I've been quite happy with the Lepa G1200 (and, presumably, the G1600) for powering my cubes.  The G1200 runs 3 with no trouble at all, no issues with startup surge, and I'm quite confident it would run another one or two cubes as well.  They're expensive PSUs, but JonnyGuru approved, and quite efficient (peaking over 90% efficiency at about a half load, which is part of why I have such a large one).

 My take is that that power supply is right on the bottom edge of acceptable, if over clocked it will be running at 100% capacity on one 12v rail.

If you already have it, I would try it, if not, I would spend the few extra dollars and get a bigger one.

My little bitcoin has arrived. Cara Michelle Biomech came into the world at 13:13 today, 7lbs 8 oz. We are still at the hospital, but mama and baby are doing fine.

Fastest USB miner at this moment:

I'm running an experiment where I'm going to need people to send me as many bitcoins as possible.  Results will be published in the American Sociological Review.

Wives are the single biggest drag on the global hash speed.

I find myself coming to the forum just to see what starman22 is up to.

Hmm, maybe the experiment was to see how long till donors get pissed off?

It works great with Cubes, Blades, MinePeon, etc. I have a Cube pointed at the Proxy in MultiMiner and it works well with minimal setup.

That said, I would seriously consider before purchasing a Cube. The Cube is based on 1st generation ASICMINER chips that are nowhere near as power efficient as newer chips. They basically go:

Avalon -> ASICMINER -> BFL -> Bitfury -> BITMAIN

That is just a rough idea. So what you are talking about doing is essentially purchasing ASIC equipment that is several generations behind.

That said they do work very well, they are very simple to setup (they do require a PSU). But if you are looking for something like that and can spend more I'd recommend an AntMiner S1. They can run at about 210 Gh/s easily, they ship very quickly, and they have a similar setup to the Cube (with a nicer web UI).

Note that right now the S1 does not work with bfgminer or MultiMiner as a proxy as it has an older version of cgminer built in with a known bug that has since been addressed.

I'm also seeing posts about running BFGminer for certain miners and CGminer for others. The reason I started with BFGminer was because I read an article on how to start mining with the Red Fury I just received. Now I started looking into picking up an AntMiner U1 and it looks like they're only supported with CGminer at the moment if you compile the latest source with support for the hardware. Without doing my homework first let me ask, would I be able to run one copy of CGminer with support for both the Red Fury and the AntMiner compiled in?

Thanks!

Gonna kick these both out the door and see what sticks  

Version 2.3.6 of MultiMiner is now available. This is a miner update to 2.3.5 and includes a couple of small bug fixes:

• Fixed additional KeyNotFoundException errors parsing pool information
• Reset the Auto-Restart Miners timer when the user starts mining

Additionally version 2.4.0 of MultiMiner is also available. This includes the above bug fixes as well as the following new features:

• Added official support for AntMiner U1 and LittleFury USB ASICs
• Added a per-pool miner arguments setting (e.g. for providing --pool-proxy)
• Improved support for detecting and displaying device names
• Clicking the Utility column will now toggle the app to display Work Utility
• Both the Current and Effective (based on Work Utility) hash-rate are now shown for each device (in addition to the previous Average hash-rate)
• Coin configurations are no longer permanently disabled when all pools are down and Auto-Mining is enabled under Strategies
• Added the option to disable USB probing
• Hardware is now re-scanned before mining (optionally) automatically starts on startup

Version 2.4 addresses a lot of requests and feedback from users.

From here I will be working on 2.5 which will include the #1 most requested feature. Hold on to your butts!

Well it is getting closer to my home. In New Jersey:

I will use 14 ice fury  sticks and see if I can get a high over clock.

Right now I get a 54 setting on my ice fury sticks.

 This means about 2.5 a stick.. If I get a 56 or 58 setting to work the sticks may push the 2.8 level.  I will post photos.

WOW Starman22 you just sucked in another senior member 
Hey, more power to ya.  If I ever need someone to sell something for me, I know who to call.

I think there's a small but important point missing in the description of the Firmware flash process :

- you need to keep those contacts closed all the way until the System recognizes it as Storage Device, installs/initializes USB Storage driver and opens appropiate Window on the Desktop/Device Icon appears - basically until the found storage device is clearly ready to use. This will take at least several seconds.

Letting go too early or temporarily losing the short circuit (can be a bit tricky to keep it closed all the time) just for an instant won't make the LED light up again (making it look like everything works as planned) but interrupts the whole process and will cause various errors in terms of device handling.

I'm using firmware 1.3 and BFG Miner 3.10.0. Sometimes when I plug in the miner, I only get hw errors (100%). I'll have to unplug it and plug it in a different port to get working. All ports on 3 computers give this problem sometimes. Anybody know why? Thanks!
