That looks like a decent hub 12v x 5A  . Thanks for the link, sending crazyguy a message now . |

I've got a 2013 MS66 25ltc if you want to make me an offer  .  |

Interesting...I remember on S1 thread everyone was so helpful. I think thats because there were many more people buying and setting up S1s than there are these sticks. Plus S1s were very easy to set up. These are still pretty new and people are finding out what works and what doesn't. I will repeat my two questions one more time:
1. Is it better to run these sticks on USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 powered hubs? I already have candidates to order in each case. From what I understand Raspberry Pis will not work with USB 3.0 so you need a 2.0. Problem is even the good ones will struggle with a few of these sticks overclocked. Another answer here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.msg12898156#msg128981562. can someone provide a simple setup for using rasp pi in conjuction with these sticks.
All i need to know what to order, i will try to figure out software by myself.
BTW, Pi connects to its own power source, then to computer via usb or to router directly?
then you connect USB 2.0 hub to pi and stick sticks into the hub?
I had a reply with links when I asked the same question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.msg12893784#msg12893784Raspberry Pi acts as controller so it connects directly to hub to control your sticks. No need to have Pi connected to a pc. I'm not exactly sure how to set it up as I haven't done it myself. When I do I'll make notes and share . Crazyguy is selling Raspberry Pi's with pre-installed software to run these sticks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=612390.0Thanks hurricandave for the link . Or you can download image compiled by edonkey as mentioned in the first post of this thread ( I'm downloading it now ): Thanks edonkey |

Quick question guys. I've been mining on this pool with my 2 sticks for well over 24 hours now to the address given to me a few posts back: 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick Just wanted to make sure this is correct as I'm not listed on the pool stats page: http://poolmonitor.cryptoglance.info/ |

It's an exit scam, after you order, they will tell you it fails.
When you try to call to request a refund, they tell you 24-48 hour and it never happens, don't believe? Look up "tigerdirect scam" or "tigerdirect reviews" There is a common pattern of what happens to every one.
It's been 10 days since I ordered, I've had around 20 phone calls with them all running around in circles, everything they say to you is a lie, it's a stall tactic, they will say whatever they can to keep you waiting for a few more days or to just get off the phone, it's ALWAYS a lie.
The idea is, if they stall you long enough you won't care anymore and they keep your money.
This is a warning to fellow BTC'ers that decide to maybe order from tigerdirect.
Do not, for any reason, EVER trust tigerdirect with online orders, it is a scam and the customer support is only hired to sit there and lie all day (Seriously).
Thanks for reading.
You need to post evidence to back up your claim, signing up with a new account to shout 'scam' isn't good enough. For all we know you're just a dissatisfied customer, disgruntled ex-employee or run a competing business. |

Anybody have an opinion on Orico 10 port/3A vs Orico 9 ports/2.5A (this one says hot swappable, but 10 ports does not say it) or Etekcity 10 ports/2.5A?
Or any other (better) in the same $12-$25 category.
Or, maybe Anker is better at $35, although it is USB 3.0
Does it have to be USB 2.0 or could be USB 3.0, if I eventually might use Pi as well.
Thanks, much obliged.
I'm still quite confused too. From what I think though is that the Raspberry Pi's doesnt like many USB 3.0 powered hubs, but USB 3.0 provides the extra power required to run these sticks overclocked. I've got an Anker 60w USB 3.0 powered hub on order I'll let everyone know if it works once I've had a chance to test it. I'm running 2 sticks via USB 2.0 ports on the front of a pc @ 150Mhz (stock speed) and they've been running perfectly for about 24 hours now although you could fry an egg on the heatsinks  . I would however like to run them overclocked via a Pi and hub and add more sticks with cooling too. The PI does not like 3.0 at all. You are doing much easier to go with usb 2.0. You might adjust voltage and see if that lowers heat a little bit. Or you can add a fan, even a regular PC fan will help compared to passive cooling. That is what I used for cooling mine down. Tbh I ordered the USB 3.0 hub and it had been dispatched before I read about the issues so I'll try when it arrives if it doesn't work I'll send it back and get a USB 2.0 instead. Thanks for the voltage suggestion, I'll have a play with the voltage to see if I can reduce the heat as my digital USB voltage meter arrived today . |

The only people moaning about this are the newbie scammers because its making their scamming difficult. Well do you know what I say about that. Fuck them they're not welcome here  . |

Not everyone that buys BTC with Paypal is a scammer.
I've bought lots and have no intention of ripping anyone off.
As long as you deal with a reputable member with good trust you should be ok.
Deal with newbies or people without good trust and you're asking for trouble.
Use common sense and you should be alright.
If in any doubt deal in smaller amounts with several different people.

Actually use this, There was an extra space in the other one. cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick -p x --compac-freq 150 I've plugged my second stick in too so now I'm registering 18Gh is that okay?
Sorry said I'll only have 1 stick. If not I'll unplug it?
Use as many sticks as you want! Keep them at the .XXXstick address, I think. If you use any other miners use a .XXXdonation address. Welcome to the club. Cheers buddy thats great I will do  |

try this on the command line in the cgminer folder: cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u 1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick -p x --compac-freq 150 Perfect thank you we're up and running . Dont know what happened there, its been a long time since I've used cgminer.... sorry  |

Hi all, I've got my sticks now so if any spaces come up can I join in the fun please with 1 stick as I know I'm a late applicant . I have been holding a spot. due to your prior posts. let me make sure I did this correctly. Ok great thank you |

I'm so curious as to why you decided to open it. Was it loaded and you wanted the BTC or were you just curious how hard it was to open up?
I loaded and declared it my crypto savings for the future, after busting all i had i ended up opening it in a moment of rage and yoloing what it had in... won and cashed out but i regret it so much. I also was few steps of winning the lb tournament but i fucked it up in last second I won't be surprised if someone wants to buy some of the parts since its so unusual I cannot take money after what i did with it so if anyone covers shopping from sweden ill send them for free. If it was the case, i think im keeping it i kinda have feelings for her . I'd keep it if I were you. You'll go down in history as the first person to destroy redeem a Kialara  . |

My 2 x sticks arrived today. They have now been running for nearly 4 hours on cgminer perfectly . Running them @ 150 for now as they're on my spare pc usb ports without cooling:  I'll ideally have them running on Raspberry Pi with powered hub and fan in a few days when extra equipment arrives . |
