If anyone from this batch would like to sell a few of their chips, I'm interested in an additional 57 of them. I already have 40 from this batch which is why I'd prefer to buy more from this batch - keeps it to a single shipment...
PM with offer.

Bithav, those are the Avalon blade boards, right? Is the microcontroller code available for those? I may just end up going that route...

Hey guys,
I've been busy with my new home. I still have not received any info from Avalon yet... JohnK did you get any info? tracking numbers etc.?

Yeah it is available. But if not, why going with a different board and writing your code? If I have to write the code, I would use a proven hardware.... |

>BKKCoins clearly stated it will be open source and has done so a number of times on his own schedule and not before he has tested the design out.
Open source usually means you make all the files in a project open for public viewing, in this case BkkCoins is keeping much of the project to himself and he's asking for licensing fees... Anyhow, if he's not releasing designs until it is "tested", that could be months from now.
There's not much sense in releasing something if you don't know yet if it'll work. With software, it's no big deal if it doesn't work. With hardware, though? If he put out some half-baked board-layout files and some nimrod then generated gerbers and had boards made, how long do you suppose it'd be before a flamewar erupted as a result of the wasted effort? With my own stuff, I only tend to push working, tested versions to GitHub (or whatever), not every little change. |

@saltfer:
Good points. I was hoping to do a review of the klondike boards in terms of electrical limits, logic design, and signal path, but this is not possible yet. I have an assembler I like, but I would not print PCBs at this stage for that design. Klondike still has the advantage of not needing an on-board FPGA, so reduced cost and modest power gains over the Avalon boards. It's more fun to have a sleek PCB, also. I think it may still be worth the wait to get that new design, try to overclock those chips...

Hey guys,
I've been busy with my new home. I still have not received any info from Avalon yet... JohnK did you get any info? tracking numbers etc.?
Well, there's still no updates at all from them. :/ The status at the store reads: Order #10129 made on April 27, 2013. Order status: chips ordered. At least that's better than my two other group buys, ordered on May 22 and May 30 which still reads Processing . |

It got ordered on the 27th april and its now 1st June. Thats almost 5 weeks. Guessing we are halfway there... |

I may not be remembering correctly, though. |

What are some good options? ryepdx, steamboat (will he allow ragin chips?), burnin... I have 51 chips... I figure 2 K16s and some K1s. |

I've got chips here and in steamboat's batch 3. I'm leaning towards steamboat's assembly; his operation appears well handled, and he's on batch 5 right now which makes me think he'll be getting a great price for assembly. Other people's plans? |

I was thinking of maybe just using Terrahash's service once BkkCoins gets the Klondike boards up. I just don't have enough stake with 70 chips to do a PCB run myself. Can you post a link to the Steamboat PCB thread?
