Hi burnin, Could you tell us (who hang in there with chips on their way soon to arrive) how long you would think assemlby will take if chips would arrive next week friday? I know these These estimates suck because later everybody hates on you if it delays, but please try to give a very rough timeframe, as i need to plan things seriously. +- 4 days would be close enough for me. Thank you  |

now how did you manage that? Crazy. Due to better cooling or mostly due to massive overclocking, pencil mod it down to .. 1k? 1,05k? Of course fine tuning in the end.. but.. 38? damn! |

I've noticed an intense drop in the beating of chests and the gnashing of teeth in this thread.
Bitsyncom, you might take note of this and realize it's better for your chi when you keep your customers informed. Just a thought.
maybe because everyone who wasnt fucked as badly as people with money spent on assembly requested a refund and got lucky? Maybe because things are set, even they are set it a shitty way anyway.. argh whatev. Why am I even posting in this thread |

can anyone interpret what this means? 22 148069 140517 140494 0 163196 2326 2326 [1]http://127.0.0.1:8333/ (btcguild) 22 148332 141428 141405 [2]http://127.0.0.1:8334/ (eligius acc2) I saw my hashrate drop slightly, I am hashing on 3 workers (two different pools). I know it reads "Queue length Getworks Nonces found Nonces submitted Server". Does btcguild have so little nonces comapred to eligius because difficulty setting is much higher? (it was 64 but i only hashed with ~25gh, oops  ). It seems I have problems with spi/msi errors? Is this bad? Or can I ignore that, as it is only a tiny percentage? What if the queue length switches between >0 and <100? Is this bad? I sometimes see the hashrate on the pool (eligius) drop drastically. This seems not to happen on btcguild, but I'm no fan of hashing on the biggest pool out there. I want to support smaller pools. Please enlighten me you guys! |

nobdoy posted it, so I'll do: email udpate Dear Mining entusiast,
We are excited to announce our second batch of specialized ASIC mining equipment for early January 2014 delivery.
There is a new product that is being launched in the January batch, the 1 TH/s TerraMiner II, which sells for $3499.
There is also the TerraMiner IV retailing for $5999 in the January batch. That makes it the first mining equipment to break the $3 per Gigahash barrier!
Both products feature CoinTerra's 500 GH/s GoldStrike1 chip, which is already the fastest chip announced in the Bitcoin market. Physical Design results for GoldStrike1 show that some of these chips can perform as high as 700 Gh/s. There is a possibility that at the time of delivery customers may be offered an option to upgrade their TerraMiner for a small fee, further lowering the cost per Gigahash.
Best wishes,
CoinTerra Sales Team |

Could anyone update me on the achieved hashrates? Whats the best one could achieve, power draw, warranty voids? Any bitburner gone bad? How hot are you guys letting them run? any specific piece (except for the chips) that needs an extra eye on (extra cooling)?
|
|
|
|
Would you look at that, a Belgian company! It's starting to actually be more interesting to drive over to collect it than to have it shipped And it's run by 35-36 year guys, so it's not some kid  wrong thread? |
|

This is likely not a faulty hardware. I can see the same on my bitfury starterkit on eligius with a difficulty of 32 or 64, dont remember. It drops ans come back while the software still reports full speed. What does cgminer say? (Or whatever softeare you use)

The logger has been updated, it now saves multiple log files with running numbering.
Great update. I set numboards to 3 and logged for 6 hours. log of board two only shows the headline (chip#, ..) without any data. Plus http://anduck.net/bfsb/# seems not to be up to date, as the first two lines show: Chip # Settings avg. noncerate avg. hashrate Nonces Falses Falses % SPI errors MISO errors
Chip ProgParams 0 0 0 0 0% 0 0 Hope this is of some help to you guys, I'm the perfect beta tester, doing it murphys way (if something can go wrong, it will. especially if I do it) |

As much as I don't wish to do business with BitSynCom anymore, if gen2 chips really are a direct replacement, and can put new life into BitBurners that would otherwise be junk, then I'm cautiously interested.
I wont pay bullshit prices tho. I'd rather have my 50% back than send BitSynCom more money only to hope and pray for ROI.
+1. But then again avalon won't be cheap if we look at the past (don't count batch1) and they have no reason to give a good prices except for "compensation" of us. Compensation was given through refunds, so they are done (from their point of view) and to rely on good willing for good prices.. in case of yifu.. oh come on, I don't see this. :/ |

Guess I gotta do some digging through hundreds of pages of posts =(
No, noone needs to dig through hundreds pages of post. Just look at the OP, I linked everything relevant from the news section. Please check how many refunds I processed and how many pending orders are still left. And now assume everyone sends me refund requests via PM, email, Skype or irc, all with different formats (or just 'give me my refund') - how am I supposed to handle this? Come on folks, I am working my ass off to please everyone and let everyone go without loosing a single Satoshi - is it really that hard to follow a simple and well defined process? You did everything right imo! For anyone who wants to refund, I'll post again how to do so (as some people are finding it hard to look for themselves..): <forum nick>;<-N>;<-C>;<address> to zeta.bitcoin.enterprises+AvalonRefunds@gmail.com . Yes, copy everything including that +, some did that wrong (including my mail service) for example, if I had 100 chips, I would send: dani;-10;-8.6;hasjrgh239HISDUASdghasgdhg_or_whatev_my_adress_was_that_I_sent_from correct me if I'm wrong or look it up yourself, this is easy. |

I'd love the idea if burnin agrees as well.But first things first : let's see the chip and performance and decide after.
We're also waiting a reply from him regarding conversion to bitfury boards .
This would indeed be a nice solution after all: If the 55nm chips were to sell immediately, have good specs and reasonable prices and burnin could assemble them without any hassle (of course any extra work should be paid from customers). Burnin, what are your thoughts on this? |
|
|
|
at this point are any of the chips even worth getting? I've already paid burnin, but I'd rather get back 50% than 0% at this stage
its a shame it has come to this...... some many people , so much work and nothing but disappointment
This. Another week - another week lost. I can see them being prepared for weeks or whatever. Newsletter just got out Avalon ASIC
Now accepting refunds from any and all order dates
Due to delays we are now offering full refund in bitcoin for all the Avalon Generation One orders made on any date, It is advise for people to request refunds due to the delay and raise of bitcoin difficulty.
The update refund form can be found on the main store site, linked here.
Due to phishing attempts and spam, any refund request not made containing the original order email and phone number will be automatically rejected by the system and marked as spam, so please bear this in mind.
Avalon Generation Two Chips 55nm
Those who have invested in time and money on Avalon Generation One based devices and clones can rejoice in the fact we had the foresight to make Avalon Generation Two chips completely backward compatible in every way with 110nm generation one chips, which can be expect to go on sale Late October 2013 for immediate shipping. Avalon will no longer participate in any kind of pre-ordering.
Developers and Hobbyists should keep an close eye on our github account as we will be releasing the 55nm chip specification and reference design soon!

Oh weird... my hash rate went from 0 to 3 after half an hour, then went to 17, and now jumped back to 25.
I think there's something really funky going on with these chips... definitely do not feel like they're stable. Almost like some chips shutting down for a while and then coming back to life when they feel like it.
I saw the same happening on my chips. Two days ago I was good with 75-77. They keep jumping from 60 to 77 as they please. If you have any information on why this happens please let me know. I'm willing to test anything in case I can elaborate more on this behaviour |

Thanks cscape, you are of great help! How do I interpret the .putstat.log? It reads "putworks, got, done, sent, url". From two different starter kits I get this: 4 682612 457440 457436 [0]http://127.0.0.1:8332/
0 717652 188601 188601 [1]http://127.0.0.1:8333/
0 682730 461372 461372 [2]http://127.0.0.1:8334/
20 112690 120635 120614 [0]http://127.0.0.1:8332/
3 112009 116636 116633 [1]http://127.0.0.1:8333/
7 112882 118537 118530 [2]http://127.0.0.1:8334/
How I interpret this: got 626k, did 2/3 of it and sent except for 4 of them (to stratum proxy?). Which would fit nicely, because this miner drops the speed sometimes dramatically for hours and slowly getting back to full speed and slowly down again. In the second case I read that I sent more than I got, wtf. This does not make any sense to me. This miner also goes up and down in speed. Help? |

I still try to find something suspicous looking on my boards, maybe this time I got something: At the end of the traces from each chip there are white squares reading "SJ18, SJ17, SJXX...". Are they called jumpers?
Yes, SJ = Solder Jumper. It doesn't matter if they are covered with solder tin or not, as long as they aren't connected to each other (unless you want to disable that particular chip). But your lack of solder tin on the jumpers may indicate that the chips don't have enough either. Thanks for your reply thats what I thought. But what are they good for on that spot anyway? to make sure that layers beneath it would have good contact (reflow of layers?) |

On my friends two good boards every jumper has a nice dot of solder iron. On my good working board I got them as well, all over every piece. On my two bad boards? None, on a very very few places are some dots. Those board have in total 5 non working chips + some at half or lower speed. Pictures needed?

Hi All, Isokivi and I managed to hack together a script for logging data from the chainminer output. This might well be useful for those tuning chips by hand or for those that just like to gather data and make pretty graphs in Excel . +1. I managed to get it running - i guess. reporting back when it's finished (set total runtime to 180min, don't expect a reply shortly). Great stuff, would be interested to hear how it goes. We can tweak if necessary. I started version 1.3, but I didnt had the correct chmod rights given (sorry, no native linux user here  ), but Isokivis post was easy to follow, did that and it worked. I wonder if you could add the speeds that autotune sets as well, like an average speed, but thats just nice to have. let's share some data!

Sorry I was sarcastically stating a high percentage but the message was lost in the text. If you buy a 400 g/h unit for 8 grand all the calculators I used say you should make 8 grand in August (don't know what day you got it, lets say august first) and 6 grand in september, 4 grand in october and 2 grand in november. Now you've already made 150% profit and the setup will run at whatever the future holds for miners, possible making 1k a month when it levels out.
If you buy in october you will already be down 10,000 worth of mining, it seems to me atleast. I put an order in, and want to run it anways in hopes that the price increase of coins in the future will offset future higher difficulties and believe will stay profitable for awhile. I'm just a newb here guys don't take it so personal!
august prices were a lot higher than october prices anyway, did you concider that? august starterkit = 1000 EUR without vat here, I think it was around 15k EUR or so? One within europe would pay anouther ~20% vat on top of that. Just sayin |
