Hi cryptx,

Could you confirm people who wish to keep their order still get the chance to order bitfury's before the public?

Just to inform you about our services.

ASIC HARDWARE:
ASIC Hardware is a fully owned subsidiary of the Belgian based company CryptX. ASIC Hardware provides a platform were Bitcoin mining hardware can be ordered. We will be live very soon.

The Bitburner Fury
We will offer fully assembled and tested Bitcoin mining board. The board will hold 16 Bitfury ASIC chips. Our chip order is the first order in the queue of the delivery of 20 September. The board will have an external clock which makes it possible to overclock the chips. The board is designed by Burnin Electronics.

Ah, that would make sense - I hope that's what it means....  (I took 'migrated customer' to mean customers who had migrated their order from a Bitburner XX to a Bitburner Fury - but I think your interpretation makes more sense.)

And sorry, burnin, for jumping to conclusions here - you're doing a great job, and I'm looking forward to mining with your products.

I appreciate that, thank you

When and how can we migrate to Bitburner Fury? I assume this will happen through CryptX' site: http://www.asic-hardware.com/ ?

As far as I understand, ALL migrated customers (those that are actually in burnins database) get the chance to order an early version of BitFurry, so you don't need to cancel your previous order.

Hmm, that's almost enough to make me cancel my Bitburner XX order - if you're saying cancelling is the only way to get an early Bitburner Fury :-(

Seems an odd way to reward those of us who decided to hang in there with you rather than bailing on the project

EDIT TO ADD: How about allowing all existing customers early access, whether or not they choose to keep their Bitburner XX orders open?

Thanks for the update, glad to see you working on the new chips!

The 2 bitburners I received have been excellent -- hardware (and interface to cgminer) is rock solid which is impressive for a first version product!

Now I just need more to add to the stack!

Great news and thank you for your hard work!

Thank you for the update.

They are all finished now and i should receive them tomorrow.
To get shorter manufacturing time i need reliable AND exact information when i will receive the chips.
But as german customs were involved this time there was no way to know when i would receive them.
My contractor received the chips on Monday last Week, actual manufacturing began on Thursday that week.

My manufacturing partners offer short reaction times in comparison to the rest of the industry but i can't afford to have the machines rigged up and waiting for the Avalon chips.
The machines have to be rigged up prior to assembly, that takes time and costs money.
Also if i have the machine standing still waiting for a chip delivery that would cost me per hour.



Only if the chips are pin and protocol-compatible it would be possible to use the old boards for them.
(Maybe even remove the old chips and replace them for the delivered ones)
But i think those chips will have a different pinouts/interface/package.

Also with the Cointerras on the horizon i also doubt the Avalon 55nm chips will be available fast enough to compete with them.
Additionally we already have 55nm chips available to us NOW, those are the Bitfurys.

My Roadmap:
end of September to November - Bitfury 55nm
from early January 2014  - CoinTerra - 28nm

Regarding the BitBurner XX -> Bitburner Fury process:
CryptX will provide the chips.
Migrated customers will be able to order before the public.
ETA of the boards: early October.

We sell the already payed order for 7 bitburnerXX(20chip) boards as stated here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3067514

I can buy 10 bitburnerXX(20chip) boards.
I have 200 chips. I'm from EU (Poland)

SebastianJu also got a mail about 12hours

For anyone that didn't notice remaining Zefir batches are shipping within 12 hours:

What about the other group buys?

PMed

Could anyone update me on the achieved hashrates? Whats the best one could achieve, power draw, warranty voids? Any bitburner gone bad? How hot are you guys letting them run? any specific piece (except for the chips) that needs an extra eye on (extra cooling)?

Here's a picture of my setup, while not completely finished with tidying up all the wires and going to relocate it off the table once I have everything ready to go. Unit will have 3 140 mm fans pumping heat out the top, 2 140 mm pumping heat out the Left side, and 3 140 mm pumping heat out of the right side, and 1 big box fan pumping air in from behind. The front of the case will get covered back up if or when I get bored of the flashing lights or after Christmas....LOL

For the Case I used a NZXT 810 Switch that I got for $68 as it was a showroom model that had a few scratches which didn't bother me since I gutted the inside. I spent about $100 on aluminum to house the psu's on the bottom and that rack supports the tower, along with the aluminum to make the sliding racks of each set of 8 bitburners.

32 Bitburners with 3 1250w XFX Gold Psu's and this setup gets around 250 gh/s on average (varies from 237-267). I have 3 more bitburners that will be in a small housing once I get them fixed. One of them keeps popping fuses instantly, and the other I can't update the firmware since it has a broken micro usb connector from shipment. The 3rd one is good to go now that I got the replacement capacitor among a few other parts I had to gut on one board to get the other damaged boards in shipment working.

Kano is that firmware the same as 1.0.2? I have 1 BTB that is half the speed and was wondering if that will cure the problem. Ive spoken to Burnin about it and he said to send it back but there is no point as Diff will increase so much by the time the board is back and will have 1 btb less for hell knows how long.

I'm going to go with Option 1./ I have 2 boards on order, so amalgamating 70% of the value of both of these and adding some of the BTC from my chip refunds should get me something pretty good.

Not optimistic about the 5GH/s a chip, but we'll see..

Looking forward to seeing the new site live
