PS The one on the front page is the one that will be updated.

What forms of payment will you accept for the full payment on the reel?

Great. Thanks for your response.

Thinking it might be good to have a countdown. Let me know if this one is accurate:

Timer removed. End time: 2013-10-09+11:59:59GMT

Ok, so just to be perfectly clear, would be good to get answers to these questions:

Is this auction is still going ahead?

Is there a minimum price?

Current highest bid is 45BTC?

The auction finishes in 20 hrs from right now?

Punin, can you please answer these questions ASAP.

Cheers

The power will be coming purely from the 5v. Adding covertors to step from 12v to 5v is also possible. Something like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270863166827?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Should be plenty for a full miniplane, potentially enough for a double scroll too, though you may need up to 50A for that. I've asked Dan our main hardware guy to send me through some real solid details on the power sitch and i'll post them here once i have them.

I just posted this over on the other forum:

The power for the 8 board is 25-30W. The full miniplane is ~100-120W. The full double scroll is about 250W or thereabouts, about the 5V section of a standard 500-600W power supply. If only running one miniplane, almost any small computer PSU should handle it. Id put it at about 5V, 25A for a miniplane. 450W is the cheapo power supply that can be gotten anywhere, this should be OK as long as the 5V does 25A or more.

Dan is saying that any mid sized power supply with an ATX should do the job.

Hope that helps. I'll post more as soon as i know.

Barntech

Hey all.

Ok, i'll port over any bits of crucial information that happened over on the other forum so that everything is updated here.

Regarding the two questions above. The double scroll is a hub into which you can plug two miniplanes, with this you will only need one ATX power supply and one USB connector to run 8 boards. So yes, the ATX connector powers the boards, no need for plugging in individual power to each board. The power for the boards is 5V. Effectively this means 8 boards becomes one miner. Without the double scroll, 8 boards is two miners. Yes i guess you could get someone in China to make a power splitter for you but i can't really comment on this and don't specifically recommend it, but by all means, if you can get that done, go for it.

Will bring across other updates soon.

And we're back!

Three cheers for the bitcointalk crew for sorting this out. 

Sorry, don't know what's going on with that formatting. You guy the idea. 

OK,

So i've been going through the orders for Batch one. I've done a wee spot of color coding on the list. I'll paste it here but please check the front page for the master list that will continue to be updated. Basically if your name is green, you are fully paid and ready to go. Hooray! If your name is black, you still need to pay for Shipping or Assembly or both. Please contact me! If i don't have your forum name matched to your real name, i have entered initials for your spot in the queue.

If you guys can please stay on top of this ans sort out the remaining payments that will save me from having to write to everyone individually and that would be totally awesome!! Have a look, if your name is black and you know what you still need to pay, go ahead and pay it. If you are unsure, or you have paid and i have made a mistake, write to me and let me know.

Once you have paid, send me an email at drillbitsystem@gmail.com with the details.

Payments details are:

BTC, pay to 1AF1WmU9Ut2CMuMJWgeBiXb2LMCd6x1GYA.

Paypal, pay to jessericketson@gmail.com

Thank all.!!

Yeah, that's the spirit. Nice one IAS. I think prime position right on your shelf is just the spot for it! ... How's your girlfriend doing? She gonna be OK? 

As for which fan to get, i'm not really sure. Part of me wants to say get the fastest, biggest, best 1850 all the way baby, but maybe that's overkill, i don't know. Is noise an issue? Its a bit louder, but not that much. It'll certainly be quieter than the standup room fan i have cooling my GPUs (yes they're still running, i know its stupid and they cost much more to run than they make, but i just can't bring myself to turn them off! ... I guess i will once the Drillbits are in!  ). I'm sure a medium one would do just fine, but hey its only a couple bucks and a couple dbs!

And nice PSU choice. You could probably get away with a cheaper one, but that one looks nice.

BT

Bahahaha. Yeah, let's just say "soon"... some weeks, in a bit, a jiffy, before you know it! 

Send out the good vibes people!

Yep.

Got an email back from Dave saying that we should be getting chips within two weeks. Hoorah! 

This is supposed to be an auction for a reel of chips right? I am quite excited to watch its progress.

Papamoi, i'm sure you could start a rather interesting discussion thread on the ethics of making profit by selling people things they want, but here is not the place for it.

I agree that the prices are high, but then that's why this auction is so interesting as it will give some kind of indication as to what the market is willing to pay.

Punin, i wish you the best of luck in the auction and hey, if the price is right, i'll throw in a bid. Let's see what happens.

This is not the case. Paypal via third party for Batch 2 is still an option. Looking into why the page is down now.

Paypal is still an option for Batch 2. The paypal that is frozen is ours which is why we are doing paypal for batch 2 through the third party... but you are right, the minersource page is not working. I will look into it now. Stay tuned

Hey Stinky.

I am a he (not many females in bitcoin land alas, would be nice if there were more ) and yes i'm legit.

I am verified by John. K here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=266235.msg2917573#msg2917573

And i think most members of this group will vouch for my "legit-ness" having been in ongoing dialogue with me for a couple months now.

If you are interested in knowing any other details, or if there is anything else i can tell you that will help ease your mind, let me know.

Cheers

Sorry, haven't got AUS prices on there. I'll get on that. Just PM'd you. 

Yes. If you attach all the boards via one USB, the Atmel chip on the first board will distribute the nonce data to all the chips on all the boards in one big string. If you want to run different boards in different pools you will need to attach them individually each with its own USB connection. From there you can assign each of them as you like in Cgminer.

I wouldn't be so sure, but let's hope not. As you say, its only day 2 of October, so we should give the benefit of the doubt and assume we'll be getting exciting news any day now. Put out the positive chip vibes everyone!
