Hi,

Could you tell me when pcb's will be ready for shipping? Id like to order few bare pcbs and mount everything my self. I have a few pice SMT/BGA rework rig that will handle it with ease. Also are you going to provide schematics for your pcb? Im thinking of setting up a small pcb production line in UK to speed up build process. 

Many thanks

Will you accept chips from ragingazn628's group buy also? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/group-buy1-avalon-asics-chips-using-johnk-as-escrow-finished-177994

I'm trying to figure out my options with the chips I'm going to order through him.

I also am curious as to the answer to this.

Yes that's possible, but will likely cause some delays.
If you can arrange direct shipping to me it shouldn't be that much though.
...

Yes, I'll just give my shipping address as yours.  However, minimum buy in was 1 btc or 12.82 chips.  I kicked in an extra little bit for 13 chips.  If I get it sent directly to you, can you just include the extra 3 chips in the package?  Are there any plans for a single USB chip in a dongle style miner? Also, will you be accepting btc for payment?  And how are you going to be handling shipping internationally? 

I know you've got a ton of stuff to manage with this, and I'm just a little guy, but I'd like to iron everything out before it gets started.  Thanks for doing this, this is an awesome way for some of us with less funds to get in on the action.

As far as your design goes for stacking. The middle card is not going to get any airflow as it is currently positioned. Might I suggest stacking the boards so the heatsinks are sandwiched together facing each other, with two cards per fan. It would also be a good idea to use 120mm fans. More efficient, less noisy than 80mm.

Also, while I appreciate what you are trying to do, Who are you? No post count, late '12 join date, and no reputation make me extremely apprehensive sending you 100's of BTC worth of hardware.

for those that just want the bare pcb is it possible to have the chips delivered to you so the chips and the pcb board can be shipped together?



I like this idea too, raw pcb w/ the chip, it should speed up the entire process..




Regarding higher density boards (more chips/board):
I'll focus on the 10 Chip version for now but i will look into that.

If you ordered your Chips from zefir that could be arranged.

Ah ok so I guess I did it correctly. What wasn't clicking in my brain is that I'll place an order with burnin using the same address as I ordered the chips, and then it will all sync up properly on Zefir's end for the chips to go to burnin directly.

All good.

Come on people, it isn't too difficult:


Ordering and Pricing Info:
You order your chips from Zefir or other group buys.
I have an agreement with Zefir, who will ship all chips that
are to be mounted on my boards directly to me in one big delivery.
You don't need to send Zefir a message that he should ship your chips to me!
For other chip sources you'll have to figure out yourself how to get the chips to me.

I had actually ordered my chips from Zefir before seeing this thread. Should I let the process go normally and then when he needs a shipping address down the road, ship it to you? Or should I handle this some other way? Sorry for the confusion. I'd looked over the DIY thread a few days ago but didn't realize you were all set to go and handle it in bulk by taking the orders yourself.

Thanks.

I have the same question.can we send you emails now or just wait till you open ?

You should read his post again.

From his FAQ:
>
>Q: Can I order now to have a "good" place in the order cue?
>A: No, you can't, ordering will start with announcement of the definitive price.

Q:
Can I fly over to pick up boards and pay them on site ?

I’m also interested in this, but I’d drive instead of fly there.

To recap, sending you an order via email now is pointless because orders aren’t open yet, right? You may want to clarify that in the OP.

I have an order myself. I stated facts and figures, I did not imply anything.

I manufacture clothes. I sell them for profit too. I have employees to pay salaries. I have other costs as well (raw materials, labor, etc). I was just stating what is already provided, I just made it all into one table. I want understand what is going on, and how much are we paying.

I did not ask for margins or anything. I understand that he has to put a little on top, that is fine.

Again, I have an order myself, so it is in my best interest for Burnin to succeed.

Just stating numbers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Dabs,

I suggest you to design and build PCB and sell it for free what about it? I will be sure to state this in your tread so everybody knows that you are super cool. There is nothing wrong in Burnins approach. He deserves for sure to make a bug for his efforts. Who does not like it is free to do whatever he wants with his chips after all

I did not take him dumb enough to imply this, but if he indeed wanted to mean this, that would be a super troll. This figure includes raw material, expertise, labor and time. Achieve this for 1 board from scratch before opening you mouth. Some people ...

These are obvious facts - what is there to be right or wrong ? Did you want to convey something by building that table ?
