Technobit with the use  of Spondoolies Tech's state of the art RockerBox ASIC are committed to furthering the decentralization of the bitcoin network .
. In light of this,We are  proud to announce its latest personal miner/ personal blockchain lottery device , the DICE single ASIC USB miner.

DICE is delivered with set of Win/Linux software that allow the use of the device 2 ways:
1. As an entry level mining device to work with a mining pool in order one to taste the Bitcoin mining.
2. As a personal Bitcoin lottery device - Customer installs software and do solo mining testing his luck.
There are two options provided with local node or CKpool based solo pool.
             *Now you are participating in bitcoin block mining lottery :
               Every 10 minutes, you have a chance of 150/300,000,000 to get 25 BTCs

*The device is able to work with TP-link (technobit dd-wrt firmware), Rpi with technobit patch for cgminer

'Personal Lottery Device' - I love it!  :D

price?

look here http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=93&controller=product&id_lang=1 (http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=93&controller=product&id_lang=1)

And the "personal Lottery Device" belongs to our partners ;)

thanks. looks good. I'm sure it will sell well. best of luck with it.

ADD; just paid for one - note, this flies in the face of my principles so consider yourselves honoured.
i've never bought a batch 1 miner in my life, but i reckoned, what the hell, it's a lottery ticket (as you so put it).

i'm gonna solo with it when it arrives, pure retro, it'll take me right back to 2010  ;D

Saving for placeholder.

Waiting for my sample  ;D

For a moment i thought it can be chained  :D

You copied my announcement so hard, only the highlighted stuff is different and most of that was because it doesn't pick up in line similarities. Dude....

https://i.imgur.com/2S36JWJ.png

Indeed dogie, your well written OP is appreciated. I used the template
 In my defense, your English is better than mine
 As a token of appreciation, I'll send you 2 Hex1RB samples.
 So  what is going on with BitmainTech  U3 , any troubles ? You can see that it disappear from the web site.

Peace

U3 is hard to tell, have stopped sales for now.

But why
No sales or sold out ?

Neither Yes sold out

barrel conector  2.5/ 5.5 mm ?

i suppose with a usb hub, similar to a chained setup... a sort of - octopus setup  :D

Technical problems ?

My bad, didn't see you said sold out :P Yes sold out of first production.

can't wait to see these little dice in action  :)

What exactly do you mean by that?

Thank you for the question , this needs to be explained
Basic:
1. Plug the device in PC as an example
2.Install software ( cgminer based)
3. Point it to mine solo to local bitcoin QT wallet or CKpool based solo pool
Now you are participating in bitcoin block mining lottery :
Every 10 minutes, you have a chance of 160/300,000,000 to get 25 BTCs

p.s. I'm adding this to OP

yes

it looks like the 5.5mm... can't be both  ???

marto74 you have a porn misspelling on your product page. "/blcockchain"  ;D

Edit: spelling

Wow, thank you
fixed
 ;D

nice looking device for mining entry/lottery play but should not need a pc for use. 

much more useful if it had a built in controller so you can just plug it in and forget about it.

You can always got a 20 USD TP-link, flash it with FW from our site and leave it mining unattended

Pcb shot plz with sugar on top (miner porn)

I'll be able to do it monday/tuesday

Kk

I am Horny and eager to see it also ;D

This is not right, you should be horny after seeing the picture, not before  :D

A bit of a premature roll of the dice going on there :p

does it work without usb hub?
tp link does not work directly with hex4m

have you tested this?

thanks

Yes it works without hub.
The problem with hex4m is that we did not have enough resources( too many buffers-> less space for USB one) in the MCU so hex4m uses the hub as an external buffer for usb comms

This seems a much more sensible device than the Bitmain U3

It has a higher hash rate
The power consumption and therefore heat dissipation is such as to make it a reasonable domestic heating device without it being excessive in a European winter
Because of the rectangular construction and horizontal heat exhaust, they are amenable to stacking vertically
One can choose the power supply one wants
The comparison with a lottery device is clever

At £0.15 per KWh it would cost £3.024 per week to run if one assumes it requires 120W
With Bitcoin at €300 the expected return per week would be (25*300*6*24*7)/2000000 = €3.78 (One over 2 million is the chance of it finding a block in each 10 minute interval.

On the minus side delivery (to the UK) is €32 giving an all in cost of €110 ?
I have not factored in the price or running costs of a Raspberry Pi, SDHC card and power supply
The technical information is sparse. (absolute maximum ratings ?)

Then there is the question of reliability - On Technobit's website (for another product) there is a cgminer screen.  It shows the best share as 73.1K for a hash rate of 368.7 GH/s - this suggests a short test duration (looking closer 6 minutes in fact).

If you would normally use 120W 24/7 for heating, the expected bitcoin return would cover the device cost in approximately 30 weeks (with no increase in difficulty)

£1 = €1.2 approximately

Forget using Rpi. You can use TPLINK TL-MR3020 as controller, price about 20 USD. Buy it at your local computer store  ;D

I remember someone advertising a similar service, but you had to just point your miner at the server. I was somewhat skeptical about it though since it was a homemade operation... I think this is a great idea, they just need to up the hashrate and make it so you don't need a PC. Anyone know of a legit blockchain lottery you can just point your device at?  

Thanks for the suggestion :)  I have been toying with the idea of buying one of these.

I still like the idea of using a Raspberry Pi B+.  I think one could connect 4 of these miners as it has 4 USB ports and I could compile cgminer on it if needed.  I would run tightvnc on it so that I could monitor it remotely.

Perhaps one can do all these things with a TL-MR3020 (except for the 4 USB ports) if flashed with the appropriate firmware but I suspect that the Raspberry Pi's community would help me think of other applications that I could run at the same time.

As promised PCB "porn"

http://s24.postimg.org/rzh8mwgwl/20141201_225812.jpg

Its cute. Looking forward to seeing pics of a working unit.

Rpi + memory card   vs TL-MR3020 + powered usb hub
TL-MR3020 + powered usb hub still win  :D

If you connect 4 miner to Rpi, i bet the load will be high for you to able run other app.
I don't know Rpi+, but the version before + series is a crap.
The hardware share interrupt between USB & ethernet hence make problem with mining sortware.

tracking link test

When will you release new firmware  ;D

Sleek looking miner.   Have you thought about a "special edition" white and have the dice dot's for numbers? Would be fun design.

MMkay, here's a question, are the driver documentation for cgminer/bfgminer going to be released to the respected software owners, or are you just going to fork your own spin of the software to work it the way you want it to?


also, 82 Euro / 101.50USD / 120.75AUD, Excluding shipping, for a 150GHs unit that would probably only do 100GHs pool side.. Wheres the Ausie resellers? Buy up 100 of them will ya?

and please tell me that you're not forcing people to use this for only your 1/20,000,000 (i did math right? didn't i?) chance game? i see it as an entry level miner, letting people decide what they do with it...

1/2,000,000 every 10 minutes.
It's full miner, you can do solo mining without full node by configuring cgminer to use http://solo.ckpool.org/
You need a PC or  a wifi TP-Link router with special firmware attached via the USB port.

well yeah, i have a old 'buntu'ed eeepc701 doing the mining work with the latest cgminer, I'm not going to use a cloned "our own custom mining software" version of it, call me paranoid, rockminers version spat out 120GHs on their "New R-Box" with 50% errors, but no other software could pull 80+GHs at less then 10% errors.. i suspect they did some calculation spoofing..

Well, i been mining using technobit gear. All of their gear do exactly as advertised & never reach 5% error.
The dice reach 157 GH on screen shot, so that what you will get on your pool.

All Technobit boards do have patches for cgminer. In other words it is fully open source. Despite other devices from day one all Technobit products DO show hashing rate exactly and dupes and hw errors are not accounted AS HASHESHS. The only diference are pool rejects but they are between 0.1-0.3% with stratum so in other words when you take avarage speed from the scree and multiply it by (100 -hw%) you will get hw rate as shown from the pool

So,1 6pin PCIE for power,what is the barrel connector powering ??? 

Or is it there as an "alternate" way to power the miner,instead of the PCIE  ???

alternative

here is the full bundle with TP-link included available now:

"DICE"+ preprogramed TP-link + USB cable pack
SHIPMENT18-th December 2014
first production batch

a patched version of cgminer does not mean documentation to the developers of cgminer so they can implement the drivers for said device correctly.
If technobit has the drivers and gives them up in the fork tree of cgminer, unless technobit tells them how to edit and modify the drivers, its up to technobit to implement it correctly. so guess what, when a new cgminer comes out, no updates to the drivers are going to be implemented, any security holes, memory leaks, chip killing code will be present in the next patch and there after...

and i don't just mean cgminer, Luke-jr's BFGMiner as well. no instructions for the code = no updates. (add human readable points in the code explaining what each part does yeah? better then nothing)

all im saying is technobit better not do what rocketminer does and ignore the mining devs. (and run off and try and centralise bitcoin via amhash)

also, look at the times on that screen shot, 1 minute run time, my "New R-Box" shows the same hash rates as that in that amount of time. then after 24 hours its down to 65-70GHs.

my 333Mhs Block Erupter could pull 66GHs in 1 minute, i should sell it as " The Only 66MH/s USB Block Erupter in the WORLD" ignore the fact that the software doesn't have enough measurement points to even out the numbers yet.

this thing would be good, not saying its bad, just trying to kill the hype of "OMG TEH HASHS, LIEK II GETZ IT ALL!" what you see on screen does not relate to hashes at the pool, 150Ghs minus Client side rejects - error rejects - pool side rejects (which may be sent back to the client as rejected) = pool side hashes. also, not all silicon is going to be perfect, there maybe a bad egg in the stock. not all calculation processes will be working, if that silicon chip has 1024 calculators, there maybe one or 2 dead, you could be unlucky and have the chip with a bug flying into the light on the lithograph (ignore the fact there is a better chance on getting a btc block with this then that happening with most die casting facilities)

also, that screen shot is modified, no showing the accepted rejected and dupes in the list (lets see that, how many dupes are there? common please), the R:0 and H:0 does not line up on the other lettering. on 5th look, it does line up, counted the pixels.. i think.

now, being someone with little play money, and stuck to only buy "hobbyist grade" mining equipment, i do want this, i just don't want it to fall in the piece of shit category. people like me get burned by this, whilst the rich folk get all the good stuff and get richer.


nice nice nice

is it just me, or does it look like it has both in the

but the board doesn't have a barrel mount point?

or is there 2 versions?, it be cheaper to make a barrel to PCIe power plug adaptor then spinning a new board yes?
or i could be missing something entirely?

What are you talking about dude? Your sentences twist up & make no sense.
Who is they you mean there?
Who will implement?

Type it slowly, one by one. This is not a race.

The people that "They" are is Ckolivas and if i recall correctly, Kano too.
They are the people who run and maintain CGMiner.
Any drivers for hardware that use CGminer is licensed under the GPLv3. This means that the source to any modifications that the hardware makers make to CGMiner code MUST be provided by law if the hardware makers distribute modified binaries.

if they do not, they could get sued

Technobit has offered the drivers as open source, but they better not just throw a blob of code up on the net and call it a day.

If the hardware developers do not give documentation on how the "open source" drivers work with the mining software, things are not going to work properly. Both Luke-JR and Ckolivas will require this.

EG: Rockminer made drivers for CGMiner 4.3.3, making the "New R-Box" run at 110Ghs, but there was a new version of CGMiner out with a security patch.
The devs (Ckolivas) attempted to implement the new modified drivers into the new 4.7.1 and 4.8.0, the drivers are not working correctly. Because Ckolivas does not understand how the drivers work, he needs documentation to get it running correctly. all that Ckolivas can do is modify some numbers and code to get something out, but CGMiner 4.7.1 and 4.8.0 does not run the "New R-Box" at 110GHs but at 80Ghs to 50Ghs.
Some people are lucky to get it working at 120GHs with it, but not all.

do you understand now? technobit better not follow rocketminer.
and i dont mean in the way of making a little mining box like the R-box's, i mean in the way of ignoring the software developers of the mining software.

Technobit never push their driver back to cgminer. If you read cgminer thread & cgminer thread, technobit driver never integrated to new original cgminer version. When new cgminer out from CK, technobit fork the cgminer & make new patch.
So technobit maintain the driver on their own.

and there be a problem, any security patches, and issues with the software, technobit will have to integrate it into their fork. and im not running a different mining program for every different mining hardware, i have the latest cgminer, and that is all i use, if technobit doesn't support the original developer of the software... ask what Ckolivas would do.

Hell, i could be completely wrong when Ckolivas hound the hardware developers when they make their own code. Ckolivas is putting driver codes into his software to get it running with the latest release. he wants documentation to make it work.

There is no need for companies like technobit to fork the software and maintain their own version.
Otherwise Ckolivas should dump all drivers out of the software and just let all companies to make their own forks and have everyone run 20 different versions of the same software for their 20 different type of mining hardware.

It looks to me that board is unfinished,the barrel connector has yet to be mounted as the PCIE also  ;)

The barrel connector should end up next to the USB port.

Let me try to clear:
1. We do not do GIT forks, but we strictly publish source code of our drivers with every ne version for the TP-link. Anybody can check it and build it .
2. You accusation about fake CGminer screen is absurd :
    - The RocerBox chip is hashing 200 GHs in our 4 chip design , there are devices working in customers hands already
    - FYI there is a screen mode in cgminer where it changes the data .
    - We never advertised fake data on our devices, it can happen they are over performing rather than under.
3. Ckolivas's job is to make mainstream compatible , with custom drivers we are able to refine the work of the SW with our HW.
4. Most of our devices are used standalone without PC working on cheap TP-link, that have limited resources in terms of RAM and CPU, so with custom driver we are maintaining good performance on this low cost controller.

yeah, but where? there is no place to mount it, barrel should a be a though hole solder mount, but left, next to the usb is a MOSFET, and to the right is a quartz clock can

these are first 2 prototypes .
ThE production version , that is in production already have a barrel do not worry.

1:fare enough, the driver are there for any mining software developers to implement.

2: good to know, the chip is capable of 200Ghs, with many people to back it up.
I do remember that CGMiner can go into silence mode, doesn't show all data.
I did correct myself over the "fake screenshot lol" although i have seen some good modified ones, made me look several times over.
over/under preforming or not, the software has been running under 15 minutes, looks like it may have been for 1 to 5 minutes.. give it a 24 hour run... but i can see someone say "lol premined hardware!"
None the less, it shows its Working hardware! for a 160GHs item, showing 140Ghs in 5 minutes, i'd be quite happy with that (better then 100GHs item only giving you 50GHs)..

3: aye, he will need to make them drivers work with his software, you will need to document on how to run that driver, you can maintain it, but don't skimp on the documentation. as i said, Luke-jr would be in the same boat.

4: I've done some work with them and getting them to work with things i want (Pen testing drone anyone?) i know what its like to get software to fit in the small 4MB space.. CGMiner wont fit unless you put it on a diet.. or used something smaller and simple.


Ah! makes more sense now, thank you
...wait, does it have both? or just barrel? ether way i can power it

It have both

so that means roughly 10 x 6 x 24 x 365 x 150/300,000,000 = ~25% chance of getting 25BTC per year?!

@AJRGale
look here
http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=53&controller=product&id_lang=1# (http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=53&controller=product&id_lang=1#)
You can find our bin/patch sources for download.
Download one and take a look over the source

I believe that would be not 25% but 0.25% maybe. Idk not had morning Coffee

sounds like fun  ;D

for €100 i'd rather have one of these than buy a lotto ticket every week for a year.
a lotto ticket won't give extra heat to your house, one of these will make a nice foot warmer in my office

EDIT, ordered two. one for each foot.

👍 can't put a price on warm feet and comfort

i got 0,2628 (or 26,28%)

i won £10 on the very first week of the lotto, many years ago. i've won nothing since.
if I get 25BTC with a Dice in the first week, i'll be very content.

I don't want to buy a TP-LINK - I want to use a Raspberry Pi B+ and compile an official cgminer on it.

and so..

without TP-Link.
http://bit.ly/1w0YvEH

you're welcome.

Where do you get the "10" from ?
There are 6 chances an hour so -

6 x 24 x 365 chances a year => 2.6% chance of winning in a year

ah yea thats right, i integrated the 10min. XD knew i was wrong somewhere.
cheers.

"DICE is delivered with set of Win/Linux software" - how is it delivered ?

Has Ckolivas been involved with you in producing updated cgminer s/w for you ?  Can I drive a Bitmain U3 with your software ?

These calculations are approximate I think.  If one redoes the calculation with 40 years (instead of 1) it would give a probability greater than 1 (impossibe) - and as we know the probability is less than 1.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is just a USB based Bitcoin miner. Marto's suggesting you can run a solo node or use ckpool and try to solo mine a block, but you can use this to mine on a pool as well. The DICE themselves aren't winners, it's just Bitcoin mining.

Your formula appears correct though, with the following assumption that difficulty doesn't change either from outside sources, or you buying enough to affect difficulty.

I have some questions how this lottery works. Is this only a solo mining that everyone with every mining machine can do? Do this machine have a special setup to run the lottery?
thx

in essence, every bitcoin mining machine is a lottery device if you mine solo with it. this one is just more affordable than any other on the market.
i don't think it's obligatory that you mine solo with this, it's just a quirky option. you can also mine on any other pool with it (i think) as with any other miner.

ok thx

Cool! Gonna get a few, heck why not!

Enough for a farm?  8)

No, you are absolutely right.
Some people just can not see what advertisement mean by using "DICE" word.
   

Simple
We make and publish source of a  patch for cgminer , that can be build with cgminer in order to make all technobit devices with cgminer on your desired platform (Win, Linux, Rpi, Tp-link etc.)
With the dice we'll send you a pre compiled cgminer for both win and Linux with only DICE drivers.
You can still use the patch to build together with cgminer and whatever other device drivers you like .
Ckolivas is involved as much we use his open source cgiminer and by GPL licence publish the source of the patch (drivers) for our devices

What's wrong with winning 2 or 3 times of 25BTC during long time period? I mean loooooong, if difficulty is rising... Did I heard somewhere that BTC difficulty started falling?

after the fire i think, that ~1% of the network, it slowed down, short term it made a few pools and people take some longer time to to crack a block.
its not going to slow right down where it hits reverse. you need to shutdown a hella lot more then that.. also btcguild going down may be part of the cause too.

I would like to get some info about the noise level ... the specifications says ~20 DB at 25 °C ambient temperature ... is this true and is this at max load @160 GH/s? Is it equipped with some high quality 80mm fan that adjusts speed in accordance with the temperature?

Hi,
It is equipped with sunon fan and it RPM are set in order to be as silent as it can @ 160 GHS and 25 degrees room

Hi, may I get a unit to review?

The speed is fix at maximum speed of fan. None of Technotbit miner had pwm feature for fan speed control until now, in future maybe  :)

Has anyone with a so low hashing power already found a block?

I think that in high-cost energy countries a lottery ticket'll cost much less compared to the monthly electrical bill :D

You are forgetting that for the lottery you play once in what :a day, a week, month.
And with blockchain you have roughly 10 games per hour

I think you mean 6 per hour. 10 minutes per lottery. Average. Hey marto, send me a unit? :) hehe. I'll wrap it in white and put some dots on it, so it looks like a giant dice.

stop begging, it doesn't suit you  ;)

Anyone have any stats on ckpool?  I'd be interested to see that since this is marketed towards using that pool for the lottery-aspect.

It is too early but we are going to provide solo "CKpool" style solution specialy for DICE's

How much will i be charged for shipping to germany?
Think from Bulgaria is not so much as for UK?

For Germany we use DPD Road .
2-3 days, 32 EUR flat rate form 0.5 to 20 kgs

thank you for the reply, i look into it.
Will contact you over your Homepage.

 a bit too pricy for the hash delivered

About the same as a used antminer s1 on ebay... I guess the upside is the low power requirement. I'm still not convinced about the odds of the block reward in an earlier post. I think the odds are much higher than what was calculated.

I agree. I think this is an interesting device but the price needs to be no more than $50 for the hashrate to be a sensible device. The "lottery" aspect is just to market it to novices as a novelty device which is fine for introducing people to Bitcoin, but not for mining.

i love how people thing that small mining hardware should be the same price/GHs as massive 5THs systems, its only 1 chip + power + hardware around it, not 256 chips + power + hardware around it.

if people think that small hardware should be cheap on $/GH then Make them will ya?! there is so little of this stuff in the market! next level down is usb dongles at 10x the price/GH!

If the price per GH doesn't make economical sense then what is the point other than as a novelty device that most likely will never hit a block in a hundred years?

Pssh, send some my way so I can take real 24MP goodness.

why does people have to start mining at the price of $5000? i only have 80GHs and $40 in BTC to my name, its all i have. but no, there is the people that started years ago and 100s of 1000s of BTC to their name demanding bigger and faster mining rigs, and us little "Hobbyist Miners" are left behind. if there was only these type of miners out in the world, people may have rooms full of them, but it would make it fairer for the small guys.

buy no, "These are more then prima in price per GigaHash! you will never sell them!"

Nice, looking forward dogie 24MP goodness.

This is a great idea. Will there be a way of limiting individual hashpower on workers to make sure no big beastie jumps in?

what is power consummation at the wall for Technobit "DICE" 160Ghs ?

90-100W

Is it Technobit "DICE" 160Ghs, can be undervolt or downclock, for lower power consummation whit mr3020, whit your firmware ?

can you use a power brick or is it atx power supply only?

yes

You can use both

marto, are you going to design board for BE300 chips  :)

because i'm a raskul - and FC took down this image from his OP  8)

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi58.tinypic.com%2F2w4gom0.jpg&t=547&c=akk5CybZ9h_QYA

Raskul, that is a very interesting looking board.  Clearly a string miner setup, yet only six rows of chips, which means that the input voltage is probably ~3.3V, not 12V.

It looks like there are no controllers on the board, which means that the only I/O would be SPI, which is what the chips speak natively (unless that changed from previous BE ASICs).  Looking at both ends there's an SPI in and an SPI out, which implies that these boards could be chained together off of a single controller.

Worth pointing out although Friedcat already mentioned it, the PMS01 ASICs do all the level shifting necessary for the BE chips, making these string miners much cleaner than the original prisma.  The big FET next to the PMS01 is probably for sinking current to reduce ripple, which is one of the reasons that prismas were so good at catching fire.  When ASICs go idle, the FET sinks power to keep the current draw constant. 

I'm also intrigued by the label, BE300_X24_Board_Rev1.0
Maybe AM is doing a string X24 miner?  If you had 4 boards you could chain them and drop ~3V across each, so a 12V rail could supply power.

Does that render in the original post use comic sans?.... Nice

Is this is a SCAM?

Just asking :)

Thanks advance
and
God Bless!!!!!

well from a MATH sense of using it to mine for a block with it on a hope prayer (bicoin lottery device) you could say that

on the other hand if I needed a space heater in a cubicle at work and had free elec wtf I'd prob buy one

(keep the toesies warm and what the heck you could get lucky)

cute toy....and it makes nice whirly noises and has them pretty LCD's

Did you order one of the DICE? can you picture it, even 1 picture only please :(
Im interesting about this DICE :) must gonna buy 1 for me :3

Sorry for my very BAD English

Thanks advance
and
God Bless!!!!!

First production batch will be ship on December 18th. So the the only one that had the miner is marto & i believe he already post the picture.
The dice is in sale now with discount http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=95&controller=product&id_lang=1

naw don't need a bitcoin lottery device (got a refund from bfl my lottery luck is all run out!) no office no free elec no need to heat toesies

but wth have fun with yours

i've ordered two, one for each foot  ;D

yeah but you have the free elec at the office right heh (toesie revenge on the boss free elec)

by the way you technobit folks if you get an upsurge in orders for cubicle office toesie heaters I want a cut!

Searing

i work at home in my own businesses, so i'll be paying the electric on these ones...

4 chips per row, 6 rows = 24 (as seen on photo)

Haha, this become  off topic  ::)

Any coupons or discount codes available for these? Perhaps free int'l shipping?  ::)

It's on sale now with 20 EUR discount :)

Hype Hype Hype, its only 2 days away from shipping..

Oh I get that it's a 24 chip design, it's just a very interesting one as it the string design there is not long enough to accept 12V in.

My guess is that you would need 3-4 of these boards to come up with something you could power off a 12V rail.  (depending on the set point, BE300s automatically clock themselves off of input voltage)

--
novak

I am guessing that it's probably four boards per unit, and they'll just use the existing tube approach they've done already.

That was my guess too but it's actually a very low clock setpoint, even lower voltage than at their so called "low power" setpoint, because that would require 3.3V per board, 0.55 V per chip.  If you powered four of these off of 12V you have 3V per board, 0.5V per chip.  Alternately, three boards would be 4V/board, 0.666 V/chip, which is close, though slightly lower than the "standard" setpoint of 0.7V/chip.  But many 12V rails are slightly high anyhow, so it might be pretty close.

I hope they release more info on their chips soon.

(I'm sorry to hijack the thread)

looking forward to receiving my Dice units  :) shipping out tomorrow Marto?

when we can download updated firmware for MR3020 with support "DICE" ?

Yes as scheduled

It will be up before first customers get the units

so  I can mine with it in a pool?
 I can solo mine it.
If I knew these worked well I might get some.


If I buy 10 = 702 euro's correct? a 10% discount on bulk.


what is shipping to USA for that 10 pack? 

Just create an account choose the desired quantity and choose preferred shipping you'll have a cart with the exact full price

P.S
First batch packed for pickup
The second batch is in sales now

id so put an order in, to bad postage is more then the price of the unit :(

waiting on my units coming.
will i get tracking Marto?

maybe i missed it but what is shipping to the usa for just 1 unit? (more or less ball park figure is ok)

I never bothered to check.  I will look now  78 for the device and 63 to ship it. = 141 Euro that is  173 usd

He needs a USA seller maybe someone gets 50 from him.  They look to fit in a flat rate box.

I don't have the time to do a group buy like that.  Maybe crazy guy or canary in the mine or someone else.

It is a nice looking product for the right price.

Hi there!

this is the question to Technobit. Why you folks newer answer on messages posted via your website form. I've been trying 3 times. All of them was unsuccessfull. And this is only contact that clients can find on your website.

What the best method of communication for you? do you have any public email I (and other clients) can write to be sure that I'll get answer?

And my questions:
1. is it possible to pay via bank transfer?
2. can you provide invoice for the item?

Thank you.

still not sure WHY I would get this? but it is not a consideration if the postage to midwest USA is more or less the price of the unit
(not sure what I'm thinking what would I do with it ...mine TEKCOIN?) :)

but then again at 100watts is it (??) and 150gh for dorking around with it probably better then firing up the Jupiter 550gh I guess

(again just can't seem to let it go.....home mining is over...must resist...araahaghagggh) :)

Yes,
1. When finishing your order you can choose between : Paypal; Bank trnasfer and Bitpay. If you choose Bank  Wire you'll get our bank details for transfer.
2. Invoices are automatically issued as soon your payment is cleared

Look @ the bottom of the page for contact info
you can use office@technobit.eu

Really interesting

I would buy one for about 100 usd just to fuck with it.  but 173 is too high.

I can get an s-3 for 180 and downclock it to be quiet. say freq 150 . it will do 300gh at 225-240 watts

Your doing the smart move, buy yourself something nice for xmas :D

my tootsies are cold, when are my foot warmers arriving?

Your sending should be there tuesday

 :) thanks.

DICE only release http://technobit.eu/DICE.rar
* For DICE ersion DHCP is enebled by default, when flashing fro olde technobit img DO NOT KEEP SETINGS!!!!

can you login to your router and see what ip it takes?

Try 192.168.1.254

The .0 or .1 is your subnet, its likely that your subnet is preset to .1

No, there is no cgminer for windows that work with DICE.
Current HEXMINER also had no support for DICE.

Marto said the DHCP is enabled by default, you need to check on your router if the router assign any ip.

Or
http://tbdice.org/myminers/
 ;)
With tplink only of course

It's nice to see "myminer.io" auto miners discovery becomes an industry standard :)

it is dhcp
check yourrouter or use lan ip scanner

I didn't receive any software with my purchase. Just received 2 of the Hex1RB's in the mail today with no cables and no software. Any chance you could look out for your customers and ship me a TP-MR3020 on the house? I can show you my purchase history.. Been buying from TechnoBit all year. Would love some help getting my 300 Gh mining. Don't have a spare 60 USD right now or I would purchase the TP. Spot me and I will pay you payments over the blockchain && would very much appreciate it.

Yes, you connect TL-MR3020 to your home router either directly or via switch/hub. In the past the switch is in 3G/4G.
The tplink will act as "pc", the usb port will act like usb port on pc. We had been using tplink more than a years this way.

You should already know that technobit never send usb cable & software unless you order it.
There is two DICE on sale right:
1. 98 EUR is DICE + TL-MR3020 + usb cable
2. 78 EUR is DICE only

Right now is TL-MR3020 only. Patch for cgminer not published, so you can not compile cgminer on Rpi or linux pc.

Solo pool for DICE owners launched
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=906773.msg9963515#msg9963515

Awesome work.
Congratulations!

Zich: Seems awkward to pay almost 3 hundred bucks for ASIC w/o cables or software so close to 2015..

This is a quote directly from the page I ordered my device from:

"DICE is delivered with set of Win/Linux software that allow the use of the device 2 ways:"


http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=93&controller=product&id_lang=1 -- I would really appreciate any help I could get. Would just like to see my money working for me. Damn shame to see my pair of dice sitting on a table not being rolled every ten mins.. Thanks for your time.

Stil waiting for my dice   :(  Been in Germany according to the tracking since the 23rd.  (I'm in the UK)

Christmas holidays got a whole bunch of packages stuck. The only thing you can do is call the shipping company (if they have a working hot line) and ask them when is the next flight and if your package will be in it

Do you give the cgminer patch with the low price device?

Patch was always there. But this time marto forgot to include it. I am sure he will sort it out ASAP ...

Because if someone buy the simple version how can run it without any software? :P

There is precompiled image for tplink available for download already and it works great..... ;)

I mean if you dont want to buy tplink and plug it to a pi rasberry or to a pc

Pc power efficiency sucks 150 w+ just for cgminer?
Pi usb sucks also...thee are various hw/software issues with usb of pi. The main pi issue is that Ethernet is over usb also.
But in general you can do both. There is a guy 2good he is making windows builds with zdiag and all that stuff for pi you will have to build it yourself though

I think that is default when you have a miner to run linux and for that i ask. Anyway i was looking to buy this but only the simple version and only if is a proper cgminer patch or cgminer new version with support this machines

Yes tplink image runs latest cgminer so as I said it is a matter of time for marto to publish the patch
If you ask me just try tplink and you will not ever regret for that choice ;)
You can buy one from Technobit or from your local store
The folks who have experience with tplink and Technobit images can confirm it ...
I had 70 days uptime with tplink before power failure in my home due to local electricity company

I'm certain the tplink would be the best option, but if you order the bare bones miner (as I did) you should at very least get a link to working software, I feel. Anyways, just agreeing that everyone should grab a tp w/ their orders.. or Technobit could mod the case designs a lil more and include them in their setup's.. as bitmaintech does with their controller boards.

Aside from 2 days of downtime as soon as they arrived due to no information & the fact I didn't realize I couldn't use them out the gate, Technobit replied to my email and fixed everything right up for me. Have been purchasing hardware from them all year and definetely recommend to the first-time buyer. 

I'll get you up and running, just like we did with the Zeus  :D If that wasn't a "Hail Mary" hack I don't know what is.

Guys,

I found a bug in /usr/bim/miner.sh that is the script which starts cgminer

it should be soething like:

......
HOPTIONSR=" --suggest-diff $res --set_default_to_r --hexminerr-asic-diff $_rcer --hexminerr-pic-roll $_rcrpm --hexminerr-chip-mask 255 --hexminerr-voltage $_rcvm --hexminerr-options 1:$_rcfm "

The important part is --hexminerr-options 1:$_rcfm "
it was --hexminerr-options $rccm:$_rcfm " which is wrong

if you have problems with fixing it just pm me a Teamvier User/pass so i can fix it for you while new fw image is released

yes you can no probs just use usb hub

So no problems dude

Resume for other folks

1. tbdice.org was not resolving  - some dns issues the workaround is to use static dns to your pc and tplink
my favourites are 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4 google always works ;)

2. Do not forget to fix miner.sh as posted above
3. enjoy :)

And exersize with putty :D Without it all of us are lost

Alright.. Any help is appreciated.

Here's what I am doing:

mkdir cgminer

unzip cgminer-4.6.1 to /cgminer
(grabbed 4.6.1 from http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ because i saw DICE0 working on the TechnoBit website in a screenshot..)

apply patch from 0.4.0.rar on the Technobit website. (i omitted applying the srev patch since im not using scrypt gear)
patch -p1 < rev_9afd0a216a0f95adb650e4818f24af1a61ad837d.patch

then;

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-hexminerr

This is where I'm hitting the wall..

Any suggestions?

I have also attempted grabbing the latest and running with it.. 4.9.0 did not see my DICE device.. =/ If anyone can give me tips on what I may be doing wrong or any suggestions on what to do.. Appreciate it.

Wait for marto to publish the patch it will not work like this.
Or use tplink if you can...

Would love to use a TP router to solve this problem.. but you can't use what you don't have...

Will be anxiously awaiting marto's patch so I can begin mining with my machine... 
Until then.. I will be attempting to fix this myself. Will update.

Agreed. Received a pm from loshia with exactly what I needed. Have now got cgminer 4.9.0 showing me the device.. Now to tune in the parameters..

Super.
For all of you who want 160gh from dice

Increase the voltage to 700 and clock to 850. But try jently with clock start in steps 700 750 800
Do not push it to much ;)

http://s9.postimg.org/x8adxrfvy/DICE.jpg -- Screenshot of my DICE working perfectly.

Thanks to loshia for the walkthrough.

Grab latest cgminer from git
1. (git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git)

apply patch - got mine from here --> tbdice.org/100_hex.patch
2. (patch -p1 < ./100_hex.patch)


then you build;
3. ./autogen.sh
4. ./configure --enable-hexminerr
5. make
6. make install

& run w/ correct parameters
7. sudo cgminer --set_default_to_r --hexminerr-asic-diff 4 --hexminerr-pic-roll 60 --hexminerr-chip-mask 255 --hexminerr-voltage 700 --hexminerr-options 1:800 -o stratum+tcp://tbdice.org:3333 -u YOURBTC -p x

&& your off hashing!

Nice chicks dude just below your screen shot  ;)
Is marto giving one for free with the DICE just for warmup ;)
Now seriously
You are setiing setting asic dificulty. Rocker chip needs it. Spondo tech guys call it leading zeros....When you are not using tplink and not minig solo or want accurate pool stats you need to add suggest-diff to cgminer see my post above. How to calculate this - pow ( 2, asic diff -1)
If you set asic diff to 5 for example dice will return only results > 16. Higher dificulty will make USB communication less stressed preferable especially when you have many devices via usb hub. It will safe a lot of CPU cycles also
If your pool does not know about it you may loose hash rate when diff is 10 - pow (2,9) 512 for instance. Once agin it does not hurt solo at all it just will screw up your POOL stats. In solo at current btc diff cgminer will always send winning share :P
With other pools just make sure to set up your worker min diff to match the calc. And remember not all pols do suport suggest-diff just watch it
And finally you can always trust cgminer stats they are on spot 100 % guaranteed ;)

DICE only release http://technobit.eu/OK_DICE.rar
* For DICE version DHCP is enebled by default, when flashing from older technobit img DO NOT KEEP SETTINGS!!!!
*UPDATED + patch 29_12_2014

If you are using tbdice.org solo pool you can find your TP-link IP address by visiting http://tbdice.org/myminers/index.php (http://tbdice.org/myminers/index.php) from a PC in the same LAN where your TP-link with DICE firmware is

Here you can find cgminer for windows that supports DICE: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=569689.0

Download DICE version.

With voltage to 700 what is the watt from wall? I mean wall sorry for my bad english :P

depends from the clock ;)
I do not know unfortunately but both clock and voltage are involved ....
2Good knows it probably. check if there is a review of dice from him

Not yet, waiting for my dice :)

yes

Maybe your power supply is not good enough or you have some problems with the connections.

What kind of power supply? Brand & type?

Any coupons on the horizon to bring the price down on these units?  ???

@minerjones
The PSU n500 is only 400W at 12V line, so it may not be enough for the initial startup

Hey,
1. What is written on 500W ATX envelope 12v how many amps?
2. Is this psu single or multi rail. You are overloading it for sure
Probably PSU  over-current protection kiks in or there is too big voltage drop in 12V output which dice is not able to handle
My advise for you is:

do not try anymore with this psu to power two Dice miners. You got lucky so far and there is no magic smoke yet  ;) But if you continue to try the PSU will BLOW.

Send us picture of your psu stamp it says 12V Amps single or multy rail and so on

But once again do not push it anymore leave just one miner to mine

You can try to decrease chip voltage at the end. Not a good idea try with 680,670 and so on with just one miner at the beginning. Watch HW errors in cgminer. When they start to increase or if board does not want to start mining go one step backward. Doing this you will downclock the miner and decrease consumption - but HW errors will increase also. But as i said not good idea. If the PSU is 400W at 12V in reality you should not experience such problems

It is low cost psu so 400W is just a spec......

So mistery is revealed  ;)

Thermaltake 600W has 2 x 12V rails right?
Are two miners working with Thermaltake 600W?
No?
Then most probably you are connecting both miners to 1 rail which is capable of UP 20A. Make absolutely sure that you are coneting two miners to two separate 12V rails
If you can measure the 12V rail voltage while miners are not working it would be great. You will know if it is a PSU or something else

I am not sure about that LEPA, thermaltake is dual rail. So you need to hook 1 DICE to 1 rail.
Some PSU need load in +5V rail, you can hook the TPLINK there.

I always use single rails PSU(at least bronze)

What is the type? Is it VP550F?
Such a waste, why did you buy another dual rail PSU ?

I am using this Seasonic M12II 620 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095
It's single rail

Or you can use Seasonic M12II 520 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093

Hello marto74,

Speedy tracking says "Canceled: SYSTEM RETURN", this doesn't sound good... Order Reference is NFSFYUHIK. Can you please look in to it?

Thank You.

Confused with setup.  If im not too hungover tomorrow I will try and figure it out. BTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTCBTC

Better, you can run 4 DICE with 620  ;D

What is the problem?

....
What is the problem?..?????
It is plug and play with tplink.....
Any way pm me so we can solve this out

So the "lottery" is solo mining? Where did you get that 150/300,000,000 odds from? Thanks. Sorry if this has already been asked.

The device has hash rate of approximately 150 GH/s
The world hash rate is approximately 300,000,000 - see https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate

How much time i need to see my miners?, my order is this DIFSRTQII I bought it on 2014-12-21 and the status never changed.

The DICE is a very interesting Miner for Office use.

I would buy two or more DICE if i could use an native cgminer version.

I'm using several R-Box , New R-Box and Antminer U3 and don't want to use two or more forks of cgminer.

If you want to sell more Miners let the native fork of cgminer support all your Miners!

Has anyone made any BTC / won the BTC lottery off one of these yet?

Is the "technobit patch for cgminer" integrated into the official source code for cgminer yet ?

No, that won't happen. You need to apply the patch manually.

Surprising that Technobit requires their customers to do this rather than for them to arrange for it to be done just once.
Can you give me a link to the instructions.  Sorry if you have already published this.

Technobit provided ready for use firmware (http://technobit.eu/dice_cron.rar) for TPLINK TL-MR3020 if you own TL-MR3020.

For pc running linux or Rpi:



For Windows: http://bitcoinbg.eu/tools/technobit/cgminer_technobit_win_0_4_1_DICE.zip

Thanks for the instructions


I tried this on its own:

and received

Ahh, sorry about that. Seem like dropbox can not be used anymore for wget command.

Try

Thanks, that worked ok.

What is the current price on these? Has it been lowered to reflect the new low price of BTC? ???

Yes, it's been lowered but not much  :D

Without controller is 65 EUR & with controller is 88 EUR. http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_category=19&controller=category&id_lang=1

It need to be no more han $50 shipped to be of any use. Otherwise it's just a fancy paper weight.  :P

I'm waiting my dices from december  :'(

Seriously though back to my earlier question is anyone making money off these or won the "lottery"? Or is it more just a hobby miner?

IMO is a hobby miner

TechnoBit DICE Bitcoin ASIC Cooling Performance (http://cryptomining-blog.com/4423-technobit-dice-bitcoin-asic-cooling-performance/) [cryptomining-blog.com]

Gentlemen, I have a question about the firmware version for the TP-Link MR3020 which technobit released. (The DICE version, of course)
It seems the startup scripts might be messed up? The dropbear SSH interface doesn't seem to launch even when disabling and re-enabling it's auto start option, it has to be enabled manually.

Also, I'll be sharing shortly a post regarding my experience in enhancing DICE's cooling.

Disable the DHCP option on the tplink.

You are doing something wrong. Just install dice tplink fw using tftp to reset everything inside tplink or use web upgrade without keep settings
Ssh works for sure

That's what I did in the first place.


That solved it, thanks!

Also, here's the thing about the cooling. With the fact in mind that some of us live in tropical / extremely bloody hot countries, I've been pondering about adding a low power exhaust fan to it, so that I could make use of the default 915 frequency and 720 mv settings without causing a lot of hardware errors.
I bought an ultraquiet Akasa 80mm fan, which came along with screws and a 3-pin to 4-pin connector, along with a 3pin connector if you still want to monitor it's speed.
At maximum speed, I could barely hear any noise from it. It was also a -perfect- fit for the techobit's case, even the screws fit perfectly.

http://imgur.com/hq9xBVi

Very strange dude ???
Any way you got your solution and ssh
Happy maiming

can you still buy one of these? or not?

have not heard of them lately

if so are they on hand or a pre-order dream or what?

and are they legit?

Buy?

Deliver?

The second one is the problem and why 100s of customers are still waiting on units.

Go to their Bulgarian forum and inquire. Just ask Loshia to show you how to get seemless delivery. It involves kickbacks and lying to this forum. Sure he is their number 1 customer according to Martin. Also note a number of official consumer complaints were filed against technobit in Bulgaria. These remain unresolved. Also the chip black arrow boards for many have yet to be shipped or compensated. Even Adam aka vat fraudster Dogie lowered their rating to untrustworthy.

In a word. No.

Searing,have you not read this thread ???   NO DELIVERY,you remember that don't you,hmmm,let's see...who was that...........Oh,BFL!!!  :D

Please read BEFORE buying,just wait for sidehack man!!!  ;D

If you still have an urge to spend some money on mining equipment, check out one of the group buys. There is one that's trying to get organized. The current theory is that the S5 is "too old" and they want to accumulate funds for "the next Bitmain thing". I have no idea how much they are accumulating, and they don't know anything about what they'll buy, just that they "want to jump on it when it comes out".

Sounds right up you alley, no?  :)

This is all based on your recounting of your past experiences. Please don't take this seriously as it's compounds risk on un-announced nothing. I am just being flippant in what looks like an attempt to buy something NOW.

naw was not gonna buy....just wanted an answer....guess i did not have to work that hard to find one.....only reason i asked was avalon making a 125gh usb miner
someone said i think it was on sidehack's thread? and if they are making (or supposedly i guess now) on the above prices...well ....the avalon story is unlikely i guess as well
cause i can't see anybody making any miner no matter the size for less then 75 bucks

but yeah sidehack ..i'll take a loss on that toy just to have some asic candy..... but yeah shoulda looked back on this thread i guess

(it seemed a simple enough question at the time when I looked at the site they are STILL taking orders heh :)   

ah ...the sent of BFL in the AIR

If Avalon is gonna sell a miner,they or someone will start a thread.Wait for it  ;)

NEVER buy anything from Technobit...........  ::)

The stench of BFL,KnC,Hashfast,etc.... yeah it's everywhere  :(

Any news about the delivery of the Dice?

Did anyone got one?

really interesting deivce ...
any news?

Does this product even exist or was it just another dream that people fell for and they blindly gave their money to a bunch of theives who ran away with the money?

don't buy from technobit, I never got my miners, I never got my refund

He shipped at the start, but apparently did not continue to provide the hardware for purchasers.  I was looking to get one of these so I am pretty happy I lost track of the project, and never ordered!

TBDice just won a block:

Nice 2 blocks in 3 days... with ~45 TH/s

@marto74

any update from TechnoBit???

No, the TBDice pool has something like 43 TH/s, and the miner who hit the block has 30 TH +/-. Still a sweet block find!

Nice

Folks,
Pool is closing within days.
Please read our pool thread for detals

An interested product, but no answer from Technobit about the DICE...

From what I can see, Technobit doesn't exist anymore, even if the website is still functionnal and you can even process an order up to the bank transfert payment (don't do it unless you want to loose your money).

I'd be really curious to know how many people ended up being screwed by them and how much money was involved.
Did they pay upfront all their suppliers or do they have some debts there too?
I feel really lucky that I received all my orders from them, even if they were not many of them and the amount wasn't too high.
Martin even sent me some replacement (empty) pcbs for the Hex16A1 after I got one burnt to death.

Where I can fin one of these second hand ?

from what folk on this thread have said you can't get them 1st hand....you can get bitfury 1's on ebay at 180gh for like 100 bucks or so on ebay.just do that less risk :)

or 2 butterfly labs 60 gh miners for like 69 bucks lol on ebay also :)

just saying.....never seen a used one on ebay ..only heard of a few that got some on this thread before 'poof' it all went


sad part is guy at spondoolies if i remember right ? ... recommended this guy back in the day..bet he regrets that plug :)
