[Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service

[crazyearner]

hey burnin, about the coming website and payment orders:

in order to get my units assembled asap, should I use btc to pay almost instantly or can I use bank wire and save the same spot on the waiting list as I would get with btc payments?

please answe asap, as it takes time to prepare

Thanks a lot! You did a great job so far  

Paypal should be just as fast.

EMC-Lab confirmed the appointment.

And i have some more overclocking figures for you guys.
Note: I expect that future versions will be more stable due to a few changes.
341 Mhz 1.2V 57.5W - passed long term tests with 0.2% hw-errors.
409 Mhz 1.2V 68.04W - hw-errors increase to 3%
448 Mhz 1.2V 74.4W - not stable
448 Mhz 1.25V 81.6W - unstable 50% hw-errors
448 Mhz 1.28V 84.016W - unstable 50% hw-errors

Nice speeds and settings. Question when are you opening orders up for UK ?

Thanks for the updates.

Hopefully PayPal does not freeze your account if there is a large influx of money. You may want to talk to PayPal about this.

I would have hoped the increase in core voltage would yield a higher hash rate but it doesn't  seem to have helped much.
What do the report signals look like when the ASIC is running at 448mhz ? Maybe if the report signals pull-up resistors were a lower resistance?

Anyway good job!

Hopefully you could talk with someone who could influence the system ....
I didn´t found anyone. My account is frozen since end of April.

Or use Wire transfer inside EU?

Like someone mentioned before: are you sure papypal is a good idea? Do you know https://www.sofort.com/ (sofortüberweisung)? I guess sending via bankwire won't save the same spot as btc/paypal, did I get this right?

Burnin, can you make boards for BitFury chips.

He said after end with avalon boards he will look for it.

[Adamlm]

I've browsed through all 61 pages of this thread and couldn't find any info, so I am asking:

Will there be hosting option for those boards or only assembly & shipping ?

[Chefnet]

I think burnin has no hosting.
I'm in planning for a full service assembly (different boards) and if wanted hosting.

Get lawyer, send letter.

To be honest, that is the only way this goes fast. But you need a lawyer versed in EU law in Luxembourg... and that is quite expensive.

Interesting... i hoped you will test it. It would have been interesting to know the temperatures of the chips too. Many hope that watercooling will lead to a miner that maybe works at 450MHz. So it would be interesting if the high temperature at 450 cooled down a bit is leading to less HW-Errors.

You will accept paypal? Thats quite a risk. I once had a shop and a not small chunk of payments were fraudulent. Paid with stolen accounts or simply charged back. Im not sure if you will be happy with paypal.

[nemercry]

I agree with other peoples, stating not to accept paypal.
If most of the transactions are processed by paypal you could run into liquidity problems if paypal seizes your account.
Even if you do have a good lawyer it could take months to get your account unfrozen.
Check out Danis proposal, it should be a more accurate and safer option.

I've used sofort once, I was impressed how well it was integrated with my bank!

Except that all customers need to in fact allow Sofort Bank to take a full look at your account history the moment you enter your details. It is a great working, but from privacy point of view insane system.

[krasnolud]

From consumer point of view, PayPal is good.

It is... but if the assembler gets in trouble it will affect customers too.

I wouldn't mind regular EU bank transfer, I mean, that's how all my business (and personal) things are payed for. Doesn't cost anything anyway inside EU

But takes time.
And the order of assembly is going to be based on payments order.

[guitar82]

I would prefer to send paypal as well. Most of the people having issues with paypal are doing things against the tos. I don't see any reason he would have any issues. Maybe google checkout instead?

There is no need to make the Moneytransfer faster than 3 to 5 days due to the reason that the chips are not shipped yet.

Why isnt it aligned with the ordering Queue ? We could give payments an one week time window in which the Orderqueue counts ?
