[ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe

[klondike_bar]

"All bids are made by sending 1% of your target BTC bid price to 1HzNCRi3Qq3xKj9hyumLG6hhaYwaTPB7dq"

200BTC bid in place now it looks like = 0.015BTC / chip = 0.007 BTC/GHS approx
asking price on the site = 0.33BTC/chip = 0.15BTC/GHS approx

there is over a magnitude of difference in price

Punin, would you be prepared to assemble units for the person who wins the reel? Obviously they would have to pay for production costs.

Production costs should be known in advance, so if the answer to your question is positive, how much for assembling an H-board and how much for an m-board?

Order 220 just received. The august delivery promise was kept, but it was a close call. Got a starter kit with two H-boards, which greatly overdelivers the promised hashrate. The unit is hashing at around 40GH/s (+-3GH/s). Setup was really easy with the simple web interface, I just input my pools there and restarted the miner.

I'd like to invite everyone who is going to receive a unit to use a small pool and/or p2pool if the miner inside the unit can work with it.

There are several small pools, pools with less than 50 TH/s of capacity, which should/need to grow to be able to balance the one or two mega-pools available.

This is for the health of the bitcoin network, most of all, and given that BitFury is delivering several TH/s of hashing power this is a good moment for this call to arms

Could someone please provide step-by-step instructions on how to configure chainminer to run as a p2pool configuration??  I'm surprised almost nobody has documented that well enough on what needs to be done the rPi side.

I think I'm somewhat clear (although not 100% sure) on what software/steps that needs to run on my PC/host but I read somewhere that some chainminer files need to be updated on the rPi side.  I'd highly appreciate it.

Sadly it does not work with p2pool because slush's stratum proxy does not and chainminer has no stratum support.

So in the end, under bitfury we are trapped at the mercy of countless DDoS attacks. I have, and I expect many others too, lost LOTS of coins due to this severe limitation that leaves us absolutely defenseless. :-/

Is there any documentation, however limited or partially tested, on how to compile and run bfgminer or cgminer for bitfury for p2pool???
This is getting really painful.

arorts,

last time I compiled bfgminer it was working worse than chainminer.

I see that there are newer commits to the code, If I have some spare time I'll compile latest code and then leave a link to the executable here.

It rests to be seen if BitFury's chips are able to stop current work and start a new one without delays.

You can ask BtcGuild for a private stratum ip address.
According to him, those servers have not been attacked.

I haven't tried this but what is stopping you from running a p2pool node on a PC on your LAN and setting it's IP as the getwork address in jobconnect.cpp and recompiling?

I did not try recompiling jobconnect to point it to p2pool, but to avoid DDoS the first thing to do is to stop using BTCGuild and to start spreading your hashing power to more pools choosing smaller pools first.

[aamarket]

if somebody wants to try p2pool, you can use any publicly available, mine is here : http://aamarket.eu:9332 - not tested with bitfury yet, but worked with cgminer and bfgminer with GPU using either getwork or stratum before.
Use your btc addr as a name. I will be glad to assist.

[ktbken]

I have been running bfgminer on my pi in place of chainminer and have been connected to p2pool for the last day with no issues.

Less than 10 minutes to go on the reel auction!!

Meanwhile packaging is going really well, and we'll have a big shipment going out tomorrow!

Where will that put you up to (roughly) in the orders?

[punin]

All 600's have been completed and some of the 700's also. We'll be shipping them out tomorrow. It's not late to get UPS express upgrade if you want yours by friday

[Spathi]

Well, that doesnt help when my order is outside the 600s and 700s cos I did add/pay for the express shipping lol

Hopefully you will get to mine before my birthday

Great effort guys, thanks for all of the hard work!

You missed my birthday by the way .

[vvhiteknight]

Got mine today, been pulling my hair out all day trying to get all 16 boards to hash right. 3 of them refuse to hash over 16-17gh/s no matter what order I place them in.

They should be marked in what slot they should be placed, did you take care of that?

I did not see any speedup if I pay extra for UPS express. Unfortunately order are proceeded in order of submitting, no matter you have full set or only few PCB.
Patience, something that we learn in this business :p

I ordered a starter kit and 13 hashing boards and then a little bit later 2 more hashing boards giving me a full kit. However they were not marked for me, only 2 of the boards where marked.

[vvhiteknight]

So far I can say with certainty 1 of my boards is toast, dosnt work, starts off at 60gh/s and drops to 0. got 4 others that don't work well.
