$350 USD plus shipping for 1.6 GH/s.  Wow, that is aggressive!   Shocked

Good luck with that sale.  Guessing, whoever buys it, will be for the nostalgia factor, or a bookshelf conversation piece.
Obviously it's not useful for mining bitcoin anymore.  I suppose there is a use for hobbyists who reprogram FPGAs for other tasks though.

I'm not interested in investing in more mining hardware, so I won't do the trade-in.  They were originally offered for sale on this thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/discontinued-lancelot-heavy-duty-400-mega-hashes-2-x-fpga-mining-board-187549

And the PDF manual can still be found at this page:
https://www.cardreaderfactory.com/download/documentation/lancelot%20user%20manual.pdf

It's about 400 Mh/s for each unit, and I have four of them.

@poochone  If you are interested, I'll sell all four and a power supply for $350 USD, plus shipping.  Or you can make me an offer.  I'll have to check on the cost of shipping and I suppose you'll want to use escrow.  I can also post pictures for you and power them on to show they are in working condition.

What's the specs on the Lancelot FPGA?

Edit:  Nevermind found it.  Not even GH/s, hopefully BA still honors the trade in deal.

If you are the original purchaser, contact Blackarrow about their trade-in program. I know their current prices are no good but they will be lowered once they start shipping in two-three weeks. They were offering $300 off per Lancelot up to 30% of your order price back in November. I imagine they might still honor this deal since they had such a long delay coming to market.

I have four BlackArrow Lancelot FPGAs?  They aren't useful for mining anymore, so I have them in a box.  Do they have any resale value, for development board purposes?  Where would be the best place to sell it if so?  Thanks.
