Interesting that some are shipping at 350 and some at stock. I guess I'll need to get a pickit3 afterall. :/
Not sure I follow... You set the clock frequency via cgminer options. You don't need to flash the firmware for this.

Steamboat, great news about the progress and the website! Is there any info about the hosting options that some of us paid for?
"Much, much more. 100+ USD just for one bare PCB to be made" Not so sure about this. I can get 10 PCBs for $99 from http://imall.iteadstudio.com/open-pcb/pcb-prototyping/im120418009.html (yes, I've used them a lot, they make nice boards).
It cost me 450€ to make 10 PCBs here (it's 4 layer btw with 0.5mm pitch components), so one board in this quantity is around 60USD locally. Doing for example one or two PCBs would be even more expensive, so that's the figure I based that on. And doing more than a few by hand is really not a good idea, as you can read in How to build.
But I can ofc change that, just tell me what figure would be adequate.
I would just call it very difficult, price varies so much all over the world it is a hard thing to be absolute about.
Thanks Steamboat, I'm Rocking now 
Nice packing
Sweet!
Oh Yeah!

Yes 350 is stable 
I'll be cranking em up as soon as I figure how to get CGminer working a bit better on my PC,I'm such a noob to compiling & stuff 
Great site Steamboat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Steamboat!
Job well done! Congrats!
I just requested my 8 Klondike's to be shipped without USB bootloader, anyone recommend a good cheap pickit3 ? Also how fast will these hash with the current firmware? Is 350 stable?
There's only one pickit3 -- just buy it from microchip, newark, ebay, etc.

Great looking website. It's great that those who still wanted miners will get them. Looks like you did a nice job. It's nice to see this project I've followed for so many months come to completion. I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed to not be getting a miner, but it just didn't make sense for me to keep waiting.
I believe you originally stated a batch of miners could be assembled and shipped in 3 days. Since there were two batches, I assume you've now had time to at least manufacture and assemble all the miners. You've even done a nice website. Very cool.
So, Any idea when you will be issuing hardware assembly refunds?
Since you are offering miners for sale on your website for $95.00, I'd expect to get that amount refunded for each of my miners. Plus shipping of course.
Now 'bout those refunds now, pretty please?
Nice job. Love the gallery especially the smoked hardware. Most of all I really appreciate whoever took the time to write the troubleshooting page. There's a level of detail there that is superb.

Anyone know what it took to blow the regulator?
I'm contemplating piggybacking a 12A 1.2v regulator onto the boards for additional power once I get them depending on what I can get the OC to with stock regulator.

I've paid for a k16 full assembly and freight (order 199). During the silence I bailed and got a chip refund.
If I purchase 16 chips off another GB member can you confirm you will complete/ship my K16 to me?
I'd expect this would be easier for you to a) use otherwise unwanted chips b) complete a miner c) avoid having to refund assembly/freight etc.
Let me know
Thanks

Guys, any of you running Klondikes, you can drop pictures of them to [email protected]. We will add them to the gallery.
Very nice site, Steamboat!
One question: since the original Klondike thread has been full of worried messages about BkkCoin's well being, I am hoping that your mentioning him at this site means everything's okay with Chris? Nobody's been able to reach him in weeks... Hope he's in good health!
Impressive web site SB -- I'm glad you all stuck through all this to see the finished product complete. Hopefully all this work can serve as a foundation for a profitable/successful future venture.
Mine arrived on Saturday but I was out of town. Picked them up today and they are mining now. Windows cgminer doesn't yet support klondike, FYI. I compiled from the git source by following some directions, I have no idea what I typed but they are mining at about 5.5gh/s each. You might want to cut the pci-e latch prior to plugging them in or else risk damaging a capacitor placed too close to the plug. I took some unboxing pics earlier today, I'll post tomorrow if I have time.
These were very well packed and the presentation/build of the units is very professional. If it were under better circumstances, I would be elated. It's sort of bitter-sweet now.

That's great to hear.
Not sure how many you bought, but you can always sell the extra ones you don't want on ebay. People are crazy over paying for miners and bidding goes much higher than the units will mine, so it's always a way to limit the ROI loss. Prices now are seem to be around $250 per 10Gh/s block erupter blade. With that a K16 should fetch around $125 which is about what the assembly cost.
Just a thought.
i see people getting their miners, i was batch#1 .. and i didnt got refund .. or any tracking number ... 
What was your assembly order number? Mine was 136 I think.
