So not following the ROI logic here..
No. Following the cost of components and assembly and price of development... So I should purchase the board to not be able to get back my ROI?  Pet peeve #32: People who put smiley faces after sarcastic, disrespectful or inflammatory comments. As if that makes the remark less argumentative and softens what is otherwise prickish statements.

Hi Lucko
Will "Cointamination" appear in the miner software as one device? Or can it be configured as multiple devices?

If you are talking about MrTeal or Cannery then yes... If you are talking about someone else don't know... Hi Lucko

If you can "split" BFL device then yes but I don't think you can. I think you can't do that with any device... And why would you? Even if you do so you still have them in same miner and on same pool... |

I received some production BFL chips today. Mine came in a tray rather than in tape form like af_newbie's, for some reason.
I guess I'll be ordering some boards up here soon.

I would have ordered further in advance, but I wasn't too sure of receiving the chips (I bought from another forum member). I've placed my order now, but it needs some manual processing in the web store. I've PM'd JJ. |

My 112 chips are now on their way to Lucko by EMS. Here's hoping they soon make their way onto boards and into hashland. Since BFL chose the FCBGA package with a metal top cover, I will be disappointed if it's not laser engraved with a holographic BFL logo.
Glad to see BFL didn't disappoint in this regard.  |

Hello Lucko, Form Can you give us some news/update on COINTAMINATION 16 board testing? With Batch 1 delivery imminent, It is planed any deadline to order it? Regards I have send some emails to GB list... Have you forgot to give me your mail? Yes you should order by end of the week. I might not been clear on that... We don't have enough working samples for 16 board test. We got a lot of DOA... Could be BFL packing could be something else... Hard to say. We only know that all panic with soldering(first thing we thought it was wrong) and then checking board unnecessary. As I already explain we test that by moving chips around the board and see same chips working. But I agree until we have a working 16 chip board there is always possibility it might not work... Even if small really chance. JJ is gone again so I don't think it will work(he is working on his mining facility). He didn't finished store yet. For now I'm the one you PM And I'm taking care of all world at the moment Could you provide an address so we can send you our chips to mount on the boards you will host for us. Also please respond to the Emails regarding the 8-chip board arrangement. Much thanks! OK some bad news. JJ had to much work with his mining facility so he will not be able to work on boards as well. So we lost US mounting... Sorry... I will see if I can find a replacement or something but for now we are EU only... MikeMike. I give up when I was asked for 3th time... This is last time. As GB buyer you will get hosting (free you pay only electricity) for that board till other 8 chips arrive. You need to pay for 8 chip board and when your chips arrive pay difference to 16 chip board. To avoid re-soldering and possibly damaging chips I will make 16 chip board with my chips so there is no danger for chips. I'm doing my best to help all GB buyers so that my wrong estimates don't affect you too much... I think most will agree. But yes sorry forgot to send the address but there is that eBay think you suggest I'm waiting... Please understand that now that I need to handle US and EU I have much more work that I thought I will have and it is easier for me to miss something. So if I missed something. Some mail or PM please resend... I will adjust but I was not ready for that. |

I will PM you the Ebay Link now. We will pay for 8-chip board and send you payment for 16 chip board from GB#1 Also send you chips and payment for more 16-chip boards. Cheers! |

Lucko,
Since JJ dropped out will you still offer EU mounting for folks in the US who have chips already?

Yes I will... Lucko,
Since JJ dropped out will you still offer EU mounting for folks in the US who have chips already?
PM him. I'm in Canada and I delivered my chips to him yesterday. I think the cooling is being re-designed at the moment. The one JJ had was too noisy from what I heard. In few more days, we should see first 16 chip board hashing. Don't quote me on this. Lucko is the only one who knows the timelines... You are right... I had to work a lot today so I was away till now. I was also some time at assembly facility. There was a small problem since we used rev 1.2 boards. Rev 1.3 boards are just about to be delivered and this problem is solved there. We needed to add some more reference points on board. It is noting to do with electrics... So at this moment I did stop making process so we can change program for P&P machine so there will be no problem with boards made on rev 1.2. Will do all that is needed tomorrow and I was promised pick and place again day after... af_newbie don't worry your chips were not touch as promised I experiment with my remaining samples. I was just unhappy with positioning. It was just not good enough. Unfortunately that happens with first runs(till now we did board by hand)... Could do your boards by hand(chip part) but since cooling is not yet made I didn't. As explained in mail I had only one orders for test board and since I didn't had any orders by that time I didn't think I will need one so fast... So I repeat. Everyone start planing ahead. I don't have money for more then 10 boards stock so order ahead of time. |
