Steamboat I have 40 chips from you from batch 2 - if I'm looking to get a K64 done is it best I order another 24 from current batch or will you sell 24 to round up during production?

I will only round up/down in multiples of 16. This is to prevent abuse, and limit the amount of chips spent from my personal purchase. I have a feeling even this is going to be abused, as some are ordering two or three chips more than a full board.


Do you have an idea of the cost for 'hosted' chips and/or boards? Do you also assemble the boards? Being in S. Florida along with you, I feel you are my best connection for this (instead of another country for sure!).


ditto, I myself am in deerfield beach.
Yes, I will be offering assembly services. The details are not quite yet ready for release. I'm waiting on a few pieces to fall where I want them before I let you guys know how it will work.

The cost for the boards is the same as it is for assembly of shipped miners. The hosting will be based on a percentage of the revenue generated from the chip. The number is looking like 8%, plus electricity. This is not etched in stone as I still have to do the math, but I believe it's low enough to give miners a respectable ROI target, and still cover the expenses associated with setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, overhead, etc etc.



I'm thinking this too,Port Saint Lucie here Cheesy

Can we pick up chips/PCB's in person  ??


All these Floridians. Yes, pickup is available during normal business hours.

Thanks for the update, steamboat!

Any boards scheduled for hosting will have final assembly, firmware installation, and cluster integration within 48 hours of receipt from the assembly house.


Not sure what you mean here - are you planning on offering a hosting service?

That is correct. I will be offering hosting services in addition to chip purchase and finished boards.

Yes of course. I will not wait to ship the chips for those that choose that option. If any orders placed before yours opt for assembly, your raw chip order will move forward in the shipping cue.

So what I hear you saying is this:

Chips-only orders will be shipped first, based on order queue
Assembled chips w/PBC orders will be assembled and shipped second, based on order queue
Hosted chips will be assembled and hosted within 48 hours, regardless of queue position

Just clarifying for those who will determine what they do based on the order of priority.

That is correct.

The raw chips will be on the way to their final destination first as they only need repackaging. If you are chip #10,000 and everyone ahead of you chooses assembly, you will ship first.

Miner shipping and hosting will be occurring simultaneously, as the chips arrive from the assembly house, and will be based on the batch cue.

steamboat - when you say "sending address" in the OP, are you referring to your payment address for this batch?  (1JWBFSmxeAMxK8W2GdpBPMKgc3z71yVkFa)

Apologies if this seems obvious - haven't heard of it referred to in such away before.

EDIT: Ah - believe I see it now.  The corresponding address shown in the left column when you look up a transaction ID on blockchain.info
Was confused as I couldn't find it in the bitcoin-qt client

Nice cheap assembly quote in WA.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2186069



Yes I noticed that. A very good price indeed, though still a bit higher than what I'm looking for. I have received a quote today that just may fit the bill, and two more are scheduled for Monday. I am in the process of verifying the quotes now.

Purchases received, recorded, and replied.

It's looking like Monday/Tuesday I will have the prices nailed down for finished assembly of the boards and chips, along with fans and power supplies. Standoffs and heatsinks are on deck to be worked on.

I am waiting on a quote from them once they look over the files. They were one of the less expensive solutions, though I am not sure if they are equipped to handle parts this small.

Just in case you missed it, BKK is talking about component changes to deal with the ASIC signalling.

Yes, thank you. The companies contacted are aware we are still in the testing phase and the design may change.

How will orders be prioritized now that 3 fulfillment options are available?

You mentioned shipping priority based on order time/date... does this carry over to other fulfillment options, i.e. hosing or unit assembly. For example, if John placed the first order in batch 1 but chooses to have his chips assembled into a unit with K16, will the next in line (from an order perspective) be shipped their chips prior to John's board being shipped?

Yes of course. I will not wait to ship the chips for those that choose that option. If any orders placed before yours opt for assembly, your raw chip order will move forward in the shipping cue.

Maybe I should do a quick through-hole version  Tongue
(actually that would be cool for DIYers - only use SMT for chips …)

4pcb does do quality work, I love that they're "local"

I'm looking forward to reviewing their submission.

Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone started a thread/discussion about cases/power supplies?

I ran across these two items tonight and I am intrigued:

Cooler Master min-ITX case (ATX power supply compatible)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119261

Corsair CX430M Modular Bronze certified 430W PSU

I am going for two x16 boards so there should be plenty of room for expansion in here and it looks like it has great airflow. I am working on getting an rPi set up now and it should mount nicely in this. Speaking of, the GPIO on the rPi leads to some interesting thermal management possibilities. I'm thinking of making an ATX breakout to drive power to the rPi over USB and interface with the power/reset switch on the case.

Sorry for the thread jack lol

The power supply looks good.
