Once these vendors get the pre-order money flowing they stop communicating in any meaningful way(or outright lying). This has been the case with bfl, avalon, & btcfpga...only time will tell if knc will be any different.

I wouldn't be so certain. Bitfury for August delivery was priced at 22k and then 19.25k. Many companies are claiming they're bringing products to market in Q4 and ASICMiner has hundreds of Th/s to deploy if they're to stick to their schedule. December delivery is too late to have much pricing power in this environment, but how many pre-order investors will recognize that?

Cheers.

I'll send you .3BTC, gimme a minute. Repayment address is in my sig.

Cheers.

...and your PSUs will thank you for the cooler air.

Indeed. They'd also be excluded from receiving dividend payments if they were returned to the issuing account.

A public account holding the shares would be a better solution.

Preferred treatment for bulk orders I could understand, but preferred treatment without sending funds? Say it ain't so Dave.

Probably just the kind of squabble a feller recovering from the flu was hoping for too.

Early results from our batch 3 Avalon. After 6h46m17s the #s are:

111269 Avg Mh/s(This is unreliable)
10073 HW Errors
24.7930 HW Errors/Minute
1.6734% HW Error Rate
Utility 45.81
DiffA 601937
DiffA/Minute = 1481.5695(shares/minute)

The rig is stock, I simply opened it up and connected the big Antec 1300w platinum, which of course has to be outside the case as it won't fit within. I've had it set for auto overclock and 90% fan speed nearly since I got it set up. The speed has slowly ramped from 325Mhz to 361Mhz and then reset back to 325 on at least two occasions that I've observed. This is different than the restarts the older units display in that it's not restarting cgminer. Overall I'd say the performance is solid. I suspect it could benefit from increased airflow, but probably won't speed up significantly. The shares/minute stat has been steadily rising so I wouldn't be surprised if we level off above 1500/min, which is very respectable.

Cheers.

Edit: After 19h35m16s:

Hi lunarboy, yeah I saw it. Another potential vendor generously offloading the risks associated with chip development to investors that think they're customers. You'd think the pre-order model would be played out by now.

Cheers.

bASIC-Mining's batch 3 arrived today with firmware revision 20130723 installed, it overclocks well.

It's $7k for 400Gh/s from knc vs $8k here. Everyone will have to draw their own conclusion as to which is "better" and/or most likely to be delivered on schedule and meet their specs.

Thank you both for the vote of confidence, it's much appreciated.

Cheers.

Very nice. You can count on my vote to approve when it's unlocked. I've no doubt you'll be just as trustworthy and diligent with this offering as you have with all your others. Good luck with this!

Indeed, DHL was really fast.


The hashrate numbers displayed on the stats page should be taken with a grain of salt, but the rig has overclocked itself to 360Mhz right at this moment which is performance equaled only by our batch 1 unit. I'm collecting data points for a proper DiffA/Time performance evaluation.

Cheers.

Grats Jeff, enjoy!

Ty, welcome aboard Pompobit. My management style is a bit too conservative for some it seems, but I would hope my choices make sense over time. There are a whole lot of icebergs out there to navigate around.

Cheers.

Our BFL gear seems to be enjoying the cool evenings. This winter could be very interesting.

Thanks! Always good to hear.

Surely you jest sir. Between directly mining and shipped blades ASICMiner is surely responsible for the largest portion of that increase. Avalon hasn't been exactly twiddling their thumbs either as their batch 3 is currently in mass shipping.

Hi djjacket. Officially I would answer that question by citing Avalon's website and extrapolating 4 module performance.


http://launch.avalon-asics.com/

65 / 3 = 21.67 * 4(modules) = 86.67 Gh/s.

Unofficially I'd be disappointed if I couldn't squeeze a bare minimum of 100Gh/s out of the beastie.

Cheers.
