AS for ROI... same for all those USBs, ASIC Blades etc. You dont see them not selling. If you dont like the price, please feel free to move
on. Good luck on sales. You'll always catch some people unable to do math  |

Good luck, you'll need it.

Update on refunds:
We will issue the 100,- Euro refund per board / 600,- Euro for 8 board unit. Refunds will be processed as soon as our PayPal account has been unblocked (currently all funds are held hostage by PayPal, even for refunds). Why anyone these days dares to use PayPal for any serious trading activity with their propensity for freezing accounts left and right for months on end, escapes me completely. If this is true, you've been huge morons to trust that shithole of a company. Don't tell me you funneled _all_ your money to PayPal account... |

This is not something that takes a lot of time / work to provide. Unlike designing, building and shipping boards, all that is required here is for one of your staff to send refunds of €100 per board refund to each customer who has requested one. I'm not sure how many customers you have, but I suspect it could be completed in a few hours (or maybe a day or so if you have a lot of customers). It should be a relatively quick job, sure. That is, unless the intention was to never actually give any refund. Maybe that was just a ploy to get more sales... "look, we're so sure of the performance, here's a guarantee! buy buy buy!" |

Despite all my efforts the Paypal Account is still locked, i have not received a single penny from any sale that was paid by PayPal.
I sent them a list of the remaining orders that applied for a refund, those should receive their money very soon. This worries me, as PayPal is notorious for holding people's money hostage for months, or more, for unspecified reasons usually. Hope you get the funds released - if not, it's time to sue them. I have not yet received the payment from cryptx. This worries me even more. If they prove to be cheats, do you have their personal details to forward to the police? |

Claimed they were confiscated in customs,
Source? YiFuck himself stated that. Go check his posting history, cba to search through his garbage myself. |

It seems that the USB is really poor soldered, but till now nothing broke. I am getting about 380GH with 8 boards .... Next thing is that somehow boards are stopping regulary (nearly every 5-10h) & can`t find the solution till now - on some starts there are massive USB errors what end in an crash of cgminer. I noticed the bad soldering quality as well, as I've mentioned earlier. Not good for a 700 euro product - also the hashrate is far from promised. My stack of 4 boards has luckily been stable once I've got it running. Might help that I'm feeding it cool air to begin with (~5 deg C), so board temps are sub-50. If you get USB errors on starting, turn off power for the whole stack for 10 seconds, then power them back on. That gets mine running after the USB errors. What`s again (not) funny that the settings for 8 boards are not working - you will need the settings for 4 boards & cgminer will recognize boards correct.... but far away from the promised hashrate. When using settings for 8 - same USB errors are coming up as happening on some fresh starts of raspberry pi & 8x bitburner fury connected via CAN bus cable. Sometimes it happens that from the full stack only the single board that is connected by USB starts hashing, and the rest of the boards don't do a thing, even though the yellow comms led blinks every now and then. I have to power cycle the whole stack when that happens. Looks like firmware error - maybe the "controlling" board doesn't detect the rest on CAN bus correctly or something. |

By the way thanks for the advice on soldering the usb port You're welcome! It's just a quick hack job, really, to keep the thing from falling apart. I was just lucky to receive boards which didn't need actual trace soldering/repair (which is hard-ish at this pitch). The most important thing (which the shop that handled the cryptx manufacturing has missed) is to keep the board at elevated temperature (near solder melting temperature, really) to avoid the solder just balling up and not flowing to the nooks and crannies it's supposed to go to. If the board conducts heat quickly and is cold, the solder will harden before setting well and you get cold joints, which are very apparent in the build "quality" of these boards. An amateurish mistake, or cheap labour... take your pick. |

i would ask all people which are having problems with usb connector and low speed and payed via paypal to start a claim - so paypal will see that it is a mass-problem and not an single issue i produced. i got an answer on my paypal claim: cryptx writes that i want a complete refund because the market grows to fast and i didnt get ROI. but no word to the usb problem also no word about 100€ refund.
great. what's the first step ? Open https://www.paypal.com/ in your browser... |

I got an email reply from Joeri at cryptx.com and said person indicated you only want the jumpers on the board that is furthest away from the USB connected board (to TERMINATE the CAN-BUS). IOW you only want the J7 and J8 jumpers on the LAST CAN-BUS connected board but not on the others. That person isn't correct. You need terminators at both ends of the CAN bus. From http://www.ni.com/white-paper/9759/en/: For high-speed CAN, both ends of the pair of signal wires (CAN_H and CAN_L) must be terminated. This is because communication flows both ways on the CAN bus. For low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN, each device on the network needs a termination resistor for each data line: R(RTH) for CAN_H and R(RTL) for CAN_L. Unlike the high-speed CAN termination, low-speed CAN requires the termination to be on the transceiver rather than on the cable. The CAN "flavour" in use here is most likely a high-speed CAN, so terminators are needed at both ends. Take note that the jumpers aren't the terminators itself, but they connect an inline resistor, aka. terminator, which are on the boards already. |

So I finally received my order. CAN-bus connection works after flashing the latest firmware, and all boards are hashing, average of 46 Gh/s per board with 47/282 and 1300mV. I'm seeing 4-5% hardware errors, temp hovers around 45 degrees C (input air ~5 deg C).
The build quality is so-so. USB ports have been re-soldered and seem to hold in place, but I'm still being careful with them. PCIe power connectors are firmly in place, but the green power terminal connectors are badly soldered. I had to fix 3 of them right off the bat because of cold solder joints. Also other through hole component soldering isn't that well done. Looks like an amateurish job.
Verdict: bad overall quality for a 700 euro item. Hashing well below what was promised, so I'll be asking for the refund of 100 euro per board. I wouldn't expect a firmware update alone could make these work at 64+ GH/s, sadly. How did you re-solder the usb ports ? None of mine were ripped off, so it was just to make sure they won't do that. Procedure: heat gun to the back of the board to heat the area well (so solder will flow better and not just ball up) - the boards are quite efficient heat sinks. Then I applied some good (old!) leaded solder to the sides of the connector with a temp-controlled soldering iron @320 deg C. Then I left the board to cool, and added epoxy glue to the sides of the connectors as well, being careful to not get it inside. |

@cryptx when will the refunds which have already been requested be completed pls? At this rate, the 100 eur discount that probably should be default by now, won't be enough to cover the losses of more delays... |

Cryptx - when are you going to pay the 100 € /Board ? Well, cryptx? Are you gonna show your true colours here? |

Respectfully, ProfMac, I don't understand why you keep endorsing Avalon after all the bullshit the liars and cheats managed to conjure up. Avalon destroyed their image all by themselves - let them also try to build their image back all by themselves.
There really is no point in trying to "help" them in any way. They don't deserve that. All the respect they built by being the first successful ASIC company in this niche is dead, gone and buried. Let the dead horse be lest you zombify it further.

We'll get a bumper sticker with "YIFU for President" and a very cute fluffy toy to pet so we can soothe ourselves. Also the toy is loaded with good Chi, hugs and kisses. Also kittens and rainbows.

Yup, Fan only for every 2nd board. If ordered just one board - is there no fan included???
Wtf, I presumed that this was just a slightly dodgy translation and that a fan, mounting brackets and standoffs would be provided for the first of every two boards (as I believe was the case for the bitburnerXX). How can you charge 900 Euro for a highly overclocked board without including a 10 Euro fan and 1 Euro worth of mounting brackets and standoffs ? We've got a stack of 120 and 140mm fans lying around, but none of the 90mm?? fans or correctly sized mounting brackets to make this into the neat little solution that it should be. Sorry guys, I'm trying to stay positive here, but this just seems to be unnecessary penny pinching. 1 word: greed. |

256 is not a valid octet in an IP address. Try something like 200. Range in an IPv 4 address is 0-255. Yes, but the last address (.255) is the network's broadcast address. Don't set your machine's IP to that  |
