One of the assembled K64s, that I am trying to get running. Individual K16s are working with less than 1% error rate. There is some issue with I2C (board to board) communication, that I am hoping to iron out by tonight.


What's connecting the boards together?  I see an orange, yellow and green(blue?) wire connecting the 2 lower boards along with lots of red and black power wires, but they aren't connected to the 2 upper boards unless you've hidden wires on the back of the PCB to tangle into the fans.
Probably working on getting it hashing with 2 boards...before 3/4 +, while you are online TH can you tell us if your chip order was updated?

Just had to come back... LMAO
Is that scotch tape?HuhHuh?

I think 2 weeks from chips delivery was very very overly optimistic...


and... what is up with the hosting service preorder idea?
Sell cloud hash without transference of the physical asset? Brilliant.


It's called KAPTON tape.  It is designed to take high temperatures, so you can use it to mask areas of the board during a wave soldering operation or whatever.  It is also useful for just holding stuff in place sometimes Wink

No update on our orders yet.


Well that sucks if orders presumably after your May order are getting updates...

Presumably their deal is with Cointerra.  It could also be ActM.

If you want to wait till November to hash, I'd get a refund and buy ActM shares. eASIC put out a press release talking about their chips.

http://www.easic.com/vmc-uses-easic-to-achieve-24-756-ths-bitcoin-miner/

I still think Labcoin is a better deal, but for people who JUST HAVE TO HAVE 28nm, this proves ActM has a real chip in the pipeline.
Yes have been watching cointerra, very impressive, but so is easic. They both are going BIG in design plans. This will get real interesting before the end of the year.

No update on our orders yet.


By the way, I am glad to see you guys moving more towards the future with hosting. Lets face it, hashing/mining BTC ourselves, is out growing all of us just way to fast to make any real profits. As in most things, there will be strength in numbers, such as 2 peta hash! and thus hopefully on going/continuing profit for all involved. So far I like the concept in theory. But, it will take the working miners in place for it to become reality. keep us posted! Smiley

That would be the prudent thing to do, I was just confused as it said the pics was an assembled K64, which I took to mean completed.

SebastianJu's order was updated to Prepare-shipping as well, and Terrahashs' order was placed before. Chips soon ? ;p

Fingers crossed.  Terrahash, what is the status of your avalon chip order?

Zefir and Sebastian ( may 11 ) got a "prepare shipping" for their  orders.

I would love to hear an update from TH. When can I get my refund? What's going on? When are you thinking of delivering? What happened with the chips? Did you get them? Etc etc etc

 Undecided  so that's the 'big announcement' ...  not so impressed.  if they offered smaller packages like 100/250/500ghs that might be something, but when i see something pushed as 'affordable' i think not only in terms of gh/$ but accessibility for the little guys (like myself).  $6/ghs is awesome, but if we have to spend a minimum of 3k to get that price it still excludes a lot of us small time hobby miners.  for example look at the saturn: they could offer something in the 200-250ghs range at a slightly higher price per gh, which would bring in more people / make them more money, and still be undercutting the competition by quite a margin.

here's to hoping our avalon powered boards will have some sort of historic/collector value someday!   Roll Eyes  lol

I don't like the offer TH provided for 6$/GHs in November. It is too far away to predict if it is worthwhile.
I will go for 100% refund.

From Zefir's thread...
Update: Order Status Change, future Refund Requests

Order Status Change
Today, the order status of our three remaining batches changed to 'Prepare-shipping', hope this means we'll see the chips soon.

Terrahash any updates on your avalon orders status ?

As far as I know they've only "partnered" with Avalon and I'd say over 50% of this forum did as well through various group buys and everyone got screwed.

They also partnered with cloudhashing, which didnt turn out so well either.
