i bought sidehacks compac sticks for batch 2.
i will be working on porting cgminer-gekko but he said they should already work.
Cross-compiling from another system may be the easiest solution. I had a bit of trouble getting a usb storage device to mount and gave up for the night on building from the device. If you do want to go for it, I suggest using the correct package source. Here's my current opkg config file for reference src/gz barrier_breaker http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages/
src/gz barrier_breaker_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/

MyAntRouter@bitmain.com is a special user ID which is combined with the Btimain's user ID of original buyer who bought this router from Bitmain directlySo what does this mean for group buys? BITMAIN?!  Does that make my user ID not valid?! I don't believe that's what they mean. Enter in your full email address that you use to log in to bitmain/antpool. |

Custom Firmware available!I've delivered my first custom firmware release to existing customers, which can be loaded on new orders upon request. However, please note that loading custom firmware will void all warranties. Custom firmware includes: - Configuration for up to 4 pools with full Bitmain solo mining support. - R1 Frequency and Voltage modulation (Use at your own risk) - Detailed R1 stats page, including pool statistics

Bad News:U3 zombied out after a couple days on the R1. Although it started back up with a cgminer restart and no need to unplug usb. May be an easy scripting solution... Good News:I've added a configuration page for the R1 pools, so changing pools should be a bit easier than manually editing the startup script. I'll work on the R1 stats page tonight.  Few days is not bad. I love the configuration page you added! I can't wait to play with mine. Thanks for doing this group! *Edit I don't see that in thread on R1 unless I'm missing it. How did you add that screen? I had to edit the Luci interface. I'll provide an updated firmware for my customers this week. |

Anyone tested it as a U3 controller? I am really curious how they did with that.
I'm hoping for good things, but not sure what to expect.
My U3 is still running after 18 hrs. I'll update if it zombies out. |

Yes, you definitely need to restart the process, or just reboot the router. Just type in "reboot"

Ok, I decided to play around with one tonight. Tricking the R1 into solo mining on another pool didn't take too long. I also have a U3 plugged in and running at full speed so we'll see how long it stays up...
You'll note that the self contained chip runs under a different instance of cgminer than the U3s, both kicked off by scripts in the /etc/init.d directory. /etc/init.d/cgminer and /etc/init.d/cgminer-u3 respectively.
You can edit the cgminer script, setting the pool user, 3 pools, and comment out the user prefix added to pooluser1 to unleash your R1. Make sure to make a backup and don't blame me if you brick your device!
This tinkering around with it myself now, my solution didn't seem to work though what i did: ssh -> "vi /etc/init.d/cgminer" -> modified "local _pool1url=stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334" then put my bitcoin address in the box on the r1 mining page still trying to find an easy way to make the device act either as a wireless bridge or as a wired access point to my existing wireless network (ie to run a miner in the garage without needing a 50' ethernet cord) ps: i ordered two, got stuck with $21 charge by UPS, and the box they shipped in could have held 12-16 units. actual design is quite solid (could not seem to dissassemble it easily) and it works in a typical north american outlet (might be a loose fit for some receptacles though) There's a line that prepends some data to pooluser1. :R1:somethingsomething:$pooluser1. Comment that line out. You can always check the full commands that are being used for the cgminer instances by running this command: ps | grep cgminer I'm going to play around a little more this weekend. I want to get the internal chip enumerating under the U3 instance so you can easily set the pools. I'm also going to try and get ckpool running on the R1, then solo mine against my own bitcoin instance. |

R1s have arrived!
The boxes are much smaller than I had imagined, so shipping costs should be low. I won't have time to play around with one of the units until this weekend, but I did plug one in without an adapter and it fits snug in my US standard wall outlet.
Since I haven't received the US adapters, I am providing two options for existing orders
1) Ship the R1 free of charge, buyer has the option to buy their own adapter if needed(I don't think they are necessary)
2) Pay R1 shipping costs and receive a free adapter when they arrive.
Future orders will not include the adapter unless specifically requested.

Any update? One in R1 forum said they got theirs today. I hope groups are soon  . They should be with first day order. Yes, I got a call from FedEx today asking what an R1 was so they could relay to customs... I told them it's a WiFi router and they said I should expect delivery tomorrow. Fingers crossed for no further delay and I'll let you guys know when they arrive. On another note, I haven't received my batch of adapters yet. If I don't receive them by the time the R1s come in, I'll ship them at a later date for free. |

Have you received a notification that your bulk order has been shipped yet?
Since people are posting about CrazyGuy, way back I bought a few Block Erupter Cubes from him and everything went smoothly, one had a board die a few months after and he replaced it for free.
Not yet, hope to see them ship out in the next few days. I ordered early on the first day, so we should be at the front of the queue. Sounds great on that! That is why i trusted you with my order. Fronting the bill on first day truly put's your group buy apart from what others do. Thanks for doing this GB! *Edit hopefully soon! The thread had first person claim to have conformation of it shipping. Yes, ours shipped around 2 am this morning. I'll update when they arrive. |

As many said some China recepticals can look like 2 prongs but they are bent to side. Look at top of following picture:  So it really is possible it looks straight for transport and goes to side once opened. I wish the review cybtc did would have covered it. Err. That's an Australian plug. But upside - down. Are you sure it is not? There are many sources showing one going sideways - http://www.chinaspree.com/china-tour-plugs-outlets.htmlJust googling it many pop up. It could be wrong but appears many sites back it. Australia and China actually(Type I). After looking into it further, it seems that China also uses a type A and C, so it could be type A without a wider neutral pin like we have in the US. I'm not sure if this means an R1 with Type A plug wouldn't fit snugly in a US outlet. I guess we'll have to wait to find out. http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/typeI.htm |

I am interested, but would like clarification on the US adaptor. It doesn't appear to be required to run the R1. Does or Will this impact the price?
Adapter is included, although I purchased them from a different source. I do not agree that it will not be required. Shipping will be paid by the buyer, or label provided to me. I am thinking the R1 and adapter will probably fit in a padded priority envelope @$5.25 shipping for US sales. |

looks like a US plug tucked away there at the side...why do we need an extra usa adapter for $1 usd then?
clipped image
its a good question. I actually beleive that you do not need the adapter. look at it: clipped image It looks like it adds a grounding pin, but otherwise serves no purpose (that grounding effect wont transfer to the R1 AFAIK) Is it just me? That plug does not look like it fits that adaptor. It looks like the 2 pins on the R1 flip out (like a lot of wall-wart devices do) and completely compatible with the typical 2-pronged (L,N) 110-120V sockets in North America. The adapter looks to simply convert that to include a grounding pin as per 3-pin (L,N,G) outlets. Only reason you would otherwise use it is if it features a 115->230V converter (which i doubt) I wouldn't bet on it being the US standard. The picture posted shows them folded in and from a bad angle. Chinese Standard prongs are similar to US, they are just angled inwards. Another possibility is that they sent the reviewer a developer unit. If they are selling the R1 with a US adapter, odds are you will need it. |

I didn't order too many but I do think they are interesting devices. My personal use will be extending the wireless range in my home, running some U3s and hopefully tricking it into running a Compac or two. |

This is true, I couldn't get the solder on my cube to liquify. I ended up just scraping off the melted plastic and calling it a day. |

will it be possible to ship these to the Netherlands?
I'll ship to the moon if you pay the shipping fees. |

Shipping is too expensive. Why pay more for shipping than the device actually costs. The ones shipping to US residents should already be in the US and can be shipped out for 5 dollars max.
Definitely need a batch sent to the US for resale here, there is no decent way of buying this in the US currently. I think the price is fair for the unit, for what it is capable of doing, but paying more than the device cost to have it shipped to me just seems wrong. I've got a group buy going: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1197152.msg12563869#msg12563869I'm interested to see how well U3s run using it as a controller... |
