Just got an email with my tracking number but they sent it EMS instead of DHL as requested  Hope it gets here in one piece Congratulations! When you've placed your order? Feb 2 Don't congratulate me. I won't ever receive the unit, and if I do it will be damaged. One of the following things will happen: Best case scenario: The unit gets here in 3-4 months and I pay 200% of the declared 1500$ value in taxes (customs corruption at EMS) Second to worst case scenario: China is currently in a territorial dispute with the country I live in. I would not be surprised if EMS workers on either side intentionally damage the unit. Worst case scenario: The unit gets here in 3-4 months, I have to pay 200% of the declared value in taxes AND it's unusably damaged. Then there's also a possibility it will just be stolen with them (customs or EMS workers) thinking its a computer. It clearly says on my order "DHL". Here's hoping that my emails and support requests to avalon that i sent in don't fall on deaf ears . Please dont ship my order via EMS. Wouldve had the unit before friday if it was shipped via DHL as requested ;(. Sigh. The most utterly depressing outcome for a 4 month wait of my entire life. .. Avalon batch 2 with shipping number to no where for sale. |

Я хотел бы выработать договор на покупку, когда устройства доступны (после существующих заказов заполнен, что достаточно для вафельных перспективе.)
Спасибо.
(К сожалению, Google Translate.)
Выработать договор не получится, так как по совету юристов metabank.ru не будет его предоставлять. То есть все на честном слове. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209230.msg2191243#msg2191243 Странно! Спасибо за информацию. Будет MetaBank быть поставщиком устройства кремния и печатной платы устройства? Или просто печатной платы устройства. Мы искали исключительно кремний устройства. Есть сообщение, что объяснить связь со всеми сторонами (Bitfury, MetaBank и т.д.)? Кому будет принадлежать интеллектуальная собственность кремниевого устройства? Кто бы лучше, чтобы связаться только для чипов? Спасибо. |

Троллинг это хорошо, развивает эрудицию. Но на мой предыдущий вопрос кто нибудь ответит?
Как быть тем, у кого инет слабый? С ними разработчики чудо-устройств думают считаться?
У меня инет слабый - и 190 Gh/s прекрасно шло через stratum. Не проблема. Хоть 100 TH/s - по стратуму - ~1-2 kb/s :-) А bitcoind все равно надо ставить на машинах и каналах потолще. Как скоро, пока вы не готовы говорить с другими в отношении покупки? Я послал вас электронной почты и номер запроса, пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной если таковые имеются. Я хотел бы выработать договор на покупку, когда устройства доступны (после существующих заказов заполнен, что достаточно для вафельных перспективе.) Спасибо. (К сожалению, Google Translate.) |

yeah, It looks like that because of the flash of my camera. But It was dark dust, I used a duster to clean it and became dirty entirely of grey/dark dust. here: http://postimg.org/image/lxxfwj3hx/It would have had to of been running for a significant time to build up that level of dust. |

So people who ordered after me are having their units shipped? Awesome.
To bad they didn't actually save my phone number, there's still no place to put it in the billing site.. But I put in a support ticket like 2 months ago containing my phone number, all info, etc, of course that's never been answered or replied to. Maybe if they answered their support tickets before checking who does or does not have a phone number. But why do that when you can just ignore them?

Have you tested the code on windows? Having a hell of a time trying to get mining. Weird. I have tested it on Cygwin, using Python 2.7. Maybe Python 3 doesn't like the code? Working perfectly under cygwin with py 2.7, thank you. |

I've been asked a few times about a mining script for the current KC705 firmware. I wrote a plugin for Modular Python Bitcoin Miner. Here's the message I sent to someone about it: I uploaded the custom MBPM module, which is compatible with the current KC705 mining code, here: https://mega.co.nz/#!Oh5HTDRB!C0RLYW4yZN8gbg38FfgLpzmKFcseOql3Xx1i_gXTfdMYou'll want to download a copy of MPBM's testing branch. Then extract the above archive into Code: modules/fpgamining such that you end up with: Code: modules/fpgamining/kc705_uart/__init__.py modules/fpgamining/kc705_uart/kc705uartworker.py Once you start MPBM, you can now add a KC705 Worker by openning up the MPBM web-interface ( http://127.0.0.1:8832) and clicking the "Workers" button on the left. On Windows, I ran MPBM under Cygwin, and the "Port" ended up being /dev/com2 for me. The Baudrate is 115200. ~fpgaminer I haven't had a chance to clean it up and put it on the repo yet. Have you tested the code on windows? Having a hell of a time trying to get mining. Tried as best I could without knowing python to get it running without much success. First was getting a ton of indentation errors. PyWin editor was telling me 1/2 the code was not idented properly. Think I fixed those successfully; now getting the following errors. Any idea? I was thinking it was a result of my python setup in windows [since another user was able to get it running under linux on the VC707]. Tried 3.3 and 3.2 with same errors on both. 2013-05-11 00:10:32.222 [100] KC705: Traceback (most recent call last):

Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
I run "./_launchpool" based on your instructions, but it shown the error message "Illegal instruction". So, I checked the content of file "_launchpool" and then run "./eloipool.py" seperately. That is to say, config.py should already be made by "./_launchpool".
If you have interest to have a check I could pm you the root message of my server .
Strange, did you run launchpool after downloading the image, first thing? The only other thing I can think is some sort of corruption. |
|
|

Anyone run eloipool successfully with this image ? When I try to run eloipool I got the following error: eloipool@mypool ~/bin $ ./eloipool.py
Illegal instruction
I'm guessing you didn't run the launcher as per the instructions; so the configuration file is malformed because the launcher hasnt yet made the config file. |

This is a DSP48E1 based design, and I have compiled and run it at 400MH/s.
Have you done any testing as to which adders provide the best increase to the fmax? In order to get multiple cores in there going to need to pick and choose which adders to replace with dsps and which not to. I'm currently at 66% LUT usage with 99% memory LUT and 108% dsp usage with 2 unrolled cores (I had one core do even nonces while the other does odd nonces to make life easy). I've been slowly working down the number of dsps utilized per core to make it fit. I'm thinking it might be possible to get 3 full cores on the A7 200. Does the DSP performance increase compound? If I change one adder over to DSP utilization and it gives a 10% fmax increase... would changing additional adders down the chain affect that 10%? or will that one adder always give a 10% boost? I'm wondering if it will be possible to go through the adders one by one and calculate the increase in frequency for each one to find which adders would be the most effectively utilized under DSP48 blocks to get the best timing. |

that's outside my budget pricing.. would be nice though
if i can get a cheap and nasty going, getting half a dozen coins over the next few months, then i will get one
My biggest problem was software. If you're going for used chips, make sure whatever chip you buy has free development software for it. Wanting licensed software for a dev board is one of the reason I bought the kit. |

I have just pushed the experimental KC705 code to the repo.
Thanks! I ordered my AC701 today. I'm playing with the eval software now. The clocks run a little bit slower than the Kintex line, but it has nearly as many DSPs as the chip you're using. I have high hopes for a minimum of 600Mh/s and shooting for 800Mh/s. Initial compile showing 92% dsp usage, 43% lut usage, 67% memory lut usage and a clock of 345mhz or so. Should be able to squeeze another core in there. I was wondering, did it really take them 2 weeks to process & ship your unit to you after ordering? That's a big yes. They're not going to ship my card for 2 weeks after ordering . Maybe they've got a large order queue? Maybe each card is made to order? no idea. Seems a rather long time to wait though. AJR, If you're going to get into it I would highly recommend you get the 705 or the 701. http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/EK-K7-KC705-G.htmhttp://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/EK-A7-AC701-G.htmThe 705 will have room for more hashers, but I believe the Artix chip may be more cost effective. |

If I were you I would unscrew and remove any damaged "blades" (i can see at least 4 with missing components). Then go through the modules one by one to see what will has and what not. Your biggest problem will be if the controller was damaged. If the controller is undamaged you should be ok to keep the working modules and send back the non working ones. If it was damaged you'll need to send it all back in.
Also, was this a batch 2 order?

-3 speed grade?
Whatever the highest speed grade available is I would assume. I haven't asked what the speed grade of the kit was. |

Ended up getting an ML605 because they had a few of those laying around, and I want to learn verilog a bit first before moving to the bigger boards like the 707
The 7xx series boards use the newer 28nm chip versus the ML605 which uses an older 45nm (iirc) chip. But you can't complain with free. ML605 will still get a few hashes. Did they give you software as well? |
