It sounds like you want to check out Icarus and Lancelot at https://github.com/ngzhang. For the PCB there is more information than the PDF as there are also .SchDoc file - I don't know this filetype but from googling it looks like it is the file type for creating a PCBs in Altium. |

Am I the only one that feels if you paid lots of money for this hardware than you should expect the maker of the hardware to be the one helping you getting it working again? I saw another thread where the guys Avalon board had some component burn out, and to me the first thing I would do is contact Avalon.
Have you tried contacting Avalon about this?

The real question in my mind is how soon will rev2 chips come out after all off these rev1 chips are sold? Or am i reading too much from this interview http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/engineering-the-bitcoin-gold-rush-an-interview-with-yifu-guo-creator-of-the-first-asic-based-minerIf ASICs are the technological pinnacle, what’s next for bitcoin and mining?
Of mining’s technological evolution? Yes. In terms of major technological developments, it will be a while. What’s going to happen is that there is going to be a die shrink in order to reduce power consumption and increase speed based on smaller gate sizes. Eventually we’re going to reach the theoretical wall because of physics. The atoms will be too small. I don’t know when that will be hit, but the sooner the better.
If bitcoin is a $1 billion market, and it only takes less than $1 million to secure the network right now, that’s not a lot of money for someone to try and take over the mining scene. The faster the technology progresses, the more secure the network is, because it will be that much harder for a malevolent entity to mess with the system. We want to reach 14 or 10 nanometers as soon as possible. IBM/Intel is playing with 7 nanometers right now. The sooner the better so we’ll never again have this scenario where one company like Avalon essentially controls more theoretical computing power than the entire network’s hash rate. This will never happen again. |

The reason that FPGAs are still in demand is that they can be reprogrammed and therefore repurposed compared to ASICs which are for one thing and one thing only. Granted the ASICs could be used for other SHA256 needs, the FPGAs can be used for tons of other uses so that gives them more value. That and they generally can ship immediately compared to buying someone's place in line for an ASIC device.

What a fun thread. Can't tell which is better this one or where GoldenAngel asks JohnK to delete it. Looking to redefine ASIC? To what you ask? How about 'Another Scam I C' (as in 'Another Scam I see')  |

I don't have such a setup to test, but the 'clinfo.exe' from the AMD OpenCL will list out all of the platforms and all of the devices that a normal OpenCL program sees. You run clinfo from the command line, so in 'cmd'.

I say that if the noise is not a problem then crank up the fans to keep them cool. Why not? You only hear of card dying because they get too hot.

It says that these are open source? But the only 'source code' I have found is here https://github.com/ngzhang/Lancelot and all it is is the schematics (porn for my EE eyes  and the Bitstream. Is the actual source code, verilog?, somewhere else? |

bytecoin is nothing more than an alternative blockchain that we are keeping on the back burner incase the first blockchain runs into scalability problems.
What? How would Bytecoin fix any scalability issues? If there are altcoin that have technical merit, then I am all for that kind of differentiation - although Bitcoin can still evolve to include such change if it is supported by the majority - but altcoin just for the sake of an alternative (or for late coming miners) is irksome. |

First congratulations these devices look great and in a word ... cute. But I agree with others about the price point, I thought people were over bidding for the blades. I have a bigger problem with the cute USB dongle. I am looking more for a blade or a big box that really pumps the hashes out. What are people going to do, try and have 30+ of these hanging off a PC? It is almost as if the USB dongles are meant for 'casual' miners to just plug in their laptop while they are on the go.

Not sure what you mean Where you sending the funds or receiving? Does your client have multiple connections to the network? Are you up to sync with the blocks? And finally are you using the main Bitcoint network or testnet? |

I don't know of an exchange but I am curious why you are interested in ByteCoint - or for that matter why people are interested in LightCoin. What do these Bitcoin copy-cats have that Bitcoin doesn't?

I don't know bitminter, but I am guessing that it is trying to use the CPU for mining and that is why it is slow. Which OS and how are you looking at the CPU utlization? I would take a look a look at the CPU utlization as that should be low while the GPU is mining since it does not need to do the work but just hand the work to the GPU.

Hi, this does not make sense to be as one does not program the GPU in C# but rather with OpenCL (or Cuda or C++AMP). So are you looking for a GPU miner that is written in C# and has binding to a GPU Computer language like OpenCL? What is the motivation here?

Scaryhash, if you are thinking about buying a BFL single then look around and you will see *extremely* long leed times to get such a device and when you get it the difficulty will have gone up. Also they are sucking down more power than planned so that needs to be taken into account for the cost of running it.

Watch out because the mining difficulty is only going to go up - well unless there is an exodus from BTC but then why would you want to mine. Since it is only going up you need to take that into the equation of it is worth it. It might be worth it at the moment but not in a few months as ASICs ramp up.
