New board with the same controller? How do you address that Bitfury and Bitmain chips use different comm protocols? I guess you have a translator chip on your board? How do you handle that S5 chipped with two different controllers - 18 pin and 16 pin? Does your board have both connectors just in case?
When you say 550W, is that power dissipation of the boards themselves or is that total machine power (including controller and fan, about 30W total) or is that wall power (and if so, assuming what PSU efficiency)? 550W wall at 90% efficient PSU and 30W in fan and controller leaves around 460W for the chips, which for 5TH puts you at about 30 chips per board and clocked to 85GH per chip (for about 0.094J/GH chip-level) assuming no power conversion. Of course, 30 chips per board gives you probably a string of 2x15, meaning 800mV per chip which, for these chips, probably means you're sorely overvolting it (that operating point is more likely hit at closer to 600mV). So you need a voltage drop in there - best case another 5% efficiency hit. So now we're looking at about 435W to the chips for 5TH - let's say 32 chips per board, clocked a bit shy of 80GH for 0.088J/GH (approximately). So 32 chips, and a 40-50A regulator, and either a darn good microcontroller or an FPGA to convert Bitmain protocol (coming in through one of two connectors) to something Bitfury talks, and Bitfury's comm multiplexer. Let's see a render of that, instead of a cheesy copy of someone else's cheesy concept render. Or better yet, some proof of actual dev.
I love this guy....I bend in the dust for Sidehack...kaboom and smashed up against the wall he was by Sidehacks points. I wondering when side would shot this down . lmao |

Don't forget the new script miner coming there gonna be pretty bad ass .
They may not be direct bitcoin miners but are bitcoin miners non the less they just do it a different way and should be included in with any new hard ware coming .
he left out
Innosilicon they make both miners direct bit coin miners and in direct ones aka script miners. sense bw aka lk makes there own chips now .

hm, interesting to see this BW also provides a convenient and efficient way for users to mine BTC, LTC and DOGE on our mining pool, an interest wallet for customers to store their capital with stable income and hash investments all on an open and transparent platform. slush pool is about to add some kind of direct script mining to it's pool and make it so we can cash in our own alt coins mined there . or do the same as bw does. all right here https://slushpool.com/devcorner/exciting afford able stuff coming it looks like. with these new and improved miners coming it's going to be fun to see price wars etc. we need it. I made account on BW site months ago i could never login into till now . This is actually not to bad we get interest from what i see on our BTC and LTC and other coin once you set it up and it doesn't have to be a set a mount, so far it looks like . so I'll mine and let it set and hope they keep going and build interest. |

whats gonna be nice if it all falls in line we will finally have 4 big makers of miners to pick form, prices should come down a lot, we should have our pick of what size we want to buy or can afford etc and still make out good, if it all works out like they claim time will tell.
Avalon
Bitmian
bitfury
BW aka LK.
if it all happens and they all keep selling to the public after it happens, i see a very bright and nice time for all .

if im not mistaken wasn't www.miner.bz under a different name once, miner, something else that ripped off some others . I can wait !!! . 30 some days is not really that long. |

if sidehack makes a board that uses old S5 parts not the boards on newly designed boards with bitfury or BW chips yup . replacing the chips on a S5 board no.the way he said it , it sounds like he wants to do just that. it might be do able but why it's gotta be hard or Polly will be, i would think that's like putting something new on something old it might make it worse..in this case chips are different then screwing a new board on a old heat sink or using the old controller .
why even bro with the s5 controller way it won't really save us any cash , maybe him but not us.
The whole upgrade idea is nice thu but the way he wants to upgrade doesn't seem to cool.
I'm not buying into this junk we have what one more month left to wait to see what really happens.

The trouble with Amazon or Ebay is returns. You have a LOT more liability then selling on forums. On forums great thing is most likely person knows how to mine, so no teaching. And I LOVE to teach mining, just not a ton in a row when I'm getting rid of previous gen. Also on forum you get cash without a cut taken out.
If I don't sell for fair price on forum I then go to ebay. And I do keep in mine ebay fee's and paypal add up, they double dip with taking too fee's. The crazy thing is they also take fees out of shipping price on Ebay, as some abused it when it had no fee's. So I have to markup shipping to break even.
On ebay I put up a Buy It Now, that is high for the item. This allows for offers to come in to me and I can pick someone with good feedback. I hate selling to new users.
They do in deed double dip or charge a fee for a fee, same thing to me as double dipping . and there so called discounts they get back in other ways they don't lose a thing after my last S5 sells there not again I couldn't believe some of the uness fees they charged me . btw the Avalon 4.1's i bought off the forums is mining a way i wish i had bought them back then , i Burt up a breakout board over clocking it to much unless somethng was wrong with that board which i doubt i missed used it by oc to high , those Avalon 4.1's are beasts. saving for a A6 now , i want one just to see how far i can push it. |

ethertum is a gpu based mining.
So install minera on your linux based computer (ubuntu)
Then you have two possibility:
-put your miner in custom folder and use minera to control the miner in local mode
-use api-allow and use minera with network miner Survey...
I haven't test is yet but I think it will works
it will work the same way on a pi all hes has to do is compile it on the pi in either the home,root, tmp and OR opt folders, then use the CP command and copy it to the custom folder minera uses then loud in minera and use the custom folder setting just above the main miner setting in the UI> as for adding coins minera doesn't need a coin added to make it work from what i see, just the right software miner for that hard ware miner. it's not a pool . as long as the miner doesn't have it own built in controller like antminers he can run any hard ware miner he wants with minera that needs a external controller , it just takes a little work. i have a Avalon 4.1 running on minera or had , i like Avalon's software more for pi's. |

Hashrate: 9,971.46 Th/s Round Time: 61:53:49 Round Shares: 529885125136 Round Luck: 27.2% It is insane  ((((( Yes, we need more hashrate. The difficulty is skyrocketing and we are still at <10PH ...and of course bad luck Sense 2016-02-12 15:22:28, I'm gonna hang in there for now . when we do hit thu we usually hit 2 to 3 at once for two three waves i think . but it's really slow right now. |

I bought a 4.1 last week for 149 us in btc shipping paid . waiting for it to get here on Thursday according to ups. kind of why I asked you what I did in a PM but then i found my answer a few hours later .  .if you do happen to break up the set i see it in time i might buy one . right now, I'm saving coins in hopes of getting 2 or 3 of the 16 nm ones if one ever comes to light . but for now I need something to do and pay cash for cheap ones then mine with them , it gives me something to do sense, I'm disabled and i can't stand up long etc. cya Yea I am probley going to sell this one as a set. Just is easier they have been a set since they were bought long ago. Also makes it where it has the RPI that comes with it. On this forum it's not a big deal, but on ebay selling one without a RPI set up can be trouble as it seems to have more new miners. Lowered to as low as I hopefully have to .... 385 shipped for 3. Your getting Avalon 4.1 x 3 for the price almost of S3's. It's still on ebay. Only looking at US as don't really want to ship this big box out of US. Also don't want to mess with customs for so little. - http://cgi5.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dllI saw it on Ebay , i hate buying out side the US any way not because of shipping, a lone it's just a pain and takes to long most of the time ..That is a nice price for sure. I just don't have that in cash right now and won' t cash in my coins or use them. I have one coming like i said and Polly looking to buy another one next month they should be good till July at least . Cya . cya |

Is there a solid proof that they destroyed those due to difficulty? It's kinda hard to take in since they could have at least sell it to those who invest on old miners for fun even though they wont get any ROI. The only reason I'm seeing here is as if they were all non working unless the owner have some sort of psycho  Honestly, i think it was junk non-working gear or he was trolling or needed to post something (psycho problems), i would have donated it or tried to sell it first if it was working gear. if it all worked that was maybe 300 $ bucks worth of gear . |

I'm trying to buy the breakout board, but I don't know where. Please help  if you can't catch then try this site if you live in the US !!! he sells the same boards , some you may have to ask for, he may not have listed. http://holybitcoin.com/ |

I don't know why you can't do that only problem i see it finding some one that will sell us some space and we need some one that is willing to design a chip etc .in a few month's i should have a few bitcoins saved up won't be much but some thing and would be willing to invest them in some thing worth while, instead of buying a outdated miner the way it's benign to look.
I'm sure a few others would, just to keep miners in the home etc .

So all a sha256 miners chip is doing in this case unless you have big bucks is riding on the shirt tails of a much bigger thing . like Intel or AMD ? . bitfury, didn't make the 16 nm design, i know, that's was more like Intel or Samsung etc . TSMC etc . What is bitfury actually paying if that is true and how bad are they sticking it to us if they do sell to the public ? . later i need to let it go . |

it could have been non working gear .
Even the PSU are the cheap ones, no offense intended, side but those PSU look like the cheap ones. These is not much there of value he or she broke or destroyed, in rage .
it may be a troll like jstefanop said .

No C1s there, but several of those are S3s. They've got the bracket that lays the controller horizontally between the two hashing boards.
I noticed no C1 after I posted that unless he air cooled them and used the box for S5 Water cooling but did anyone notice nothing above that ? . maybe a s2 board or 2 ?. S3 upgrades. |
