At a minimum, I am sure you will have to configure your main pool and failover pool in cgminer.  I don't know if they will include a configuration script or GUI to streamline the process.  If not, there are plenty of Cgminer config guides for setting up pools etcetera.  Usually USB devices don't require much configuration in Cgminer.  Maybe at most a USB driver installation.  Nothing like setting up a GPU and clocking it.  ;-)

Yeah, I can do all that. I was thinking about how I had to build cgminer with all the AMD SPP and then the settings to get the GPUs to work and all that.

What kind of support do you need?  You don't even have a product yet.  

You obviously don't care about the answer, but to help you out since you must bypass the messages that have been posted already:

- Changing "refund" status in account that is incorrectly listed.
- Changing Addresses
- Answering general questions on ownership transfer (yes or no on it being blessed by them would be nice)
- Helping those with Bank Transfers that show as paid, but aren't reflected on their account page

The list goes on I'm sure, as it's clear that Terrahash doesn't answer their support tickets. Why implement it, if you aren't going to respond to tickets? Outside of the people that have stated they had problems and are not getting a response, one would tend to go a bit further and believe that once we get their product, issues with the product will not be resolved in a timely manner. You guys keep stating that they are simply waiting for the Avalon chips (Which I don't believe that's all they are doing, I'm sure they are busy with other preparation), but if this is the case, wouldn't it be a great time to answer the support tickets?

Again, it was very funny to me that Terrahash didn't like the lack of info on the Avalons, when their support system is setup and apparently goes directly into their trash folder.

I have no other complaint with them outside of this, and it is a big concern because it will most likely be no different after the products ship. Sheep should not just follow the flock without question.

Anybody in here know who this is? I found this interesting,,,ships september 9th,,,,hmmm? notice the speed based on 350 m/h per chip,,,so how can this be? Surely its not Knightlife? lol,,,you live in the bay area,,,,who ever it is,,,it looks pretty cool,,,,but I would like to see a video of it hashing at 22 g/hash first! before i Bid on it... sounds familiar huh?

It's not me. Interesting case design though.
Looks a little large for only 4 k16s. I would assume it could house more. I like the definite delivery date.

(Side note: My eBay seller ID is knightlife999 and I have 200+ feedback.)

Yes it is interesting,,,,Hey I know your seller ID I have seen ya in there,,,lol,,,but was almost coincidental...and I was only kidding you know Your now one of the most respected in here, you have contributed a lot...

Everyday I wake thinking ,,this is the day we will hear that the chips have arrived......lol,  in the meantime, I'm having a picnic mining FTC and selling FTC....lol more than one way to get that BTC still!

It appears the Avalon 3 units are shipping
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203745.720

From the speculation that I have garnered - it may be the case that they are waiting to ship out the bulk of their batch 3 units until they will be sending chips out. There were some very upset people when that first Zefir chip order went out - litigation threats even - I suspect Avalon is choosing to appease their unit buyers first (as they ordered first), and will ship out the rest of the chips soon after that.  We can only hope they do so in mass, or we will be waiting some still.

Wow,,, you could be right??? there sure is some happy campers there,wish it was out tracking getting emailed to us!

[MinermanNC]

Maybe they will ship the chips simultaneously...lol

Batch 3 avalon miner order numbers 51xx 6xxx and 87xx all got tracking today. Well I won't say all, but it seems avalon is making their way through batch 3 at a good rate (notice I didn't use the word time) now.  Hopefully chips aren't too far down the road.

I'm excited!

What mining pools are you guys going to be using?

What wallets?

I'm thinking about skipping the wallet, and going straight to coinbase insta-sell.

I usually mine on Bitcoin.cz aka Slush's Pool,,,and occasionally BTC Guild cause of all the fancy statistics,,, but overall Slush's seems to make the most money for me. ( when I was GPU mining BTC) Coinbase would be a safe bet to send you payouts to if you plan to sell your coins. I still have mine come to my own wallet as its easier for me if I want to purchase things on line with BTC.

My friend and I are creating an Asic friendly virtual server P2P pool mining site - HugPuddle.
We are currently conducting Alpha testing.
Here is the link 108.161.129.247:9332
To mine, you use your BTC wallet public key as your -u and anything for your -p. There isn't a login.
We are striving for low latency and low orphans. So far so good. Our curve gets better everyday.
We will be using our 50 gigs on this site No fees for us, and low fees for you - 98% is yours.
1% to HugPuddle - 1% to the P2P Pool open-source developers.
Our unique angle is our virtual server with additional load-bearing features so there will be no downtime and maximum hashing at all times.
Like I said - we are finishing up Alpha testing and you are free to Beta test it with whatever BTC hashing power you have, be it GPU's or Asics.  We want to make sure it can handle all types.
We currently have GPU and USB ASICminers on it
A more formal website is in the works

I think I am going to use Eclipse: https://eclipsemc.com/

As for wallet, likely Coinbase (but hold on possible price increases in BTC) but maybe just blockchain.info

Hey Atomsea...will copy this info...may give it a shot, i havent had a lot of luck $ in the past with p2p pools (LTC and FTC)....but always willing to take another look! I may be ordering some usb asics now that price is dropping on them,,,will see if it connects,,,keep us posted in here thx

Hugpuggle, that's adorable

Do you have a website of any kind?

I think I am going to use Eclipse: https://eclipsemc.com/

What draws you to eclipse?





Has anyone tried eligius? They seem to have a really interesting payout scheme

How are their stales?

[bebfoo]

What draws you to eclipse?

No fees, decent stats. But to be honest I haven't strong feelings one way or the other.  Do you have any issues/concerns with them?

[xyzpdq]

Is anyone planning on using the TH hosting service?  Any thoughts?  It seems like a good deal on the surface, but I am skeptical that I am missing something.  Can anyone give good reasons not to use it?  Thanks!

A little tidbit from bkkcoins (below) regarding a question ask by bebfoo earlier today....this has been a bit of a question in here last couple of days regarding how a k64 will be powered...one pci-e or 4?? this kinda gives us an idea, but i guess we will have to trust that terrahash has this already figured this out and knows that the k64 will chain properly?
 
bebfoo ask:
So Bkkcoins: will you be producing K64 boards (4 K16 all on one PCB board) or no? Wondering how Terrahash will be getting the K64 boards for the DX large boxes...

BKK answer:
I doubt I'll actually produce any boards or design layout for K64 - though technically I kind of have one in my hand right now. A 4up panel of K16 boards. A good layup of a K64 would join the klego pins and remove extra connector pads to save parts. However, joining together all the 12V power is difficult and would require a connector assembly that could take 4x as much current. It is probably is feasible to join each pair of K16s into one PCIe connector and save on 2 anyway. I don't think K64s should be built until working K16s are tested in chain configuration.

Yep, diversification is the key. I also have a bot trading BTC 24/7 for me. A little bit here and there and we will ensure success. Btw, thank you for the kind words in your previous post. Very much appreciated.

FYI,
I bought an asicminer usb from Canaryinthemine on Sunday for .55btc (shipping included) and received it on Wednesday. He is an excellent seller. I'm testing it on my RasPi to get the unit ready for my terrahash boards when they arrive. Those usb miners don't do much, but they are fun to play with.
