Nope, we're still working up the final design. For the time being, the best bet is probably gonna be talking to the gigampz guy. Interest is growing so it's possible we'll manufacture, but selling would be at least a month out.

Garden-fresh produce, eh Raskul? Don't tear those up too much, I might want some.
Also, is this the appropriate forum? Seems this is more fitting for the buy/sell.

So uh, so when do we get to see the Vcore/GH curve?
It might be misleading to post it for the BE300S if he thinks that they're going to be significantly different than BE300 - which its suggested it will be. Right, but at least it'd be a good starting point. We have really good data on expected W/GH at various GH setpoints, but without knowing either the I or the V, the W is basically useless except for cooling concerns and overarching "efficiency" marketability. Sure we can plan heatsinks, but not string lengths or VRM outputs or anything. Even in accurate data is still data. |

We have some controllers that are CrazyGuy's leftovers from hosting, ask him and he might sell you one we can ship out. Or grab one of Novak's USB adapters in the group buys and run it off cgminer.

Should they start advertising porn on SP20 sites then?

Heck yeah. PCB costs would suck but I would totally build a miner with DIP. BGA, not so much.
The backward compatibility idea was pretty great, especially when they open-sourced BE200 design, because a lot of folks were working on stuff hoping they'd be able to reuse the same design. Would have been nice, and I'm glad they at least tried to make it happen.

Eh, he's not the only one thinking it. They handed out what, 10 of them? So we're about to have 10 different review threads flopping around for the same product. A consolidated thread with all ten reviews would be nice and organized, but not allow Q&A. But ten independent threads is gonna mean a lot of overlap and wasted space. Advertisement by saturation.

We're still selling from standing stock. All boards and cable lengths are available. We're also able to do custom-option cables (wire lengths, spade/strip terminations) with a couple days' lead time.
Additionally, some news. How much interest is there in DPS-800GBA and DPS-1200FBA PSU interface boards? We've got a working prototype for a single board that works with either PSU, but we need to be sure there's enough interest to merit building it. Expected per-board retail probably around $35 plus shipping. We'll probably be adding a 5VDC line to it, with a USB plug for powering Pis and such, but that feature might not be in the base price (probably add about $3 for parts and labor).

You got BA bitfury boards? Got my attention. I tried to pick some of those up this summer when Minersource was unloading, and they disappeared too quickly.

There's info enough on the DIY, but he's got 'em priced pretty reasonable in the Group Buy. Looks like he just finished testing a bunch of 'em, probably ship orders out tomorrow. We've got some Prismas in hosting running off stock AM USB adapters and they're a heck of a lot better than the AM BE controllers.

Yeah sorry again about the delay, wallet issues and such. Held up a couple transactions but everything's good now. The units are hashing away as advertised.

It's a USB adapter to run Tubes or Prismas off a standard host controller like a laptop, Pi or beaglebone, running cgminer on any pool, instead of AM's BlockErupter controllers with no failover options and a broken stratum implementation.
Basically he's making them because they're hard to get from ASICMiner.

I'd consider a "desktop miner" as something that could run off a DC brick. Likely a USB cord, possibly its own ethernet connection, but if it requires enough power that an ATX or something is required it's past the cutoff for me.
|

That's sort of the design we're toying with, configurable strings that can be tied together. Our idea is, each module could be run as an independent consumer miner or they could be lumped together into a bigger unit.

If AM doesn't do it, someone else could. With low power density and over-heatsinking comes very quiet miners that probably won't burst into flames.

Pictures shows Icarus board, 1st version of FPGA miner from ngzhang. 160$ IMHO is not worth it now. It even can't be used as evaluation board becuse there's not many I/O pins routed. Lancelot is better in that matter. At the time I purchased it BTC was 5$, so cost was 500$. In terms of $ I achieved ROI, in terms of BTC I'm not. I knew that ROI will be very difficult but I wanted to learn HDL language and that was cheap compared to other development boards with FPGA so rich with "gates".
Well, the first line in the listing is "Lancelots are out of stock, we're selling Icarus instead". I also like that the title lists it as a "botcion miner". Thanks guys. How does the Lancelot or Icarus board's FPGA compare to this guy's, in terms of capability and repurposing? http://www.ebay.com/itm/281510660471 |

Indeed, good news. When can we expect chip documentation, voltage requirements and such?
