Hi barntech,

I might be missing something, but I don't actually see the price of buying chips only. If possible could you update the front page with something like;

The new pricing is this:

Drillbit 8 Board - $425
Drillbit Thumb - $130
Drillbit Miniplane - $40
Bitfury Chip - $??

Cheers

Hi Barntech,

Great to see everything is progressing well with the drillbit family of boards.

Just wondering whether you'll be offering the thumb blank boards for sale as well and at what price?

Cheers

Any plans for a "full kit" type miner that does not require a USB connection ?
Buy a Raspberry Pi like everyone else does.


I intend to use my old Dell Mini 9. 5~6W at idle with networking and the screen off, and ~7W with light browser usage and the screen always on but at minimum brightness. Not too shabby for x86 and a first gen Atom on 945GM. Smiley

We are also looking at a standalone GUI to give you direct control over various parts of the board, allowing you to easily adjust voltage and overclocking of the chips.

Barntech

Any word on what platform this software will run on? Windows and/or linux? x86 and/or ARM? Or will it simply rely on cgminer to make those adjustments? I'm just curious as I've never had any luck getting GPU vCore settings for my HD7950's to stick in cgminer. Always needed to use Afterburner/Trixx.

Hi flemeister,

The cgminer program will run under all currently supported OS of cgminer as with other boards.

I have a HP Pavilion running my USB block erupters and everything runs fine.
 
There will be some custom settings and parameters for the drillbit boards, but you'll be provided with everything you need to get up and running from the day you get your unit, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi (which is Linux) and Mac OS.

Just remember the thumbs (1 chip) will require a powered USB hub able to provide 500-900ma per card.

Hey guys, in the email form, what do we need to put as the "Sending Address"?

Googling it just made me more confused lol. Is it just the address we send the BTC to? Or is there a specific address on the transaction's blockchain.info page that I need to quote? Huh

Thanks. Smiley

EDIT: It's just whatever my main receiving address is isn't it?

Hi flemeister (or can I call u flemmy),

Yes it just the address from which you sent the BTC's from (if you only have one address - it would be your receiving address). It helps in the verification process. Also don't forget to get the TX id.

I just went through this process myself.

Hi bizwoo,

As with the others in these 2 group buys you've run, looking forward to delivery of the chips.

I'm very impressed with the way you've managed both group buys.  Especially, with the forward thinking to consolidate other group buys to complete the latest purchase.

I'm hopeful, that you'll start a 3rd Group buy soon with the same intent as the previous 2.

Hat off for you excellent work, along with Nekonos for build services.

Best regards
Nex

Hi jelin,

The Group buy will have enough BTC because we've joined with several other group buys to meet the price ask to purchase the 10000 chips.

So what bizwoo is saying is that Sunday night the actual order for chips will be placed.

If you want to get more chips make sure you've sent the required BTC to JohnK escrow account before the close out time.

I like the professionalism that your Group buy offers.

I hope that this will be an ongoing facility after this initial buy is concluded.

Best price, has escrow, let's promote.

Re: Way to get round the 5 post limit...

Lets have a Bitcoin quiz. If folks score above 70%, then they can post immediately. It will help the more informed people get going and contribute right away while the real newbies can spend time in this forum, learn and make silly comments and suggestions (like this one).

Lol ruletheworld, that would certainly reduce the number of posters. I would prefer to see a peer review model introduce, where by senior posters can flag poster who abuse / spam the forum. These posters could firstly be warned, then if behaviour continues suspended from posting.

Yeah because it SO difficult to write 5 posts  Roll Eyes

Waiting for four hours is the hard part of being in the newbie zone - I mean how hard is it to write 5 posts!

Ethicoin, writing a post isn't hard. It is whether what your saying in the post is meaniful / useful. I need 5 posts so I can complete my group buy identification. The 4 hours was a bit of a pain as well.

I guess if you're new around here, it couldn't harm to do some more reading Smiley

The problem for many people actually is the reading thing. Reading requires a certain ability of understanding, disciplin and concentraion on the reading and not to forget some patience. Not everyone possesses these skills at a sufficient level.
That does not link especially to this forum, I am encountering this problem almost daily, even at the university.

Ghost42, I read a lot of post, but am not inclined to reply to a thread unless I'm going to be able make a meaning contribution, rather than "yeah, I agree..." peeps who just want the gratification of increasing # of posts / needing to be seen.

...it's so simple!

All you have to do is join in this thread and provide a better solution to the 5 post + time limit. If it works, it'll get implemented.

Please note, you have to fully explain why it's better than the existing system and explain how it'll work whilst being no more time intensive for Mods to implement.

Good luck everyone!

[Other newbies should feel free to discuss any solutions - pitch in, it's a community!]

My solution is to spam post in this thread 5 times...

I know it is meant to stop spam, but all you are going to get is 5 spam posts just so the person can post in the section they want.  I actually want to post in a thread I am buying some hardware from, but I can't unless I put 5 useless "+1" posts somewhere...

I agree bobsmith652, I've signed up for a group buy, but have do 5 lame ass post so I can PM and verify my identity.
