0a) What to Expect (top)
The RockMiner R-Box replaces the Cube in the ASICMiner line up at just 10% of the power consumption. This is the first implementation of ASICMiner's
generation 3 40nm BE200 chip. Each unit ships in a custom made box with custom padding and is vacuum sealed from the factory. Cables included will
depend on your reseller.
| Chips | 4x ASICMiner Gen3 |
| Hashrate | ~32-37GH |
| Rated Voltage | 12V |
| Rated Current | 3.5-4A |
| Power.Consumption | 40-50W |
0b) What You Need (top)
In addition to a host windows PC, you will need a few accessories and a mains power adapter.

1) Powering (top)
R-Boxes do not come with a power supply, and you will need a 2.5mm 12V mains power adapter. Also pictured is the method when using a BlackArrow
power distribution board. I can not recommend its use due to the pins being openly exposed on the back side. Live to ground can so easily be shorted with a
finger, posing both a safety and fire risk.
2) Cooling (top)
The R-Box is self sufficient in cooling terms and utilises custom aluminium finned heatsinks on the top and bottom of the board. A low profile frame
92mm fan provides ample airflow while remaining effectively silent.
3) Configuration (top)
R-Boxes can be run using CGMiner or BFGMiner. A Windows based PC is recommended although a similar process can be applied on a Raspberry Pi.
Using CGMiner:
- Download the latest version of CGMiner and Zadig.
- Extract, and run the zadig application.
- Select "CP21202 USB to UART Bridge Controller" and then click "Replace Driver". You only have to do this once per computer.
- Create a new file in notepad and enter pool information as below. Save it as a .bat in the same folder as CGMiner.
- Run the bat file to start mining.
Antpool
Code:
cgminer.exe -o stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
Code:
cgminer.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
Code:
cgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dogie.RockMiner -p 123
Using BFGMiner:
- **If you have previously installed drivers using Zadig as above, you will need to reverse this to use BFGMiner**.
- Download the latest version of BFGMiner (Win64 version).
- Create a new file in notepad and enter pool information as below. Save it as a .bat in the same folder as CGMiner.
- Run the bat file to start mining.
Antpool
Code:
bfgminer.exe -o stratum.antpool.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
Code:
bfgminer.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
Code:
bfgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dogie.RockMiner -p 123
