Finlay - Build two instances one for HEX boards (enable hex boards only) one for whatever you want not patched and run them simultaneously - two instances. USBPOOLING is disabled (commented out and thread will never start) and there is a big chance bfl not to work if it uses cancelable USB transfers and so on

That's it, there is no driver for HEX16B on patch for cgminer 3.6.4. It's was available from version 3.8.1  Where did you find that? I can only find the patch for 3.6.4 in the Downloads section in technobit.eu website. I guess the newer patch is hidden somewhere. Hint to build patched cgminer use ./autogen.sh
hmm. autogen.sh was not part of the tar file I downloaded. I guess I have to download cgminer from git. I wasted so much time (each compile/make takes my control PC about an hour) just because I could not find proper instructions... Same here all us wasting time dude for free you know it right? All the info is here and there in the forums. You are on your own from now on. Good Luck.... If i was you i would go with tp-link it will pay you off from electricity savings just for a month |

I received my HEX16B boards, but cannot make cgminer detect them. Linux detects them as ttyACM0 to 2
Here's what I did:
1. Download cgminer 3.6.4 and the patch for it from technobit.eu
2. applied the patch, it was successful.
3. ./configure --enable-bflsc --enable-hexminer
4. make && make install
5. ran cgminer - it detected my Single, but did not detect the HEX boards.
6. saw that the patch did not patch the configure script, so I edited the config.h to add #define USE_HEXMINER 1
7. ran make - linking failed.
8. I edited the Makefile, copied all lines containing driver-bflsc and changed that to driver-hexminer
9. ran make && make install - this time it went OK.
10. ran cgminer - the boards are still not detected.
Does anyone have the complete source for cgminer that I could compile or just the i486 binaries for Debian7?
It will never work that way. What you need to do is to run two instances of cgminer. One Patched for HEX boards (only hex borads enabled) - use latest and one original version for the rest. The main reason for that is that some of the USB original code is completely disabled like usbpooling and other stuff. Please read the changelog Hint to build patched cgminer use ./autogen.sh |

Great work.Today I tested your cgminer 3.8.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 using my recently purchased HEX16A2 and it really works fine. It could be great, if you could build a "Windows" version of cgminer that supports HEX16A/A2/B boards. In fact, I have been forced to move my HEX16A2 board on a Ubuntu 12.04 x64 machine with your cgminer 3.8.4, due to the fact HexMiner 1.0.0.3 for Windows was too unstable. That is why tplink exists. You can try it and you will see how good it works . 200w of electricity savings will pay pout the tplink for a month or two. More over woithproper hub 10-15 boardas are not a problem |

By the rules yes. Mine cables are in various colors depending of the wire color sold to me:) In my HEXA boards i am using 1.5mm wires in various colors because the stores always did not have yellow in stock What i can tell you that from Zich photo i see he knows whta to do and how tick wires to use  I miss the ripped off PSU part in his photo only  What i do is to chose a single rail psu. Then all the connectors eps and pci and whatever is useful yellow and black are cut and so on Zich knows the story. Before doing that i was always having melted wires and shit. So i do not care about PSU anymore....It will be always in my possession for ever NOooooooo It's too embarrassing to show you the ripped off PSU part Do your homework Zich My noname Multimeter shows 4.8A/12V at 900/54. 0.75mm wire may be little bit thin it will not melt for sure but i feel you are same like me Ps: The only reason i am using 1.5mm for HEX16A (9A+/12V) but not 2+ mm as i should is because i can not stick 2 mm in the connectors  |

Nice Work  Thank you! |

Be carefull when tighten or loosen the terminal screw since there is 1 capacitor closed.  Why is the 12v+ blue in this picture, shouldn't it be yellow?  By the rules yes.

That datasheet is extremely limited. Do you have a timeline on an updated on with information on the communications protocol and register descriptions, as well as the firmware for the control board?
Agreed; the datasheet will need a little more detail for us DIYers. +1 |

Hmm
awfull pricing comparing my project
the wafer cost is 3k,with aprox 3k chips so their cost price is aprox 10k
and noone is interested in participating in my 65 nm at cost price
crazy folks
Because it is not open source dude. your business model is not much different than Asic one. You get the technology with our money invested we eventually get good praise from today point's of view and we are going probably to loose our investments from tomorrow point of view who said it s not opensource? i ve uploaded all the needed files for the pcb and else Yeah like avalon competition for Open source PCB I can get the pcb and have the schematics. What i want to have is the PIC software. Have you seen a single participant who uploaded his software in competition - NO i gues same as me. The open source is Klondike project only and nothing else from my point of view. - Speaking of The ASIC excuse my competence BUT what i mean like open source is you to publish all asic Related Files which are needed for us so that no matter how stupid we are when we go to Fabric and say for instance i wanna have this chip they to be able to produce it. Did you understand what i am up to. But you stated that this aint gona happen if I remember correctly right? So you think he is going to give you access to gds and the mask? hmm please confirm with them as i would be interested also if this is the case No he want of course but the difference is 1. He invested own money or at least not collected from community 2. He does not claim that he is open source he is here for the businesses. No doubt about that 3. The magic word open source means nothing anymore Can I ask you if you claim to be open why you are not giving your mask and GDS and mask to the community I know do not answer it is NDA shit or you paid cheaper to cut the costs or million reasons which has nothing to do with opensource and most probably is a bulshit |

Hello. Where can I download firmware for Hex16A2? Thanks!
Nowhere. If you are interested you can download tplink oprenwrt build including cgminer patch |

Hi Ioshia, I understand about 10-port USB hub, but the device on technobit site looks like an USB hub too??!! I've tried to order that thing there on technobit site, but it looks like an usb hub, so I don't know if that is what I need to produce Bitcois...!? Also, please let me know how much GH/s you get with one of those things? http://technobit.eu/img/p/8/8/88-thickbox_default.jpgSorry to disturb you and Thanks for answering. Hey, The picture posted is not a miner. It connects your miner via USB to Btc network. This device produces 0 btc. You have to look for assambled board with chips included. This device produces coins not the tplink |

Thanks guys - so when I get this TP Link router thing, does it connect into my miner then both these gets connected to my PSU?
If you buy TPLINK TL-MR3020 from Techno BTCit then it's already flashed with openwrt image that include cgminer on it. If you buy TPLINK TL-MR3020 locally from your favorite computer shop then you need to flash the original firmware with linux base image openwrt which available on techno BTCit website. Like loshia said, the TPLINK TL-MR3020 will act like "computer" with cgminer run in it. And it work standalone just like computer so you will save electricity cost. If you still had something to ask you can ask here or PM, me & loshia will happily answer your question Yeah..And it will safe a lot of headaches, time and nerves..And finally money.. I bought the tplink as recommended but am not sure what it actually does I guess i will just use hexminer - is it easy to use ? Would i just type the ip in my browser to configure the miner then the miner will autoboot and start mining when it goes online? Yes that should be enough and it uses cgminer. No worries you will not regret |

I am interested in getting in on this one. I don't need raw chips though. I need an organized buy of a product that I can plug in and hash with :-)
+1 That is what we all need |

I plan to organise a WORLDWIDE group buy for Bitmain BM1380 chip.
This post will be updated with pricing etc.
Who would be interested in this and what kind of chip amount would you be wanting to buy?
I am looking to pledge 1000 chips to get the buy started.
The sample chips will be sent to developers so they can work on a open source design.
The lead time from when we make the order would be 6-7 weeks.
I am just trying to figure out the interest right now.
Further plans after buying chiips 1. When they will get delivered 2. BOM Cost 3. PCB production 4. And so on? Yes i am already talking with EE who can design a open source board the works with the Bitmain chips. PCB production we can organise if people are interested in that? The EE is just waiting for the github to be updated with the necessary information. 10X That is enough for me good luck! |

I know how much hate is accumulated against Avalon team. I am not advocating for them here but so far they get delivered their AVALON2 chips without any delays from stock according to this forum. But what i can tell you is that:
Avalon batch 2 chips are available for immediate delivery at 6 btc per 500 chips - 20% above compared to this offer with almost 13 times less investment. And they get delivered in day or two. There is a reference design for Avalon 2 + technobit and probably others with working product so time to market for ready to mine products will be 10 - 15 days max (if all is going well without delays) compared to 2-3 months with this chips
So Profit (IF ANY AT ALL) will be bigger with avalon2 compared to this offer
For me this chip at that price of 100 Btc with unclear feature is looser definitely.
Luck to all of you.
Best
BM1380 can hash at 2.8GH/s, 86% faster than an Avalon2, and consume much less power(1.3J/GH vs 2.5J/GH), which will lower the cost for AC/DC power supply and DC/DC module. Yeahhh It remembers me the days when i got my AVALON batch 1 unit. And BFL folks who still are waiting for their orders were crying we will blast you away because of the power. It turned out that with just a day of mining i paid for the electricity for whole year. What i am tiring to say what matters most is time to market for me. But this whole story is leading us to nowhere just spending money FOR NOTHING and that is all I wish you luck with this power efficiency after 3 mounts. all the goup buys drama, the technical delays which are going to happen for sure, the chinese new year and good knows what else Best I am not mentioning the fact that " the cost for AC/DC power supply and DC/DC module" is the last thing one should be thinking of compared to highly overpriced ASICS themselves spending a bug or two even ten for Power supply is an miserable expense |

Didn't H-cards used to be priced at $500? [WTB] BitFury H-Cards for V1.0 M-Board. Currently have a starter kit with 3 cards totaling 52 GH/s. But would like to add to it.
Not willing to buy at current Megabigpower.com rate of $500 for 25Gh/s. Way over priced.
Yeah... and then the price of bitcoin rose 700%. Yeah... and then the difficulty of bitcoin mining rose 1000%, so shouldn't the price be $350 now? Greed is right. Isn't it enough buzzdave have made and is still making crap loads of money on self-mining. Does he really need a few more millions $650,000 ($1000 - $350 fair price = $650 x 1000 boards) from price gouging smaller independent miners just as Avalon/ASICMiner did? Look where are Avalon and ASICMiner now? Who the F..K cares dude:) A word about avlon - Gen2 chips are avalable for immediate delivery. If all is done right there might be working product based on gen2 chip for 10 days max. I am not good at math, but for sure investing in AVALON2 will cut your losses we are not talking for profits at all. Not anymore If i were Avalon or ASICMiner i wouldnt touch a computer for the rest of my life Sad but true.... Anyway Good luck to Dave and his customers |
