Right now pre-ordered K16s are going for $850-$1000. When you have the board in hand, it will most likely sell for $2500-$4000.

Lets be fair, Terrahash has absolutely no control over Avalon shipping. That would be like saying to contact BFL to get them to ship on time.

That said, it would be much more reassuring if they found the time to answer tickets if that is their chosen method now vs. email. I didn't realize the number of people that have gone unanswered. We don't want them distracted, but I believe people here have volunteered to assist them, and that would allow them to weed out the redundant questions on shipping chips and such and leave them with the issues that need action on their part such as status changes.

Considering it's a ticket system, it should be easy to designate additional people to help review.

I have been looking at the dates TH has given us. the math doesn't make sense.

original: mid July to early Aug
    if TH orders the chips on the 10th of may 9 to 10 weeks (Avalon ship time - from Avalon) would be the 19th to 26th of July. 2 weeks after that would be  the 2nd to the 9th of Aug. how can it be mid July?

FAQ now: late July
    see what i just said

blog post made July 5: Aug 15
    this makes sense but Avalon is not shipping in 9 - 10 weeks it is more like 95 days (see old posts) so the estimated dates would be the first week of September.

am i missing something?


also @terrahash are you doing anything to get Avalon to ship on time?

yeah but since the terrahash one doesnt have a fancy case a cable and almost nobody know about them , maybe the price will not be that high , well i might mine when ill have it in hand if they sell for 1k+ for sure.. Lol

search ebay for jalapeno in hand, not preorder.  those are about the same hashing power and currently are being bid on at crazy high prices

how much do you think a single  K-16  4.5go in the 600 order numbers range would sell for when it arrive ?

Great news. terrahash's 1st batch chips should arrive in 2 weeks. (i guess avalon is shipping based on the 94 days from order date).

Zefir batch 1 has been delivered!!!

Seconded on the tickets.

Also, if you can find out the dimensions of the heatsinks that we will get, I'm sure that will help a few of us decide how to put it all together 

Got my refund through PayPal dispute.

+1. Still trying to get my shipping address updated, and can't get a response. I really don't want to open a Paypal dispute over the whole thing...I just want my order. 

Yeah same situation. Been emailing for weeks now with no response and no one ever answers the phone. Kinda just assuming they actually check more than the status before anything ships out? (Hopefully)

On someone's next visit, can they please ask about order status updates on their website and what they plan on doing with answering tickets more regularly as it appears they go unanswered for most?

I've sent a couple tickets in, on my status still showing as "Refunded" when it was not (obviously due to cancelled paypal chargeback) and would like to have that updated. I think another person posted the same issue, but it was resolved. I thought I read some other related issues with bank transfers, but those may have been resolved.

Obviously not a critical issue, but since I'm not getting a response, was hoping to see if someone there could resolve face to face. My travel schedule doesn't take me out West for a few months.

Will donate to those that made visits once I'm mining with the DX Large. Thanks!

Are you sure that the 2" standoffs between boards are going to be long enough? Does anyone know the dimensions of a K16 board with the heatsink attached?

Thanks for breaking it down for some of us lol

Since we are quickly approaching the delivery date of our orders, I thought I'd let you guys in on where I'm purchasing needed supplies to complete my 30+ board K16 miner. I'm not sure if we can daisy chain more than 20, but I'm going to try. If not, I'll use a second PC. There are a lot of people selling these same parts at premium prices on eBay and I want to make sure everyone is getting the best deal possible.

I'm thinking of running the miner with a Raspi. The entire system (including PSU, Raspi, and fans) will fit inside this cabinet. If there is a 20 board daisy chain limit, I'll still place them all in this cabinet. Then I'll add a 2nd Raspi. I just ordered all of the components. Looking forward to our delivery date!

Don't some people have apartments with electricity included in the rent? Places like that are begging to be mining stations

a lot of folks are planning on making something with legos, etc.  I am using jdapes adapters + an old pc case.  any small fan or a couple pc case fans should do.  if a raspi can do it your netbook will be fine.  mining does not require a lot of bandwidth, your wifi G should be more than enough.

edit: adapters thread is here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/klondike-adapters-and-mounting-systems-246638

I'm sure doing all the above will work fine,,,maybe not hiding it at work tho...lol

If I did mine with it myself instead of hosting, a few things come to mind.

What do you guys plan on using for a case? I have 1 64 chip board. I might just build something.

What do you plan on using for cooling?

I might use a small house fan.

9 inch should do it.

I have an old netbook (n280, 2 gigs of ram, ocz ssd)

Is a netbook appropriate for the job? I'd let the screen sleep, but never the netbook itself.

It's only wireless G, though I do have a wireless N network, with a 50 megabit down, 10 megabit up connection.

I wonder if I could hide it at work somewhere
