Any update to this?

Not until avalon ships/ BKK gets his test boards...

The K1 boards are sitting in Bkk now but it will be a couple days before I can get in there to pick them up. I have about 6 packages waiting for me.

In the meantime, I do have the Klondike firmware running in the PIC chip now and it pushes work and manages a work queue up to 4 units. All of the protocol cmds seem to be working fine with my test app. I can send it work, multiple units push after each one is done, abort work, check status, send new config and enable/disable.

I'm working a bit on the temperature / fan control now. That isn't used in the K1 except maybe for thermal shutdown, but it's needed for the K16.

Good to hear, thank you for all of your hard work!

Correct, there are some who have chips and can build them for you and those who can build only if you provide chips.

I am the latter of these. I don't have chips to provide to others, but I offer a build service to those who have the chips. I can provide everything else if needed. bkkcoins is has also talked of providing parts kits (excluding Avalon chips) as well.

If you provide only the Avalon chips, I can build the K1 USB miner for you for 0.3 BTC.

If you provide the Avalon chips and the remaining parts from a bkkcoins parts kit, I will assemble the K1 USB miner for you for 0.1 BTC.

I'll definitely want to make use of this service.

Maybe when it no longer pays the electricity it uses you can buy it a battery and solar panel, maybe even a little windmill and see if it can pay for those... Wink

Heck maybe it will turn out it will pay for those and a garden gnome or two before it actually dies!

To clarify, I'm going to sell COMPLETED units to people when I get them made. I have ordered 592 chips in a group buy and am using them to buy and sell completed, ready to use, boards.

If they are anywhere around the $50 / 0.5BTC mark, I predict your entire batch of 592 chips will be gone in seconds.

Which is exactly why the price needs to be higher.

Let's see what the difficulty is when these are available. I think that'll influence the price a bit.

Very true!. I would be happy to buy one even if it only returned me my initial investment and a little on top just for the chance to dabble with mining.

Hi, I'm watching a lot of lists right now, I missed if Noitev mentioned what country they are shipping from.
I have it posted at the quoted 282 MH, but ASICminer is getting 336 from theirs...
and while we're at it has anyone quoted wattage for the K1 yet?
Check out my chart and check my work on the spreadsheet

I hope to take you up on this for at least a few - I'll hopefully have some extra chips after my 16 chip boards are assembled...

Any updates?

Maybe we should organize a group buy for avalon chips here and send them to Klondike?

Latest status - waiting for K1 test boards to arrive. They were shipped on May 30th. so should be here in a few days. I'm setting up a prototype board to test firmware while waiting for the K1s. Until today I was waiting on PIC chips to come in. Some of the firmware code has been tested and scoped by choaztc and is working but even if I get fully functional firmware I'm still going to be waiting on Avalon samples to test/verify against, and those appear to be a couple-few weeks out.

I don't have spare Avalon chips ordered to make K1 sales with. I know of a few forum members who have chips and are waiting on final boards to produce a ready-to-use product, either on their own or with me providing boards or assembly (K1 only). So I think by the time chips begin arriving there will be options for those who want a plug n play K1 experience. At some point, when more certainty is available, pre-orders will be opened and jumping on that will be best bet for early on product.
