I hope not! well marked packages usually breeze through

#13X starter kit, flat fee : no news yet

This is sounding good though! I just hope flat fee shipping can beat the weekend!

NOTE TO DAVE: is there a mid-tier shipping level to Canada that will take less than 4 business days? I would hate it if the flat fee takes more mining profit away from a starter kit then I could mine over 6-7 days

how about all 3 for 0.52? I am near Jameson Ave and the Gardiner

I am looking to get between 2-5 usb block erupters with shipping to Toronto (or in-person), and will pay no more than 0.19BTC per unit (I am looking for 5/0.75 BTC)

Pm me

even so, avalon chips are almost 70% of the cost. In any case an update would be nice, though the blame is clearly on avalon

he said that the 400GH kit would be split as 2 8-board kits (each probably coming with 2 extra boards for hashrate correction), so you are actually getting an m-board and RPi for free if im not mistaken. that sounds better then the lonely extra 15Gh the starters get

thanks for the update! Will starter kits be seeing 35-40ghash total like the punin customers? Also, can you add any info for the basic shipping to canada? its been brought up a few times but i dont think there has been a firm answer

Getting slightly concerned, hasn't it been about 48hrs since update, and no pictures yet?

Obviously i prefer he be assembling and testing, rather then busy on the forums, but I think that if things are where they are implied to be (m-board and h-boards in hand, in assembly, and with at least 6 orders marked 'shipped'), it would be comforting to see it confirmed, along with a picture of at least a few units running simultaneously.

I consider the August delivery met if there are tracking numbers provided on Tuesday, but missing a pre-order estimate by a less than a week would be very acceptable considering the examples of other companies. I am just a bit worried about how much potential 'testing to the 100TH mine pool' there would be facing Dave over a long weekend like this

Update soon i hope! (no BFL 'tm' intended)

i have an order with them, so i dont want them to wait :p

bitfury europe units are arriving, the 200TH mine is quickly ramping up to spec, and the north american bitfury is in assembly/testing phase (another pile of TH)

there is other equipment available now that has a better ability to make a profit, as well as the fact that the produced K16s will be marked waay down in the near future (think asicminer)

Im in a similar boat as you, but a refund would be faster and better to re-invest in a gen2 product

If there is a chance for this GB to refund, count me in Otherwise, I just hope to have my K16 (i only got one) ASAP so i can mine at least 50% back

I have seen reports that certain FPGA bitstreams (TML and/or bitfury) allow higher clock speeds and/or higher hashrates coming out, in the range of a 20% increase.

can anyone point me in the right direction or confirm this? For whatever reason my FPGA cards report:

44.6 C   212MHz   211.6Mh/s
31.4 C   216MHz   214.9Mh/s
43.0 C   208MHz   206.5Mh/s

the middle card's heatsink feels the warmest, so im not sure if the temperature reading is a bit low, or if the heatsink is seated really well. In either case, why is cgminer not setting a higher clock on this card? The total hashrate is 630 average over 24hrs, so perhaps that is a limit set in the bitsteam?

about time for an update from Dave, isn't it? Ideally, he should have all the boards in assembly and testing phase at this point

USB 3.0 is 12V 3A = 36W is more than enough

1) LED on the card (in slot 2) stays on after programming
2) issue is with the card and not the position (i moved to slot 4)
3) power is not the issue - i removed 2 other cards

CGminer reports only 3/4 cards or 1/2 cards, and the led stays on, so the issue is definitely the card. As mentioned, it visually looks fine, fan spins up alright and no resistors are chipped or missing.

If you have any other suggestions id love to hear them! Could i perhaps use the reset button on the baseboard or reprogram the firmware to get a result, or is this just an issue that is likely the FPGA chip itself?

additionally, the unit will run if only slotspositions 1,3,and 4 are filled correct? (it runs the 3 working cards fine when the bad card is in slot 2, but its only in at the moment because of the cool leds) UPDATE: looks like slot 1&2 are a bank, and 3&4 are a bank, because putting the bum card in slot 3 causes slot 4 to not be seen by cgminer

what if 3 cards work, and the 4th card lights up (the card's led, not the fan obviously) but is not recognised? All resistors look good, is the chip just bad/burnt maybe?

how much are the cards? (not for myself, but just a general valuation). I would consider letting this 3-card unit (plus 4th non-functional card) go for 1.75BTC or a good offer.

all the above questions, but for shipping to Canada (Toronto, ON). It makes no real sense for me to pay $199 for a starter to arrive a few days earlier when (for example) 3 days of mining sooner will earn less than $100

however, i am really interested to know how it will ship to canada using the default 'flat fee', my dream is to have it by next weekend to add to my modminer quad

whats the lowest order number? I am #13X for a starter kit and an october board

I am itching to have this in my hands ASAP, while profit still exists!

same task being given to multiple chips and/or waiting for repeats of the result? sounds like the isue relates to how the chips are being sent commands
