 Glad you could dump some pressure off, even if it's off-topic. I know waiting for something you've paid is killing you, but don't loose your nerve. To answer your question, you will be able to overclock your chips, don't worry. my thoughts exactly, hey were all a bit twitchy, and need to vent somewhere  At least t13 you take it in ur stride and don't attack ur customers like bfl does.. |

forgive the noob question, but as a new forum member and not having purchased with you before am i able to secure them at this price ?
I'll jump in before someone else slams you... No this is just a poll / speculation Wait a bit and you might thou  |

Now people can get off your nuts! Sheesh.. this coupon shit has been a disaster from the beginning
Yes it has. I've told friedcat my opinion on coupons. I cant wait to see how some of the other Group buys will handle more coupons, It could be a blood bath...  Edit : Just popped into ur other thread, didn't realize so much heat on the these. |

and according to the thread above bitfury chip prices will be going up when sales reopen Up 270%!!! That is why I asked Burnin about the overclocking to 5Ghash/s. Do the math, 2 to 5 is a 250% increase, but still less than 270%. Perhaps Bitfury are anticipating delays by some other manufacturers and hence lower difficulty rates (and higher prices)? You got a link? 1BTC per GH/s is way over the top for a chip ... They only cost like less than $10 per chip right? - BITFURY ASIC chips - $25 each
Hey yes.
Exciting that we're almost there on the chip order. Looking good for this to happen smoothly (fingers crossed). We have been considering a second chip reel, but i just found out the new prices and they have gone up dramatically, so it's not really doable. We are really lucky we got the chips for the price we did. They are around 270% the price now. We would have to put the prices up a lot for a second reel, so probably just sticking to the one. Only 800 to go!
Not sure why such a steep Increase, I guess we will need to wait for chip sales to re-open for confirmation on prices however if true Burnin should consider carefully before putting too much effort into new boards.. |

I really think there is an Issue with the new Arch and certain Hubs, Am short on ports until my new hubs arrive. I will be able to runs some test and experiments once I have the new hubs. Edit: I now have most of my set up on the good hubs running on 0.2.3(a) the bad hub works perfect, running 7 erupters on 0.2.2 (completely unstable on 0.2.3a, and destabilizes the other hubs) Glad I brought that second PI |

Just one two questions...Will we be required to provide our own shipping label this time like your current sales? Are these labels good for International order ? , I tried a mock one and get errors on the zip code I guess because its a different format...

bitfury chip looks interesting - are these things available?
available 4 preorder Well if you go to the site right now you'd see that what is available for ordering is just sample chips, so no bulk/ goup buys viable atm. If ur quick you can get some in the drillbit GB Thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=266235.0Running out fast... 600 left @ $25 |

Well it is a group buy for chips, with the addition of mounting on a card ! So much the same as the avalon format. I think most people looking to invest find their way to the GB threads.. Anyway, despite me saying no more Group buys ! I have a good feeling on this, delivery should be end of October, just in time for my birthday so I took the leap and ordered one. $300 is nothing I will lose sleep over, and I think this is the key. Keep Investments small and spread them about. Also they are within driving distance of me so I can come in the night with a big stick.. |

im wondering if the arch Linux has updated a usb driver or something as I had been unable to get v0.2.3 running for more than a couple of minutes but once I read the last few posts and unplugged my 13 port USB hub it now seems to be running ok. my belkin hub seems to work ok.
does Linux have a USB hub driver? has it been updated since v0.2.2
oh and the exact same system has been running ok with v0.2.2 but it was crashing every few days.
maybe arch Linux doesn't like some hub chipsets. is there a command to see the details of the USB hubs plugged in.
does this sound possible?
also to the person who couldn't use past the 3rd port, I would suspect there is 2 or more chips in the hub of 4 ports each. and once you hit the second chip it seems to be funny.
Glad am not the only one..I can get 0.2.3(a) running but its like a disco on my erupters (22 randomly going idle) where as on 0.2.2 there 100% |

have you tried wiring better power to the jaycar? yeh, i got 2 of those 10 port ones with another 3 on the slow boat from china running on an atx psu. Hoping they arrive soon so I can finally get it sorted. There is very few options locally which is why I ended up with the one from jaycar.
yes, I shortened the lead to about 4 inches and soldered it to its own 5V rail on my PSU (when i first got it I was gonna solder straight to the pcb, like I did with the ebay hubs, but didn't look to be easy so i closed it up again) It was doing 7 usb's and now 3 so am sure it is screwed.. I think after 3 they do mine but they really don't look happy so I unplugged them asap. |

I agree......I have one with 9 erupters attached to a pi.......no problems.....I wired it to a PC PSU yeh, i got 2 of those 10 port ones with another 3 on the slow boat from china running on an atx psu. Hoping they arrive soon so I can finally get it sorted. There is very few options locally which is why I ended up with the one from jaycar. |

I've tracked some issues to a dodgy hub, I have rearranged them best I can but still have the dodgy one in my setup due to a shortage of ports. Weird how 0.2.2 didn't care but 0.2.3 goes nuts, am back on 0.2.2 until new hubs arrive. I have now cut the 5V line sucessfully with my new arrangement. For those interested the dodgy hub was from jaycar.  It now only works on 3 ports, any erupter plugged in after the 3rd port goes from idle to constantly flashing as if its getting interference on the line voltage (thats my guess anyway), so if anyone else has these hubs keep an eye on them. I was pushing it way above spec with an uprated psu, she was running 7-8 erupters for the last month. |

Thanks baloo, I had found it. Am really considering this now after the latest.. However there is still no comparable product off shelf so I may give it a few weeks. Must check out how bitfurys doing... |

This has been so exciting to see unfolding. BKK as a fellow EE, I can tell you that I love the board design and layout. The symmetry is awesome. Do you plan to offer an option to buy assembled with the included BOM for those of us that have the equipment to assemble? Might also take any possible issues of assembly out of the loop for a few of us as well. Once again, thanks for all your hard work. I don't think BKK has the resources to provide assembled, but am sure Marto74 can help you out. |

long as you live and after (your kids and grand child can continue BFL upgrade path).
Don't post things like this, it may give them idea's |

Warning - I put up a shelf for my little singles 3 months ago. Wife is pretty tired of dusting that empty shelf now.. |

could someone direct me to the 0.2.3a download, I really want to give this a go.I asked google... Sorry  ----------------------------- OK I gave 0.2.3a a go and I seem to get my erupters going idle randomly, so randomly that their is barely a second when there is not 1 device idle. looks real pretty though. Neil this is just to give you and others some feed back, It may be nothing wrong with the image as their defiantly seems something screwy with my setup.. |
