Who are you buying from?

We are purchasing as a group from a group called BPMC Big Picture Mining Coop.
We are a very organised group of people who will have k1 units ready to ship in 3-4 weeks
We are a group based in Indonesia and we have members from all around the world.

What do you receive?

You get a ready to hash complete k1 with heat sink, avalon chip and board all assembled.
We are planning to get these units hashing at 350 MH/s. Possibly more.

Price?

The cost per k1 is 0.8374 0.77 BTC assuming we are able to reach the minimum of 50 pledges.
The price will not change depending on the quantity you purchase.

Yes feel free to pm questions or just post them in the thread. We will do our best to answer all of your questions.

[gary492]

so how much hash rate will it do

[Bicknellski]

so how much hash rate will it do

Chips rated 282 Mh/s. BKKCoins has 341 Mh/s as very stable 0 errors under prototype conditions. Likely 341 is not the upper limit for a K1 air cooled with a fan.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=190731.msg2705473#msg2705473

Note: to others with boards, eg. TH. If you can get ferrite beads (as in updated BOM) then you may want to test with them cut into the AVDD PLL power lines on each chip). I can't say if they'll help but they could make all the difference here, and it would be nice to know for a final board.

update: 350 MHz, 7 for 522... 1.3% errors.

K1

Hashing @ 300 mhz


Hashing @ 350 mhz


We run it for short periods 2-3 min , because there is only heatsink

PM'd !

[zackclark70]

were would they be posted from ? and any idea on postage costs to the uk ?

[gary492]

so do you have these in hand

[Beastlymac]

Items will be posted from Indonesia. Not sure on postage costs right now as we are talking with dhl about that currently. We can definitely ship to the Uk though.

so do you have these in hand

No we do not have these on hand as the k1 design will to be finalised for another 3-4 days and the chips won't come for another week. After that they go straight into production. So we should be ready to ship in 3-4 weeks.

[Beastlymac]

Group buy is now OPEN

[Bicknellski]

No one does.

Pentel Asks:

Any update on the Klondike K1 Nano USB Bitcoin Miner's?

BKK Responds:

I expect to complete a final revision of the board in a couple days, and then order a batch for final testing. The K16 has been verified and this is based on that, uses same firmware and cgminer driver, which are working, though quite basic still. Once boards are ordered I'll have time to polish the code and get a bootloader added (which allows upgrading via USB).

For anyone planning to use the board design for their own project / products, note that I will be changing it to the QFN version of the PIC and the parts list will have some changes.

The K16 has been running quite well for me in testing. The HW error rate is still a bit high and I think some board changes planned will help with that.

Our best hope will be Avalon chips arrive in 2 weeks or less.

We also hope to have Gerbers next week and pay for our Fabricator to source BOM 2 weeks.

If everything aligns properly then production starts 2 to 3 weeks from now.

That would be sweet... but luck would have to be on all our sides and shipping would follow the 24 hour burn in time.

I haven't seen it happen again after changing the USB cable to the high quality one from my Canon camera that has a ferrite core near the board connector.

I've wired in the inverters now. The signal has very sharp/fast rise times now and it's easy to see the clock delay is 50nS. I tested it manually in ktest and got all GOOD nonces up to 420 MHz doing repeat work filling the queue . At 430 MHz they came back BAD.

Unfortunately on cgminer the error rate hasn't improved. I haven't run that long yet but I'm seeing 3% - 5% error rates. I believe this is now related to noise on the PLL and instability. It can go quite a long time with no errors, and just when I think Ok, it's down to 1% now, but then a bunch pop up and it's back to 3%.

I'm moving onto final board revisions now. Hope to have a new K16 release later today and k1 tomorrow sometime.

[Beastlymac]

First 2 have been sold. Contact me if you are interested. These k1's will be more powerful then the Asicminer block eruptor usb and CHEAPER! These are capable of at least 400MH/s

[Stinky_Pete]

I'm interested in a small number (2 or 3 perhaps). What is the postage to UK? Will they get stuck in customs?

These are the postage options.
EMS PRIORITY MERCHANDISE   USD 33,85
EMS MERCHANDISE   USD 30,11
Express Pack   USD 50,70
Ordinary Pack   USD 28,80

I don't think it will get stuck in customs as it is a small package but I can not guarantee.

All buyers are responsible to at least check with customs in their country regarding any computer peripheral devices like these USB miners.

This is the same as the other usb miner.. no ROI.

That is incorrect depending on how high you clock these you can get a ROI

What is the shipping cost to Canada sir? Interested in 1 or 2 of these.
