Topic: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service - page 29. (Read 624200 times)

It seems to work now. apt-get was missed before i think. It looks now like it will work...

Paraphrase from the README:




To me it sounds like you are missing some of the prerequisites.  The lines starting with "sudo apt-get" in -Redacted-s' post should take care of that.

No need for CTRL-C; you can pass the options directly to autogen.sh

This should have all the steps you need.  Change it to pull from ckolivas's git and add your avalon options in place of the bitfury enable.

What were the steps for compiling cgminer on rpi again? I searched everywhere, even in kano's latest posts but his post where he explained it to me seems to not exist anymore unfortunately.

It was something like

git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
./autogen.sh --enable-avalon

But at this step it gets already error message that it misses something in autogen. Autoconf missing and so on. So i dont reach the make-command.

There have been shipping confirmations for zefir batch 2. Just few pages back.

What batch / order# it was?

I can tell you that most of the bigger DP / DHL departments and also some smaller ones have a business center/counter, too. In most cases it's in the backroom, reachable via a backdoor   The DHL trucks are loaded/unloaded there too. Even there are many packages sent from dortmund all the time I never had to wait more than 2 minutes there.

Today i got a packet from burnin for 5 bitburner that i host for a member for a couple weeks until he moved. So i can tell you that he is shipping. The miner were packaged even better than my first delivery. It will be hard to crash them on shipping.

@burnin... i saw you use online labelling... i normally do this so too but last time the postwoman asked me if i wouldnt pay the shipping at the post station because they have to solve a certain amount of sold value to keep the number of employments. With too less value they lose employments. So i think for the future i will only print out the full labels and pay there. The line in post office is way too long all the time anyway... Only for consideration since you have to bring the packets there anyway.

It is infuriating to pay over 400 Euros for 'express' shipping and not even get any order status feedback.
It's also a sting to hear that there have been a few days lost due to involvement in what amounts to a later project - the bitfury one - when I've fulfilled my parts of the deal by shipping him chips and paying in full immediately for board assembly and shipping.

So, what are the current options - Can I get a mate in Germany to drive over and pick them up?  Are the zefir batch 2 boards definitely assembled and just waiting?

Even on pickup, I would consider the 400+ Euros as owing to me - but I would be happy to take the risk of deferring the debt until such time as burnin is (hopefully) in profit - given the difficult circumstances that are mostly not of his creating.

I dont know what such shipment provider would cost but when i imagine burnin packaging hundreds! of boards alone and manually... he has to buy all the packaging, bubblefoil, packets and so on. He has to bring it to post station and buy the shipping labels too. I doubt a bit that the shipment provider would be so pricey when the actual price for the postage and package material is taken out. But i imagine on the other hand that this will mean an immense work to do which most probably cant be done fast.
I only think that the shipment provider can work cheaper than burnin putting his time into this.
I might be wrong at this point of course since i dont have a clue what such shipping contractor takes..

Not everyone can afford to lose EUR 20,000 and still continue to spend money.  Sound like burnin is doing what is necessary to stay in business.

So, am I understanding this right?

The assembler factory isn't handing out any Bitburners back to burnin before the whole SebastianJu's batch is done?
There are hundreds of boards ready, but they are still just waiting in the assembler's warehouse?

ok, thank you Sebastian. I understand that its not his fault and there is nothing he could do for it, concerning the whole situation.

Burnin got the info from his assembler that it will go faster. He cant change it when the assembler decides that he has to do maintenance now, so that fewer machine-time is ready for burnin. The 20000€ are the loss till now. I see that it doesnt make much sense to now get a second assembler for a couple of boards since that only leads to even more loss. Once a placement machine is set up and runs its not so expensive, the more expensive part seems to be setting it up for a board design. So in light of people being loud to get 100% refund, and 50% already is a harder beat than he though (read... revenue from bitfury goes into bitburner refund), i did not await that he will collect the next thousands of debt. As far as i understand burnin did get the info from the assembler he depended on and now the assembler is doing maintenance without informing burnin before. So the placement machines are available not often. I dont see a solution there. He only can wait until its done. Getting a place in another assembler company would mean waiting another 2 weeks only to get the place. It will be faster with the current assembler. At least that is my interpretation.

Saying that... i hope my miners are coming soon...

@burnin... i dont think losing the shipping contractor was the best move. Shipping and packaging is most probably way more work than you think now and you will most likely pay more for shipping than they would do. The savings compared to the work and cost you will have will not be in good relation i think. On top its work you need the time for, means your bitfury works should stay in the way of shipping. At least until bitfury isnt ended.

Yes he did. And I said I would be fine with paying 50 euro more per board than he called in order to compensate his loss because of his excellent work.

Burnin, did you receive my request for water cooler instead of air cooling? Never received an answer from you!  

Read again. He said -€20.000.

I have a order with chips from zefir batch 2 and i'm wondering if anyone received their orders with chips from zefir batch 2 ?

burnin, could you please confirm that you received my message about change of chip BTC address? I sent both through contact form and forum. I'm afraid that my order will get lost because of this.

Very sorry to hear this burnin, but you could've sold in-stock bitfury boards (aka no more problems like bitburner boards) and make up for those money instead of letting cryptx to get a piece of your money(many people stated that they were ready to buy 10+ boards with a reasonable price). I will make my donation sometime in the next month for the awesome BitBurner boards.
