Title: IN STOCK - OneStringMiner boards, up to 39GH/s last ITEMS: from US$15...FUN!!! Post by: BenTuras on March 02, 2014, 05:04:15 AM OneStringMiner board:
The OneStringMiner boards are designed by Intron and C-scape, two well-known Bitcoin mining board designers. The OSM is based on Bitfury chips and each board contains 15 chips, hashing 25+ GH/s without heat sink and 30+ GH/s with heat sink. Each board runs from a single 12V supply, using ~25W. Given the current difficulty and the low price for the boards, purchase them to have FUN setting up a small miner! You will not get a ROI on your investment, unless paid in fiat and BTC exchange rate raises significantly. I estimate a single board will produce around 0.05 BTC during the first 6 months. The models: The DIY comes in four flavours: bare board(DIY), set without heat sink(DIY0), and with one(DIY1) or two boards per heat sink(DIY2). The OSM DIY0,1,2 sets come with all additional items to make a nice setup (hex spacers, rings, nuts, USB cable and board interconnection cables). All you need to add is a power supply and a host computer running cgminer(bfgminer is not supported). The hashrate will be at least 25GH/s for the DIY0, 30GH/s for the DIY1, 60GH/s for the DIY2. Overclocking is possible, ONLY WHEN USING A HEAT SINK, by increase the voltage. This voids the warranty. Last boards: This is the deal: PM me an offer(including shipment) in BTC for any number of DIY/DIY0/DIY1 and/or DIY2 and your complete address and I will get back to you whether or not your offer is acceptable. Shipment will be by FedEx on the next working day. The latest prices can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.msg9715128#msg9715128 How to make a bid: fill in and email the list below to sales@btcguru.eu. You'll receive a reply within 24 hours. Name: Address: Zipcode: City: Country: Phone number: To apply for 0% VAT, specify your VAT number: Your order reference: #DIY: #DIY0: #DIY1: #DIY2: Your bid in BTC(including shipment): Mandatory items are underlined. 39GH/s Can be reached by using heat sinks and overvolting, as has been done by one of the designers here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.msg5515427#msg5515427 What's in the box: DIY set: 1 OneStringMiner board DIY0 set: 1 OneStringMiner board 1 USB cable 1 power interconnect cable 1 serial interconnect cable 8 hex spacers(4 for each additional board) 4 rings and nuts(for each up to 3 boards) 1 10cm fan(for each up to 3 boards) 4 fan mounting strips(for each up to 3 boards) DIY1 set: same as DIY0, plus: 1 small heat sink with mounting holes. 4 M3 screws to mount the board to the heat sink DIY2 set: 2 DIY0 sets, plus: 1 big heat sink with mounting holes. 8 M3 screws to mount the boards to the heat sink Everything is in stock, including single and double heat sinks: So YES, we are selling and shipping. Mostly DIY0 sets, which come without a heat sink. We sell these sets for 25GH/s, but most are faster, some even over 30GH/s. Currently the boards are connected via USB. The serial interconnection is available, but performance is about 10% lower than direct USB connection. Up to 16 boards can run from one USB connection when utilising the serial connection. Taxes: The buyer is responsible for all taxes that might need to be paid besides the purchase price. All shipments will be insured for the purchase price and a signature is required when receiving the package. Some technical details: The initial design of the board was first shown on bitcointalk here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370932.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370932.0) The boards are fixed to the heat sink with 4 M3 screws, which will be supplied by us. The heat sinks have 4 M4 screw holes to easily fix the heat sinks to a base plate. If you want, you can get the screws for these 4 M4 holes for free. Just ask when ordering. The large heat sinks also have 2 M4 screw holes on top, to stiffen a set of multiple heat sinks. And if you want screws for these 2 holes too, just ask. The size of an OneString board is 140mm x 100mm. Two PCIe connectors, 2 screw terminals and 1 barrel jack connector are supplied on each board for power. Advise is to make sets of 5 DIY1 boards or 5 DIY2 sets, power the middle board(s) with PCIe and use the screw terminals to connect the two boards on the left and the right with the centre board as can be seen on the picture with three single boards. Setup this way no more than ~6A flows through the boards interconnections and no more than ~150W through the PCIe connector. DIY0 towers can also be made by using 3cm pieces of aquarium air hose and an M3 rod of 20cm. You'll only use the supplied hex spacers on the bottom and the top of the tower. Pictures can be found in this thread.

And they have the advantage of having designed their own chip, I can't beat that. Buyers can choose, the OneStringMiners are an extra choice.

Thanks for your interest. bring the prices down to a competitive level and I will buy 2TH worth or more I'll have another look at my calculation. Update: I see these prices on MegaBigPower: US$375/US$400 for the 25GH/s board. OSM DIY1 is US$395. I would say the prices are very comparable and the DIY2 is US$731, already lower than MegaBigPower. And when ordering multiple DIY's, the discount kicks in. Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: Taugeran on March 02, 2014, 03:51:27 PM Ben.

2x Ant = 400GH = 1500$ = 1700$ with brand 1kW PSU or 1550$ with DPS-800 200$ per single 30GH board, 1500 for 10; -that- would be almost OK... Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 02, 2014, 05:02:24 PM dude, did you accidentaly go through a stargate during a sun eruption? I am on bitcointalk since summer of 2011 and anytime a new product was announced the price was too high.2x Ant = 400GH = 1500$ = 1700$ with brand 1kW PSU or 1550$ with DPS-800 200$ per single 30GH board, 1500 for 10; -that- would be almost OK... The OneStringMiner is another choice for the buyer. No one is forcing you to buy. Unless you are able to bake your own ASIC chips, you'll have to buy them and that causes higher end user prices. Did you look at the Bitfury chip price on MegaBigPower? Do you now realize that your prices are impossible when buying chips ?

Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 03, 2014, 08:52:08 AM OneStringMiner_DIY1 setup with 2 boards, Raspberry Pi, D-link 7-port hub, PSU and fan.
This is all you need to hash 60GH/s. This setup can be upscaled to ~20 DIY1's. More is possible, but the startup of cgminer takes longer and longer. The hub is supplying power to the Raspberry(white USB cable). DO NOT USE THE POWERED USB PORTS ON THE HUB, one fried Raspberry is enough :(. You don't need a HDMI monitor or keyboard. Just download Minepeon (http://minepeon.com/index.php/Main_Page), which has a web interface to configure and monitor your miner. And you can ssh into the Raspberry. http://btcguru.eu/img/OneStringMiner_DIY1.jpg Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 03, 2014, 09:02:04 AM And two DIY2's in similar setup next to the DIY1 (and using the same PSU).

I already got a similar question, the best option I can offer is you send the chips to us and we'll send you complete boards. Obviously you'll get a lower price, you can deduct us$75 per board for each 15 chips you send to us.Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: sidehack on March 06, 2014, 12:02:17 AM So you don't trust people to stick on their own?
Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 06, 2014, 04:52:48 AM So you don't trust people to stick on their own? Of course I do, it's just quicker this way.Complete boards in stock, empty boards have to be produced and then all components needs to be added without the Bitfury chips. And then the buyer needs to add the Bitfury chips. More fun, I agree, but takes a lot longer. Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: sidehack on March 06, 2014, 05:20:24 AM Ah, so you've already caused to be populated all the boards you had.
Wait, so if someone sent in their chips, you'd send them an off-the-shelf board already made with off-the-shelf chips? Or cause one to be made and populated with their chips? Because if that's the case then it would not take longer to make a board with their chips than it would take to make a board with no chips at all. Also sorry if I'm frustrating you. This design is flippin' cool and I really like it, just kinda want to understand what's possible. Someone asked me the other day what he might do with a couple dozen BF chips that had not yet been put to use and I was most interested in this design. If I can do what I want with a DPS-800GBA power supply board, it'd work with this miner to make overclocking as easy as turning a knob. Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 06, 2014, 06:46:12 AM Ah, so you've already caused to be populated all the boards you had. Yes, all boards we have are populated.

Because if that's the case then it would not take longer to make a board with their chips than it would take to make a board with no chips at all. Also sorry if I'm frustrating you. This design is flippin' cool and I really like it, just kinda want to understand what's possible. Someone asked me the other day what he might do with a couple dozen BF chips that had not yet been put to use and I was most interested in this design. If I can do what I want with a DPS-800GBA power supply board, it'd work with this miner to make overclocking as easy as turning a knob. It's a courtesy service that we offer, which we can do for a few customers, but not many. Or else we'll end up with thousands of chips that first need to be put in a usable container before we can ask our supplier to make more boards for us. I have been looking into server power supplies too. This is definitely one of the ways to push the OneStringMiner board to higher performance at the cost of more energy being used(and void your warranty). Another way is a laboratory power supply, but those are expensive and most of them are only a few Amps. I hope to be able to answer a previously asked question about voltage versus performance. Intron already gave a good indication (~39GH/s) of the capacity of the OSM boards in his message. Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 06, 2014, 07:15:51 AM Very stable running of the 2xDIY1 and 2xDIY2.
The usual variance can been seen. http://btcguru.eu/img/72HourPerformanceDiy1Diy2.jpg Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 06, 2014, 09:19:38 AM Here is my amateur overvolting attempt of the OneStringMiner with a laboratory power supply that can't do more than 2.0A :(
Code: Volt Amps hwerrors hash rate temp fanspeed It's clear that I need a more powerful adjustable power supply. I will get one and do the test again, trying to be a bit more precise with my testing methodology. And it's amazing that most of the chips(only chip 14 was reporting hwerrors) can hash ~19GH/s at 10V, 1.0A, that's 1.9GH/s per Watt if I am not mistaken ! I will let it run for a while and see if the hashrate stabilizes at ~10V, 1.0A. Update: It doesn't stabilise at 10V, the hashrate keeps on going up and down 15-19GH/s. Amps go pretty low now and then, I have seen as low as 0.8A. I think it's clear that not all chips are hashing anymore at this voltage. Back to 12V... Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners Post by: BenTuras on March 07, 2014, 02:08:05 PM Looking at the result of the DIY1 and DIY2 auction it's clear that our prices are higher than buyers are willing to pay.
We can not go as low as the auction prices, that's even below our cost price. Another issue is that the delivery of the 2nd batch of heat sinks is delayed, probably two and a halve week. They were supposed to be delivered next week. We still have heat sinks from the 1st batch, but stock is getting low. I will post a message when we have run out of stock. The boards can run without a heat sink, but absolutely no overvolting and you must run the boards with the included fan(Scythe Slip Stream, 120mm, 1900rpm) pointing at the board(s). The boards will run slower without heat sink, between 25-27GH/s and they will get warmer. I'll make pictures of a setup without heat sinks and post them later. I'll also post a drawing, in case you want to create your own heat sinks. So, we are introducing the new DIY0 set, which includes everything from the DIY1, except the heat sink. Heat sinks will be available to order separately, when batch 2 comes in. The DIY1 heat sink is around $15, the DIY2 around $25.(Both will have the M3 and M4 screw holes, they are tailor made for the OSM boards). Add ~$40 shipment :( So there is a price disadvantage, because you'll pay shipping twice. I did lower the price of the board a bit in my calculation, because of the lower hash rate without a heat sink. These are the new prices:
Because of these lower prices, we will refund the price difference to previous orders, even the ones that already shipped. All prices include FedEx shipment. The discounts when buying more than one still apply: 3-5 3% discount 6-10 5% discount 11-25 7.5% discount 26-100 10% discount Payment in BTC is possible, just take the BitStamp exchange rate to estimate your BTC price.

All DIY sets now contains tire wraps to fix the fan to the miner setup. The DIY2 now contains two 10cm fans instead of one 18cm fan. The small fans performs much better. Temperatures below 45 degrees Celsius and 31,5GH/s per board(with heat sink). We're making progress on the serial interconnect setup, but we're not there yet. Still, every order shipped contains the serial interconnect cable. Once we have finished the firmware with the serial interconnect, a manual will be available how to reprogram the boards. Below a picture of a DIY0 tower setup with a Seasonic S12II-Bronze 520W feeding 16 boards. On top of the tower you can see the Raspberry Pi, running minepeon. Not visible is a D-link HUB7, feeding the raspberry and a 13 port cheap hub to connect USB to the individual boards. (3 boards are connected to the D-link). Cgminer shows 414GH/s, an average of 25,9GH/s (obviously without heat sink) and temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius. And last but not least, our first buyer in Asia has just received his package :) http://www.btcguru.eu/img/16xDIY0.jpg If the red led is on, a share was found.... Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners - NEW LOWER PRICES Post by: KyrosKrane on March 10, 2014, 08:50:47 AM Random note - based on your pricing model, it's better to buy 7 x DIY2 for $3511 after discount, rather 1 x Elite ($3551) (though you do get more goodies with the Elite).
Based on your demo, can we reasonably assume each board takes under 32W (without overclocking)? Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners - NEW LOWER PRICES Post by: BenTuras on March 10, 2014, 08:56:13 AM Random note - based on your pricing model, it's better to buy 7 x DIY2 for $3511 after discount, rather 1 x Elite ($3551). The Elite comes in a nice black or white case (Coolermaster Elite) and is plug and play.Based on your demo, can we reasonably assume each board takes under 32W (without overclocking)? The DIY2 is as the name says, is do it yourself, so you need to add Raspberry, power supply, ... (I do understand what you are saying, so I will have another look at the price of the Elite) Your assumption is correct, 32W or below. Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners - NEW LOWER PRICES Post by: KyrosKrane on March 10, 2014, 08:57:43 AM Yup, I edited my post a few seconds after posting to note that the Elite includes more goodies. Looks like you beat me though! :)
Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners - NEW LOWER PRICES Post by: KyrosKrane on March 10, 2014, 09:09:28 AM You got me thinking here. It would seem your primary advantage over an Antminer is power consumption (6 boards x 32W each = 192W, compared to an Antimer's 350W+ for the same GH/s). The trade-off is a much higher up-front price (1.085 BTC for an Antminer as of this writing, versus about 2.4 BTC for the same hashrate worth of DIY's, depending on the current BTC exchange rate).
How would an Elite compare in noise factor versus two Antminers? I have one at home, and the noise level is pretty high. I don't think I could add a second one without getting kicked out of the house, Antminers and all! If the Elite is substantially quieter, that might be a selling point for you - though honestly, I don't know if it makes up for the up-front price premium.

What software preparation do I need to do, to be ready for mining? You need a Raspberry running Minepeon or standard Raspberry running cgminer,or a PC running Ubuntu/Windows and cgminer, or a Mac running Mac OSX and cgminer. Windows will need the Zadig driver. A trustworthy location to download it from is: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/zadig/ The OneStringMiner board does not run full capacity with bfgminer, I still have to figure out why, but lack of time .... You will not need the power cable or the serial interconnect cable with only one board. They are included just in case you'll want to run more boards in the future :) And maybe one day even grow to this: http://www.btcguru.eu/img/16xDIY0small.jpg Enjoy setting it up !

We lowered the prices(~12%) due to the coming difficulty change, a modest one :) All orders of yesterday also got these lower prices. We didn't think of the lower shipping cost when shipping more than one, and also less additional items are needed, so we added the price for 2 and 3 DIY0 sets to our pricelist, and calculated the advantage for you when ordering more than one at the same time. A similar advantage applies to the DIY1 and DIY2 sets. But given the limited available for now, we kept those prices off the list. All prices include shipping worldwide. Note: Only 14 DIY1 and 15 DIY2 heat sinks left. We expect the next batch of heat sinks in two weeks.

Increase the voltage to 12V and see if it improves.It's very strange that peon shows a lower GH/s than the pool, most of the time it's the other way around. And difference like this is extreme and likely something is wrong on the software side. Which version of minepeon are you using ? (I am using 0.2.4.4) Did you overclock the Raspberry ? (I didn't). Are you using bfgminer ?

Title: Re: Introducing OneString miners - March 12 price reduction: ~12% Post by: BenTuras on March 13, 2014, 10:25:41 AM After being asked whether or not the OneStringMiner boards run on p2pool, I have set up a 13 board tower and connected it to p2pool:
http://www.btcguru.eu/img/OSM_p2pool.jpg These are boards without a heat sink, so they do much better than the advertised 25+ GH/s. But, we don't want to promise too much, so we keep on selling them as 25+ GH/s and you will probably get a faster board. At first I was wondering about the high rejects, but this is normal for p2pool. As far as I understand it, there is a short time span in which the pool requests to restart work and the miners haven't restarted yet. If a share is found in that short time span, it is send to the pool and obviously the pool rejects it.

Received mine, and I gotta say that these are awesome. Can you explain to me again the black magic used to get gen3 performance out of a gen2 chip which has been out for many months? Why hasn't everyone been running Bitfury chips on crazy-mega-power saving mode all along? Heck, even the board is simpler than most designs -- and thus, presumably, with fewer ways to fail.

Each DIY0 is tested and hash at least 25GH/s. Some hash over 30GH/s. If you want to go higher, you'll need a heat sink(we are still waiting for our 2nd batch of heat sinks; only have a few left). Overvolting voids warranty and needs a heat sink for sure.
Prices are a piece when you buy the number of sets in the left column. The price differences are caused by lower shipment cost per board, less additional items(for example 1 fan per 3 boards) and an applied discount when you buy more than 3. Don't forget that the sets include everything you need to start mining, excluding a power supply and a Raspberry Pi. And remember, shipping is FREE(FedEx), as is real and friendly customer support. Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - OneStringMiner boards Post by: wttbs on March 18, 2014, 09:58:22 PM Got my One String Miners today ! and... I loved them ! They are great.
I have 4 DIY1 and 4 DIY2 kits. This evening I build up the 4 DIY2 kits and build a small tower. Quality of the boards and other materials is high. Building was very easy. Screw the pcb to the heatsink, connect the wires to the powerconnectors, that’s about it. I used a BeQuiet PurePower 600W PSU I had laying around. Attached two fans, all in a temporary setup. 10 Port USB Hub is a Rosewill RHB-500. I used an ArchLinux PC, downloaded and compiled CGminer 3.12.3, turned on the miners, started CGMiner and it detected all miners. 3 miners were “ZOMBIE” at first but after just 10 seconds all boards were recognized and hashing. All works great with any issues. Temperatuur is stable with only 2 fans (in the most efficient position), 30 to 40 degrees Celcius. I haven’t tuned them yet so they hash around 25GH/s per board.

Yea I'm still trying to work out the fundamental differences between cgminer BXF driver and bfgminer BIF driver. I'll be quite honest bfgminers BiFury driver needs a lot of work. Just from looking it seems that on every poll it tells the device to flush, set target, and set maxroll. No idea how much workload that is on the PIC but I'm sure several times a second can't be light. TO the drawing board... tonite after work and a few angry orchards Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - OneStringMiner boards Post by: cscape on March 19, 2014, 06:46:55 AM Sending unnecessary flush commands is bad for performance, since it wipes the entire work queue inside the device. For typical bitcoin mining, the device works fine without flush, as it will automatically flush when a new block is detected. Also, it is unnecessary to send target or maxroll repeatedly. They only need to be send again when they're changed.
Also, a low maxroll value is also bad for performance. For instance, with maxroll = 0, a single OSM board needs about 11-12 work items per second to keep busy. And if the boards are chained through the serial link, they could require nearly 200 work items per second. That's a lot. Setting maxroll to 60, only requires 1/60th of the workload, so about 1 work item every 5 seconds for a board. In addition, it is good to send the pool difficulty to the board using 'target' command, to avoid unnecessary traffic going the other way.

A question that comes to mind does the clock command accept 1 value per chip so clock command for an OSM would be CLOCK followed by 15 space separated values?

Correct. But if you send less values, the last clock value will be replicated for all remaining chips.

Those two wires are only needed when you have more than one board.The black/red wire is for power, and utilizes the green screw terminals on the board. The other wire is for serial communication, for which we're fine tuning the firmware at the moment. And the last question is that in the board i see a three pin connector for the fan and in the opposite side a four pin connector that i dont know for what is this. Thank you for any advice The four pin connector is for the serial communication. Once you have multiple boards and the firmware is finished you will use that connector. For now we're supplying USB cables for every board purchased.

Paying on Tuesday, and having my OSM units in hand and hashing on Friday, all the way from across the ocean. You know what else I love? Lots of parts included! Cords, screws, spacers, fans all included, so I don't have to hunt all over for some little thing. And they're tiny, and as silent as you want them to be. And, oh yeah, all in the neighborhood of ~1W/GH/s. I will run these forever. Thanks again! +1 Ben has it dialed in. This is good for the community.

2 questions for you Ben. Any update on the Version command error I pointed out. And one open to the floor but directed at Ben and cscape: is it ok to run these long term at 70-75C? Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - OneStringMiner boards; lower prices as of March 21st Post by: cscape on March 22, 2014, 09:05:27 PM And one open to the floor but directed at Ben and cscape: is it ok to run these long term at 70-75C? The higher the temperature, the quicker the chips will wear out, but I don't have hard figures about the expected lifetime at different temperatures. (I don't know that anybody has ever done a thorough characterization) However, considering that the reward of mining goes down as the difficulty rises, I would expect the optimal to be closer to 70-75 than to 50-55. But that's just a WAG. Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - OneStringMiner boards Post by: Luke-Jr on March 23, 2014, 04:44:21 AM it is plainly clear that the firmware shipped on the OSM boards is hard coded with a response the version command. if this is so and you have access to the source it would need modified to 15. if not could you request cscape recompile a fw specifically for the OSM boards with this modification. BFGMiner uses the chip count only to determine how many chips will be returning submits, not to determine how much work is needed.Following this post, i will be trying to hack together a modification to bfgminer's Bifury driver to see if this fixes the poor performance. the issue lies in the way bfgminer uses the FW response to VERSION to allocate and setup the queue. since it replies only 2 chip in the response the other 12 are left hungry as f*** and any values they find arent being logged since as far as BFG knows they dont exist Although earlier Bi*fury firmwares were buggy, for which BFGMiner's driver has code to workaround until it receives the first needwork message, but I don't see how that could affect this. I'll be quite honest bfgminers BiFury driver needs a lot of work. Just from looking it seems that on every poll it tells the device to flush, set target, and set maxroll. No idea how much workload that is on the PIC but I'm sure several times a second can't be light. No, it only sends these once on initialisation (device open)...Flushing occurs when there is a work update too. Also, a low maxroll value is also bad for performance. For instance, with maxroll = 0, a single OSM board needs about 11-12 work items per second to keep busy. And if the boards are chained through the serial link, they could require nearly 200 work items per second. That's a lot. Setting maxroll to 60, only requires 1/60th of the workload, so about 1 work item every 5 seconds for a board. There is definitely room to improve this, but it wasn't necessary for bi*fury and incompatible with getwork pools.In addition, it is good to send the pool difficulty to the board using 'target' command, to avoid unnecessary traffic going the other way. BFGMiner uses diff 1 nonces to provide more reliable statistics.Perhaps this can be made configurable if there's a need. As for why it's performing worse, I'd be happy to look into it. Are you planning to send a sample unit to developers?

It only supplies 11.5V on the PCI-E connectors. It's realy weird but I measured it with a Fluke Voltmeter 11.5V is the max. Then I took a SeaSonice S12G and this PSU works just fine at 12 V. I think you should best use am adjustable PSU. For example one like Intron suggested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30-Amp-12-Volt-DC-13-8V-Regulated-Power-Supply-for-Ham-Radio-CB-US-SELLER-/360874766820 On these type of PSU you canadjsut the output voltage, sometimes even up to 13.5V or higher. I use this one http://dx.com/p/12v-10a-iron-case-power-supply-silver-ac-110-220v-124302 on 4 boards @ 13.1V and it works just fine. They hash at 33 to 35GHs with thermalpasta+heatsink+fan(s). Take notice that if you overclock/volt them warranty voids.

Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - OneStringMiner boards; lower prices as of March 21st Post by: BenTuras on March 26, 2014, 06:32:58 AM Some thoughts about supplying sample units to developers:
There are two major mining programs, Bfgminer and Cgminer. Cgminer has two main developers, so that means 3 units. In order for a developer to be able to test/check all possible events, the sample unit should have multiple boards, at least 2 but more is better. And it would be best if it would be boards with heat sinks, so overvolting can also be taken into account. We're also still busy programming the serial communication between multiple boards. End of next week, when the 2nd batch of heat sinks will be in, we'll make a decision about supplying sample units to developers.

Thank you Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - 25+ GH/s USB connection $210 / €183 includes shipping Post by: BenTuras on March 27, 2014, 10:49:37 AM We are getting close with the serial communication software.
Let's call the current version a Beta version of the final firmware. We have a few 10 & 12 board test setups running and after 24 hours without a hickup I can report hash rates of up to 30GH/s average per board, and this is without heatsinks. (We also have a few test setups with an USB cable to each board, on average they do ~27GH/s) End of next week heat sinks should arrive, and then we'll make a few test setups with higher voltages. This firmware update is of little use for single board users. Once you get to three or more boards it's becoming interesting. The serial firmware has been programmed to handle up to 16 boards (target: 500GH/s @ 500W) on a single USB connection, so a lot less cable clutter. As a side effect it will put a lot less load on the host computer running cgminer. Using the cable connections, about 20 boards was the maximum a Raspberry with Minepeon could handle before it became noticeable (percentage of shares not accepted on the pool was rising). We will setup a few 16 board towers and connect them all to one Raspberry this weekend, let's see when it is getting slower ;) We will do the same connected to a powerful Linux PC, it will be interesting to see if there is a difference in performance. Note: We are doing all our testing with cgminer 3.12.3.

Used a Sunon Fan for some cooling, this fan is rather noisy but don't have another one that fits right now. The boards a getting a bit hotter than outside a case. With 13.1V they went over 48 degrees Celcius, tuned back the Voltage to 12.5V, temp is stable at 46 degrees C and the hash at 32 to 35 GH/s, I think this is a nice temp-performance-ratio. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7225/13455012204_d556b719b7_z.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2863/13455190824_5cd3e5d40e_b.jpg you neednt worry about temp as much as you do. the designers have commented that these run just fine well up into the 70-80C range Title: Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - 25+ GH/s USB connection $210 / €183 includes shipping Post by: Bicknellski on March 31, 2014, 07:41:49 AM Still any more in stock?

You gotta just loooove these boards ;D How many watts is 12 boards taking up? That would be 300 GH correct? And we test every single board before shipping, if it doesn't deliver at least 25GH/s it's put aside. So for 12 boards, in total it could be 320GH/s and 325W, but I am sure you'll not mind ;) And then you need to take the fans that come with the boards into account too, they use 0,53A @ 12V. If you purchase 12 boards, you will receive 4 fans. If you are planning to buy a power supply, try to get it at 75% of maximum capacity, but do check the specs. A lot of manufacturers tell you what the sweetspot is of a power supply. And get a single rail 12V, multi rail can be a hassle.

I do have a question. How many boards would need to be setup before you would need to hook up more than one PCIe power cable to them? Also to you suggest two power cables in one board or one on every other one or some sort of scheme?

If you have two power cables, and one board, plug them both into the board. If you have multiple boards, stick each power cable in a different board. The more power cables you have in parallel, the better. However, do not use two different PSUs together in a single board.

It's best to use the PCIe in one board and use the supplied power cable to connect the two boards using the green screw terminals.

You can do this:Should I wire the power supply wires to some sort of adapter and plug into the PCIe connection or would it be better to figure out a way to wire this to the barrel jack connection? 1. jump start the power supply, by shorting the green wire and the black wire next to it (position 4 and 5 of the connector) with a paperclip, like this: http://btcguru.eu/img/jumpStartPSU.png 2. check the voltage on a black and yellow wire with a multimeter, if it's at least 11.8V, the power supply is usable (I picked an old PSU and it showed 11.3V. This means slow hashing, so better get another PSU) http://btcguru.eu/img/voltage.png 3. Disconnect the mains from the PSU 4. If you're ok with cutting the wires of the PSU, cut black and yellow wires of connectors. Start with a connector that only has black and yellow, then move to connectors with red, black and yellow. Only use the yellow and black wires. Do not use any of the big connector. 5. Strip all yellow wires, bundle the stripped part together and connect to the 12V on the green screw terminal of the middle board of your stack. 6. Do the same for all black wires, and connect to the GND of the green screw terminal of the middle board of your stack. 7. Use the supplied power cables to connect board 1 to board 2 using the screw terminals (red on 12V, black on GND) and connect board 2 and 3 in the same way. 8. Connect the USB cables, start cgminer and then connect the mains again. 9. The boards should start hashing Title: Re: IN STOCK - OneStringMiner boards, up to 39GH/s, PRICE REDUCED: US$139/€121/€100 Post by: BenTuras on May 01, 2014, 06:46:26 AM Has there been any progress on the new Firmware so they can work with BFGMiner? Luke has said that is all that is left to be done. I know Ben you have been working hard on that and the serial interface tweaks so it will run well from a single USB cable. After lengthy testing we now know that not all boards will run OK over the serial connection. There is a hardware issue that is causing communication errors on some boards when the serial connection is used. This is not an issue when the boards are used over USB. And if a stack runs OK with the serial connection, the total hashrate will most likely not be higher than an USB connected stack. I did manage to get up to 500GH/s for a 16 board tower, but only after replacing suboptimal boards. That same stack went up to 507GH/s when connected over USB, but that might have been a matter of luck. I am currently testing a stack that consists of boards that have been modified by hand. Regarding Bfgminer, Luke is waiting on me for a version of the firmware that includes the number of chips in the answer that the board gives on the version question send by Bfgminer. I am not sure why, but it seems that the boards are not answering, or I am doing something wrong. I am still investigating.

That is a bummer on the serial connection for the boards. Do you think I should try it out on my boards and give you the results? I can do that if that would help? I have 5 boards to string together.

Regarding Bfgminer, Luke is waiting on me for a version of the firmware that includes the number of chips in the answer that the board gives on the version question send by Bfgminer. I am not sure why, but it seems that the boards are not answering, or I am doing something wrong. I am still investigating.

Thanks for the offer. You'll need to get cgminer from the github and compile it. Then download the serial firmware, apply it to all boards, make a serial loop cable, get 5 jumpers to short the SERIAL pins on each board and start cgminer. Let me know which step needs additional info.Hopefully you can figure out BFG support I will keep being patient. :) Thanks.Title: Re: IN STOCK - OneStringMiner boards, up to 39GH/s, PRICE REDUCED: US$139/€121/€100 Post by: -ck on May 04, 2014, 07:31:29 AM I just posted a new version of cgminer, 4.3.3, which has a fix for a huge memory leak which has always been there with the driver for this particular hardware, along with support for the experimental firmware which discretely recognises these devices as OSM. All users mining with this hardware on cgminer are urged to upgrade.

Hi BFL87,Did you have some stock? ;D I live in italy, if is it possible, can you expain prices with VAT of diy1 and 2? The price for a single board, without heat sink, usb cable and all other items is indeed €97, excluding shipment. I have stock available of all items. Have a look at the pictures in the first message in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.msg5457850#msg5457850 Picture one shows a bare board, this is what you get for €97. Picture two shows a DIY1 kit, this is what you get for €148. DIY2 is twice the contents of DIY1, but not 2 small heatsinks, but one big heat sink. If you want to order or know the shipment cost, send an email to sales@btcguru.eu with your address and I will reply with shipment price.

LukeJr, the developer of Bfgminer has make some effort to get Bfgminer working correctly with our boards, but it requires a firmware change on our side and I have been too busy to answer him. Also the demand for Bfgminer in combination with our boards is low, so it got on a low priority. I will download the latest version of Bfgminer and check the current status today and inform you.

There are a couple of commands you can add as well that help out while waiting for the firmware to be developed. The commands are on GitHub under the notes section.

In latest git ONESTRINGMINER -------------- OneStringMiner boards use the bifury driver.

I actually did not do my serial connection testing because because BFG has been working great with the OneString using these arguments.
Also Ben I have to disagree with you that BFGMiner has a small user base. I have found it is nearly half. Many of the new devices that come out are also using old forked versions of cgminer not the newest versions as well giving a misconception about usage.

I use Linux and this is the command I use: mcopy -o -i /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC1XXX_IFLASH_ISP-0:0 firmware.bin ::;umount /dev/disk/by-id/usb-NXP_LPC1XXX_IFLASH_ISP-0:0 I dont know if its differences in FW since they may be from different batches by looking at the serial numbers. i thank ye good sir. alas they must run on cgminer for one more evening and hopefully this fixes them( nothing against cgminer, i just prefer the device management style of bfgminer) Title: Re: IN STOCK - OneStringMiner boards, up to 39GH/s, FIRE SALE: MAKE A BID Post by: achtung082 on July 25, 2014, 11:39:55 AM Taugeran
I know you said you don't want to use cgminer but just an fyi on something I found with my stack of OSM and it would be interesting to see if you have seen the same, these perform differently depending on the cgminer version (same PI, USB hub, cables, PSU). Example: Debian with cgminer 4.3.4 sees the boards as MXF 10x DIY1 run at +-275, but Peon with cgminer 4.0.4 sees these as BXF 10x DIY1 run at +-310, power usage is 267 at the wall. I have been very happy with my setup and Ben has some first class service.

Post by: BenTuras on December 04, 2014, 07:26:13 AM can you send it by post in envelope? Single boards could be send in an envelop but the risk of damage is too high imho.it would be much cheaper. please qoute economy shipping cost to eu, thanks An alternative is economy package shipping without track & trace. Have a look at this brochure(in Dutch, but tables are easy to understand) http://www.postnl.nl/Images/Tarievenmap-augustus-2014-PostNL_tcm10-17455.pdf. Start by going to page 28 to figure out which area your country is (EUR1, EUR2, EUR3). Then go to page 6, first table and find the rate for your zone. For now an estimate: A DIY is around 50gr, a DIY0 is 100gr, a DIY1 is 500gr and a DIY2 is 750gr. I will check these weights later today. An example: 1 DIY1 + 2 DIY2(in total 2000gr, 2kg) to Norway(zone EUR3), no track & trace: €12.00 Economy shipment is also without insurance, so the risk is yours.

Ouch, shipping is costly to Australia, FedEx €58.12, AU$87.79 for 2 DIY2. You might want to order more than 2 DIY2, to lower the relative transport cost per DIY2. Each additional DIY2 will be another ~ €5 in transport cost. Title: Re: IN STOCK - OneStringMiner boards, up to 39GH/s last ITEMS: from US$15...FUN!!!
