Hello Everyone,

I made the trip to Terrahash today...


Thank you knightlife999 for going on this trip as you promised.  I think with your efforts, some of the more alarming concerns raised in older posts have been put to rest.  We are dealing with a legitimate start up that has been off to a very rough start.  Things appear to be moving in a positive and acceptable direction.  I am seeing hardware being worked on, multiple updates, and photos from Terrahash.  My comfort level and patience have all been re established.

It's my pleasure. I'm glad we are moving forward. Smiley

Awesome, thanks for the info!

The 16 chip board is working now (kind of). We are only using 8 chips on one side to hash right now. The Ktest utility that BkkCoins made, can talk to the board, send it test data and read back nonces. The nonces are coming back as "GOOD". The default clock is 64 MHz (it says 128 in the pics below, because BkkCoins says its half frequency). Increasing the clock to 128 also works. Anything more than that, and nonces stop coming back. The board is hashing as well at 64 MHz and 128 MHz, however, its still throwing some errors while hashing. So far it has gone upto 809 MH/s. Its varying a lot right now as the board is throwing hardware errors. Now we will start debugging these errors. However, we believe this is a big feat so far.

In the video below, the red LED is not blinking because I burnt it earlier today. I also show the BTCGuild dashboard, and then refresh it to show the updated number of accepted shares.

I can verify that the desk, k16 board connected to an atx power supply, and PC shown in Terrahash's video are in Amir's office. I sat in front of that desk for a few minutes earlier today. Glad to see you guys are making progress with the 16 chip board!

Were is the board with 2 chips on the one side?


That board is in my pics and video. In my photo bucket library it's K16b, k16c, k16d, and k16e. It's clearly in the pics. 2 chips on a klondike 16 board.

Thank you Terrahash for opening up your office to knightlife999.  I also appreciate the recent efforts in keeping us updated with progress.  Speaking for myself, not hearing from your firm in this forum was one of my biggest concerns.

Now I'll leave you be so you can get those boards hashing Smiley

I didn't see the board that had 2 ASIC's on one side.
The one with the PicKit 3 attached. Also did you see the PicKit 3? and or any power supplys?

You can see the PicKit 3 and the power supply in the video.

Official TerraHash representative here.

In order to be classified as a "scam", we have to be accepting money from you. All the folks who have contacted us since this morning, asking to place a pre-order, we have told them that we are not accepting any orders until we have something to ship.

Regarding the address, its not an alley, it is a wharehouse/retail space. It is for rent (see link below[1]). We are in the process of finalizing the lease. We don't have anything to do yet, as we all know Avalon has not released the specs yet. We will be buying the chips boards in bulk from BkkCoins (we are already in talks with him). We are already in talks with different suppliers for the components (again waiting for the Klondike design to be finished). We have already ordered automatic assembly machines (solder paste dispensers, SMT pick and place, reflow oven etc.).

The reason we went ahead with the press release so early is to gain hold in this market that is going to get very competitive soon.

I won't be replying to this thread anymore, and will be starting a new really official thread.

Thanks all.

Thanks. Just to be clear, the "outside company" where the boards will be assembled, is owned by one of our partners. Its a brand new facility with an SMT assembly line set up for a project which won't start getting manufactured for another 5-6 months. So, we have full access to the SMT assembly line for the next few months.

What time does the tech come in ?

He didn't give me a daily time, but he said that the tech was coming in to work at 1700 this evening.
