Updates...
Tracking is unfortunately down so I don't know where pacage is. I hope form gets it today...
I have a backup plan ready. MrTeal and I are working it out for me to licence his board... Unfortunately that second solution could cost more...

Well I haven't jumped ship. I have no where else to go so I (we) are counting on you.
Me too, It is difficult for me switch to another solution now I would prefer to know board problem before take any decision. Board is definitively not recoverable? Or is recoverable but not on an reasonable time frame? Regards |

I have one of Mr.Teals Chilli boards. It's a good board (quiet) but it does cost more for sure. |

Yes but lack of documentation is making it difficult to get them out of customs... I got no replay from BFL about batch 2.... |

Or is recoverable but not on an reasonable time frame? Regards Hard to say. It could turned out to be a simple fix or error on a component or  new board... So as long as I don't know that it is hard to say. But new board would take some time... |

OK, Only one more thing: I don´t have all information but recover last working design and revert to older conirado boards is a possibility ? |

It can be a quick fix for me. My question was to ask if Coinado was still possible, or is the Cointamination board just 2/4 Coinado's joined up to one controller? |

Coinado is the same board but doesn't have 3,3V power supply... It comes out of computer PSU. And it is the same as Cointamination just 1/4 of the power. So only 4 to 5 chips possible... If this one has problems that one will have them too... And we don't have boards ready so it is the same as if we make new board(MrTeal or fixed Cointamination)... |

Not yet(if you look at tracking)... They don't like the fact that there are 3 chips missing(samples send ahead). I'm guessing that this is a case could be something else I know that I have invoice for 200(batch 1) and 116(batch 3) and the number don't match(this is how was explained to me)... Could be some extra chips don't know... They contacted BFL for explanations... I also resend mail(John) couple of times and calling number in mail(John). No replay or answer... But my BFL account shows batch 2 as not paid... I did send link on Bitpay to John that show it was... |

Tom (JJ) has mailed a check with tracking # to reimburse me so now I can pay Lucko directly for assembly.
Tom explained that he invested a lot of his own money in this project and had no intention of scamming anyone.
I got my full reimbursement check from JJ and he sent my chips to Lucko who is trying to get them out of Slovenia customs. I was the first person to get bulk chips so I've lost significant hash time but JJ is out significant investment in time and money for parts and Lucko and his team are trying hard to fix their boards. So just to be clear, there is no evidence of a scam here. |

Well it will require new board for sure to fix this. Changing firmware didn't help... Chips are definitely different. They have engine 0 working... So that is a bonus but unfortunately this chip change by BFL is not compatible with this board(not engine 0 itself but the way they act at low voltage at startup(we think)). I think the only way is Chili since redesign would take just too long... So I will go with backup plan... If anyone doesn't like that let me know and I will send him chips and refund(if he paid already). So for thous interested in Chili board it will be done the same way as it was done by MrTeal https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304250Batch 1 will have price of 320$ for any new order and 300$ for already received and paid orders, groupbuy buyers and chips donors. After that there will be small batches and price will got up to 350$. Since I lost massive amount of money on this I need at lest 50 paid boards orders to start. I don't have enough to start without that. Need to pay licencing and new batch of boards. If I can't get that many orders I will just refund anyone and send you chips. Sorry... Timeline. After I get 50 boards paid I will paid for licence and get files. After that I need 5 to 10 days to get new boards and max 5 days to get them assembled... After that I will need some time to program and test then. I was told it is about 10 minutes per board. So I will need some time to do that as well. Don't know how many boards will be but will be processed in a order of arrived orders. I will do my best to do all ASAP but it will take till 11/15 do 11/18 in best case if I get enough orders over the weekend. How to order: You fill out this order form: https://docs.google.com/a/prorang.si/forms/d/1SeHqK95mbnxvvGqWmIjLM2L1nTFd5DSQDrfFwhWt3Zc/viewform Batch 1 orders will be open till boards will be available or send to assembly. After that you will need to wait for Batch 2 boards. Possible additional parts: Thermal pads for chips. Enough for 1 board (5$). http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16875/thr-161/Fujipoly_Extreme_System_Builder_Thermal_Pad_-_Full_Sheet_-_300_x_200_x_05_-_Thermal_Conductivity_110_WmK.htmlPCB PC BRACKET STD PCI (3$). http://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Keystone-Electronics/9203/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtzcnMBgC2bs6gC270mlsjAcmixu2SULFc=Will add some coolers when I get the idea what is needed. I have already bought 1 Chili from MrTeal so I will be able to test that soon... |
