Been searching for best software and inputs for these usb units.
Could someone post a relevant thread for bcg and cgi running these units?
Just look in the Auction forum for Friedcat's posts reg the miners. There are also threads here for the best powered USB hubs etc. Thanks Will Do more research there when time allows. I Got an Idea...  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220905.0 |

Fantastic! Thanks Canary for all the time and efforts putting these orders together!  |

Love pics of the new usb rigs. So nice looking.
Are those the emerald or Saphpire Units? If Sapphire I thought the circuitry in back was not exposed. |

Good idea - I ordered 7 units, and plan to use the following gear. Will post pics and updates when the whole thing is running. Platform - Raspberry Pi AmazonHub - D-Link DUB-H7 AmazonIt's important that if you plan to run on RPI you should consult the list of verified powered hubs which can be found here http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Powered_USB_HubsPosted thanks! |

Sweeeet! A PERFECT First Post!  Thanks for dropping by. If you have any time down the road could you please post some specs. I presume these are the Emerald units? What wattage are those puppies pulling with the fans? |

Canary,
The Exchange rate is terrible at bitinstant.
I should have had .3 BTC extra and now need to run out again to get another 3/4 BTC deposited.
I think I will just make it....

MikeMike, 1 unit on this group buy is 2.2218, so 2.2218-2.03636 (you sent) - .0299 (your overpayment in group 2) = 0.15554 due when you get a chance, please send the remaining 0.15554 Thanks, Canary I'm trying to verify an account with coinbase. Or if there is another way I will pursue it to get the payment for another 4-9 pieces. Once order closes and I did not have ability to get any more BTC to fulfill at least 5pcs I will send balance. This way it does not get too confusing "on my end". Hope my reasoning explains the amount I sent. I use www.bitinstant.com when I need bitcoins really quick... you can use a money gram location and as soon as you deposit cash, bitcoins are sent to an address you specify on your order. Disclaimer: I do not assist with using bitinstant. Drolla/bitinstant I believe was closed down in USA Dwolla wasn't actually closed down, but their accounts for MtGox were seized. They now require your SSN to do anything..  Bitinstant is alive and well, though they certainly have some fees for their service. I've used them in the past couple days to get in on these orders. I'd definitely recommend Walmart for the local payment site, as they allow you to pay with either cash or a pin-based debit card. The others seem to only accept cash. OK thanks, Do you mean I can "With a SS #" and bitinstant sent money TO ""ANY BTC ADDRESS""  Or do I not need a SS # with just using biinstant ? Bitinstant does not need a SSN, just name/address/phone (they don't seem to check an ID even). Dwolla though changed their terms of service a while back apparently. Because of these group buys I was looking to buy some BTC, and was looking for ways to do so (last time I did was back in the Dwolla/MtGox days). It seems that Dwolla now requires a SSN for pretty much anything (and even with a SSN, you still cannot send to MtGox). Seemed a little excessive to me. I was surprised at how few options there actually are to buy into BTC. Bitinstant certainly is decent (their payments do get processed very fast, virtually instant). Still, ideally I think you could ideally have a credit card -> BTC processor. I understand there isn't one because of the potential for chargebacks, but it seems to me that BTC transactions would be very easy to prove to Visa/MC. ZipZap due to money laundering and fed compliance wants a copy of my drivers license or I cannot use service. |

I'm trying to understand the photos of the USB Erupter. Am I correct that one side has a colored metal plate, and the other side has exposed electronic components? Because I also see photos where one side is components, and other side has heatsink fins visible. Me confused  Those pictures with heatsink fins are from prototype batch, Emerald, that has green board. The batch now on sale is Emereld, it has blue board and metal plate with bitcoin logo as heatsink. Yes the Blue PC boards with total AL closed in box are the SAPPHIRE model. |

Using Windows what's the best software to run the asic USB units in?
Asking that question in a thread about a program for mining on Macs called MacMiner seems a peculiar leap of logic and I have no idea… But it's probably cgminer or bfgminer Thanks. I did a search and saw the info not the topic..... oppps.. |

Thanks a lot for doing this.
I second that! Thanks for the pic Canary. Gotta find out about pumping them up a bit.  I'm thinking USB cable extensions from the hub and place the heatsink side on a larger metal block, possibly water cooled? It may work to put the "Hot Side" down on a thick large piece of Aluminum on a piece of Granite or tile or cement floor... Weight the top down the middle or rig it so you screw the hot side to a larger heat sink or AL plate. my .00015117 BTC - these things really dont get THAT hot when you just have a standard fan blowing on them. you dont need to do anything special to keep them relatively cool. i ran 10 of them without cooling at all for 13 hrs with no problems. while they where pretty hot to the touch, it wasnt complete burn type of hot. as soon as i pointed a normal desktop fan on them they were just above warm to the touch, definitely bearable to keep my finger on them for extended periods of time. Cool! Thanks fin, I want to find a way to overclock these puppies while "super cooling" them. |

Get a load of this:
Cap1 and Chase both hooked up with BTC and dropped them HARD hoping they could Break BTC.
Fuck them then... find a local credit union. You'll get better features, lower fees, and better customer service. I never understood why people continue to use the megabanks when they are obviously creating problems for the economy. I'm in a small Town. Don't get me wrong BTC IS the future and scares the h***l out of the banksters. BUT- The first man to the "easy crypto currency" wins... All these sights need to have video tutorials that talk to you giving you all the most common answers to the questions and a high end tutorial for those not savvy...  |

8%! of transactions!  What happened to the 1% place??? Which one was that? I ran across a decent one last week but lost the link. You can trade and 1% for all cash in transactions a little high OK percentage. HHHHEEEEELPPPPPP!!!!MMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I got "Caught in the Web"... If you want to purchase btc and have it in your wallet within a day the only places I know of are BitInstant.com & BTCQuick.com Have you looked on the wiki? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_Bitcoins_(the_noob_version) If you are in the US coinbase.com is good, although they won't let you withdraw the btc until the deposit from your bank clears. They cancelled Capital One as a Depositor and linkeable account. I think Chase is gone too now correct? THEY should give you a list of Banksters that they deal with. I haven't heard anything about them not working with certain banks. But we are way off topic anyway  . Yea, Cap One is dead... I'd open an account somewhere IF I knew where to go!
