Topic: Klondike - 16 chip ASIC Open Source Board - Preliminary - page 59. (Read 435369 times)

I had turned it on briefly for a customer to test but it didn't go well. Have turned it off again. I want to get it sorted out but for the mean time if not too many bombard me I can probably enter orders manually and send a PP invoice.

Ya, this OpenBitcoinStore thing isn't working well for me. It doesn't have SSL support, and as you saw it seems the shared IP is going to cause issues with site conflicts. So I'm going to have to move everything to my own server for SSL to work. Could also be related to why paypal doesn't work - maybe it needs to talk to an SSL page to hand off the details etc. They claimed it was a one-click deploy but it's been kind of useless as I've spent considerable hours trying to get things arranged and functioning in a way that ANY web store would need. I should have just started on my own server to begin with but I thought this sounded like a quick way to get it up for people. No such luck.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the patience. It'll get worked out.

(SSL certs no problem - have used StartSSL before and done all this before manually via SSH - oh, when point and click is harder than bash!)

Hi BkkCoins, great work so far!  

Just a FYI.

Burnin stated that the error rate for the stable test results posted earlier was lower then 0.01% and the 450mhz test had an error rate of 0.1%.

YES YES YES YES YES YES!!! Can I have mine autographed? :-)

First things first - I just managed to place an order! :-)
(and somehow 144 people already ordered before me!?!)

Aside from that - when I tried paying via paypal I got:

so the PayPal stuff didn't work. I ended up paying via BTC.

I tried making the url HTTPS but then some other web site showed up at your address. Not to mention that I had to add a security exception since the certificate didn't match.
In case you are not interested in wasting a lot of money on HTTPS certificates - check this site for a free one:

I think we would love it.  And maybe fully assembled from you.   A person we can trust goes a long ways.

Yes, want that

I want to do that, and with an assembly guide. The problem is sourcing parts. I'd have to take pre-orders and then use that to do a big order, but at this time some items are completely sold out. I feel uneasy taking money not knowing if I can actually deliver kits for who know show long.

But I do like the idea and would like to offer that. I guess in the end, if I can't get parts then neither can my customers on their own, most likely, so they don't really lose out. How does everyone feel about that? Pre-sell kits and then see where the chips fall?

Thanks for setting this up. Is there any chance you could put together an option for a K1 or K16 board with parts. I am guessing that there will be a lot of people interested in something like that as it would bring down the total cost.

I may do a very limited run of K1s but I won't be selling assembled K16s. Due to my workload they may be a bit later than others anyway. But hey, I can autograph them. 

I'm debating how many and at what point I can add it to the offering. I have PICs on the way now, but many other parts I'd have to buy according to how many are ordered. I don't have the deep pockets to just stock up on a few thousand sets of parts speculating on how many will sell.

Are you going to eventually sell complete boards ready to go with ASICs as well?

Congratulations Bkk, great news about the over night testing 

Store sounds cool too

Hey! Everyone the Klondike Store is open for orders!

Don't slam me too hard - this is just a first take and I'll be moving it to my own server soon so that I can improve it more. But I needed to get this up and going so I can get back to work.

At this time I had to disable Paypal due to their IPN integration having some problem with editing settings. Support contacted but you know how good PP support is.

So far just a small selection of DIY items: bare boards, stencils, programmed PICs and related supplies for your convenience. I'm offering Free Registered Air Mail shipping on orders over $50.

I expect mostly people will be wanting a few boards so I'll be holding items until boards arrive and ship together. My current ETA on K16 Final Beta boards is July 31st. If you order some items I can ship sooner then I will, but may still take a few days as I scramble to get stock on hand. I'll be adding more parts and kits as soon as I can get some on hand.

There is an area for licenses - both End User and Vendors. I hope you'll visit there and "Go Legit". Choosing "Bitcoin - Re-Usable Address" during checkout provides you with a permanent address you can use for "burn in" mining. However, if no payment arrives on the address within an hour it reverts to the pool due to how that plugin functions.

Thanks for taking a look and I welcome feedback. Instead of cluttering up here too much send it to [email protected]. That way I test my email too.  

Give me a chance and I'll do my best to serve you well.

BTW On the testing front - ran overnight, very stable with very low errors at 340 MHz.

104/(104+17286) = 0.6%

That is excellent - less than 1s of latency on an abort will be fine, the issue is with (eg the Batch 1 Avalons) that take 8-10s to abort.

PMed

The Web Store is ready. I need someone who wants to do a small trial Paypal order, whether real or pretend (refund after), just to confirm it's going to fly (already did sandbox test). Preferably someone who doesn't mind spending a few minutes communicating via PM and that I've dealt with a bit already. Please PM.

edit: Thanks. Have had several offers to help now. Will see how it goes.

Ech..
Dream of a good thing 

Great work as always everyone   

Is there a thread or site to monitor Avalon bulk chip distribution?

I saw that. If it's in China then I guess that means others outside China shouldn't be too far off. Unless some deals have been made to allow the Chinese first priority 

350 MHz stable
wit about 340-360 Mh/s per chip with good air cooling
Terahash k64 is with 64 chips so You'll get about 21 GH/s

It looks like some people are getting chips, though it wasn't clear:

To overclock up to 450mh/s you would need liquid cooling and a USB 3 hub.
