1. You convert existing orders that have not been refunded yet to Bitfury product orders.
The 70% partial refund will be deducted from your final order price.
2. You choose to get the 50%, later hopefully 70% partial refund.

What's the difference between 1 and 2?

my interpretation:

1 ← if you want hardware
2 ← if you want money

That makes sense.

More interesting would be the migration of the Bitburners to the 55nm chips.

@burnin
I know you can't tell us if its possible as long as there are no specs released,
but would you be willing to put in some effort if it would only include to change
the software part to the existing hardware layout?

I poses a preorder of some chips and i intended to hold them, but with this
whole PR stunt of some 400 thousandish chips which we will probably not
even get the slightest glimpse of, plus the announcement of their 55nm
chips, i am seriously considering getting rid of my chips.
Would be a nice bonus if you could recycle the boards to next-gen and
of course my orders with them Grin

Just got this

"Dear valued customers,

There has been very little communication from me over the last few days, because the development
of the BitFury boards takes up all of my time.
I had to prioritize this over refund processing, because the Bitfury chips are expected to be delivered soon.

Now to the important part:
My new main distributor is CryptX aka asic-chips.com.
Their new site for complete hardware sales will be www.asic-hardware.com.
We have agreed that they will take over my end-user sales.
CryptX will also take over the refund processing and automate it.
I will transfer the orders that have not been completed or refunded yet and my customer database to them.
After transfer of the database you can log on to their site and you will have three options:
1. You convert existing orders that have not been refunded yet to Bitfury product orders.
The 70% partial refund will be deducted from your final order price.
2. You choose to get the 50%, later hopefully 70% partial refund.
3. Keep your order.

If you have any objection to the transfer of your information to CryptX, please
let me know by sending an email with the subject line:
'Opt out of database transfer'
You have 24 hours before the transfer, requests received later will be deleted on their side.


Cheers
Martin

Anyone else have chips shipped to Burnin 2 weeks ago as part of Zefir's Batch 2 and are waiting on a response from Burnin? The only updates I have seen from him are about how he has been processing refunds and working on Bitfury project. Has anyone heard anything about the Zefir Batch 2 chips that were sent to Burnin?

I've tried contacting via forum, PM, email. nothing..

I've heard nothing and am also wondering if they've gone into manufacturing or what.
If so, and there's no option to convert to bitfury ... fine - but it'd be nice to know where things stand.

Ah, heh, OK.

At the moment I'm using a Linux laptop that has WinXP in a VM.

After a bit of fooling around (well, more than a bit) I got it flashed and now it looks like it's working as it should:

Code:
BTB 0: 52C 350 1226mV | 8.467G/7.224Gh/s | A:608 R:0 HW:0 WU:100.9/m

Thanks.

Hold on! Hold on! You have BitBurners? If yes then read tutorial here: http://www.burninmining.com/news/

Ah, thanks.  Reading.

Edit: That looks straightforward enough.  I'll give it a try.

What batch were your avalon chips part of?

I got some in Zefir's batch 1.
Heh yeah I meant what type of computer you were using, not what hardware to program it, it programs over USB Smiley

Thanks.

How do I flash it?
That made me laugh Cheesy

OK ... what hardware you got.

I'm not sure what's needed really.  Some sort of JTAG interface I guess?

I have a "Xilinx Platform Cable USB" thing with some adapter cables and an adapter board that says "Design By Ngzhang".

I also have a Seeed Bus Pirate.

I've never actually used either.

I would have an AVR Dragon if someone hadn't apparently thefted it out of my mailbox. Sad

Bogart,

When I run with --debug I see tons of:

Code:
[2013-09-10 20:26:11] BTB0: Get avalon read got err 0
 [2013-09-10 20:26:11] BTB0: Get avalon read got err 0
 [2013-09-10 20:26:11] BTB0: Get avalon read got err 0

...and so on.  That's not normal, is it?

That's normal.
0 = no error.

I've got a 1.0.2 firmware that forces the 20 chip count
I'll PM you a link.

Ah, yeah I didn't have --avalon-options at all, or any options other than the pool login.

Including --avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:350, it's running at 350MHz now, but still seemingly at half strength.

I wonder how I'd look at the firmware and its chip count...

Looks like the firmware thinks it's only got 10 chips instead of 20.

Also, but unrelated, you're running it at default 282MHz
Try putting that up to at least 350 (350 for me works fine on the default 1200mv with hardly any errors and little affect on the temperature)
e.g. --avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:350

Me, 5.25 days Smiley
 BTB 0: 52C 350 1223mV | 7.755G/6.959Gh/s | A:740352 R:5406 HW: 40 WU: 97.2/m

It's Spring now here in Aus and I've already had a 30C day and a 29C day - so I've been staying on 350 for a while now.

Either way, try --avalon-options 115200:2:10:d:350 and see what happens

Any ideas what I should look at?

What settings are you using?
