I´m interested in BitFury boards and I have BitBurners on order.

The order of manufacturing with the Bitburners was:
1) batch number
2) order number (to determine the order within a batch)

@burnin:
There won´t be any batches with the BitFury boards. How do you determine the order?

I´d suggest that those who´ve already paid for Bitburners and switch over to BitFury boards keep their order numbers.

I think if you convert an existing order to a bitfury-order, it seems fair to keep the order number. However, the group buy or batch number of the avalon chips should not play a role since the avalon chips are never going to be used. So - I'm not sure if this is what you meant - I'd suggest to keep the order number only.

Yes, that´s exactly what I meant.

I'm most definitely interested in Furyburner XVI board Wink

Go to a bank, get a 2 month loan, buy and build 1000 chips/boards and the community will support you with 10% deposit orders. This is how business needs to be done, like a business.

Not every business needs to be done like that surely?

This is not how business needs to be done, unless it is a bitcoin bank and bitcoin-nominated loan.

Hooray for non-equilibrium thermodynamics!

Hi Burnin, we're definitely interested, thanks for working on this Grin

. We've already got a relatively early chip order in with bitfurystrikesback (not huge numbers, but enough for us), would you consider assembling boards with our chips or are you definitely only selling complete board + chips packages this time?

A quick technical question, why did you decide to go for a 16-chip design for this board rather than the 20-chip design of your bitburner? I'd have thought that the extra density would be an advantage if it's possible to host that many chips on a board.

There is no 70% discount.
There is 70% money back.
Meaning that if you paid for 2 bit burners and you choose to get a refund you get 2*105*0.7 = 147eur discount on your "furyburner" order.
Not 2*470*0.7=658 eur discount.

I misread & thought......what the hell is a "furryburner" Huh

boards run separately or is there a master board for them? compatibility with the official m-board?

If the 70% discount applies, I would be interested in two units.
There should be no VAT as I live in US.

The Bitfury design i am working on is a 16 Chip board with the same form factor as the BitBurner.
I think it makes sense that i will sell boards including the chips now - no more group buys.
...
Price: ~470eur+vat (Complete module including chips)

+1, love you burnin

I would probably buy one or two. I'd also be willing to be a US distributor/reseller if you need one.

Yeah and hopefully a proper designed use of the chip

The USB interface crap (and lack of anything marginally representing a protocol) coming from some others, with the ButFury chips, is horrendous Tongue

... looking forward to it!

Can you get more than 2.5Gh/s per chip from USB interface?
just curious.

cheers,
kev

I'm not sure what you mean Tongue

There's no USB limitation like that ...

Do you mean the BitFury chip itself?
Yeah the GPIO joy of the designs so far are really bad, a clean MCU USB interface would have no trouble.

As for talking to a single chip over USB ... well the BFLSC chips are 4GH/s+ ... so no issue there either ... even with 256 or more of them on a single computer on USB ...

Even 50Ghash/board would be amazing with an early October shipping date.
I hope there's going to be enough interest

Interested in same size order as Bitburner XX boards. (I was in Zefir B1 and I have received the Bitburner XX's)
I also like the DIY approach, build a tower of 8 boards, hook it up, fiddle with the software.
It's fun!
And the disco show of the Bitburners boards, I want that back on the Furyburner boards!

I would be interested, I'm a big fan of the hobby-style boards. Hopefully it will be free of the usual pre-order madness! I like the design of your avalon boards, bitfury is a great next step.

EDIT: I would be interested in 2-4 of your boards. Thanks again for the great designs!

Will the bitfury chip be 'enough' given the other chips coming out?
What are the numbers and when does the Bitfury become the next Avalon chip?

Be nice to know the rough timeframe on that to consider whether a Bitfury project is viable.

Check the power efficiency here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/break-even-difficulty-by-hardware-efficiency-power-cost-value-of-btc-281279. The BitFury chip is well within the ballpark of the expected efficiency of future chips. As for cost competitiveness ... who knows. As far as I'm concerned, if a Bitfury based design will achieve a healthy positive ROI within a few months, there isn't much to worry about.
