Kano vs Bitsyncom

BRAVO! Thanx!

Any chance of a batch 2 order confirmation spree in the near future?

yes, we are getting to that once we secure a shipping channel, many business like us has items in custom bottle neck as CNY ends, so we expect some problems once custom reopen when holidays are over, once that's taken cared of, we'll get to batch #2.

Excellent, thanks.

Cheers.

It's the weekend as promised, CNY is ending and shipping is going to resume shortly after, in the mean time before this we got organized ( not really organizing source code but things like how we didn't initially have the repos on github so there was other misc related work. )

Here are the source codes

https://github.com/BitSyncom/cgminer
https://github.com/BitSyncom/cgminer-openwrt-package
https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-extras
https://github.com/BitSyncom/luci

Finally - a week late on the last time given
Anyway, a few things:
1) You can only mine an avalon with it, you can't connect another device the way it currently is coded.
2) The mystical numbers that someone seemed to think they could use to discover the meaning of life: 256 270 282 300
The frequencies the avalon can run at.

Yeah is uses serial-USB as I said ... 'some' code in there from my Icarus code To be expected of course It is OpenSource ...... and it obviously started off as the Icarus code ... pity they removed the copyright of the people who wrote the original code it was copied from ... not surprising at all.

A lot of it will need to be rewritten, coz at the moment it simply recodes certain parts of cgminer to work with an avalon (and not anything else)
It will need to be done using the new scanwork() function that ckolivas is writing that allows a list of work items to be dealt with, and of course I've designed the new BFL SC code to work in a very different way with a separate thread to only get the replies from the device for dealing with the queue, but I'm not sure that can be used in this case since it is like an oversized Icarus where the timing between work completion and sending new work is critical (and WAY more critical due to the much lower time to work on a work item)
I'm certain it will have great difficulty if someone tried it on windows ... anyone with an Avalon wanna try that?
... anyone with an Avalon at all?

Edit: some interesting dates written on these pages

And Kano just lost one more thing to hide behind when it comes to his complaints.

Thanks. I did give Avalon a lot of shit about this, but the source release is much appreciated.

And Kano just lost

I think everyone wanted this to be released. We all won.

Thanks for that.

In the condition that code is, I can't really merge it into the mainline cgminer code. I'm not sure what your long term plans are for your hardware, as to whether it will evolve further, run off other hardware, be manually update-able, etc, but you might at least benefit from trying to stay in sync with the master branch of cgminer, and if you made the code in such a way that it didn't just work on avalon hardware, it could be merged into cgminer master. Then it's possible others can add bugfixes, improvements etc. although these are hard to do without actually trying them directly on the hardware.

Please don't remove the copyright of authors who clearly contributed to the original versions of files you have copied and modified, such as from the Icarus code, to suit the Avalon hardware.

Very well written and this is why I continue to support the cgminer software. Working together is going to be huge success for Bitcoin in general. Glad to see this finally coming around.

Nice job guys.

BRAVO! Thanx!

Any chance of a batch 2 order confirmation spree in the near future?

Im really not sure what more confirmation you need for batch 2 orders? It has already been mentioned to contact Walletbit to verify any order through there system at http://support.walletbit.com.

Im not sure what else your looking for besides an email thats going to say the same thing Walletbit can already answer?

I would rather Avalon to focus on the last of the Batch 1 shipments and get started on Batch 2. And or patching their software to be up-to-date with cgminer.

Last night on Freenode #cgminer I saw a lot of great suggestions from Kanoi to update the code. Also willing to help out.

[08:38]  * xiangfu got an avalon today.
[08:46]  <kanoi> you see our comments - your gonna have to rewrite a lot of the code coz your current code is avalon only
[08:47]  <kanoi> maybe redo it once we've got the new replacement scanhash done
[08:47]  <xiangfu> kanoi: yes. thanks for comments. :-)
[08:47]  <kanoi> ... and of course use new usbutils
[08:47]  <kanoi> ... and put the copyright back ...
[08:47]  <xiangfu> I don't have much time write those code. so I just try to make it work with avalon.
[08:48]  <kanoi> until conman completes the new scanhash - no point anyway
[08:48]  <kanoi> for now just put in the bug fixes
[08:49]  <xiangfu> kanoi: about coypright. I think I almost rewrite 90% of driver-icarus.c. is that ok I change the coypright to only me. (just for understand those mess copyright stuff)
[08:49]  <kanoi> no
[08:49]  <xiangfu> sure I will add all copyright back.
[08:49]  <xiangfu> kanoi: ok. so for copyright I have to 100% re-write? right?
[08:50]  <kanoi> well if you don't I'm just Luke-Jr will get pissed off also
[08:51]  <kanoi> as was before all 3 (inculding you) put your name at the top
[08:52]  <xiangfu> is that very important? the top. I alwasy want get away from those copyright. so now I am always release my code with unlicense(http://unlicense.org/)
[08:53]  <kanoi> no you cannot change the copyright
[08:56]  <xiangfu> thanks for comments. fixed: https://github.com/BitSyncom/cgminer/commit/5e28e87e20b45adcf85eeef6ac47621d1d2d5f6c
[08:58]  <kanoi> you might want to write: Copyright 2012-2013 Xiangfu <xiangfu@openmobilefree.com>
[08:58]  <kanoi> and put it at the top
[08:58]  <xiangfu> forget that. I just copy from icarus.c
[09:03]  * e1z0 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.3.1 Aria http://www.kvirc.net/)
[09:07]  <kanoi> anyway - when you have time (and after I get back from BFL - I'm going in 12 hours) I can explain how to use the new USB library - basically look at driver-bitforce.c in my git -> hotplug
[09:08]  <kanoi> but that will require a major rewrite - so up to you if you have time or not
[09:09]  <xiangfu> thanks kanoi. I do want upstream the avalon code.
[09:10]  <kanoi> but also you'll have to wait until conman does the new scanhash - coz you'll need to use that
[09:10]  <xiangfu> yes. depends on time. I will always in this channel. just I have the work need to be done this month.
[09:10]  <xiangfu> I will read your code recently.
[09:10]  <kanoi> but that shoul dbe ready soon (well he's done the basics already - not sure what else needs to be done yet)
[09:11]  <kanoi> in his branch ... not sure where
[09:11]  <kanoi> queued_work
[09:12]  <kanoi> nothing uses it yet
[09:12]  <kanoi> anywa 2am - sleep time - see ya - Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
[09:14]  <xiangfu> n8

Do you think you'll be able to ship more than 2 units this time?

Im really not sure what more confirmation you need for batch 2 orders? It has already been mentioned to contact Walletbit to verify any order through there system at http://support.walletbit.com.

In order for there to be more confirmation, there would have to be some kind of initial confirmation.

I've never received confirmation of anything from either walletbit or Avalon, save automated confirmation of opening a support ticket weeks ago. Emails sent to walletbit are seemingly going into a black hole. I paid as a guest, so have only a screenshot of the receipt and blockchain.info as proof it happened, nothing shows in my walletbit account. Support tickets opened, auto receipt acknowledged then ignored. If I go to the recently altered batch 2 store and login, it says there's no record of any transactions.

Calling their customer service crap is patently unfair to dung.
