Struth, this is moving along fast.  KNCminer watch out.

I assume you have had a heavy dose of Fela as well.  Saved me many a time.

I will test chips, PM me please...

Hi intron, can you clarify in which way you are involved with bitfury? Is this the official board bitfury/metabank yis going to use or is it just a prototype board? I didnt saw thr information, am i  blind or simply stupid?

I'm just one of the alfa-testers. bitfury asked me to post
the progress I make, so that's what I'm doing here in this
thread. Looks like I'm still the only one doing so:)

Propably becuse you are only one that recived chips. Great work by the way...

[nightyj]

intron nice work again, will you share any additional information abouth the chips you will use in these pcb, expecially the power supply .  I suppose you are the only one that have chips, once I receive chips will start showing test results too.

[intron]

Propably becuse you are only one that recived chips. Great work by the way...

No, there are more. No idea who they are or how many.

Intron -

I think I recall you mentioning that your original testing PCBs were designed for Avalon chips.  Are you planning on making Avalon compatible hash modules with Bitfury chips?  I am sure they would be a very popular upgrade with the Avalon chassis purchasers!

Yes, I started with Avalon. But I'm in batch 4 and I couldn't
get samples. So I jumped ship when the bitfury ASIC came along.

The S-HASH boards could work with any ASIC, just the interface
with the processor needs some re-work and possibly the power supply.
So when this is done and I can lay my hands on some Avalon samples
I will continue with the Avalon board.

Later when BFL ships there ASICs I try to make one for their chip also.

I am considering ditching my avalon Batch3 miner order for Bitfury tech.  The miner delays and chip sales have pushed the risk/reward ratio into unfavorable territory.  It looks like you have a big head start with bitfury.  Thanks for updating the thread on your progress.  Looking forward to seeing the products you bring to the market.

Me too. But where to buy? Batch #1 (Bitfury) is gone - right?

Yes, Batch1 is gone and there is no information about next batches

I think everyone is waiting for DYI solution with Bitfury's chips!

[FlappySocks]

Thats the hope.  5 of intron's boards will be as fast as a KNC Jupiter.

[dwdoc]

I think those waiting to buy Bitfury chips may be in for a long wait. As far as I know only Metabank and 100TH will have access to those chips (aside form testers). Does anyone else know otherwise?
