Thanks jedi, I've been waiting for my account over there to be approved for several days now. That's what was making me wonder if he was still away.

What do you mean "can not open drillbit forum"? The site is up from here at least...

Never mind the forum opened just now Just made a profit calculation based with current difficulty 1,418,481,395.00 The 7 boards do around 110 Gh, they pull including 4 cooling fans and the usb hub and htpc (3 core amd) 270 watts Electra price in dollars 0.37 Kw/h Resulting in : Coins per 24h at these conditions 0.0390 BTC Power cost per 24h 2.40 USD Revenue per day 31.12 USD Less power costs 28.72 USD System efficiency 407.41 MH/s/W Hardware break even 93 days Net profit first time frame -44.75 USD but sadly only 1 day left till next diff 1.8 billion + http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

You can check with your repairer, or simply try to update the firmware to the latest one of one of your boards, and see what is reported. Cgminer 3.10.0 (the official release) now supports these boards. I have been using it for the last 2 days (for the Thumb too). Regarding HW errors - you may want to try different settings and find the optimum one regarding hash rate and errors. I'm getting about 3.1% HW errors at a hash rate of 22.5 GH/sec (avg), with a temp of 29-31C (and plenty of good cooling, NOT just a single fan above the boards). Good luck

I have 4 drillbits and a miniplane. One drillbit does not power up. They have never been overclocked, always fan-cooled. All for sale as-is to the best offer, or 3 BTC buy-it now. PM me to confirm a deal.

You might sell them faster if you post on the drill bit forum and post your continent.

I doubt it, this thread is more active than the drillbit forum. I see some drillbit boards on eBay atm. (search on bitfury to find them)

I think at those prices I'm waiting to see if Barntech turns on his AC and wakes up with the avalon chips (Last thing I heard Australia was under a heat wave) .
I so thought we'd be swimming in chips this month by now.

This is what Barntech posted on the Drillbit forums back on the 6th. he doesn't seem to have surfaced since: As for the Avalon hashrates, the chips do about 1.6 GH/s so the 16 chip board will come in around 25 GH/s. Still working on the pricing. I'll get that up soon. We'll probably just do one run of these because the chips aren't all that exciting to be honest.
Also, its looking like more bitfurys will be available soon so we might be looking at doing some more of those. This time probably the turbo design which can squeeze some more juice out of the chips.
