a Raspberry Pi, it can't be a 100W power sucking monster. It might be BGA, but I thought I would ask.

I haven't heard from PlanetCrypto for a while, hasn't been on for almost a month.. last public message was his poem on here..

I wonder if he had any luck with getting his IP for the bitcoin core going..


I was wondering the other day as well, he  hasn't been around.

How goes batch 2 good sir?

Check post 1 of the official sales thread, it seems to have most relevant info, unless sidehack states the P&P machine went rouge and attempted to place things over the wall..

FIRST ROUND SALES:  470 sticks paid | large queue: 312 (312 shipped) small queue: 158 (158 shipped)
SECOND BATCH QUEUE:  178 sticks paid (0 shipped)
