Right now, I'm waiting for my PCBs for the Avalon miner. In the meantime, I thought I can try to make a board for BFL ASICs, too. So, I sat down and played around with my CAD software. Delivery not certain. Better to work on a BitFury design as that is more in line with Avalon chips right? Same footprint. |

And bitfury chips have higher throughput with lower power consumption than the BFL chips. With Bitfury it could be possible to make an USB powered miner with more then a 1GHs/s (the specs are specifying a hashrate of 5GHs/s with only 2.5W power consumption). |

Did you still need Avalon chips?

I got two Avalon chips from SebastianJu. At the moment I'm happy with them. |

I don't think there are any BitFury USB designs right? - this the board that got 2.7 GH/s I think somewhere he posted the design, unsure. You need to mine that thread for info. if its not usb, then i think its easy to adapt to usb. |

Got my PCBs for my Avalon USB miner! Let's see if it is working!  |

That was fast... hashing already? I guess with such a large surface area.. you can passive cool it even with overclock. |

+1 for the Bitfury chip and please, can we just stay away from BFL? Why do we keep plugging them after all that has happened?? Right now, I'm waiting for my PCBs for the Avalon miner. In the meantime, I thought I can try to make a board for BFL ASICs, too. So, I sat down and played around with my CAD software. Delivery not certain.

And the assembled board: Wow! I like it more than the USB Block Erupter... and what about mining results? |

Just got the board to hash! Now the proof that the board is mining:  |

nice man! so what were the initial costs for that prototype? can you give us any estimations?

Message me if you have any problems

Outstanding. Would be real interested inBFL application.
Have chips on order.

Come on friend make bfl chips board .it is not necessary USB power.can you make it without USB power I think better is 4 chips per board |

Lower hash rate than the USB Block Erupter, but more beautiful.
Let's wait for some overclock and I hope aauer1 will sell some of those Gizmos, as I would love to buy one.
