Thanks! You should start a separate wiibox thread...think it would help get the most out of them.

Would you sell your case? Are you based somewhere in the EU?

cheers

Let's see how it turns out first. Just the cost on the parts are more than I think most would want to pay:  $157.87 not including connecting brackets

Hope to have it built this weekend...

Shopping list:
Ryobi 7-1/4 in. Miter Saw With Laser
Diablo 7-1/4 in. x 56 Tooth Carbide Circular Saw Blade   
Ryobi Miter Saw Stand

Estimated Subtotal $231.94+tax
:/

That saw and blade are awesome together though, bought the saw new off of Craigslist for half price. I used a table though.

The blade is half the cost of the miter saw! It better be good Smiley

That's quite the password Smiley
How did you end up getting it? Just curious...you don't have to answer.

Is there a recommended procedure to updating the wiibox? I haven't really used my wiibox controllers yet but think I saw an update button somewhere in the web UI....translated from Chinese I recall something in the wording put me off to trying it.

Check this out...a vendor is selling a case ($119) similar in design to my original concept but with aluminum instead of acrylic and different dimensions:

Nice try on guessing the problem being USB wolfey2014 but on a Thinkpad with Ubuntu server I have run 20 miners uninterrupted for over 3 days strait.

BTW, the shipping fee (at least to me) from hashra is $150 for 20. Comes out to $157.50 each. Think that is the best price so far until the other guys meet or beat it Cheesy

www.HASHRA.com
They are the outfit with their own warehouse and sorting facility in between GridSeed China and the rest of the world.
They are opening the doors to bulk purchases, sometime this week, from what they've told me.
I'd deal with them. They are a one stop, no fuss, no muss supplier that provides free shipping to the USA in a week or less!
No Terriffs, no shipping or logistical headaches!
Just my .00000002btc

I can vouch for Hashra. I ordered 20 and although it took 3 weeks to get them, their product included the Raspberry PI and simple software.
Other than shipping time, im pretty happy with them.
There are also several US shippers with decent pricing, even on individual units at $205 including shipping. The main advantage of local US is the shipping time is drastically reduced. My order from Hash-Master got to my door less than 1 week after I ordered and only 5 days after I paid.

LOL, I got them same day from hash-master. Just got in the car and a few hours (and $$$$) later was hashing away Tongue

Hashra and Hash-Master are two of the few "official" distributors.

Feeling gutted I only got mine 2 weeks ago and cost almost 5 grand for 20. Price has dropped hard.

Yeah, I'm feeling the same. Mostly though regarding the GPUs bought in Dec, those became worthless much quicker than expected.

Gridseed has done a great job at mass producing these and making it easy for people acquire them quickly. The downside to this is difficulty skyrockets lowering profitability.

I am very tempted to go in for more at the latest offer of $165/each for 20 units, but am beginning to think it might be best to wait until the price levels out at what the manufacture is willing to go to. KNC announcing a unit for $10K for 100Mh/s (for $100 per 1 Mh/s) also makes me think the price will continue on down.

When you put it that way ($100 per 1 Mh/s) I too find it hard to order more at $165 for 360 Kh/s  Undecided

...but when is the KnCMiner shipping? Q2/Q3 2014. By that time I bet their 100 Mh/s will be more like 120-140 Mh/s for $10k. With the price of alts sinking lately I'm thinking it would be best to wait...but of course I wont! Tongue (this being a hobby for me...if it was a business, well...)

I also paid extra to get these early knowing that the distributor cost was in the $150-160 range (maybe less now). I was okay with it then and am still now. It was a short window of opportunity for distributors to make some great margins and who can blame them. If cost is currently $150 then a $165 sale price would be a margin of 10%...still not bad...well, less after shipping and returns/operations so maybe 5-8%.

At $165 these miners are about the same price to performance ratio of a 290x not factoring in electricity cost. The electricity savings is what sold me.

Edit:
KNC is now 250 Mh/s for 10K or $40 per 1 Mh/s! These should be priced at $14.40  Shocked

Does Hashra controla run cgminer or cpuminer?

Thanks in advance  Cool

It's not more than 4 month ago BIPS "lost" 1295 BTC - today I am still not convenience that it was a hack, how can you both loose everything in hot-wallets and cold-storage at in a "top modern high secure datacenter"... lot of talk about lawsuits back then... but nothing really happened, the owner walks away.

Btw. I am sorry for your loss, I know how it feels, I have lost way to many bitcoins myself due to all these thieves.

Don't blame the data center...no matter how good a data center is they can not stop bad coding. Blame the coders! Smiley

Grumble....

Sent some DOGE to Vircurex to trade but now my BTC is stuck Sad

It is not frozen...but when I try to withdraw it logs me out and gives an error about pop-up blocker or URL change.

I signed up today so didn't have anything there before now.

You may be able to buy back your DOGE, send them to Cryptsy and change them to BTC, you will take a loss, but you will at least be 'out'.

Thanks, that worked!

Now my BTC balance is only 0.00000420

Dodge withdraw was quick.

getting 361.7kh/s cgminer 850 clock ltc mode only
That's about what I get, but im worried about the HW errors. I do get a lot of them, about 1-2K over 24 hours at that speed.
When I go down to 800, I only get about 10-20 in a 24 hour period.
Do the HW errors cause any permanent or cumulative damage to the pod?

I have noticed that HW errors depend on the worker diff. The lower the worker diff the higher the HW errors...but im only talking about 10 HW errors over 24 hours worse case.

Hello all.  Is there a list, somewhere, of the p2p servers set up, for Bitcoin and alt coins?

http://p2pools.org/ is a nice list...

You running off the PC or Pi?

Would love to get the Pi working but it's unstable...at least for me with 20 miners Sad

I for one would totally love explanation on getting cgminer 3.7.2, running Scrypt on a Raspberry PI as configured in this guide.


So I take it you tried the 5-step process referenced in the OP and something didn't work? What exactly?

The OP is correct.  The cgminer which is version 3.8.5 works fine for BTC mode. Issue is 3.8.5 won't support Scrypt and I would like another instance of cgminer version 3.7.2 that will support Scrypt so i can run two instances. We can see from the post he is running cgminer 3.7.2 it is right in his screen grab. So i would like to know how he accomplished compiling and getting  second version running on his PI.

Thanks,
John


I don't think you can run both versions of cgminer currently. The dtbartle version (3.7.2) disables the SHA-256 cores. I have requested he modify his version to make the disabling of the SHA-256 cores optional. For dual mining you currently have to run either one of the Gridseed controllers or the SHA-256 version of cgminer and cpuminer.

BFGMiner may support dual mining...not sure.

Ok,

80/20 25-2525 aluminum extrusions ordered with 50 nuts/bolts.

Total cost for parts with shipping and tax so far: $157.87

Now I need to go buy a miter saw with the appropriate blade and stand...estimate that will cost around $200.

Gesh, glad this hobby pays back some Smiley

How do I write new Wheezy file on SD card which already has Wheezy ?

I know that windisk can do it but I need to format that SD card and put new Wheezy on it.

SD formater is saying that I have 56MB SD card but card is 8GB.

If you use Win32DiskImager it will just wipe out the SD card entirely so you don't have to worry about formatting it.

Also, if you do decide to use SD formatter the option to resize will make it 8GB.

As a quick solution I am thinking of taking the modular cables from my AX1200i and cutting off the PCIe connector then using those 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC barrel plug adaptors. 3 per PCIe connector for now....may look for 5 way splitters later.

...but I can seem to find any specs on them. How do I make sure they are at least 6A or more?
