Title: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - sold out Post by: xiangfu on May 22, 2012, 10:37:45 AM Those Icarus are batch 3, tested for several weeks by me. mostly test with cgminer rig development, use OpenWrt router as host.
I will take orders from tomorrow, Wednesday, May 23 5:00AM UTC+8 (don't send email before this time) ---- until all 40 are sold. Price: 480USD + shipping cost. Package content: Icarus, usb cable, power adapter or power wire All package will send by EMS (http://ems.com.cn/english.html) This time we only accept BTC. after I receive order email I will send a new btc address to you. then after i receice the btc, I will ship your package immediately.

If someone watches http://blockexplorer.com/address/17haZtGFSMktDJjdm7K1WtcUcnsLYCbBLL or directly the network for a payment to that address he/she can send an email about it. You can better make a new address for each payment.

2. Order 3 Icarus 3. Order 3 Icarus 4. Order 2 Icarus 5. Order 1 Icarus May 23 update: 13 sold, 27 remaining Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: chungenhung on May 23, 2012, 07:27:00 PM Could you include BOTH power adapter and power cable?
I don't know what the power cable look like. Do you have a picture? Do you know where I can buy power adapter or power cable if you can't include both? Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: xiangfu on May 24, 2012, 12:09:13 AM The power wire:

I think it's easy to buy those kind of things, any power adapter that is 12v 2A is ok for Icarus. as I said if you buy more Icarus. I would advise use an ATX(PSU) power. I only know where buy those kind of things in China: taobao.com, may be ebay also have them. more info: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Icarus#Power_supply Could you include BOTH power adapter and power cable?

Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: xiangfu on May 28, 2012, 05:42:06 AM in the wiki page i see only linux commands. Windows are not proper for Icarus? No. the wiki page only linux commands because I only do the Linux stuff. There are windows cgminer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0 And a python application MPBM: https://github.com/TheSeven/Modular-Python-Bitcoin-Miner Those 2 application works fine under both Linux and Windows. Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: xiangfu on May 28, 2012, 05:57:30 AM Icarus using : TPS40193, there are some of them using: TPS40192. Maximum power supply capacity is greater than 12A. (by ngzhang)
Actually this does not answer my question. The BOM linked from this wiki is incomplete. I am sure the type of buck regulator was discussed in some threads but I cannot find the information...

Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: bulanula on May 31, 2012, 12:22:00 PM Just curious, for those that are buying them- what's the expected break even period for this device? With things like the block reward half coming and the BFL ASIC solution, nobody really knows. You could say it is x months and it can turn out to be 10x months for example due to above unknown factors. Mining is very risky all of a sudden :'( Same applies to any solution right now, including GPUs etc. Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: sadpandatech on May 31, 2012, 01:56:10 PM Just curious, for those that are buying them- what's the expected break even period for this device? currently it's ~388 days. Using the following variables for the input of math. cost = $480 speed = ~380MH for now: source; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51371.0 Current difficulty = ~1,591,075 BTC per day (100% pool) ~0.24 BTC Price = ~$5.15 USD per day = @$1.236 =initial cost / gross per day =480/1.236 = 388.35 Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: xiangfu on June 05, 2012, 09:52:25 PM Quick update:

Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: luffy on June 11, 2012, 07:51:50 PM mine is here also. i was amazed about the simpleness of the setup in Win7.
You just need prolific USB to COM drivers and cgminer with command line cgminer.exe -o http://xxx.com:8332 -u username -p password -S COMx --disable-gpu --failover-only where COMx the COM port that Icarus is connected to (like: COM1,COM2, etc) you should update wiki with this steps for windows users ;) Title: Re: Selling another batch of 40 ICARUS - shipping now Post by: xiangfu on June 15, 2012, 03:16:59 AM Better you do that. It allow edit without register. :-)
