[ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe

1. any
2. any
3. any
4. none, passively cooled
5. any

Whatever is cheapest and quickest.

The most performance you can get without a fan.

Hex-spacers instead of case and cable chain for power (and data if not USB) so no more M-Board.

Actually, I'd like some comments from you...

- Would you like a USB miner or are you happy with standalone RasPi controlled unit?
- Do you feel modular design is important, or would you prefer a nice tidy box?
- What about form factor: free or rack?
- What dB level are you comfortable with?
- Internal custom PSU or ATX?

PI - no reason for USB other then troubleshooting made easy. if USB, people would simply run it to a PI
BOTH - modular is great, but a tidy 300GH box would be beautiful too and may be easy to run airflow through
FREE - but if following above suggestion, a rackable premade box would be nice
MINIMAL - I am happy adding my own fans, and a silent or quiet miner is nice
CUSTOM - a 'custom' 12V PSU is obviously most cost-effective

I like to picture 2 products coming from you:
1) system similar to the V2, modular and free-standing nd the most cost effective without psu included
2) system similar to the asicminer cube - standalone system with housing, heatsinks,fans,and PSU capable of 200-400GH that can be racked or stacked. i would pay a *small* premium for the simplicity and good design that could come with this option

1. whatever is cheaper and faster to develop
2. modular (there is no fun in nice tidy boxes)
3. free (kludgers gonna kludge...  )
4. very low or fairly high - very low at home, fairly high in the server room (that said, my BFSB rig is currently in the server room)
5. ATX is easier to replace, so I would stick with it

1. RasPi, cheap and out very soon
2. modular, we have plenty enough "hard" boxes.
3. free, you can offer some box if people want chassis
4. whatever, let me downclock to save some power and dB's if needed to mine in a bedroom(??)
5. custom 3kW @ 400eur with a high availability sounds good, make it compatible with user provided ATX (PCI-e power) if possible

- stand-alone with Ethernet
- tidy box (foofighter)
- free
- less then BFL
- external power supply

And 200+ GH per board.

Ok, you asked for it:

- No USB, it makes no sense right now to have 2 GHs units, it is just a waste of time using them
- break even in BTC and so it HAS to have a reasonable cost
- power efficiency, in the end, if you don't live in very peculiar places on earth energy costs a lot!

Noise and form factor have very marginal value.

What I'd really like to have is a more robust systems.

A system which does not depend on board order or ambient temperature.

A more robust m-board, current ones have too much flaky connectors.

Price, price and price, or as I said earlier, break-even in BTC is a MUST.

Standalone with ethernet - doesn't need to be a rpi, I don't want to have to manage a load more linux boxes, any <10Euro micro that can talk to a Stratum proxy will do.
Probably nice-tidy box or board on heatsink.
Free
Noise level - about the same as a PC if possible
External PSU

And I think these things need to start at 50-100GH/s - the network's moved on from 10GH/s being a load!

[greaterninja]

IMO, you guys need to bring chip prices down...not january... now.   Europe, America, Asia should pool funds so we can order 500k to 1,500k chips for cents on the USD each.

I am also willing to throw 10k toward chip packaging services and help setup the deal.

1. Raspi is best, available everywhere in case of malfunction. Al this proprietary stuff is a pain to replace when needed.
2. modular, easiest to service
3. free
4. not an issue, I am using very silent shark fans
5. atx, again available everywhere. currently using Corsair AX1200i, shows me the Amps on every PCI power connector!

I like them as they are, no changes needed for me, I just want more of them  

What if I said I have a PSU that can deliver 3kW at a price of ~400€ and ~90% efficiency?

If one can power 2 full rigs I would buy 2.

How about 4 of these ($483 total including shipping in the US)?:

Up to 92% efficient, fully modular, and top quality (Seasonic KM3 core). Each can power one full rig and be about 90% efficient. Watch out for similarly named older products that aren't as good.

- I hate how often I have to replace rPi SD cards, and I already have a host pc for other miners, so I lean toward usb connectivity instead of ethernet.
- I don't mind lots of separate units.
- Free is fine as long as it's stackable.
- Noise doesn't matter to me. I can't tolerate any noise in the house, so I run my miners elsewhere.
- ATX

I've made similar pool few months ago and it seems the results have not changed much.

[spiccioli]

BTW,

having some hardware way to isolate "broken" chips without having to cut traces on the board would be a good thing.

- stand-alone with Ethernet. Its the most convenient way. No PC/Laptop but self sustainable mashine.
- any

Niko, one question:

As you put the full kits together, you tested which card works best in what slot and marked them accordingly (A1, A2...).
Is there a special way to do this, or is it just like swapping the cards around and let them run some time?

I ask because I have a couple of single cards and would like to find the optimal way (slot?) to run them.

move them all around ... thats what i did

pretty sure it was demonstrated that shorting the jumpers by the faulty chip causes it to simply by skipped over the same was as cutting the traces would achieve *i think thats what i read*
