Lancelot FPGA

[blackarrow]

I'm thinking about ordering 4 of them. The description says:
"1 x Lancelot, with standard cooling system
1 x 12volt 10Amp Power Adapter (100-240volts) - can power 4 boards
1 x CDROM (with necessary software, documents)"

So would I get 4 power adapters? I guess I would only need one, right?
How can I order without power adapters?

Place the order and write in the notes that you only want 1 power adapter. We will adjust the price for you.

1. they are in stock and can start hashing tomorrow.  if you wait 3 more months for an ASIC, you're not hashing therefore loosing money

My experience with ordering from China to North America is that it takes 4-6 weeks for delivery. It would be better to get on an ASIC waiting list.

Have you considered hosting these devices yourself and renting their hash-power out to people?

If you ship the products with a container it will take 6 weeks long. We ship with DHL and UPS which are using airplanes to move the goods.
With North America deliveries can take even 1 day (due to the time zone).

looks good. sadly the payment options are hard. i'd wish paypal were an option. from chile its kinda hard to pay otherwise.

We have received payments before from Peru through Western Union therefore this is definitely an available option.

If trust is an issue for you (which I understand why it might be) keep reading this thread and you'll see happy customers. Maybe then you'll change your mind.

We'll let you know if we'll ever decide to start accepting PayPal.

We think that bank transfer is the safest option for customers who have doubts about us.

Any chance on a group buy or something here to get some units out at the $250 price point?

Sure. How would you like to proceed?

I have a few people who might be interested in picking up a few. Maybe we could start a thread of a site even for people to sign up and put into a pot to get a big group buy going. Any ideas?

You are welcome to do that. Meanwhile we will prepare a stock of 110 boards and start hashing. We will then post a link to eligius website so you can see that we have this hashing power and the FPGAs are real.

At the moment we have 4 boards in stock and I expect to have the 110 boards in stock during the week of 6-10 of May (1-3 of May are free days in China and the assembly factory is not working).

Has anybody got these Lancelot FPGA's to work on Ubuntu Linux? 

I see that it comes with the driver software, so I am assuming that would be for windows.  My current rig is running Ubuntu, so I was wondering about the Linux compatibility of the FPGA's. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  This FPGA looks promising.

We took the screenshot at the beginning of the thread from Ubuntu. There is no driver required for ubuntu. Just start cgminer like this:

Code:

./cgminer-fpgaonly -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1

Thanks for the quick response BlackArrow! 

Sounds like there is no driver required for the linux kernel.  Works for me.  Thanks for the amazing work and quick feedback. 

Mush appreciated.
