Well I got on

http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_product=61&controller=product&id_lang=1

eventually. But they were all sold out.

Should have restricted one per customer and previous customers only to give us loyal customers a fair chance.

UPDATE: EVERYTHING IS OUT OF STOCK! MAYBE AN ERROR?

or is Martin listing them for sale 1 at a time?

I use 2 power supplies and have problems with the 5v power leaking from one of the Hex16Bs and competing over a shared cheap USB and TP-Link.

It was the first one I got which has 2 Power blocks on the board and 2000rpm fan, so it's easy to identify, the 5 other good Hex16B only have 1 power block and 4500rpm fans.

It would cause the miners on 1 power supply to fail soon after starting mining. They would run okay as long as I kept everything separate.

So either put them on separate TP-links and hubs or this is what I did...

Swapped my cheap £2/$3 no-name Chinese hubs (which worked even if something was leaking power) for my branded Chinese Orico hub with power protection.

I knew this Orico had problems disabling the first miner I got, but the rest seemed okay, so I taped out the 5v and ground in the USB connector for the bad one and it all worked!

Now on this hub (which has power protection) the whole rig runs more stable.
Running 25 days+ no issues 1x TP-Link + Orico 10 Port Hub + 6xHex16B + 2x350W PSUs.

The moral of this story is always use a power protected USB hub!

Yes, but Nvidia are really bad, you'd be best selling them on eBay and buying AMD instead.

If you have enough MH I'd recommend using a P2Pool

I used pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9327 but there's a list of others at http://p2pool.hostv.pl

No account (just use your address as your username and anything as the password) and instant payout as blocks are solved.

If your MH is too low though you won't get a payout because you're not get above the dust level.

If you don't see any payout over 24hrs us a non p2p pool that accrues shares instead.

I use P2Pools as my backups. See http://p2pool.hostv.pl/ for a list.

No account required (just use your address as your username and anything as the password) and they pay out instantly a blocks are solved.
I'd see 4-5 payouts a day.

You need to be mining 15GH+ though or you won't see a payout because your not above the dust level.

It means higher labour cost. That's why most people try to produce big 1500W machines. That max out the US home power socket.

Technobit's Bitcoin miners are quite small compared to what most produce. Bitmine.ch (the A1 chip maker) wont sell below 500GH miners.

Seems a little high, the market is looking at $3/GH by April, and I was hoping for €1000 ($3/GH + 20% VAT) but maybe people will pay €1499.

I guess it's half the price of 6x Hex16B = 260GH which was 2999 EUR. (Still waiting for that ROI) So it's a good deal in that respect.  

I really need to know how the W/GH at the wall compares with the Hex16B though (420W for 6x) and how noisy (hoping no 4500RPM fans!).

€1499 = 2.42 BTC. 260GH will mine about 0.06BTC a day right now. That's around 1.8BTC/pm (if theres no huge jump in difficulty/deliver on time)

Agree, you just need some angle brackets,


and some metric spacers,


then you could mount a single fan blowing over both heatsinks and still be stackable.

The Enermax Maxrevo/Platimax 1500 have 6 separate power rails, you wont be able to load more than 30A per wire. Because it forces you to spread the load over at least 6 cables, you probably wont melt them. They're up to 94% efficient, which is good for your power bill, but note it's really a 1200V PSU as it's 100A max over all 12V rails.

3x or 4x Gigabyte HD 7850 or R9 270 with Twin Fans are awesome for power efficiency and low noise.

Do you guys realize the CEX.io contact address is on Threadneedle Street?

The Bank of England is also on Threadneedle Street and it came to power as a central bank by buying all the Kings currency out of circulation (royal tally sticks).

Must watch video to educate yourself about the City of London not being London!

Even the Queen of England has to get their permission before she can visit that's how powerful they are!

You don't know the power of the dark side!

Wrong, I care, I want to be free to trade with anyone in the world, at zero cost, using a currency not backed by debt servitude (bondage/slavery).

1KwH cost around 15c or 10p (look at your electricity bill to be more accurate)

800W = 0.8KwH = 12c or 8p

24hrs x 12c = $2.88

24hrs x 8p = £1.92

You know what else is on Threadneedle Street, The Bank of England! It came to power as a central bank by buying all the Kings currency out of circulation (royal tally sticks).

42GH was paying me about 0.0038BTC x 4 times a day back in 2013-12-15 on FabulousPanda (P2P, 0.5% pool fee).
1Gh/s per day works out as 0.0152BTC / 42GH = 0.00036BTC.
But as you need to get over the 0.001BTC dust level, to be payed, you'll need at least 15GH mining or you will see nothing.

You need to get above the 0.001BTC dust threshold on your mining payments.
42GH was paying me about 0.0038BTC x 4 times a day back in 2013-12-15 on FabulousPanda (P2P, 0.5% pool fee).
So you'll probably need at least 15GH to make P2P pay above 0.001BTC.

Yeah I did try to talk Marto into using a single 8-Pin PCI-E socket. Everyone has 4x 6+2 power connectors these days on 1000W PSUs.

You can get 8-pin to 2x6pin converters but we'll have to see how much power it draws to know if they'd work or melt.

I see a Sunon EE92251S3-000U-999 1.3W 2400RPM fan.

Hoping they don't need to stick the 4500RPM fans on it so it runs as quiet as the Hex16B!  

H/W errors look a lot better. Gratz on 30GH a chip.

What is the W/GH? I'd be interested to know if it beats 2xHex16B which are 120W at the board for 90GH

H/W Errors seems a bit high. If they're 3.4% in normal mode they're probably gonna be 10% in turbo?
That's about 2x what Avalon 55nm chips had.

Thanks for the update on progress.
