I have several. They are great units. Easy to use and fun as well. They are stable and run the best using MultiMiner with the BFGMiner dualminer pre-release. I even did a review of them you can see here. http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/dualminer-sha-256-scrypt-usb-miner/2014/02/26The people from DualMiner are great to talk to and very responsive if you have questions. I hope this helps you out. Happy Mining. Anyone using this, Is this miner a good buy

English is my first language. I just missed the reference the first time I get it now. LOL I never used anything so I am a bit slow when it comes to referring to that stuff. I am not suggesting that any sh*t is any cleaner. I do have a question because I have never tried any of the good sh*t. What about the good sh*t makes you like it? (Good shit has more than one meaning in case you don't know, or English is your second language)
Are you suggesting bad shit is cleaner/better?

That is great. I don't even know how to get them graded like that. Still a good grade for the first one. They are excellent coins. He really does a good job with them. Thanks for sharing. Now the trick question is how much are you going to sell it for? I proudly announce the(probably) first ANACS graded Microsoul coin:
Honestly expected it to be graded higher, I assume the grader had a bad day :-D

Everybody Poops. Why would you prefer the good sh*t though? Isn't that gross to handle? It might be bathroom humor, do you want to know more still?
Poop is always poop, is it not? I prefer the good sh^t, how about you?  |

Yes I have. Payouts are once per month. A very good writing team to work with. So you've actually gotten paid? How often?

That is great news Ben. I am excited for BFGMiner and MultiMiner support.\ I hope you are doing well. We have decided to donate two 3xDIY1 sets to both main developers of bitcoin mining software.
Due to their geographical location, one has already received it, the other will receive it next week.

I will get those videos linked into the article for you when I get home. Between flights right now. Looks great guys. I went to check out Noncetech's beta miners in Helsinki today, generally speaking I liked what I saw, I admit I'm not a Bitcoin miner expert but I have some general knowledge about electronics and Bitcoin mining. I started mining scrypt coins about a year ago and I have read a lot of articles about Bitcon mining and mining hardware in the last year. I would say I have pretty good picture about Bitcoin mining in general.
The whole team was there, the coder, hardware guy and the economics guy, everyone seemed to know their stuff pretty well. Also one of the guys has a Chinese origin and speaks Chinese which I would say is a good advantage when you do business with Chinese subcontractors, for the assembly of the miners and so on. All the guys were friendly and in my opinion "down to earth" and none of them were full of themselves. Well that may yet change when they get filthy rich selling all those miners to us, I noticed money can do strange things to good people, I just hope they get rich, and don't turn into the dark side after that... I liked their team and wouldn't mind doing business with them.
They set up 2 miners at the occasion, one was their first test miner the other was one of the "beta" miners. The hardware setup seemed quite basic, just plug in the cables and boot the RasPi, the software side was not not yet that simple, their drivers for cgminer was not yet completely finished, so they needed to manually input some commands ( setting the voltage to the chips ) to the RasPi before starting cgminer.
Their web interface for the miner was not yet finished, so I just got a look at the page layout for the interface. The driver part that controls the fan speed on the miner was not yet fully programmed so the fans were on full speed all the time, and those small fans are quite noisy.
The miners was running in "Turbo" mode hashing around 250GH/s or more correctly they showed in cgminer as 2 x 125GH/s per card, 2 hashing blocks per card. One miner showed a little more HW errors than the others, that was the original first test miner the built, on the "Beta" miners they had made some hardware modifications on the Pcb, and it had less HW errors or none. We calculated the percentage of the HW errors on the original test miner, but stupid me cant remember the exact number, but it was low. As a scrypt miner with Gpu's I'm used to 0 HW errors, if I have HW errors I re tune my rigs so they go away, I was assured that Bitcoin mining with Asic's will produce some HW errors and thats normal.
The components on the Pcb's are of high quality, all critical components are made in USA or Japan, this is for stability and long life of the miner, I agree with the choice for a little more expensive components, as for me a miner has to be production grade, I don't have time to baby sit my miners, they should work 24/7/365.
One thing that I didn't get to see in the 3h visit I made to Noncetech is the chassis for the miners, they have not yet got that from the producer. Well I of course wonder how hot will the chassis get on the inside, with 4 cards running in "Turbo" mode producing 1000w of heat, and 2x120mm fans to get that heat out from there.
I'm no expert, but I don't see any major issues with Noncetech getting their miner shipped within a reasonable time after the Pre-orders start, there is some coding to do, but I would say that the coding is not a big issue. I was told that they have the "assembly line" all ready arranged with a Chinese subcontractor, and they are going to China to oversee the assembly and shipping of the miners. One thing that comes to mind is the chassis, if it needs total redesign, that could cause a small delay. Another thing that they have not done yet is a long term stress test, running a miner more than a day or two, now that I think of it, I should have volunteered to do a 3 week stress test on some of their miners, I'm sure my scrypt rigs wouldn't mind the noise in the garage...
Ok, I wont bore you guys any more today..
Best of luck to Noncetech launch today
Thank you for visiting and writing about us! You forgot to mention the coffee and cookies! Here are some comments to your post: We have been running beta cards for about a week now without problems, however we have had to take the setup down to do some hardware and software updates. About the chassis: we have been working with our chassis supplier and cooling systems subcontractor. The cooling inside the chassis is set up so that the mining card coolers are constantly pushing out the hot air and the frontal fans are there only to supply fresh air. The chassis should not be a problem with overheating. The user interface is indeed still under development, but it is almost finished (1 or 2 days left). The communication with cgminer will use the standard cgminer API connection, thus it should also work with other cgminer monitor softwares. In other news, here are the videos: Simulating Sampo 1T with beta cardshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exvXD2K9vNADIY overview for the mining cardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctam5lk_xKQ |

I know they have posted about it I just wanted to provide the live link the the cryptocoinsnews article about their ordering going live. They are great guys it has been a pleasure to interview Antti and to see their progress. They are also giving out a discount as outlined in my article. I hope you all enjoy and Happy Mining. Congrats Noncetech. On 3/29/14, I had posted an interview with Antti of Noncetech in which I asked pressing questions about their business, their miners, and their impending sales launch.
Antti and his team let me know today that all their hard work and long nights had finally paid off: They are announcing their official sales launch today.
I have been excited about their miners and even more excited to see them go live. That their production and distribution is ready to go is excellent news considering so many of the big companies are not following through on their delivery promises. http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/noncetech-announces-official-miner-sales-launch/2014/04/09 |

That is great to hear. They offered to have me come over I cannot handle the trip until maybe after my surgery. They have been very open about their work. I am impressed.

That is really cool. It has been nuts to think just a month or so ago it was under 5000. The growth is crazy huge. Since I haven't posted this for a while and we do have some new guild mates. Would be a lot easier if Theymos allowed images in sigs... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want a sig like mine for your BTC Guild stats, then check out this post !  |

Excellent. I will add that there. Great guide site by the way.  Very cool. Can I put a link to it in my article for new users to have a quick link? Sure There's a prettier version now up at dogiecoin.com. |

I was there both days. I was doing a lot of interviews. It was generally positive and fun. People were great and it was nice to talk to others about bitcoin. Anyone here at this conference?
What's the main buzz going around?

It is an excellent thing that it goes on. Are you interested in how long it goes on after we are all gone? Why does it have to end at all? So we are ending this thread now or we live in shame?
NO, thread must go on? It is a good thing that thread continues, is it not? |

Just to address the issues you brought up. Normally my articles are not like that. This was literally done at 4 am. I also had to have someone else edit the article as I was unable to at 4 am. I normally do it all myself. We also have grammar software that makes it's own changes that can mess up sentence structure such as how it eliminated words to hose up the sentence about rough handling during shipping not being in Bitmains control. I appreciate your input and take it constructively. BeagleBone Black is what I had written but for some reason it kept reverting due to the grammar check. I thought it had been fixed and it was missed when my editor looked it over too. I feel quite silly that it still ended up misspelled. I own one of them. LOL Thanks again. The article does look better now though as I was able to manually fix the issues when I got up. Have a great week. It's BeagleBone Black. It's NOT Beagleboneback.  It's nice to see someone posting an article without bothering to proofread, or learning to spell: They rest is the rough handling the units take during shipping and out of their control. What? Yeah, 5/10, must try harder. |

Ok so the first time I posted a whole article I was bitched at for spamming and they deleted the whole thing. So then I posted a bit of info with my links and that worked well. The previous one to this you asked me to stop that. There is not mid ground on this place. I don't know what you want. Several of my last posts like this were to start a discussion here and they did just that like my IRS petition thread. I spent 20 mins today defending you today to a troll who supports BFL Josh's trolling of bitcointalk and you personally. He thought it is funny that he could win a piece of BFL vaporware for trolling. I have always felt you dealt with your guides, reviews and advice in professional manner. I respect your opinion and advice immensely. The way you handle your manufacture trust rankings is well thought out and maintained. That is the big beef the trolls at BFL has with you, you posted the truth and made him look bad. I will post the content here on the next article but if it gets deleted again what do you suggest I do? Stop doing the same thing! Either put content here or dont post, but there's no point posting a topic with a hyperlink to your own content elsewhere.
