Technobit.eu Check them out

Dont like their price for shipping. much too much.

What about that?

Don't worry about paying for shipping @technobit they still haven't shipped mine after 3 months.

stick them in the auction section or post them to me ( i'll pay 0.02 btc to cover the postage snail mail )

I may just build a couple of k16's for fun.

Well, they shipped my order about 10 days late. They're okay I guess (to me that is)

Im not going to waste them. Im going to figure something to do with them. even if their hashing power is worthless when i get to it, it is still just for the fun of the project.

I just sent this message to a couple of my customers, and I'm posting it here as well:

Well, it looks like Colin is backing out of the project. He's going to be shipping me the miners he has managed to complete, along with the components. I plan on sending everyone their chips and the miners that were made with their chips, along with the components and circuit boards that *would* have gone into their miners.

I'm very frustrated and tired right now, and I don't imagine you're feeling any better about this news than I am. I'll be refunding the assembly cost of your order, along with my margin, as soon as Colin sends me the funds I need to do so. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything more I can do to make this right by you.

Sorry to be delivering such crappy news.

Ryan

As it says above, please let me know if you have any questions. Sorry this has turned out so poorly for everyone.

I pretty sure you can get a FPGA board and solder them onto the board. BUT I don't know if you have soldering skills, Otherwise, Its a waste of time.

Hahaha soldering skills. Im a full time welder.

Then you can do it! haha, Do you have a FPGA board?

lol not yet ill get one in the future when i get my 3 months off.

lol, So what now, You going to sell them? It seems like a waste of good chips to eat.... Sad

What would you say that chips are worth alone?

The A3256 Avalon variant is 282MHs per chip, so 80 of those is actually only 22GHs. I thought these were the A3255 which are 1.2-1.6GHs each. The chips you have sell for about $30 USD for batches of 80.

hahahah not even worth my time. thats why they were free.

Actually, I may be incorrect there; I'm finding conflicting prices. They may be worth more than that. I woudl recommend you do your own pricing research, so I don't accidentally lead you astray.

The hash rate is so low, though, that I'm not certain they're worth mounting either way. When you can pick up 2.7GHs chips for $5 (Bitfury is shipping again in Feb), I'm not sure you'll get more than $0.30 - $0.50 per chip.

Anyway, if you choose to build it, do the math on the cost of having the chips assembled first. If you're gonna sell them, I'd be willing to pick them up as a novelty, and it sounds like southerngentuk is interested as well.

avalon
a3256-q48

What does this mean? A guy gave me them when i bought his miner at a garage sale.

The guy gave you between 80 and 120GHs in raw chips. You'll need to find a board to support them, and someone to asemble them. Alternatively, you can sell the chip, although they're not worth a ton. With the miner you purchased from him... did you check to make sure the chips were populated?

The aliexpress link looks pretty sketchy to me.

I buy from the site all the time. If your order does not come you get your money back so im not too worried about that. The miner a bought is a 120 GH/s avalon and its working fine.
