Payment sent a couple of hours ago, fingers crossed For those who got theirs already, three quick questions: - Do I need to solder wires from an ATX PSU directly into the connector, or are there already wires (even short ones) provided?
- To power-on a standalone ATX PSU, I just need to sink pin 13 to the ground, right?
- Do you think using a desktop grade fan (about 30 cm diameter) oriented at the radiator is sufficient (without manual OC = in factory state), in a way that makes the air flow go through the blades of course
Thank you very much for your advice, I'm so excited to get it

The green connector shown in a photo above is a screw terminal - bare some wires and screw into it. No soldering.

I got my tracking number 51 hours after paying them. However, they clearly shipped well within their 48 hour guarantee. On the one hand, I am impressed. On the other hand, considering that with the price they are charging an optimistic ROI is 9-12 months I would expect nothing less.

My second comment was an obligatory stab at BFL, I see the mindset of their poor customers the same as victims in a Ponzi scheme "It'll be okay, just have to wait a little longer". If any large players have hiccups getting their millions of TH's online that 9-12mo ROI can only be decreased and even if everything goes smoothly for everyone, where else in this day and age will you get an ROI < 12months (and in an appreciating currency as well!)?

Received mine earlier today, total shipping time was like two and a half days. It is hashing right now at 10,745MH without any tweaking. This post is a great help on the setup. Piece of cake, though I am pursuing another method to mount the board. I knows ASICMiner uses blade-style rack boxes but some screw mounting holes on the PCB would have be extremely helpful.

I knows ASICMiner uses blade-style rack boxes but some screw mounting holes on the PCB would have be extremely helpful. ty Hi let me introduce myself, us www.asicgigahash.com is the 1st UK based company offering services in relation to the Avalon ASIC Chips. At this time we are simply offering ASIC Chips available for purchase on our website, we are working in conjuction with many software developers & electrical engineers who can assemble these chips onto the "k16" klondike board. "evilscoop" As many of you may know GPU mining will cease to Exist in the next 3 months with avalon asic's being readily available of the shelf. We aim to offer complete ready to mine bitcoin rigs on a "k16" giving a hash rate of 4.5gh/s ~282mh/s per chip. we also are looking into having a fully functional Mining farm with the option to simply hire out GH/S "this then you do not require to order your own Avalon ASIC, you can simply hire Hash rate from us that bitcoins will be generated daily & sent direct to your wallet, (this is yet to be confirmed) Please visit us at www.asicgigahash.comKind Regards www.asicgigahash.comBegone troll *shoes*

maybe you guys can give me a hand, those who have the blades up and running:
i just got the first shipment of the AM USB miners. blugged it in, installed the apparently required c210x uart bridge driver and... well, cg miner doesn't see it at all.
|
i don't post much, but this space for rent.

Probably want to find a USB miner thread, the blades are completely different and don't use cgminer at all.

Friedcat responded to my second e-mail. 49.99 BTC sent to him. He did say that if they were out of stock, that the funds would be refunded. I am wondering if they aren't making anymore?

Could be just between batch shipments, or they're expecting the new revision asap?

I had the same reply on Thursday. I believe it's a standard reply, and they still have some in stock at the moment. I paid 2 hours after friedcat's reply, and I just got my tracking number. Blade on the way. Excellent job, ASICMINER always reliable, so rare in this business, very much appreciated.

Received mine today! Half an hour of setup later it was hashing away at 12780 MHS @ 99% efficiency out of the box, I didn't even have to calibrate the voltages since they were done @ 1.2V already. Will be coming up with a way for a permanent mounting solution in the next couple of days which I will share.

It was waiting for me this morning when I arrived at the office, but it was way too fast... I had planned to buy the PSU and the fans after work, now I'm wasting 12h hashing just because friedcat & DHL were too fast It is so nice too see that deadlines are always met with friedcat. More power to him
