Nice. I should have bought another 4 jallies back in the days. 

The ones that I currently working on are TRC and PPC. You can check the profitability between different altcoins here

the ASIC ain't just for BTCs, but for altscoins with SHA256 (tested and proven personally)

I'm curious about the 12v input on the blades.  It says 12v 10a, but what is the voltage tolerance?  Can they be hooked directly to a battery at ~13v?  Can they handle 14v, or 11v and function normally?

  I'd expect the regulators to have some tolerance built in, but does anybody know from experience what it is?

Totally understand Dave  i will retract my offer and continue as normal and just have to suck it up and smash
my creditcard harder in debt 

Bad timing indeed, my last car was  a  mitsibishi Evo 7 blew a conrod out the block now that is bad luck, well dosent help when
your almost at 30psi of boost, Kaboooom

I asked for a refund on June 27th and just received email confirmation from BFL that they were processing the refund today. I haven't seen it hit PayPal, but I presume that will happen over the course of the next few days. Once that happens, I'll cancel my CC chargebacks.

While I've seen others get less than stellar customer service, other than a bit of a delay in the response, I personally haven't had any problems.

But there are only 24 cases, look at the cases you can see the x/24 on them in marker and on the stickers.

And 15600 times 24 cases is................. 374,400 but since the tracking says 135 boxes I am willing to bet there are some cases with less than 6.

You guys should really take a look at those photos.

Now a new team claims that they will be designing 40 nm ASIC chips. They even claim that Yifu outsourced the design of Avalon to them, with those photos:

That's 135 boxes inside those 24 cases.  Since each case can hold up to 6 boxes, 6 times 24 cases is 144 boxes so some of those cases are not full cases.  So if each box can hold up to 2600 chips that means there are 351,000 chips on that skid.  

Spent all of yesterday going through the firmware code, there is a trick people are missing. Uses some information from the github as well.

If you have a 3 module unit can you add the 4th unit? I know ASIC chips are going around but i have a feeling you need more than raw chips.

I just got through spending most of the day messing with the jalapeno.

I made a custom peltier assembly and a temperature controller that regulated the temperature to around 65-68 F. I didn't want to go colder due to risk of condensation.

I also modified the firmware to make the same changes as ckolivas did in his, except you can just comment out in std_defs.h... ...and it should have the same effect. I also reduced ...down to just 1. After these changes, I was able to get 30 engines running from 28 previously.

I also increased the voltage from 1.016v to 1.047v by changing the resistor at R11 to 7.5kohm. This resulted in the chips automatically clocking to a higher frequency. At frequency index 7, I was previously attaining 291MHz/271MHz on the chips. After the voltage increase, it was clocking at 305MHz/291MHz.

After these changes, my hash rate went up from ~8.2 to 8.3 GH/s at frequency index 7, to ~8.85 GH/s. I was able to achieve ~9.05 GH/s with index 8 (~4.5% errors), and ~9.23 GH/s with index 9 (~7.5% errors).

Unfortunately, the peltier assembly didn't seem to have much effect on the error rate. I put the old heatsink on and it handled the heat just fine. The only thing the peltier was good for was getting a high initial frequency setting. With the peltier drawing ~90w, it wasn't really worth it to continue using.

Right now I'm running frequency index 8 @ 8.93 GH/s (~2.6% errors). It is possible for me to go higher at that index, but that was when I was using the peltier. I stuck the unit in the freezer, but I guess I didn't get lucky.

Some pictures of the peltier assembly...
