They're cute, and seem quite well designed, but I'm having an awful time actually getting them to mine properly. They work for about a minute, then error out violently, then just sit and do nothing. Even on the hopefully named "v0.7_fix_resetchip_chipdetect" code, they just reset and die in unison. I've tried different power supplies, different cables, different hubs. Any idea what's going on?

eigenlijk is het heel simpel wat ik ga proberen en het zou met elke Pi moeten werken met Debian er op. SSH opzetten naar de Pi en dan http://miningonmyown.com/2013/10/27/manual-cgminer-for-hashbuster/Als er een andere Linux variant op staat zou het theoretisch ook moeten werken, misschien dat sommige commando's net iets anders zijn. Maar uhh... laten we beetje ontopic blijven  Hoe zit het met de animo ? zouden jullie willen bestellen ? en wat zouden jullie een redelijke prijs vinden ? |

zover ik weet is de leverancier bezig met support voor cgminer en bfgminer maar die gasten hebben het natuurlijk ook mega druk. Tot op heden werkt het dus alleen onder linux.
Ik ben bezig met testen op een Raspberry Pi, als dat werkt is het een kleine investering om de boards te laten draaien (en energiezuiniger dan een windows-pc). Op zich zou het geen probleem moeten zijn aangezien je de RPi op Debian Wheezy kan draaien.

Ik wil graag animo checken voor het volgende: Asic Board, 9 Asic chips, Hashrate: 22 - 26 Gh/s, ± 30W verbruik - draait met aanpaste cgminer onder linux (dat is getest en werkt)
- werking onder windows niet gegarandeerd, mag je zelf voor elkaar zien te kijgen geschatte leverdatum (99% zeker): 2e week van november 2013 Update 29-10: nieuws van de leverancier: Currently bfgminer developer is working on a new driver thus hashbusters will be supported soon. Verkoopprijs zal liggen tussen de 1.75 en 1.6 BTC. Voor diegene die hun huidige BTCs in de wallet willen houden kan ook in euro betaald waarschijnlijk. Afhankelijk van de interesse en wat een redelijke verkoopprijs is die de koper zou willen betalen kan ik ze straks wellicht aanbieden. Discussies over terugverdientijden en super stijgende diff graag een beetje beperkt houden, iedereen heeft daar een eigen mening over maar dat is een ander topic. Dit product is kwalitief zeer goed en heeft een leuke hashrate/prijs ratio denk ik. Graag zie ik hier jullie opmerkingen, interesse: zo ja hoeveel stuks tegen welke prijs, etc. Ik ben benieuwd. |

Iedereen denkt anders over aanschaf - minen - roi - toekomst ...
Wat zou je over hebben voor een 20-25 Gh/s miner geleverd in November?
|

Aloha, is al bekend wanneer deze hashbusters standaard ondersteund worden door cgminer?
Ik heb eigenlijk geen zin om Linux te gaan draaien
Nog onbekend. Je kan de Virtualbox image draaien op Windows maar sommige mensen hebben daar wat moeite mee (herkend device niet of hasht maar op 1 Gh/s). |

Edit 2-11-2013: I corrected a type-o git clone https://gitbub.com/signal11/hidapi correct command:git clone https://github.com/signal11/hidapiI made a small manual how to get the modified version of cgminer working on linux with the hashbuster. This should work, I tested it on a Debian machine. If you find any mistakes/faults please let me know, thanks. http://miningonmyown.com/2013/10/27/manual-cgminer-for-hashbuster/*********************************************************************
Simple manual how to install a modified version of cgminer on Linux
to get it working with Hashbuster (Nano) devices
Sales and info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293668.60
Big thanks to forummembers XBOTC and Gades
Tested on Debian 7.2 , logged in as root.
You can find more info, tests, pictures and stuff on my website:
http://www.miningonmyown.com
Remarks/info starts with **
other lines are commands
*********************************************************************
** Open a terminal window
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
** if GIT is not installed on your system, install it:
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install autoconf yasm pkg-config make libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-1.0-0 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install electric-fence dh-autoreconf
git clone https://github.com/signal11/hidapi
cd hidapi
./bootstrap
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..
ldconfig
** download latest version modified version of cgminer for hashbuster nano
** https://www.dropbox.com/s/003olbqnrs4hc94/v0.8_display_clockbits.tar.bz2
** unpack file, a directory named v0.8_display_clockbits will be made,
** rename directory for more logical name.
mv v0.8_display_clockbits cgminer-hb
cd cgminer-hb
./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --disable-bitforce --disable-icarus --disable-modminer --disable-ztex --disable-scrypt --enable-bitfury
sudo make
sudo make install
** now a working version of cgminer 3.5.1 for Hashbuster Nano is made
** and should be working. Command to run cgminer:
./cgminer

Question for XBOCT: did you just run cgminer or did you use special setting?
My version of cgminer uses clock auto selection in range default+1 -- default-1 Default clock value can be found in driver-bitfury.c: "#define BITFURY_DEFAULT_CLOCKBITS ..." Internal clock generator is voltage dependent, so optimal clock value is in the range 53-54 for 0.9V or 51-53 for 1.1V. Try to play with default clock value in source code or by command line (note: double '=' in command line): cgminer --bitfury-clockbits==52 I added the options –bitfury-clockbits==52 to cgminer and it starts hashing @ 3 Gh/s I looked at it for 5 minutes and it stayed at 3. This sundaymorning I took a look again: back 2.7   cgminer sometimes gives the message: Frequency (55) not changed for chip 0Looks like cgminer loses it’s 52 clockbit setting and automaticly switches back to some default, 55 in this case. Next mission: investigate and modify the driver-bitfury.c Update 10:00h: just modified driver-bitfury.c set clockbit to 52. Let's see how it goes now Update 12:40h: looking good so far, 3 Gh/s  Update 19:00h: stable and 3+ Gh/s  |

Too bad that why I left windows and started using Linux and OSX. I have OSX..everything is OSX here, but had a small pc down under in the basement for the usb erupters. Should it work under OSX also? I think so... OSX = Unix . If I have the time tommorow evening or monday I will test it. Next week I will also test with a raspberry pi with debian wheezy. A Raspberry Pi you can buy voor 40 euro... |

Did some experiments with one Hashbuster Nano to boost up the hashrate. Thanks XBOCT for the info. First an extra heatsink:     I did several tests with the board: 0.981 V -> hashrate: 2.5 – 2.6 Gh/s = stock / unmodified 1.025 V -> hashrate: 2.6 – 2.7 Gh/s = test run #1 1.050 V -> hashrate: 2.7 – 2.9 Gh/s = test run #2 1.124 V -> hashrate: 2.9 – 3.07 Gh/s = test run #3 going nuts What the maximum voltage is for the ASIC-chip I don’t know, I have to find out later. Have the guts to nuts and just do some crazy experiments. Now it's running @ 1.124V @ ±3.06 Gh/s Let see tommorow morning if it still runs and what the average hashrate will be.  sorry for the crapy picture (bad light in the garage and no flash  Full review: click hereQuestion for XBOCT: did you just run cgminer or did you use special setting? |

Very weird, i can't get it to work anymore. I had one which denied work, but i have this settled now, the cable i used was bad i guess, bought a new one and it is working. But i have connected all 10 devices to the virtualbox image, and no matter what, it always sees 7 of them and the other 3 are not recognized. Very irritating. EDIT: trying out VMware now with fresh install Ubuntu..will let know Still not working, leep getting this all the time:  EDIT2: Hmm, watch out with virtualbox, you are only permitted to use 7 usb devices. That is my problem. EDIT3: That ain't working at all. Even with 7 devices connected it runs like shit. They hash with 1Ghash per unit, so virtualbox is just a limitation. Guess i have to install Debian on my pc Too bad that why I left windows and started using Linux and OSX. If you want to keep your Windows, try to install Ubuntu next to your Windows. Or... the best way, take another harddrive and install Debian or Ubuntu. My experimental-test-pc runs Debian without a problem, LDXE is a nice and simple GUI |

Does anybody know how much current one of those miners draws at 5V? If it's below 500mA maybe you can power it by usb ...
They are powered with 12V |

Your tower kicks ass !
You must use a voltage meter to check the voltage, see the pic from XBOCT how to measure

Big thanks for the pics and info. I think I am going to experiment with 1 board this weekend.

Thanks for your tip, but one question about it
What do you mean by a protective layer on the opposite side of card "behid chip" ? Is there are plastic something/sticker between the heatsink and chip? I assumed they use a special (cooling)paste to keep the heatsink attached to the chip, not some kind of sticker.
I scraped off green protective coating at small square and glowed heatsink by 3M Thermal Heatsink Tape. I think that my heatsink is too BIG for this card but i don't have smaller one   did you attach the (extra) heatsink because overclocked the board? if so, how did you do that? hardware mod? voltage setting on the board? software tweak? What hashrate do they run? just curious |

I see heatsink at the chip. If you want to increase the voltage and hashrate more, then I recommend to remove a protective layer on the opposite side of card "behid chip" and put another heatsink. I think it's more important than the heatsink on the plastic body of chip. my 3 "old" board have a heatsink atthe chip, the 7 new board don't have a heatsink. For now I won't modify these boards. Maybe I order an extra spare one to experiment with. Thanks for your tip, but one question about it What do you mean by a protective layer on the opposite side of card "behid chip" ?

I will check it this evening. |

pcb 8cm? Zijn die spacers 40mm dan? Want je hebt er twee tussen elk kaartje zitten toch zag ik?
Ik weet de lengte van 1 spacer zo niet uit mijn hoofd, als ik de foto zo bekijk zie ik ongeveer 7 spacers op 10cm (breedte fan). In pricipe maakt de afstand tussen de pcbtjes niet zoveel uit, als het maar genoeg ruimte tussen voor een beetje goede airflow. Als je echt wil weten dan meet ik vanavond wel effe |
