DRILLBIT SYSTEM Miners - Avalon range available - Now $104.99!

[fsgr]

Check drillbitsystem.com/forum . They probably do and theres instructions for most of the known programs.

Just watch out if you intend to buy from drillbitsystem.com since Barntech, the person administrating sales , has not been posting since July. I wish him well  whatevers his reasons for silence.

Thank you, it does appear things are not currently active there. Its a pity because I have been looking for some reasonably priced usb miners and them being in Australia was a real bonus. Oh well the search continues.

Check ebay there. I'd think I'm not the only one trying to sell my boards though I'm in the U.S.

If you ask a question there Barntech may not answer but there are probably other still checking in on the page.

BTW his address was on the page... you could send a normal letter with signature confirmation to see if he's still there.

Apparently somethings going on with Barntech as the alternative forum is gone. I can only hope the bad news ends with the website and that nothing directly occurred with those directly associated with drillbit systems.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The website is still up.
Maybe they are having hosting problem.
I think they are just busy with other things in life.

Exact error message:

Yea but 4 months without a peep is unlike Barntech and even then Angus would say something. He usualy would at least chime in every few weeks even if it was to clean spam. I keep telling Australian tourists to keep their eyes open just for my sake .

Hey has anyone ever come across an UPS or EAN number for the drillbit devices. I'm trying to make a page for it on amazon to sell my 4 blades and miniplane and it won't let me pass without one. If someones already built one on amazon let me know what the page is and I'd add it to the used inventory.

I'd like to try for 75USD a Piece for my bitfury boards  [flat rate Medium box rate shipping USPS] or the set of 4 for 200USD+- with miniplane and same shipping option [flat rate medium box USPS]

Shipping estimates outside U.S might be 26USD+-[non business address] So I'll cross that bridge if I have to, but at least with Amazon I'm limited to the U.S and don't have to worry about import fees or paperwork.

Thanks for any info or offers

I darn well don't want to sell them each .... too much support questions with no drillbit forum to point people to [though someone might be interested in an each price]. At least if Barntech knew he was going off grid for whatever reason we could have exported the forum elsewhere.

There's still people looking for u3 devices and ours do just as much as they still do. Why else would I have bought Barntech's item at prices he listed. Theres still devices built without control chip built in if you buy bitfury straight from bitfury.

Would be nice if there was a hint of activity from Drillbit.  Nothing in months off of Barntech's account, no response to messages and e-mails (contact form runs into the same db issue that the forum and online store do).  I don't suppose anybody's tried the phone #

Tried the phone and left a message.  He is probably still on holidays somewhere... The holiday season here lasts till somewhere in Feb.

Cool, at least their phone still works 

I personally think he has moved on to other projects. That last run wasn't very profitable I guess. He almost had to giveaway that last batch of the Avalon miners.
Not good for business I take it.

[techman05]

It would be really annoying if that was the case . Avalon wasn't supposed to be the end all. I was expecting avalons for print price and on to the next best thing so I'd hope he didn't put all his chips there.

I did on a good side do a google on barcodes and they can be bought reasonably cheap for about 20$ for a handfull of them on nationonwidecode.com . I didn't notice bitmain products having one so I don't know if they fudged the numbers to get on amazon.

If I do get stupid and get barcodes for at least my bitfury. I'll post them here and hope I scrapped the information off the drill bit store before he removes it(info goes into a database for the product s), so it can be done right. At least they provide U.S barcode and European EAN codes so I won't leave you in the dark.

Can anybody give me exact setup instructions for the avalon 16 drillbit and where can i get the firmware for it or reset it to factory setup. My friend pressed the button on it and the green led has gone out.. Help please??  Drillbit site and forums not working
