It'll take on average 1468 years to find a block with that little guy, which gives you a 1 in a million chance to get a block every 12 hours.

It's a pretty decent lottery ticket.

Great seller.  Have bought a few transactions from him before.

Always was very smooth transaction. Highly recommend.

I am really curious about this little guy..

well wouldn't be too bad of an idea hooking up a switch and maybe one or two of these guys.

will it be possible to ship these to the Netherlands?

I'll ship to the moon if you pay the shipping fees.

I am interested, but would like clarification on the US adaptor. It doesn't appear to be required to run the R1. Does or Will this impact the price?

Adapter is included, although I purchased them from a different source.  I do not agree that it will not be required.

Shipping will be paid by the buyer, or label provided to me. I am thinking the R1 and adapter will probably fit in a padded priority envelope @$5.25 shipping for US sales.

may get one. have to read the specs again.

Second this--CG is a top-shelf seller.  I've bought loads from him over the last couple years and never one issue.

yes, but this lottery ticket consuming electricity and will be useless as router/ap in few years..

Have you received a notification that your bulk order has been shipped yet?

Since people are posting about CrazyGuy, way back I bought a few Block Erupter Cubes from him and everything went smoothly, one had a board die a few months after and he replaced it for free.

Good question as I owe you shipping once you know box size :).

Not yet, hope to see them ship out in the next few days. I ordered early on the first day, so we should be at the front of the queue.

Sounds great on that!  That is why i trusted you with my order.    Fronting the bill on first day truly put's your group buy apart from what others do.

Thanks for doing this GB! 

*Edit hopefully soon!  The thread had first person claim to have conformation of it shipping.

Yes, ours shipped around 2 am this morning. I'll update when they arrive.

Sounds great!  Thanks for the update.  Hopefully they get there fast considering what BM charged on shipping.

Thanks again for update!

Any update?   One in R1 forum said they got theirs today. 

I hope groups are soon :).  They should be with first day order.

Yes, I got a call from FedEx today asking what an R1 was so they could relay to customs... I told them it's a WiFi router and they said I should expect delivery tomorrow. Fingers crossed for no further delay and I'll let you guys know when they arrive.

On another note, I haven't received my batch of adapters yet. If I don't receive them by the time the R1s come in, I'll ship them at a later date for free.
 

Thanks for the update!

R1s have arrived!

The boxes are much smaller than I had imagined, so shipping costs should be low. I won't have time to play around with one of the units until this weekend, but I did plug one in without an adapter and it fits snug in my US standard wall outlet.

Since I haven't received the US adapters, I am providing two options for existing orders

1) Ship the R1 free of charge, buyer has the option to buy their own adapter if needed(I don't think they are necessary)
2) Pay R1 shipping costs and receive a free adapter when they arrive.

Future orders will not include the adapter unless specifically requested.

This is great news!  Thanks for doing the group buy.

Cant wait to see this thing in person.  It will be one fun device to play around with.  I'm really interested to see how they do with controlling U3's.

Ok, I decided to play around with one tonight. Tricking the R1 into solo mining on another pool didn't take too long. I also have a U3 plugged in and running at full speed so we'll see how long it stays up...

You'll note that the self contained chip runs under a different instance of cgminer than the U3s, both kicked off by scripts in the /etc/init.d directory. /etc/init.d/cgminer and /etc/init.d/cgminer-u3 respectively.

You can edit the cgminer script, setting the pool user, 3 pools, and comment out the user prefix added to pooluser1 to unleash your R1. Make sure to make a backup and don't blame me if you brick your device!

Neat!  Thanks for looking into this for us--I was hesitant to purchase a device that was black-boxed, I'm glad to see it's not.

Great news! 

Bad News:
U3 zombied out after a couple days on the R1. Although it started back up with a cgminer restart and no need to unplug usb. May be an easy scripting solution...

Good News:
I've added a configuration page for the R1 pools, so changing pools should be a bit easier than manually editing the startup script. I'll work on the R1 stats page tonight.

Few days is not bad.  I love the configuration page you added!  I can't wait to play with mine.

Thanks for doing this group!

*Edit I don't see that in thread on R1 unless I'm missing it.  How did you add that screen?

I had to edit the Luci interface. I'll provide an updated firmware for my customers this week.

Just received mine, thanks again CrazyGuy. Can't wait to play with it tonight, good to see you already made progress on pool switching!

That sounds great! I should get mine tomorrow and should be able to play with it. 

Thanks for looking into mods. That looks sweet on the configuration page.

Custom Firmware available!

I've delivered my first custom firmware release to existing customers, which can be loaded on new orders upon request. However, please note that loading custom firmware will void all warranties.


Custom firmware includes:
 - Configuration for up to 4 pools with full Bitmain solo mining support.
 - R1 Frequency and Voltage modulation (Use at your own risk)
 - Detailed R1 stats page, including pool statistics

Looks like I have more day of dreaming of the R1 and your mod.    USPS decided to take a extra day (no fault of crazyguy) looks like they decided not scan it in this morning hopefully tomorrow.... i don't think my mailman took that rain sleet or snow oath :).

But this custom firmware looks amazing.  Truly great to see all the add-ons.   It added all the big things I was hoping for and more.   To be able to set different pool was my main thing, easy to change speed sounds even more amazing.

I'll be in for 1, check pm's on how to get USPS label to you.

Will your firmware be available for download to use at our own risk, or only by having you flash before shipping, and any updates to us later? Does that make sense?

Can anyone make these mine through a wifi connection only not needing the RJ45 connection.

Hello mate, great job there! Is it possible to purchase the firmware from you with some instructions how to load it on my R1?

Thank you and keep up the good work! :)
