Topic: What to do with 500 avalon chips? (Read 1944 times)

I would ^^

what a waste

Am I wrong that it is worthless to assemble these now?

I thought the calculations showed that this is a waste of electricity....similar to USB Erupters.

ill buy them pm sent!

We have 1 EE working on the design for a prototype Avalon V1 Wasp more chips could be useful. We are also thinking about the Avalon V2 Chips as another EE in our group is also interested in that if you know others needing a project for their chips. Guys just contact me via email and I will get you in the Zoho Project page and you can poke around. Thanks for posting about us Warhawk.

Note we have a project meeting for EE's this Saturday on teamspeak you are more than welcome to join us and discuss the potential for getting in on our Avalon V1 Wasp prototype. We are quite keen on showing how multiple Wasp variants can be hashing on the same backplane (HIVE). You can probably get a Avalon Wasp up in December and in January you could add on A1 Wasps if they are ready and then in February when the Minions Wasps are ready you can add those. So not a bad way to get mining now and upgrade.

On a side note we were personally pretty lucky to get a full refund in our group buy on our Avalon Chips... sad how this all degraded so quickly into a crap pile because of Avalon. Anything we can do to help let me know. There are still a number of Klondike designs available and working right? Maybe you can also look at those DIY plans and pool your remaining chips to get that going. Anyhow whatever you do I wish you luck guys.

ebay? you might be able to get a few dollars each from people dumb enough to expect magical bitcoins to pour forth from the shiny underside

Maybe embed them in acrylic and make keychains?
I bet some people would love to have one as a keychain.

The Open Hardware WASP/HIVE Project. They have someone working on a prototype for Avalon Gen1 chips. I have 240 of my own from zefirs GB that never got assembled, but this project allows for Bitfury and A1 chip interfaces so you are not stuck with one manufacturer.

My suggestion put them on your fire... Winter is coming

Personal matters distracted me from btc for a couple of months.

So now i have 500 avalon chips from zefir groupbuy and i am not sure what to do with them.

Should i try to send them to someone to make me a few boards or just sell them?

Who is still producing boards for this?
