The firmware that will be installed is the firmware that bkkcoins the developer of these open source boards is creating.

More information can be found here http://github.com/bkkcoins/klondike .

So is that something my computer can/will send to the board(s) across the USB?

Or something I would need special cabling/kit in order to install it myself?

This seems a little confusing:

Does it ("Assembly: Includes ASICs, PCB based on the Klondike design, and necessary PCB components.") come with the PIC chip programed ?

Yes, the PIC chip will be programmed.

in the context of the OP saying

Quote

Fully assembled unit: Includes assembly of one Klondike K16 ASIC board and all DIY kit parts fully assembled.

Testing: Includes one fully assembled Klondike K16, firmware pre-installation, and stability testing.

Basically it makes me wonder what the firmware is that the Testing option will pre-install? Is there some firmware involved in these boards other than the programming of the PIC? Do we need some kind of firmware-programming kit or something to put firmware into something ourselves if you don't pre-install it? I just don't understand exactly what is involved, not even whether I would be able to make use of boards that do not have "firmware pre-installation" done on them by someone else (maybe someone who has special cables and such used to program bitstreams or something)?

So it is 2.45BTC for one Klondike 16 chip with everything needed not including shipping?

The price for one Fully assembled Klondike 16 with everything minus the power supply included is $133.50, to be paid in BTC. This does not include shipping.

Ok thanks, I added the price of chips. This looks a lot more affordable now. Is it possible to get a table with estimated shipping prices for completed boards? Thanks.

Is the KW/h cost for hosting known already?

Looking to order 16 chips, do I need to sign a message with the BTC payment or do I sign a message later? Or for the original purchase do I only need to send the BTC?

as per the purchasing FAQ:

I would assume programmed PIC would fall under "necessary PCB components"

Hey steamboat, I would like clarifications on how many chips per fully assembled unit. Can 64 chips be put in one unit or 4 units? How many boards per fully assembled unit?

The OP has been modified for clarity.

Each unit contains one Klondike K16 board, with a 16 chip capacity. Cases utilizing more than one unit are in the design and testing stages, and will be available when finalized.

I replied to your email for assembly but I also want the DIY kit that includes the heat sink.
Thanks!

I would like to ask, what is the difference between Fully Assembled and Assembled? I believe that Assembly will not include the mounting of the chips, but I might be wrong. Please correct me if I am.

Assembly: Includes ASICs, PCB based on the Klondike design, and necessary PCB components.

Full kit: Includes fully assembled ASIC board and a DIY kit including heat sink, standoffs, fan, screws, thermal paste, and USB cable.

Fully assembled unit: Includes ASIC board and DIY kit fully assembled to miner.

I hope this answers your question.

Steamboat

Ah yes I think I understand it now. I guess I didnt read it clearly enough. Embarrassed

so the heatsink is not mounted?
