So I really like that if we could get under 2 that would be amazing.  But likely there are still enough batch 1 S7's being delivered we likely will be over 2.

Price around 238.  It teased us and got under a dollar away from 240 but never did get to it.

I don't think anyone would disagree with that.  He no doubt has been the number one hasher in the pool.

And add organizing this group ontop.  I think he has put in most work and money.

When I said I hoped it got more social.... this was not the direction I was thinking .

This should be fun I think is main thing I got out of this.   I am trying to think of fun ideas.  Anyone have any fun social ideas for the group?

If you really want to push them you need a Y cable or something to allow power from 2 USB ports.  Unless you are getting a ton of power through 1 port somehow.

With Y cable I am able to get 16gh out of a stick.  I need some time to built something to hold my usb stick nicely in front of a fan to cool it as it get's warm at 16gh.

Are you trying to just get power from 2 usb's for this or are you hooking the little dongle or to something else for more power?

You can get Y splitters very cheap on ebay.  I think it was Phil that pointed these out in another thread - http://www.ebay.com/itm/221661361513?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

They are 1.45 each.  Only thing is it took a LONG time to get.  So do not order them if you need them quick.  But order and have 2 weeks or so they are quite a bargain.  The 5 I got all seem to work good aswell.  So work as advertised.

Yea measure them and let us know.  I would be interested in hearing it.   I think something is off with your unit if your getting these spikes that are making it louder then a S5 even modified.

You might check your fan and see if something's wrong.   I have 3 and do not experience the spikes on any of them.  All were bought directly from avalon (e-hash) not second hand.    But I even had them running in my bedroom they were so quiet.  Only miner I have done this with.  

I have 3 and have not experienced these points.   Are you overclocking or something?   I am running mine at very efficient settings.   I just have not seen a miner that matches them on quietness. 

Have ran efficient most of their life's.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1008726.0

Is your experience from the early avalons?  I'm guessing so with that.

I ordered some 4.1's from when I did a guide for it.   All went fine when I ordered from ehash.   But I realize that is different then those who dealt with original avalon.

I enjoy playing with hardware and doing hardware guides.  So I have done mostly hardware miners.   I was able to use a work area for a mining room instead of work and just used a lot of CFM worth of fan's and am happy to say I was able to mine through summer.   

I do have a little in cloud's but it is no where near my hardware miners.    I did cloud for fun just to try.   

Wow thank you for doing this!   Truly made it easy to understand.  I think i now can calculate it.   Bookmarked this even

Thanks again for your time doing it. We are less then a dollar away from 240.... crossing fingers for 240 value hopefully in near future.

Thanks for all the time you spend on this campaign.  It has been a great campaign and a fun thing to be apart of.

I have been apart of it for over 6 months.  I can say it is the best campaign around.    Happy to be a part of it.

Thanks phil for taking time to anwser this.   I think I am understanding what you are sayng.   1 stick - 1 equal share is pretty simple to understand.

Hopefully we can get the social part now we know how it will be done after 30 days .

This may be a horribly stupid question but how do you get the 144 number that it should have been?   It seems like it would change which each difficulty change.  I'm not clicking on how you get the "should be" number.

And thank you for taking time to help me understand it,  I'm just wanting to be able to calculate it myself.

I will warn on powered hub not all 2.0 does the PI's like.  If you have trouble and cannot get to it try to use.   Some have a power feedback - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=17560 .  If you cannot get the hub to work try the compac directly on the pi and you can see if you have a hub problem.   

I was kinda a pain for me and my hub but I got it working after some reading.

Thanks for update.  It could be a horrible idea.  But it seems people like to collect the colors on a lot of USB sticks.  Have you thought about using a different color heatsink for second batch?

Thank you for sharing price.   Gives me kinda a estimate.   Sadly I cannot justify it with my electricity.   Just will take too long for me to ROI on it.    I can see long term though it would be very nice to have but longer term then I want currently on investments.

Over lifetime of house if you used that as scale I'm sure it will pay off sometime, and then you would have a great setup.  Just seems to take a while compared to cheap electricity.

I see the difference on controller on PCI-e going up.  Does the "new" one have 9 slots for blades still I could not tell from picture looks like still nine i'm estimating after looking at it again..

Is there more details as far as the housing?   I guess I would love to see side by sides if anyone happens to have both.

I always love your updates thank you for doing them.  I have wondered how do you get the number we should be at?   Is it a website your going to or are you doing some math by hand? 

There are at least two copanies on here that sell pre-done containers.  They seem very high to me and I don't think they will make sense for most.  If you are dragging the entire thing from place to place..... i guess so but chances are once you sit it you will not be moving it again.

GND seems to be watching which is actually nice to know a data center is looking at thread.   GND I know you have talked about prices likely to go down again sometime in future (I believe).   If there was a big group buy of hardware sent to you could you do as far as lowest price that is your next drop?  And when would you expect it to happen?

Here is a link for bitfury showing they allocated 1 PH to Bit-x https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=896350.0 .  Remember I am not tied with company so that is what I have. I ask you to show what hardware you are using.   You never have said anything or a company vouch that you have hardware.  Their main business is being a exchange United Kingdom as far as Bit-X.

As far as me pushing.  I am only pushing research.  EVERYONE should do their own research before investing anything specifically cloud mining, as sadly a lot of sites are scams.  If you buy bit-x hash I personally make ZERO off of it.   I am paid as a signature campaign person who a specialty in hardware mining.  Do not invest in anything because of me pushing researching before buying.

If you have a question for Bit-X - https://bit-x.com/customer/support .  I believe you can even call if you are able to call UK numbers.    That is where to ask questions to them.  Not through me as in no way am I an official proxy of support.

I am not perfect I lost some during the gawminer day's.   This is why I know everyone should do their own research.    And I have made it clear I mostly do hardware mining as I like playing with hardware.    

Again be careful with any investment espically cloud investing.  Always do you research and never put more then you can lose.  As true cloud mining does not guarantee ROI just like hardware mining.  Hopefully this message is a little clear that I am in no way pushing for investments.
