According out our order queue, the chips should have arrived last week.  We have not received them yet.  As soon as they arrive, we will post an update in this thread.

All of the boards, harnesses, heatsinks, etc.. are ready to go.  Once the chips arrive, assembly of the miners will begin asap.

Thank you for reaching out!

Thanks for reaching out.

What is the price of your miner?: 90 BTC

Do you accept USD ?:  Yes, we accept international wire transfers and Dwolla.  Please login and/or register and checkout this page for more details: http://kraterminer.com/kraterminer.php

What's the delivery date if I order tomorrow?: All of the components, boards, harnesses, heatsinks, etc are ready to go.  We're just waiting on the chips to arrive from Avalon, which should be soon.  If the chips arrive soon, we should be shipping in mid-late August.

Hope that helps, and feel free to contact us at anytime with any other questions.  You can reach us via email kratermining@gmail.com or by phone (440) 391-9651

Ended up figuring it out.  When running


Centos ignores the environment variables.  Added


in the sudoers file and it worked.  *Note: working on making the file without sudo command.

Not yet.  The chips should be in later this week or next week.

Sorry for the delay.  Correct, we are not offering hosting at this time.

For a little background, I cloned the repo from here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin and am running the following command:


The above command is being run from /bitcoin/src/

 I'm trying to install bitcoind on a Centos server.  Am following instructions from here: http://www.ripplex.biz/blog/compiling-bitcoin-on-centos-v6-4.  And am getting this error: " openssl/crypto.h: No such file or directory" Any idea as to what is going on?

The price in USD will be equivalent to the current price of 90 BTC.

Our chips should be in by the end of this week or next week.  All of the boards and components are ready to go, so as soon as the chips arrive, assembly will begin.

Crazy earner, the email is kratermining@gmail.com not kraterminer. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks again for your input, all of it is very important to us.

We have to be honest when it came down to the initial price we've posted. We've been so focused on the production of the units, getting a working prototype, developing the website and everything else that goes into a project like this, that it came to the last minute of launching the website and we were still very undecided about the final listed price of our units. We have been re-evaluating the cost all along regardless of what has been said on here. Obviously, we want to make a profit... we did indeed put lots of time, effort, and money in to this project. We know we priced it too aggressively and we are adjusting it accordingly.

The unit will now cost 125 BTC, and the price change is effective immediately.

Also, the prices on the build your own unit is changing to:

1 module: 35 btc

2 module: 45 btc

3 module: 55 btc

4 module: 65 btc

Thanks again for the opportunity for discourse in this forum. Some of the things we feel separate us from the others are:

1.   Our units are American made and we offer free overnight shipping to the continental United States.
2.   We offer full customer support.
3.   We have a proven working concept.
4.   We are doing everything the right way. We aren’t skimping on anything (power supplies, fans, etc).
5.   We are ready to take orders right now. Others are either sold out or aren’t to the point where they can take orders.

We know there are others claiming they’ll be ready to ship working units as soon as the Avalon chips arrive at a lower price than us. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. I haven’t seen any of their working prototypes. We have a proven concept that is working right now and we are ready for the Avalon chips to arrive.

We are taking all the feedback on this forum seriously and appreciate these honest comments from the bitcoin community.

First of all, we’d like to thank you for the initial feedback on our units. All feedback is appreciated… positive, negative and anywhere in between.

Secondly, we’d like to inform you of our progress as far as availability of a finished, ready to ship unit is concerned. All the boards (hash cards, control units, backplanes and power distribution) are currently being mass produced locally in NE Ohio. We anticipate the completion of all boards by the time the full order of Avalon chips arrives.

We plan on being ready to start shipping out finished units as early as 1 week after the time the Avalon chips arrive.

Thanks for your interest!

I think you are misunderstanding about the non working ASIC. That is if you send us chips. How do I know if they are good or not? I cannot know that. As for the price of our actual units... if I could make a price at $7K I would. We spent lots of money, and they don't take bitcoins, on securing mass production... which has already begun.

EDIT: The units we sell are 100 percent guaranteed to work.

Thanks, I appreciate that! There is also more pictures and a video on the progress section of the site.

We would like to introduce ourselves and our company, Krater Miner, to the bitcoin community. Our company consists of 3 people who have experience in business, web development, and component level electronics. We are based out of Northeast Ohio.

For over 2 months we have been working behind the scenes, with Carlos (better known on this forum as flyonthewall; he has a condo service that he has been promoting on this forum, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189976.0) on an Avalon clone. We now have a working prototype.

On our website, www.kraterminer.com, we have a video showing the prototype in action.

We ordered 10,000 Avalon chips and we are selling 4 module units with those chips. In addition, we have a build your own unit service if you want to send us your chips.

We know you will have plenty of questions for us, so we made a FAQ page on our website that will hopefully answer most of these questions. Even though we are new to this community, we have been working exclusively on these units for the past 2 months. We decided not to make an announcement until we had video proof of our unit working. Also, you can email us at kratermining@gmail.com, or you can call us at (440) 391-9651. Please do not hesitate to call. I will be more than happy to answer any questions, or address any concerns you may have.
