Whats the dimensions of the hashing board and the master board?
Does the master board connect to the RasPi using usb or gpio?
Does the pi run cgminer or some custom miner software?
Master board is 80x368 mm. Hashing board is 110x139 mm. It's connected using SPI (on the GPIO connector). I don't know about the software.

Bitfury used to say he doesn't like cgminer for this purposes. He prefers to write custom software.

Hmm, that could be a problem for some of us. What about support? Relying on a custom piece of software that (many of us) will have no clue how to fix when it goes wrong is not a good thing. At least with cgminer or bfgminer there is some limited community support. Also if ckolivas and the cgminer team get their own starter kit they would be able to develop and optimize the software for the hardware. Would it not be better to focus purely on hardware and let someone (like ckolivas and other miner developers) else work on the software (essentially for a free dev board)?


Hey allinvain,

Did you get any additional feedback on how the software will work or be updated? (i.e. if we want to change mining pool later on or set up multiple pools for redundancy, etc, etc). I haven't been able to find any good answers on this.

I do know ckolivas has done a great job supporting multiple hardware with cgminer, which seems to be robust/mature enough to support many options so your comment makes a lot of sense to me. Not sure about bfgminer though.

It'd be great if anyone could please clarify.

Thanks

Actually, he did acknowledge Yes, to the question of Oct. Go back and look in the archive.

I saw that but in the first sections he's referring to **August** bitfury equipment. Hence, he should at least add transparency in the worst case scenario.

In any case, what's that crap about "locking-in" an unlimited/unpaid order??

If anyone had been there... They'd know that was taken out of context.  I was referring to the Oct delivery date and I'm not "cutting in line."  I just have my spot reserved from the time I contacted Dave.

"Out of context" sounds like BS to me since October isn't "first" but August. Here's more about these "Lab Rat" operations:

Dude, you are no longer dealing with corrupt organizations like ButterFly Labs. Please refrain from shady moves. Your cutting in line necessarily must be leaving good faith customers out of it.

Anyhow, you must to go to the end of line just like anyone else rather than hoarding equipment we aren't getting earlier because of you.

I just read today in the BFL forum something that this guy called "Lab Rat" posted there regarding Bitfury. I don't know if he's BSing or no (sounds like he isn't).  Apparently this is a guy trying to get a hold of many TH/s to run some kind of bond/dividend program. They asked him how many GH/s he ordered with Dave and this was his response:

[04:43 PM]   Lab_Rat : None yet... I have my place locked in line and when they're almost ready to ship I'll buy what we can afford...
[04:44 PM]   Lab_Rat : I can buy as many as I want and be shipped first

Really? Shipped "first" regardless of an undetermined and unpaid order size? hmm..interesting.

Anyway, hope he was BSing and that no one is unfairly cutting in line at the expense of others :-)

Funny how you're the second person to come straight here from the newbie section cheering on HashFast.  The other turned out to be ... interesting.

Could well be a shill or Troll

Hehehe. Let me know if I missed a ritual, initiation or fraternity program I must be accepted first to shed little by little the skepticism, doubt and concerns that my interventions in this forum might bring to the community's "circle of trust."

Make no mistake with me. If there's anything I don't like about Hashfast I'd say it. Unlike some here might be, I'm neither a troll nor a boot licker. I just say what I perceive in anyone's face and I'm not going to ask permission to say anything. 

Who gives a shit about conspiracy theories anyway!...This is not about me. Let's talk HashFast! :p eace out.

Wohoooo!  It's just a few blocks from where I live. So proud of my Silicon Valley. I'm on vacation but I'll probably contact them later on to pay them a visit.

I'll be on day one in line the day they start selling just like with an Apple store (except I'm going to be escorted by some dudes since it'll be like walking out with gold from a store).
Go SV! Go SV!! to lead the technology charge and leave behind in the war zone the sucker, douchey and geek-wanna-be redneck company from Kansas. (You know which company I'm specifically talking about! ;-)

Yappers.  That shoo is Uniquify's address Cheesy  BTW, how did you get out of noob jail so quick -- this is your second post EVAH!

Good behavior I guess. You stalking me, bro? hahaha.

Well, San Jose or San Francisco (if that's where Hashfast is actually located) big deal. Around the corner for me anyway. I'm actually heading there to get some beers @ the marina. Happy Friday Cheesy

Hi,

What do you think of the prospects of Ripple? Do you think it would replace Bitcoin in any shape or form? Sooner than later?

Thanks
