I am sorry I don't quite get the purpose of the thread. Is this going to turn into a group-buy later or am I missing something?
Bulgaria is known for electronics manufacturers working on profit margins much less then the other countries, matched only by Asian manufacturers (low labor costs, etc.), but with satisfactory quality. You'll notice that manufacturing of all 10-16-20 asic boards (PCB + parts + assembly, - asics) are suggested to be in the range of 80 EUR. If thread starter can organize it for 28 EUR it would be attractive for many people, especially if you happen to live in this part of Europe where the shipping will also be cheaper. That's how I see it.
So yes generally the purpose of the thread is to announce We'll make Avalon based miners as a service to chip owners.
We are going to offer 4 separate things:
1. 1 chip USB miner based on Klondike K1 and K16 and We will offer
- PCB production and test
- Assembly with components except Avalon chip , provided by customer
2. Our own design 10 chip miner based on Avalon chip , again with customers chip
- We do not have finished design yet
3. Custom heat sinks for K16 , our own 10 chip and Original Avalon design heat sink
- These are in design, the price for avalon original design is not ready yet
4. 2 models Full enclosed miner based on K16 and our own 10 chip
Pricing is going to be transparent: I'm going to provide separate cost for PCB,assembly, components, heat sinks,enclosures,power supply,assembly, designer fee for Klondike with no added value . At the end I'll ask some fee for the efforts.
I'll post updates as soon I'm getting quotations from suppliers.
Do have in mind , that Klondike design is not fully finished , so there may be changes in time
Later maybe in September I'll go for retail units, but it depends on so many factors, so it's maybe , maybe not.
