pcb board assembly for 18gh is 7btc or $798? a 60 chip in a 6 pcb? that is very expensive, maybe i should get a thread offering a much cheaper option.
Amir has 13 posts and he is providing a service ... better be careful.. he does not accept Escrow ..
Actually if you read the listing on the site or you had read the klondike thread or even just the title you would know that it is actually 64 chips on 4 boards.Not sure why you assumed 6 boards and 60 chips.Also I find it a little strange that terrahash does not know his product offering enough to correct you.The 1.99 btc deal is actually reasonable (not an amazing deal but competitive) considering it comes out to approx .031 btc per chip,other people are offering 10 chip boards at approx 1 BTC(fully assembled,using current exchange rate).I know Bkk is offering raw(no chips attached) boards at somewhere btween 2.60-5$usd each but they are in Thailand and the shipping will be adding a significant cost to the transaction.Now the fact it does not come with PSU has to be taken into account but even with the added cost it is still reasonable IMO. I AM IN NO WAY endorsing this product offering:I am just pointing out mistakes in your assumption and laying out a little comparison of other product offerings.With that said I will be watching this offer carefully because I believe it is one of the best offerings I have seen if he can get the product out the door in a timely and efficient manner. |

Very good business decision - glad someone was willing to act on the opportunity to do this (fortune favors the brave).
If you have working units (in a reasonable timeframe) I will likely be a customer.
Keep the info flowing as you make progress...

Might look at buying 1-2 of those 10 of those DX Large (10 board). Seems like a pretty good deal (if difficulty increases as I hope it will  ). |
Making Apps and Websites for people. I charge reasonable rates ($30-40/hour in BTC).

My post was not been specifically aimed at you, more a general answer on other post but yeah, you're not excluded from that. Of course you do not need to have a Bitcointalk account with hundreds of posts but of course the lack of them will not make people completely comfortable.
On the other hand, what's the guarantee that a person with a 3 year old account with 500 posts will not scam anyone? And don't tell me thats never happened. What I am trying to say is, judging someone by the number of their posts is just like judging someone by the color of their skin. Did you just compare skepticism of newly created accounts to racism? |

Why no escrow?
How is your backround in business generally or in the manufacturing electronics scene?

I'll take one for the team and bite.  @Terrahash, when will the website allow for pre-orders, or are you going to wait until you have products ready to ship? |

@Terrahash: why did you change your address to 1261 Birchwood Dr. (an empty place up for lease), after someone (Inspector 2211) found that on your first address mentioned, 1258 Birchwood Dr., there was nothing to be found?
ps got this info elsewhere so I'm not stating the above is accurate.

One option that I wish that was available was to have either the 16 or 64 board to order without Avalon chips being installed. Hopefully this would be cheaper and allow me to get a system up faster as I don't have to deal with the wasted time of shipping chips back and forth.

Could you guys also carry Burnins Avalon boards too as an alternative to Klondike?

So, you have access to a reflow oven? Just curious. Tricky warranty questions may arise if one of the reflow ovens (TerraHash's or yours) winds up not being calibrated properly and, as a consequence, damages/destroys one or more of the electronic components. |

Yeah I work for an electronics company that has a reflow oven I can use after hours. For me I am most concerned about the turn around time. If I can get a board from terrahash or directly from BBK that should help me to get mining with the chips faster. |

Well, when you get stock of the chips an start the manufacturing I'll probably be one of the first to order. Even for the small prebuilt mod board, 4.5gh/s for 2btc is great compared to using gpus. And it's small enough as an easy upgrade path for us smaller miners.
I hope it goes well for you Terrahash!

When is Avalon releasing the chip specs? All the designs are currently on hold because of Avalon's failure to release the specs. They said early may.
So many delays in this game! Suppose it kind of is a whole new type of device though, personal currency minter. Who reckons the CIA are playing dispruption?!  |

FWIW I'm getting the klondike design assembled by a local company i know - between 30 and 50 boards min. [would gladly pool an order with anyone local of course], i'll post my tiered price quote when i get it (e.g. price for 10/100/1000 assemblies) so you can compare
this is the type of thing that benefits greatly from economies of scale of course.

Do you have a plan for the solder paste stencil - e.g. source/thickness? Solder paste in mind? (Assuming everyone is going to use lead based since it reflows at such a nice low temp and is all around awesome) |
