Hello,

i would like to have a list of ASIC-Miner-Developers that want to create a miner for avalon-asics. This list should stay here in first post to have an overview. I will add assemblers too now.
This list is not for Miners that are sold with ASICs included already (No BFL Miner, Avalon Miner or Asicminer Miner). The list only contains offers whats to do with Avalon ASIC Chips that can be bought at Avalon store or at one of the many Avalon ASIC Group buys. There is a list with producers of complete miners including Avalon ASIC's (you cant send them your chips) below.

Note: Please check out for yourself if the developers are trustworthy. I didnt do this check for all of them, i only list them.

Please note that the prices most likely are still tentative!


*1 (Klondike) If you want to create a miner with this set you need: "Board, parts, oven (preferably with temp profile controller), skill, solder paste, stencil, technical aptitude, some inspection magnifier probably, tweezers (preferably vacuum), dexterity with tiny parts (0402 caps are the size of a grain of rice), soldering iron for fixes and thru-hole pins. Maybe I've forgotten something, but otherwise that's it."

Please give more details, ill add it here then.

The following list is for Sellers of complete Miners that include Avalon ASIC Chips and are ready to run. You cant send them your chips for these miners!

Note: Please check out for yourself if the developers are trustworthy. I didnt do this check for all of them, i only list them.


Please give more details, ill add it here then.

What do you mean with ETA? I guess its hard to tell when the design is ready and tested or how fast a miner can be created.
If you mean the info posted in this thread... once i see new info i will add it into the first post for a better overview.

Pretty hard for that estimate.

Depending on who is trying to get a jump on it and who might be lucky enough to guess right even before the avalon specs come out. Boards could even be ready before the chips are even shipped by some timelines... that means the time it takes to get chips to the boards would be the limiting factor in most of these builds. So conservatively a few weeks after chips DESCEND ON THE BOARD BUILDERS LIKE LOCUSTS for boards to start hashing in the wild. For a DIY who will get boards and either do the reflow at home or take it to a local SMT you might need to add a little time depending on their skills sets, but the PCB builders may even have working prototypes with those lose Avalon chips we have heard about so...when? Within 2 to 4 weeks of the chips arrival for most if the boards are up to snuff is my best guess on all the designs I have read about. That means if there are no BFL types PCB builders you might see more hash power come from DIY avalon chips than BFL can muster and cheaper.

right - they said they would provide a reference design.  But even if you use that you still have to get the PCBs ordered and the boards assembled.

@SebastianJu you made sense to my question. I wasn't sure what kind of "reference" Avalon was releasing though, but who knows maybe its an exact copy of their hardware. I just wouldn't know how one would start verifying the design before ordering X boards. I guess you would just order a few test boards then.


anyway, good info to have in a post!

Indeed! nice thread!

From burnin's thread I have found something very reassuring: He plans on doing a lot of stuff himself, but the part that is most time consuming, is contracted to another company that usually does this kind of stuff for electronics used in aviation.

Thats what avalon says: " communication protocol, reference board design provided in early May."

Added new prices of BKKCoins / Klondike Project and added a column for the name of the projects so forum search can find this thread easier.

But not the worst extend of a timeplan... there are others from other companies...
