Zefir, I'm glad to hear you plan on reselling the chips in smaller quantities. I'm sitting on the edge of my chair waiting to be able to buy a few.

Why pci-e? You dont need such fast communication, and the cooling is worse than the stand alone pcbs.
Probably because a USB design requires an internal µ-controller as a master. If he uses the PCI-e, he'll use the PC as a master saving some HW design. I'm interested in this project and may be able to help. Can we see your KiCad sketches? Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you, I just passed out last night. I'm working on a compiled library of the modules right now (Having to make them all from scratch, as I can't find any pre-made for KiCad, go figure) I'll upload everything to github as soon as I'm done. |

<snip> Are you directing that more towards me or Xenland?  I'm trying to find a way for users to easily send their bitcoins (preferably from within app) and a way for me to reliably know when bitcoins have been received and who to credit them to. Either-or. If you have any programming experience, all you really need is an RPC library for the language in need (Java in the case of Android, and Obj-C for iOS) and an RPC server (Set it up yourself, or use a 3rd-party like blockchain.info). |

OMG SO MUCH BOOTSTRAP! Okay, now that that is out of my system, can I make a few suggestions? - Replace the ">" in your sign up buttons with "<i class="icon-arrow-right"></i>" or basically any glyphicon.
- Reduce the amount of words in your button classes, they aren't text fields. Add some text inline, or a table, or something; just not in the button.
- While a full row on your landing page for a project is nice, you should probably reformat your browse page. We don't want to scroll for years to look through the projects.
- There should be more of a difference on the posting pages (images, descriptions, anything to differentiate what page I'm on)
- Work on your form layouts, there is a whole 12 columns you can use with bootstraps framework, put them to use.
- More padding. The text bumping up against the div boundary on the dashboard, and the loading bar not even a pixel away from the project image, looks very amateur.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, it's just a bit on constructive criticism. |

Essentially it'd be the same code, just different language... or even same language. AFAIK you'd have to still make a web request to your own (or a third party) bitcoind daemon or service, generate an address 'account' for the user and display it or hook their device app that hopefully supports bitcoin:// protocol, or pause the app and copy the address to clipboard for them to task switch over to wallet. There'd maybe be only one more step between your website third party and your own server to store in database the users unique device id and balance with account information so after a confirm you can have it available balance in credits or whatever.
Thanks for describing that approach. I'd like to use a dedicated API rather than my own creation to save time and avoid making mistakes that could cause people to send money to the wrong address or something.  Thanks Xenland, I think your kit may do what I need. Please let me know when your server gets back up. No need to reinvent the wheel. Java has JSON-RPC libraries, and an Authenticator object can be used for authentication to the RPC server. Copy/Pasted from the bitcoin wiki: final String rpcuser ="...";
final String rpcpassword ="...";
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication (rpcuser, rpcpassword.toCharArray());
}
}); A quick google and: https://code.google.com/p/jsonrpc4j/ |

The development board is $13k and includes the software as well to do a complete design. Regarding the cost of silicon, that of course depends on your volumes and schedule. Unit pricing in $3190. Please let me know your volumes and I can provide a budgetary quote.
For my records, if you can provide me with your company name and website, I would appreciate it.
Regards,
Ken Achronix's response on price points. |

Hi guys is it posible, that some perfect inventor make software witch could mine 2 or 3x with the same GPU hardware ? maybe with some new matrix... ?  Not without some amazing math behind it. There are still the inherit limitations of the chips. |

Looking for group buy Stratix V boards to reduce price.
I have to ask... are you on drugs? While the Stratix V chips are nice, and the MH/s/$ is higher for them, your looking at a $4,515/chip starting point, as opposed to the $170/chip starting point for Spartans. We are all on drugs, we don't eat good, we don't drink good. All thing contains drugs. The card costs $4000 for one, so more cards are bought, lower is the price. And probably the hashrate is not poor. I don't think you understand. I'm saying the cost for just the CHIP is $4,515/chip. That doesn't include PCB manufacturing, additional parts, etc. The lowest price anyone could make these for right now is around the $4,750/card range, if your looking at single chip cards. I understand everything. I get little lower prices, so no problem I will buy and build a little rig. But It will stay powered off, because I don't have any bitstram,... I think I'm being troll'd. |

Can it be done? Sure. Will it be faster than GPU/CPU? Probably.
The only problem I see here is that Scrypt is designed to be slow, because of the different conversion and hashes needed to prove the work. This means, to get the most performance out of your FPGAs/ASICs, you would need multiple chips per card.
I'm just now looking into scrypt, and so I can't get very specific on what you would need on a card to make it substantially better than GPUs, but from a cursory glance, FPGAs stand to have a wider gap from GPUs in LTC than they do in BTC.

how many hash could this chips run? 22nm should be fast and low cost power consumption, lets hope the price is reasonable lol .........  Any guess on hash rates right now would be pure speculation based solely on the chips specs. Can I say they will be better than Spartan6's? Most certainly. Will they be worth the price? I guess we will find out, huh? |

I just pointed both of my batch one Avalons at my private pool on my LAN. I also found the 20130410 firmware on the website and installed it. ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#NEXT) Both Avalons are running at 66000 MHash/s and things seem to be working nicely. If you want to check out my eloipool install follow the link in my sig. I'll post updates in this thread. Does anyone know how to calculate the amount of time it should take on average for my pool to find a block? Am I in a mathematically better position than running on a public pool? Even with 2 Avalons, at this difficulty, your better off on a public pool, where your payout will be semi-regular |

Rename it to something like "IPOD_REFORMAT.DAT" or something as well. There have been known to be trojans or virus's that look for "wallet.dat"
I laughed so hard! |

tl;dr
has this been proven to be a scam yet?
Proven? No. Highly Likely? Yes. |

Any devs willing to write mining software for these chips?
I feel like that's a bridge better left crossed after we at least get a price point. |

Nobody who has gone to college as you two have should be making the mistake I've pointed out above, especially one working in the financial field.
May be you need to slow down a bit ? This is an international forum, and English is neither the greatest language of all time, nor the most widely spoken one. Someone having deep knowledge in any field has absolutely nothing to do with English speaking/writing ability. You are a valuable/respected member, so this sort of response from you is unexpected. Please reconsider. , it's not the most spoken, but it is the language used most often in an international business environment. If the mistakes were simple, I would agree that it's not an issue, but these guys want us to give them large amounts of money for promises. I believe that is worth at least the employment of a professionally spoken English PR Rep. Hah! I would doubt how many employees of Avalon would be able to speak/write the level of perfect English you would demand. Anyway, I had to say what I had in mind, but no point in arguing. I have never spoken directly to an Avalon employee. I have, however, read many posts by BitSyncom, the founder of Avalon, who speaks English just fine. KncMiner.com, however, can't even be bothered to have the text on their site combed over by a fluent English speaker, as demonstrated on their product page. Run-on sentences, coma splices, hell, they couldn't even be bothered to capitalize the first word in every sentence. Gammar nazi caught with your/you're? Seriously? :-) So I'm lazy? Agreed. Guilty as charged; take me away officer ;P |
