Have you considered listing on bitfunder for those who purchased hosted solution? It will be easier for you to manage payment and also much more flexible for the buyer to transfer ownership.

A good example: https://bitfunder.com/asset/SNQ.CoinI

Please consider! Thanks

I would strongly recommend against it. If you need to transfer funds to or from Bitfunder you are currently forced to use WeExchange. I am currently having problems accessing my WeExchange account. They don't answer emails or respond to forum PMs. No support at all.

Case work update:
- Power distribution and control PCB expected to be completed by early next week. Will support both Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black.
- Mechanical design is essentially complete, just need to complete part drawings and fire off to Steamboat

Still no price estimate, as this will depend on the quantity of parts ordered.

Changes since last design:
- 15 K16s per enclosure necessitated by a space added for an ATX PSU
- Ethernet connector added which will allow direct connection to the Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black for standalone operation
- Power distribution and control PCB will have both Molex and terminal strip connections for power

Case design could easily be adapted to support other PCBs (i.e. Bitburners)

Mini update:

We have a new addition to the DIY kit. Anyone who purchases more than one unit will also receive this.

This is just awesome. I was expecting some pretty generic looking parts, but everything about these kits is going to look badass.

There are 8 ports, all of which seem to be able to provide the amperage needed to power the rpi. It also uses a motherboard header on the rear to connect to the host machine, so you will need one of these: (EU) http://www.amazon.co.uk/v2-0-Male-Motherboard-Header-Connector/dp/B000QC7NKM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_3 (US) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V6WD8A/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm going to have 4 chains of 4 klondikes, so 4 ports total for the klondikes. the rear usb pin header will connect via the adapter to the raspberry pi's usb port, and finally it will itself draw power from the hub via one of the ports, totaling 5 ports of the 8 available. I planned on keeping the other 3 ports available for general use...thumbdrives, wifi adapters, etc.

Ahh, if only this hub wasn't $75!!

No adapters required anywhere, and you'd just have to use a MOLEX extension with the connector cut off to power it.

I am very interested in how this works and the convenience of it. Ill be using 16x klondikes myself and feel it would be very necessary that I should go ahead and get these as well.
I must admit I don't know what Rpi is; googled it and still don't understand the rockwell protocol interface clearly.

"rpi" is shorthand for "raspberry pi". It's a very tiny linux system that can be had for under $50. They are very handy for hosting mining hardware because they use very little power and space, and they are very cheap.

How exactly does it work if you don't mind explaining the way you will be doing it in more detail? (i.e. are you saying you will have 6 of these 8-port USB hubs and plug 4x klondikes into each one of these 8-port USB hubs? meaning you have a total of 24 klondikes? I may be way off by further asking why not have all ports used for each 8-port USB hub you have instead of 4of8 occupied for each hub?) Keep in mind I obviously may have no idea what I'm asking, I'm just very curious that you have brought it up and I feel I should need to get these as well. Grin

The K16's can be chained together. No one knows what the true practical limit is yet on the length of that chain, but based on what the developer has said the theoretical limit is quite high. You should be able to chain *at least* four of them together. This would mean that with a single 8 port hub, you could host 32 of them in that configuration.

Rpi is a raspberry pi -- it's a tiny computer that uses only 5 watts to run.

I'll repost this here from the klondike thread, in-case some of you can benefit from it:

For those of you looking to control a bunch of Klondikes, I went ahead and picked one of these up for testing (specifically to see if it would power the Rpi) and its worked beautifully.

I plan on running 6 chains of 4x klondikes, one port to power the rpi, and one port for the rpi. Being able to power the hub off the PSU just keeps it all in one package.

Hi all,

I know this is a long shot but if anyone out there with chip purchases in batches 1-5 has decided for any reason that they want to sell them, I'd be happy to purchase them from you. I'm looking for an additional 560 chips (I've already got 260 chips I've bought myself). I'm happy to go through escrow if that's what you want.

PLEASE DON'T REPLY TO THIS ON THE FORUM... SEND ME A PM and we'll work the details out. I don't want to clutter the board up, and I know this is a bit cheeky so I'm only going to ask this once

And before anyone says anything, Yes, I've already contacted steamboat about this...

Cheers

According to the batch order, 3000 sets of components will be pretty much good until batch 4 or 5. I am sure Steamboat has demonstrated to everybody here that he can plan quite well, MUCH better than Avalon. So, it is quite unlikely that Batch 5 or 6 will be here before Steamboat has new components on hand to make more miners.

Avalon is running 2-3 weeks behind schedule. I doubt anybody is surprised by that. Steamboat is running 10-12 weeks AHEAD of schedule with parts ordering. I'm sure that's NOT cheap, by the way. Let's give some credit where credit is due.

Batch 1: Order #10177, Purchase date May 1,2013. Expected delivery date early July
Batch 2: Order #10265, Purchase date May 11,2013. Expected delivery date mid July
Batch 3: Order #10325, Purchase date May 22,2013. Expected delivery date mid/late July.
Batch 4: Order #10425, Purchase date May 28,2013. Expected delivery date late July, early August.
Batch 5: Order #10553, Purchase date June 5. Expected delivery date early/mid August.
Batch 6: Order #11253, Purchase date July 6. Expected delivery date mid September.
