Title: ASIC System Requirements Post by: Shintax on January 10, 2013, 12:27:13 AM Ive tried looking around the BFL website but cant seem to find the system requirements for the Singles. Anybody know?
Title: Re: ASIC System Requirements Post by: Pardo on January 10, 2013, 12:37:06 AM System requirements :D? Just a windows/mac/linux system with a free usb host-capable usb slot, it does not require processing power at all, but it has to run to be running 24/7 or at least the time you want to be mining, with a stable internet connection. A netbook or an old notebook/machine is more than enough.
BFL is even developing an android app to mine with, beign able to use with any rooted android device (phone or tablet) that is in beta stages and will be released for free in Google Play market in the next days/week(s). Funny BFL video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKbufXRatbs) Title: Re: ASIC System Requirements Post by: Shintax on January 10, 2013, 12:52:30 AM Wait a sec... You mean I can hook up a Single to my gfs Toshiba Thrive via USB and just download the app to mine? That sounds too good to be true

Title: Re: ASIC System Requirements Post by: Pardo on January 10, 2013, 01:43:32 AM In fact BFL has confirmed they will be shipping Bitforce mini rig SC which is their superior product ($30K) with a free ASUS Nexus 7 android tablet placed on the front of the chassis, this way it will be a standalone mining unit as a whole, mining through WiFi or 3G. Imagine you go on vacation, you could take your 1500W unit with you and mine with it wherever you like heheh ;D
