Hi

I designed this little USB miner using Avalon 1st generation ASIC chip.

http://i44.tinypic.com/j14htf.jpg

Now it's running smoothly on 300MH/s on cgminer, on MAC/Ubuntu/Windows, 100% software compatible with icaurs protocol which used for erupter block.

Now i'm homebrewing the first batch, do you want to buy one, in what price(mbtc, usd)?

Thank you.

ROLF!

I would be interested in purchasing these, but considering a 333MH/s version is available from a more known and trusted supplier, I'd say I'd be interested in buying some for £5 each.

You would need to make them quite thin and with no heatsink so they will fit on a USB hub.

Please also attach pictures with a piece of paper written with your username and the date.

ok sorry to chime in here with some skepticism, but the miner in the pic just looks like and ASICMINER with new heatsinks put on. sounds like someone is trying to recoup BTC from previously purchased ASICMINERS. with next gen miners out now, usb miners are never going to generate ROI.

Is this ASIC obsolete so my design is out dated?

Avalon2 design was done and tested also.. It took me months to figure out the whole process of mining logic and hardware design.

NO ROI, unless BTC exchange rate going up 10000$... this is a tool for learning mining at home. a toy purpose.

The picture you watch carefully you'll spot the avalon logo. and later i'll post some other photos.

For ROI, ASIC on the market will never be miner-friendly. so i taped out my own design...

here's the pic, sorry forget the date.

but this cgminer running on ubuntu (vmware fustion on mac 10.9/ubuntu client 1310) has date and time

thank you for your interest.

p.s. edited for image tag for direct display on thread

Looks like you put alot of work in that, very nice.
Good name also siliconrelic.com - lost or not.

Now can you make it do 2gh for about 50bucks each ?
I will sell the first 250000 of em for you :)

That is where we are at, always needing more, something evil this way comes.

I would need 100 of em at 2gh to make any real bits.

You really did a nice job on it tho, where you learn that ?

I'm very interested in buying some of them. But whith the actual diff...
What price do you want ?

2GH/s@50USD in 250K? if a practical lead/delivery time is give.

consider avalon2 running 1.5GH/s@7USD, this is eminently doable.

you know 250 means ROLF in chinese.

Antminer is more efficient i think

you name a price for this relic, it's for fun, a old avalon mini-est system could actually run.

something ROI possible will be soon, 12-core avalon2 board is under testing.

sneak peek ;)

Being real, I do not know what ROLF means ?
But for the small guys that built this thing 200gh is minimum now to roll a bit of coin.

Since I like some of these USB dongle-miners just for fun, I'd like to pick up a couple to add to my collection if the price is right.  I like that you were able to do this with far fewer components than the block erupter USBs.

Wow you actually made your own usb sticks, that's really cool. How much money did you spend making each one?

Yes I would definately buy one of these if the price is ok. (I don't expect to ROI)

Yeah great job. Let everyone know the prices.

Really cool indeed!

I want one for collection

Here is a guy who needs a board designer for dual chip asics using KITS to assemble.
Think 1960's heathkit popularity. Using burned out blades for parts.
Contact him he is getting impatient, from lack of interest.
He needs a board designer. and chip signal specs.

had a busy trip for Shanghai bitfund.pe trip, will catch up your questions later soon.

Thanks for everyone who's interested and posted questions and opionions

Thanks, but not sure what to do with that - order through them via translated pages, or???

These appear related to the '[BtcDrill USB](http://www.cybtc.com/data/attachment/portal/201308/15/172205n26aiaww5u5dez57.png)' - were they originally designed for that and subsequently got canceled?

I am interested in purchasing quantity of the PCB, or purchasing the PCB layout file. Please contact me.

Given the rather more capable new Avalon chips (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514323) coming out, might be worth blowing some new life into this project?
