id kinda like to see the trenzor stay more focused on btc.
more code = more opportunities for bugs. sure open source vetted and such but i like devices that handle money to be simple, somewhat specialized to their purpose (as opposed to general propose do it all) and reliable.

I am new to linux and bitcoin mining and I am having some issues. Heres what I am working with:
Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Wheezy (fully up to date as of yesterday)
1 GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer currently plugged directly in the the RPi USB (not a powered hub/no cooling)
cgminer 4.9.2 all set up following Novaks guide on this site for cgminer-gekko
can the rpi 2 actually put out enough current to its usb port? the compac generally needs .5 amp or more depending on its speed and voltage settings. what are you powering the rpi with? most all of us that run rpis as controllers run the compacs on powered hubs |

a r9 390 is on its way.
what kind of internet bandwidth does eth need?
It does not need much internet bandwidth for mining. 1Mb/s is enough for the data transmission. You need low latency. 1 Mb/s seems high? cgminer on btc is like a few Kb/s I think. I was hoping much less as Im wireless internet (think 3g). Ill be just mining and trading eth for btc as I go. hope not to need the full blockchain. guess Ill find out |

@vopourminer, how many 290 cards are you able to get and what are they costing you? My 290 hashes at about 23.5 and my 289X's at 21.5. In my area the 280X costs about $200 and the 290 about $300 making the 280X pay itself of faster. Canadian $
dunno yet. newegg/amazon is my goto place now looking at 380Xs $235ish I have two. I like 380x very much better then 280x. thankyou all very good info, this is just the fastest to quote, i have read with great interest the other posts below this one but this specifically lists the 380X from one who has two. good good from VR standpoint. one (possibaly two) will be mine soon. because ya know if one is good, two must be better lulz |

the orange blower, outputs into 3 ways? can you take a closer pix of the blower and how it splits into 3? I have a similar idea.... but your looks more "cost effective"  i used blowers like that in my previous job. the manual states keep childeren away from them and drapes. no lie. lookup "flood restoration air mover" you can rent them various places if you want to try em out. |

im basically just commenting on sidehacks cables as i have no avalon or S anything and have extra seasonic x750s here for whatever miners may or may not be produced that i will buy.
those look pretty beefy. looks like more of sidehacks usual overengineered quality stuff.
might have sidehack do some custom cables for me.

Hi there.
I just wanted to remind everyone here to watch the amazing "Hashking Final Submission" video again. It stands the test of time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3vB8D-SRMI
PS: I am not to be held responsible for loss of hearing, ear cancer or other medical problems caused by following this link. and you know king scammy ass homero lets out a big old snotty guffaw when he plays that pile of crap gag-me-with-forklift video. literally the most cringeworthy crypto content on youtube. wtf and the anti garza is sidehack. <- seriously.. pretty much all that garza purported to stand for sidehack so far is. look folks garza was SO OBVIOUSLY a scam/ponzi it sets new standards in absurdity. |

if i were in a situation that i was in that much trouble i wouldnt want my friends involved (much as they would want to be) i would rather have the professional responders do it. they are paid to take the risk, my friends are not.

This could be a candidate, trouble is they don't specify the rating of the socket. 16 dollars is CRAZY BLOODY EXPENSIVE for a fuse socket/holder. Should be able to get a 20-30 amp CIRCUIT BREAKER for not a heck of a lot more than that. price is for 50, so 32 cents each |

one thing i found out with my trenzor was that a usb extension cable (4-6 feet) is handy for when your pcs usb plugs are under the desk. heh

im interested but no s5 controller here. but if all it needs is a beaglebone or something that can later be used for other stuff thats not an issue. otherwise, it is.
