Nothing here either, scrambled to get that payment together and nothing back. Its near the end of the day in China, and its taken so long I've now missed it getting in before the weekend. Byebye $400 :/
It's not 6PM in China yet. They can still send it today. We had many times of sending the blades out in 8-10 o'clock in the evening. A lot of blades to be shipped later today.  |

This is the official info thread of ASICMINER Blade sales for remaining interested miners after three successful auctions. First https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178275.0Second https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189248.0Third https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201753.0Spec Hashrate: baseline 10GHash/s, rated 10.752GHash/s, maximum 12.829GHash/s with overclocking and proper cooling Power Consumption: 70-75W on 1.03-1.05V, 83W on 1.1V, 100W on 1.2V, 120W on 1.2V and overclocking Hasher size: 233mm x 116mm with a 227mm x 100mm x 19mm heat sink attached to its back Power module size: 192mm x 89mm Ethernet controller size: 86mm x 40mm Picture Complete Albumhttp://imgur.com/a/PkOcu#0Online User Guide Purchasing Pricing: retail price 49.99 BTC each, 48.99 each if quantity >= 10 in a single order, 47.99 each if quantity >= 20 in a single order. Contact: Please send mail to ( asicminer.blades@gmail.com) about the quantity, your postal address, zip code and telephone number. PM to friedcat(this account) or fnnirvana@gmail.com about this sales thread may be ignored. Shipping: DHL for international, SF-Express for China. Notes 1. Fans are not accompanied with blades anymore. They were more or less intended to serve as a help of quick setup and mining testing for users who haven't got proper cooling yet, but turns out to be quite misleading by making people think the fans are powerful enough to cool the (already)over-voltaged and (easily)over-clocked blades. 2. To make the whole shipping process smooth enough, no more racks are given out or for sales. As a compensate we practice the bulk price discount as shown above. 3. Please be aware that the payment processing and shipping will be less prioritized than the remaining orders in the third auction. It may be 1-2 days less timely before the third auction's shipping is completed. After that it will resume the instant-style speed. |

I would like to know what happens if one chip on the pcb is broken. I heard from another asicboard that is developing now that the asics are chained, so one broken one will make all chips useless. Is it the same with asicminer-boards or are they constructed another way?
It depends how broken they are. If it's just a normal dysfunctional nonce calculation scenario, the last chip on our board could run till the end of the world even if the other 31 chips are broken. And I believe it is the same with chained design. But if one of the chips are seriously damaged. Our board does not work with chips having inner short-cuts, while chained design does not work with chips having inner disconnections. Both could be solved by a set of wire jumpers and an equivalent resistor though, but they introduce extra complexity to the board and do not always work. |

If the demand continues to pressure we will open for more slots than 50.
The production line is already very smooth for quantity shipping.

one question: still free shipping and will be shipped soon after the payment is made?
Yes. |

(1) are they interruptible (sending down a new work unit discards the one in progress immediately) to minimize stales? This is a headache with my BFL FPGAs.
Yes they are - sending down a new work unit discards the one in progress immediately (2) If not interrupted, will they scan the entire noncerange or abort after hitting a share?
(3) Do they report found shares immediately or at the end of the work?
They will continue to scan the entire range, every nonce found is sent back immediately. (4) Do they implement notification on exhausting the noncerange without finding a share?
No - it will simply time out and be idle - you will have to send a new job before it times out. |

My blade started rebooting this day about every two hours. The power board is about 70C. Set clock to low to see what happens.
Should not be a pool problem. I have a fallback pool and every time I notice the blade has rebooted the pool is switched too. Seems the blade stops hashing, then switches pool, then rebootes, then hashes normally for some time.
This is wierd. My blade stops hashing exactly after 57 min 30 sec then swithces pool (with no hashing) then reboots. It happened 5 times in a row now. exactly 57 min 30 sec. Is it firmware bug? We will check the firmware. But more likely it's the problem with the pool/proxy because it's too regular. Please try using a different one. Also, 70C on the power module is a bit too high. The heatsink of our hashing board could safely heated up to >70C, but we haven't tested 70C on the power module yet. |

Update
A lot of great thing happened last week. We wiped over the obstacles (infrastructure and paperwork) on deploying and put a lot of our available hashrate online. We also did a significant improvement (power, design, appearance) on the USB stick from the sample batch to the production batch.
For the discussion in the last few days, what we... I could say, is only that our IC design team had achieved fantastic results, as everyone could see and compare, with the most limited funds (barely more than 100k$ raised last August) and most inferior mask-set of choice (130nm which belongs to the antiquity era), and I'm proud of it.

Thought it was 80 odd watts at low clock and stock voltage?
As I posted earlier mine are 480W for 4, including fans. The fans are 0.17A @ 12v, so 2W * 6 fans, call that 12W.
I reckon I'm getting about 90% efficiency out of the CPU (65% load or so, so should be near its peak efficiency).
So 48W burnt by the PSU and 12W for fans leaves 105 watts per blade for me.
The voltage of the 50 blade batch is not stock voltage (1.05V) any more. It is pre-turned to 1.20V for the ease of overclocking (just one click on the website without screwing first). But if you do not need overclocking, you may want to screw them to 1.03-1.05V to reduce a lot of heat and (hence) the noise of bigger fans. |

THIS HEAT SHALL NOT DEFEAT ME. Ordered 4x120mm 100CFM fans + a controller, will remount for the third time in an even more heat friendly configuration. Noticed something really weird and very unsettling though.
I'm drawing 262W for 2 units + 500W PSU 80+ PSU, 230V. So assuming worst case PSU is at 80% and burning 52W.
So raw board + fans of 210W. Each small fan is just over 1W, and assume the large but rubbish ones are 2.5W.
Thats 195W of power draw from 2 boards. I thought we were expecting low 80s for overclocked clocks? Something seems wrong here.
Our experiment data: 70-75W on 1.03-1.05V (no overclock) 83W on 1.10V (no overclock) ~100W on 1.20V (no overclock) ~120W on 1.20V (overclock) |

Mine seem to max out around 11.5GH each.. i checked the voltage and they're all at ~1.20-1.23V, clock setting: High
For the people that are seeing 13GH, have you done anything different or tweaked anything in your setup?
is that 13GH on the web blade web interface? or as reported by your pool?
I also noticed a serious difference between slush pool results and bitminter with getwork. Former goes up to 13 GH/s the latter 3 GH/s, while bitminter does report 10 GH/s. So try with a stratum proxy and different pools. I don't want to fiddle with the overclocking just yet, I'll let a braver man lead the way there. seems like second auction round blades been shipped overclocked yes they were.. I can confirm.. every power channel on all 5 of mine was pre-set to 1.20V-1.23V. (measured myself) Friedcat: if we have sufficient cooling, how high can we go before they start having problems? It can be pushed to 13.44GH/s with 1.25V, but that's on a test board with a 15MH/s oscillator. The stock board uses 12MH/s (10.752GH/s) and 14.318MH/s (12.829GH/s) and both are fixed oscillators. |

Anyone have issues with their board resetting all the time according to the web interface? I'm lucky for it to stay on for more than 15 minutes before it drops and resets.
The boards reset when there are period of time during which not enough shares are accepted. So there must be problem either with the network setting or the board itself. Please first try using a backup proxy/port/userpass combination that is different to the primary one. Also please check the hashrate reported by the web interface. If there are further problem, please contact me. |

Yes thats my understanding too, new ethernet and new power when available, not sure what advantage they might bring.
If it means sending my old boards back and waiting for ones I reckon I'll just pass, the lost hashing time probably won't be worth it.
Old power module and ethernet controller needs not to be returned. |

wait - so, if they'll run without the heatsinks, why did you make/order heatsinks that we now have to pay for?
The heatsink costs $0.1 or so and mitigates the temperature from the hashing IC. The IC works fine on high temperature but it may hurt the fingers if accidentally touched at its back. |
