[Group Buy] Avalon ASIC Chips (SebastianJu) Batch 6 ordered (Closed)

[SebastianJu]

Now that burnin is about to open his webstore, should we purchase the assembly from him or should we wait it out till we have some sort of confirmation on the chips?

Thanks

I think its up to you. If you buy early you have an early point in queue at least.

Launch of the shop is postponed I hear. The site is now password protected.

Well, let's name it accordingly. It was a failure, bugged shop and wrong opening time given. Burnin said 9pm GMT while he opened at 8pm GMT - some people lost their chance even to compete because of that. I know that there is no big difference between being first and last inside a batch, but still it is unfair.

Anyone is missing 2 or 3 chips to get a full miner? Since burnin will replace broken asics i now calculated that i have 12 chips, from my private ones, that i cant use. If someone needs a couple... its in batch 5, order 17.

Burnin shop up and running.

Ok lets try this again.
I changed stuff around so you have to register now.
Also changed caching settings that will hopefully solve the issues.

When the errors reappear DO NOT proceed with the order and inform me immediately.

I am in doubt of using PayPal with this one.  Somewhere I seen and I think it is Terahash thread, major problems with PayPal.
My best guess is that safest way for making payment to burnin is wire transfer. Your thoughts?

[SebastianJu]

Since i, now and then, wrote that im undecided between Klondike and burnin... and maybe the one or another was influenced from it... i now decided to use burnin for my private chips. The reason is that the actual models are differently good. Burnin costs, with vat, more than double of marto74's assembly cost, but that is back already because burnin's board's can be overclocked higher.

Burnin:
* Overclocking and highervolting via software (Cgminer)
* can be run up to 450MhZ (450MHash/s) per Chip

Klondike:
* overclocking and highervolting when you exchange parts on the pcb
* cannot be overclocked very high except one takes out Asic's from the board to ensure power supply
* Seems to be sensitive against electromagnetic radiation. (friedge goes on and can influence miner)

This is, like i said only the actual design. The klondike wont change for the moment because many assembler already ordered pcb's.

Dont take offense, its not meant as bashing, its only the actual status how i see it. Everyone can inform themself and decide what to do.

I avoid paypal where i can. Mostly because these ... killed my account. I only use it when there is no other way.
You are fine with wire transfer. It doesnt matter when the money comes in but when you ordered at the shop. Burnin decided this way to promote wire.

Wire transfer is probably better for burnin also, because of PayPal charge backs. I would probably make my order now and paid later when chips arrive in that case when order no. has privilege over payment but still wouldn't do that until web-shop is proven as bug-free.

Was there Raspberry-Pi yesterday? I came late to browse web site and while at it, it went offline, so didn't had the chance to explore all options available.

Sorry, already one wanted 6 another 4, so only 2 are remaining. But chefnet announced in german thread that he either needs some chips or has to sell some. Maybe ask him...

TIA

Order number. Burnin did this so that people use wire too and dont have a disadvantage.

I thought he meant that he would replace them on your board free of charge, not that he would supply them. Maybe I am wrong.

His last message could be seen as such but he meant earlier: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179769.msg2031965#msg2031965

burnin back...

[SebastianJu]

When you order now in burnin's shop keep in mind that you have to do 2 orders with 2 times shipping cost if you want miners from earlier batches shipped instantly to you. For example when you order 2 miner from batch 1 and 4 miners from batch 5 in one order then all miners will be shipped after the miners from batch 5 are ready. 2 checkouts are needed if you want to get the previous ones before.

My last 2 chips are gone now...
