Yeah, between the two guys that got arrested for mining here on my country, and the contract work i suddenly got that's occupying my nights, i was lost between the communication  I can still fiddle with it if you want, no prob there. |

It is legal, as long as you import correctly the miners and don't steal electricity. |

@sidehack : with the reality of this getting closer would it be beneficial to start acquiring old S1 chassis or would the future miner be sold as a whole unit?
would it fit on an s5 chassis? i still have some of them laying around.

This could be a stupid question, but as an idea:
Will it be possible to use same the Raspberry Pi as I'm now using with Avalon 6, to control these units?

if it fits a S1 it should fit A s3 s5 and C1 the holes are the same on the S1 and S3 and c1, the heat sinks are better then the S5 imo or seem that way i have a s5, on S1's heat sinks, if that helps any  . He has said time and time it won't be a full miner at first and Polly will never be , at this point if he did sell it as a whole miner a lot here would be very disappointed but it's POSS but Polly won't go that way. he sticks to his word and tries his best to come thu. can't ask for any more then that . |

A lot of the point of using this form-factor is because it fits S1, S3, S5 and C1 hardware. I'll probably put the power jacks in the same place as the S3 boards, so you can still use the full case. I'll have to figure out a good way to keep USB cabling possible; coming out through the ethernet jack hole is an easy option but there's still making all the angles inside to plug into the board.

Figured it was worth asking as i have a few s5s laying around and have seen a few older stock going for insanely low prices cus they are only 1/2 hashing or somehow damaged on the boards. wanted to snatch up a few before you released your hardware and they were snapped up by everyone here.
wouldnt mind grabbing a c1 to play with. wonder if the old water cooler could keep up with the heat from new chips.

Yes. People ran S5 boards on 'em, and my boards will stock at lower power dissipation than an S5.

Nope. I think CK's a bit out of my budget, and I don't have any hardware yet for Luke to work on. Once I have enough of the new controls set specified and some base code down (including workable firmware) maybe I can get him something.
Right now I'm hoping to have the Avalon test board prototype PCBs ordered by Friday. I should have the layout finished today, and tomorrow I'll do some verifying. I might also have a stickminer PCB prototype to add to the order; we'll see.
