I'm kinda waiting on interest and prices for K1/Nano, I'll probly buy 4-10 chips when it comes to it.

I asked several assembly companies. Finally I got one cheap and realible offer for manual assembly: ~ 110 USD, 10 days. This is for very small amount of boards, asked them to assembly 2 PCBs. When we order 100+ the price can go lower.

The companies I asked can only assembly the boards manually, because of the really small packaging of the components (0402 capacitors and thermistors).


1x K16 miner price would be:

16x Avalon chips: ~ 151 USD (based on 16 x 0.086 BTC x 110 USD)
1x K16 board: ~ 9 USD (based on current https://github.com/bkkcoins/klondike/blob/master/docs/K16%20Parts%20List.pdf)
K16 parts: ~ 33.74 USD
Manual assembly: 110 USD

Summary: ~ 303.74 USD
4.5 GH / sec hashing power for this price.

Please note: this is for ONE board assembly with 16x chips without delivery costs for EU.



So I'm interested in buying some chips, but I have some pretty easy questions that need answered if you guys could help!

So I buy these chips for 0.086 BTC each.  I should buy them in 16's if I'd like to get a full board full.  Than the buy the K16 board, K16 parts.  The Manual assembly, why is there a price?  It's me putting it together.  right?

You're right, 1x chip for KNano, 16x chips for K16, 64x for K64. If you have the knowledge, tools and nerve to assembly yourself, you can do it. But remember, ONE false soldering and you can wreck your board completely.

I'm not risking my chips and boards to assembly myself, however I could do it.

Where in FL will these be shipped FROM? Can I just come pick it up when it arrives instead of paying the extra shipping?

Watching this thread...really interested but want to hear more about the board designs/final cost for assembled board.

Quick update:

Things are progressing on this end. Multiple pricing requests for US assembly of BkkCoins' design have been sent, quotes coming in daily.The Avalon design is being validated for cloning as information is posted from them. The thread will be updated, and more complete information will be posted later tonight.   

Did you narrow which Klondike design you'll be going with? I know you mentioned that wouldn't be doing the USB miner.

Thanks, I'm involved in that thread but I'm more interested in what steamboat has planned.

"I am in the process of speaking with US based manufacturers to build and assemble miners based off open source designs. Pricing will be available closer to the ship date, and will depend on the amount of chips/boards built. I will keep this thread updated with developments as they occur. This is by no means finalized. While likely a solution will be developed prior to chip delivery, and I am making every effort to do so, I do not guarantee anything."

Any updates to this FAQ?  Seems like there are lots of groups preparing assembly plans but all based on only a few designs.

Very Expensive -- what is the Warranty Period?

Whats expensive? Assemblying one board? Bet noone does 1 board cheaper.  Wink

i hope we can make assembly as cheap as possible, steamboat, maybe we should soon start a groupbuy for the components like psu's + cases and an estimated cost on how much the assembled boards will cost + labor included.  I recommend that we do it cheap only for the fact that a month or two down the line there may be other competitors that could rival the price.

I missed the boat on the first two batches waiting for money to transfer.  What happens now if batch three doesn't take off?  If I order 64 chips and it doesn't fill up will I just get a refund?  Or will there be enough surplus in another batch to cover the orders on this one?  Is there a time limit for this batch to close?

I'm just trying to understand the risks of tying up coins in this transaction.
Thanks,

-Jay

In the event Batch three is not ordered, a refund will be issued. Batch one and two chips are accounted for. If this changes, there may be a possibility of purchasing chips from batch one or two. There currently is no time limit, though this may change.
