[ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe

[joris]

Maybe noob question:

What is this line/file(?) in the directory of /home/pi/logs/ of the Bitfury chainminer logfile consolidation script by Jlsminingcorp and Isokivi?

Hi,
Niko
I've send you a few Emails asking about bulk chip order prices.
Is there any problem ?

Sorry Marto, I'm drowning in emails, just had someone take over the communication for me. We will introduce new chip pricing on the site this weekend.

Any news ?

Hello punin I have a few questions regarding units and shipping and a few other things.

Regarding the shipping of units if placing orders now are you still on track for shipment and getting hardware for October as am looking to buy.

With regards to shipping I see you ship within EU how does this workout for shipping tax? Is their going to be extra fees applied to units etc or import tax will be paid on units included in price.

The reason I as this is you have VAT pricing and that is value added tax if so then does that mean its exempt from tax in my country of residence as it has already had tax paid on it once already as I do not fancy paying 2 lots of tax on items when its expensive already lol.

For the units that are supplied are they fitted in any unit or just boards and cables ready to connect to psu and mine?

Have these components been tested in a water cooled environment as am maybe looking to liquid cool them and possibly make an oil mineral unit for them.

concerning the VAT ... for example I have no VAT applied for my country by bfsb, but I was taxed by custom for my country.

crazyearner: regarding VAT, it depends on the following:

1) If you are in EU country:

    1a) and you are a VAT payer (you are registered with your local tax office and have VAT ID assigned): fill in you VAT ID to bitfurystrikesback website and you will not pay Finnish VAT. You will pay VAT in your country instead, later when the taxation period ends and you submit your VAT returns documents to you tax office.

    1b) and you are not a VAT payer: you will pay Finnish VAT.

2) If you are not in EU country: you should not pay Finnish VAT. Instead you will have to run your package through customs and pay VAT or sales tax in your country, the customs tariff for electronics (in many countries that is 0%), and the fee for customs documents (if you are unable to fill them yourself).

The logger has been updated, it now saves multiple log files with running numbering.

Great update. I set numboards to 3 and logged for 6 hours. log of board two only shows the headline (chip#, ..) without any data. Plus http://anduck.net/bfsb/# seems not to be up to date, as the first two lines show:

Code:

Chip #          Settings        avg. noncerate  avg. hashrate   Nonces          Falses          Falses %        SPI errors      MISO errors     
Chip            ProgParams      0               0               0               0               0%              0               0             

Hope this is of some help to you guys, I'm the perfect beta tester, doing it murphys way (if something can go wrong, it will. especially if I do it)

Hi joris, that's some info about file permissions for some file, but it shouldn't be present in your output logs . It means that one of the awk commands isn't working properly for you. I'll send you a pm, so that we don't spam this thread with debugging.

Thanks for the update dani, this really helps (I don't have a miner yet (just a "simulated miner" on one of my linux boxes, so we're doing all the debugging by remote, which means that your feedback is really useful). I'll send you a pm so that we don't spam this thread too much with debugging stuff.

Punin ,
Thank you for the  answers.
Today I got the sample chips by Regular mail and punin is going to refund me the express delivery cost.
In the envelope there were 20 sample chips (ordered and paid 16) , thank you Punin.

Hi everyone, I'm new in all of this and am looking to start with some hashing.

What software and OS is preinstalled on the SD card that comes with the Starter Kit, is it some kind of open-source software?

Thank you in advance.
Happy hashing.

Welcome newcomer!

In my opinion, mining is nearly not worth the effort. If you expect the Bitcoin to gain in value, it makes more sense to buy Bitcoins directly. If you don't expect the Bitcoin to gain in value, then there is no point where your mining gear break even with network speed doubling every month.
That said, my august Bitfury works like a charm, hashing at nearly double the promised speed (thank you Punin).

Regarding the software - Bitfury runs customized Linux distribution. There are some software source files (C++) on the SD card, but I'm not sure if they are all that you need to compile everything yourself.

Yes,

you can build it yourself with a

Will a brand new rPI model B(eg. bought from element14 with standard Linux based OS on a 8GB SD card) work as well or I would need to make a few modifications in order for it to work?

You'd need the software from bitfury (so ideally their SD card image), but I believe that the RPi hardware itself is not modified (just plugged into the m-board via the GPIO pins). Bitfurystrikesback will throw in an RPi + SD card etc. with the starter kit anyway, so there's not really any need to buy another one (unless you are worried and want some backup hardware in case the original RPi goes down).
