I want to get more miners assembled - where can I purchase Avalon chips from an early buy?
Thanks for the help! 

Willing to sell my 2x K64's and 1 K16's on Preorder #591 for $2600. PM me if your interested.

Just cancel your order. You should never have placed it if you didn't plan on mining with it. All you are doing is allowing people to skip line who were too stupid or lazy or unprepared to get in line with everyone else.

Which is a service stupid, lazy people like me appreciate.

I'm stupid, yet you don't know how to use commas.

Sir, you read it wrong. Please see Comma Usage #5 for more info :-P

Hi,

just a small question ... is there finally a proove for those additional aquired early avalon orders?

thx

[knightlife999]

I took pictures of the additional orders today. I'm working on the report and will post it shortly.

Hello crew,

I made my 2nd trip to Terrahash yesterday afternoon (Thursday July 18th) at 4pm. Amir and Ricky were expecting me and we had a good meeting. Though Amir made vidoes of the board hashing last week, I decided to make a quick video while I was there for confirmation that it is presently happily hashing away. I'm including a link to the video below. I recorded the board's performance on BTCGuild and CGminer  as it was hashing. We spoke about Zurg's order issue (1213 & 1336) and I believe we made some headway. We also discussed the progress of orders for general components and cases. The components and cases will be in stock and ready for assembly. There were no cases on-site for me to take pictures of. The DX Large case is at the fabrication company. Amir said that the DX Mini case is expected to be ready next week. He will post pictures of both cases when they are back at the office. He noted that the Avalon chips look to be all shipping at once, and I agreed that it seems to be the case. They allowed m to take pictures of the 3 Avalon bulk chip purchase invoices which total to 40K chips. I've included a link to the pictures below. We talked for a moment about pre-orders for "assembly only" boards. As he stated in the blog, once chips arrive, they will dedicate 50% of their assembly time to orders where they supply the chips and 50% to assembly only orders. With the speed of their assembly operation they will be able to complete our boards in 2 weeks after chips arrive as promised. After orders are fulfilled, they will set a date to begin taking orders from the public again. I confirmed that all boards will come with one I2C cable. Full cases will have everything needed to run the miner (if you selected to add a PSU). For those of us who did not buy a case, we will need to purchase a PSU (of course), PCIe splitters (If you're running more than 4 boards), and a USB A to Mini B cable. It was a good meeting and I am happy with how everything is coming together. The guys are working hard and doing a great job.

Visit #2 Main Topics Covered:

1. The K16 is hashing well and is still being optimized.
2. Components and cases are on schedule for projected assembly dates.
3. 40,000 chips on order have been confirmed. Orders dates/quantities are as follows: May 10th (10k), May 18th (10k), June 20th (20k)
4. Assembly will be split evenly between full board orders (chips provided by TH), and assembly only boards. All are scheduled to be completed within two weeks from arrival of chips.
5. All boards will come with (1) I2C cable.
6. Non case purchasers will have to purchase a PSU capable of powering all of your cards (with a little overhead left.. my preference), PCIe splitters (for more than 4 card miners), and a "USB A to Mini B" cable to connect the host board to your PC or Raspi.

We are moving forward and everything is going well. I hope this helps. Have a great day guys! I'm going to get some sleep.

Awesome knightlife999!
Thanks for a detailed report and helping me out on my issue.

[darkfriend77]

We are glad to announce that we  have secured two additional early-may Avalon ASIC pre-orders, each for 10,000 chips. With these additional 20,000 chips along with our own May 10 and May 16 orders, we have enough chips to ship all the orders received till now in the first batch.

late june <>  early-may


hmmm ....

so if avalon isn't delivering all batches together ... order number will be again the point of truth ...

[wallydz]

knightlife999 Thank you for your useful information

Made Donation for your effort thank you again

Final
When will be ready for ships to customers the k16 board ? At 15 or later???

It would be nice to get more details on this from Terrahash ... We want to know if customers who ordered full case but without PSU ($900 for DX Mini case or $1200 for DX Large) will have everything needed to run miner except PSU.
I want to make sure that I can start mining as soon as I receive my DX Mini (ordered without PSU because I already have one powerful enough that was used for GPU mining) or I need to order PCIe splitters. If you ask me it make sense to get the PCIe splitters as part of the expensive case but ... I may be dreaming ....

Ok, on PS issue,
what does everyone thinks of this one?

(I don't care about power $ or noise )

I am looking to power 3 or 4 K64's and 2 K16's
Maybe even run my starter kit from BitFury.

Thanks

With 4 x 64's you would be pulling at the most if clocked up, maybe 650 watts with room....I'm thinking going with a modular myself...with 2x64's 2x16's for now If I were you I would go with newegg one with more power, I wonder if those have the 24 gauge wire as described by BKK ... something to consider

I wouldn't mind getting 2 PSs from MicroCenter also. With that 1 can fail 1 still runs until I drive to get new one. lol

I want to get more miners assembled - where can I purchase Avalon chips from an early buy?
Thanks for the help! 

Willing to sell my 2x K64's and 1 K16's on Preorder #591 for $2600. PM me if your interested.

Just cancel your order. You should never have placed it if you didn't plan on mining with it. All you are doing is allowing people to skip line who were too stupid or lazy or unprepared to get in line with everyone else.

Blow it out your ass...Did you pay for my order? No... you didn't... I did... and as any other property I, not you or anyone else get to make the decision of how best to utilize the investment. If someone else is willing to purchase my order, they will do so at a small premium, It simply the cost of being late to the game and for doing so they will get the same benefit that I paid for. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you have a problem with this, then next time wake up and O'dark thirty and place order #1 and you'll never have to worry about it. Otherwise, please keep your comments to yourself in regards to other peoples business.

Give the guy a break, geez, he is charging like $57 a GH for his order, if I had the cash I'd jump on it.
If you can get 40-50gh of mining power (essentially in less than 30 days) for that price tell me where.

VERY fair price.

(have you guys seen the douches selling 60GH BFL units for BTC95 each and getting people to pay it, thats like $142 a GH)

Those are all pictures of the old revision boards hashing, have they ordered/received BKK's final design yet?

You do realize BKK finalized his design probably 48 hours ago and even he does not have any?!?!

My guess would be they would be on order shortly.

Well, I guess that helps explains terrahash's reluctance to release the proof of "early-May" purchases.
