The website news section has been updated with the estimated international shipping costs. Those prices are not final, but are likely what the costs will be. I do have a friend that may end up shipping EU based orders out from the UK to reduce the costs slightly on small orders, but that is not finalized and is not something you should plan on.
Orders are still expected to go live on Friday, June 28th for the US based orders. Estimated time is between 6 and 7 PM (PDT). The orders will go live even if the first batch is not arriving until Monday. The checkout page will inform you of the current inventory status, including your place in line, and the ETA for units to arrive in stock to fulfill your order.
man... I'm in the wrong pool *sniff* *sniff* You can always switch  . With ASICMINER gone the 51% threat is -long- gone from BTC Guild. Yeah, but thing's have been good on Slushy's pool. It wouldn't be right to abandon him just to buy one ASICminer(thats all the BTC i have). I'm just sick of paying crazy stupid eBay prices. |

when are we do for another difficulty change?  On Saturday afternoon most probably. Network hashrate dropped significantly today and average between blocks is back up to 9.5 minutes or so. I guess I would be surprised if the diff went up on Sat, but what do I know. You have a good analytical mind - don't put yourself down, K. Of course now the network hashrate is climbing again (it was 140,000 GH/s earlier and now 160,000 GH/s) and time between blocks is down to almost 8.5 minutes. I am curious about the large fluctuations in the total network hashrate. I mean 20,000 GH/s is the size of Slush's entire pool, how does that much compute power come and go so quickly? Its like someone with 40 BFL Mini Rigs is dropping in and out of the network. If I was in charge of $900,000 worth of equipment that generates sooo much that a few seconds down can cost $1000s or $10,000s of dollars, I would make sure as #!&| that the systems didnt go down. there was talk on another thread that ASICminer was turning large numbers of rigs off and on |

Just compiled cgminer 3.3.1 for my pi.
The Blockerupters rerecognised and its mining (sort of).... Is the green light supposed to stay off while mining (on = idle). All my 10 BE mine for a second and then the green LED is on again?
it should blink on occasionly, but be mostly off |

you could get a multi-port USB PCI card and plug USBees into it  The big question then if they would be able to cope with the power draw (Amperage?) from 4 relatively power-hungry devices. Those PCIe cards draw power through motherboard. A miner PCI card could have an external power source. Again, why do you want a computer to be required to mine? (read my posts) Because most of us have a PC in hand? Most people are comfortable with PCs? Yes, if your are buying or setting up a new device i can see using a Pi or similar ARM device, but if you already have the PC you have to figure out how long it would take the Pi's power savings to justify the cost. and, Pi limits your Hub choices. So because I have a coffee pot I should make soup in it? I am suggesting an extremely low power ARM cpu that has more hard block peripheral features than a raspberry pi at 1/10th the cost and far less power consumption. Something you could put on the miner itself, simply plug it into an ethernet switch, telnet into it once and configure it, then it mines on its own provided the network stays up (requirement exists for all systems). Yes you are and I am not arguing the issue. You are just way off topic on this thread. The topic is PCI / PCIe cards, not are there better alternatives to them or if you think the topic is a waste. Personally, for the right price I'd consider PCI Hashers since i have lots of empty PCI slots in computers that are being run constantly for other reasons. |

I read somewhere that the ASICminer blade and Avalon rigs us ethernet and you just connect to them via a specific IP to give them the pool information. My question is, "if the IP is hardwired into them, how do you deal with more than one on the same LAN?" II'm sure that i'm missing something simple.

That is my current plan when i run out of ports. I don't like the idea of plugging Hubs into Hubs, it just doesn't feel right. |

What do you mean "8+"? The Anker one works great.
From what I see of the Anker hub, its only 4A. Correct me of I'm wrong, but that'd only support 8 running simultaneously. The Ankar cheats. it says 4 amps and based on that can't do 9 + fan, but we all know it does. If you read the ankar documentation it says not to exceed 7 amps. I'm guessing that they are combining their 4 amps with the 3 amps that come in from the host system... But i could be wrong. |

lotta spam here guys - there's dedicated forums for all this stuff - no offense meant
yes there is, just like 98% of whats posted in this thread. This thread is a community as well as a slush pool help thread. Just look at the posts about 55 activity for verification. |

You can get overpriced asics and fpgas on ebay.

Other members should not be annoyed by someone with a low hash rate. if you don't tell them they won't even know you exist. Yes you are contributing. you are doing work that someone else would have to do before the block was found. your reward is proportionate with your contribution. Mine On!

just a waste of money not going to the 7870xt for 100mh/s+ each. I have 2 doing 530 and 2 doing 520mh/s where my 7870's are 425 410/410 400. took me 4 loser 7870's to realize the 7870xt was better money! grrr.... I got all the $15 rebate cards and all the game cards for the 7870xt so 250-$15 selling game cards -$15 cyrsis3 -$40 for bioshock/tomb raiders/farcry3 so paid basically $180 for each card. I'm so hungry for them xt's I'm getting them now on amazon. um... just so you know, GPU mining is on its way out except for altcoins. their power consumption is just too high compared to fpga's and asic's. right now, everything is considered over priced because of the rapidly increasing difficulty. if you are trying to make money, look for the most cost effective means, not the quickest to accomplish. you do realize that getting new video cards entails getting/building a new computer. |

Yes thank you. I am so new to mining. I had help setting up my fpga miners "Lancelots"
I wasn't sure I'm learning every day. I am not a programmer or smart.
I am a HS dropout. I grew up with "ADD" so learning is hard for me. I am humbled that there are ppl
Willing to help. TY.. Mining for 3 days now with slush.
it depends on which miner software that you use. but you should be able to add your computer's video card as a miner. If it is nvidia, its not worth it. if it is ATI some will argue that the electricity that it uses costs more than you make. But it can be done. |

WWooHoo!!!! I've finally mined my first full bitcoin to completion. only took me, um... 2 months? well the next one should come quicker. (I hope) *kicks computer* "Hash faster!!"  |

3) Which do you prefer:
3a) ASICMiner sells USB miner for 0.5 BTC. Customer sells it on ebay for $400.
3b) ASICMiner sells USB miner for 1.99 BTC. Customer sells it on ebay for $400.
Ebay prices have dropped quickly after the price cut. Remember not everyone who is ready and willing to buy USB miners has the BTC to do so. Ebay makes an easy way to purchase them with fiat, albeit with a markup. yeah, i'm not willing to bid more than $150 right now. Healthy return for seller, should help ease the pain of getting rid of the last of their inventory after the next price drop. |

I can't help but wonder if the people at Ankar aren't sitting scratching their heads wondering why the sales of 10 port powered USB hubs has risen recently, Good point. AMD execs are also going to be asking why sales of 7950s and 7970s fell off a cliff in the coming months after Ebay is flooded with used Radeon mining cards. Nahh, not yet, viva la rise of the altcoinz... I don't know, even the cgminer devs are mumbling about dropping gpu support like they did CPU mining. |

can anyone explain me something about difficulty..
for example. i have 10 GHps miner, will i have profit of increasing shares difficulty(from 1 to 2 or 4)?
if you increase your difficulty you will cut down on the amount of traffic you send over the Internet and the amount of time the pool has to spend interacting with your miner. The pool will compensate you for the increased difficulty by giving you more shares for each found hash that you return. |
