if so good! whatever is easier for burnin!

I think he asks because he should have enough time to implement it before the chips are shipped (if they are shipped in time by AVALON that is)...

I'd love to have the possibility to overclock my modules.

I think that would be cool, but we also want our boards as soon as possible :p

As i am finishing the hardware design a question popped up i'd like some feedback on:

Would you guys like software controlled over/under-volting?
I am thinking about providing 1.1/1.2/1.3V core voltage selection.

A per-module setting with automatic overclocking by the host software would require
huge changes to the protocol i can't provide in the given time.
But a per-cluster setting with manual overclocking would sure be do-able.
And as the Firmware is user-upgradeable more enhancements could be delivered later in deployment.


Yes, please! Like in Asicminer Blades. That would be a cool feature.

so basically we're just waiting for burnin to receive avalon chips and make the first board?



Yup.

And, well, german legal procedures for the company, although I think that one might be done already.

Great,
Other thing, imagine that there is no problem assembling the board. Someone still has to develop software for it? like drivers or something?

ok, if he needs help with the programing he can pm me. i dont use to program with low level languages, but i learnt few things in college

I have following proofs now: (have them as pics which I took during the visit) the hard facts

1) german passport, with ID number, picture
2) Meldunsgbestätigung Einwohnermeldeamt. (certification of registartion of city Hamburg)
3) formation of a company documents from notary public and adress. This information will show up in a couple of days also in the Handelsregister(Company Registry) in Hamburg. The clients will order directly from this company the boards.


So, can we please see 1, 2 and 3?
This is why you took the pics, right?



I know you would want to see them, but i don't think its safe to post personal information as passaports, id, etc here for everyone to steal.
You don't want your friend to go to jail because some drug dealer copied his passport :p

the thing is... is you buy one of those boards for 200/300$ with 2-4GHs, you would get return of your money in less than one month?

Well all you really need is a cheap low end system and then throw a good card or two, such as a 7970 or 5970, and then you have sort of a budget miner. Mining bitcoins really doesn't require much CPU power or RAM, just a decent graphics card or two. Or you could wait until ASICS are easy to get, but that might be awhile...

the problem is that people say when the ASICS come out it will be way harder to mine bitcoin

Hi have been reading few stuff about bitcoin mining. The most interesting until now for me was the BFL jalapeno. but they're still not shipping... and it would take a lot to get them.
I am wanted to get one right away. I was looking to get a whole PC with graphic cards, but i saw someone saying i wouldnt get my money back.
I saw this Klondike board someone in this forum is developping. And the other mini usb board, but it costs 300$ for 300mh/s which i think is very expensive!

any ideas?
