So this is the "Block Erupter Blade (New Model)" thread right? I got confused, i thought it was the "every other thread where people compare one vendor to another which drives the OP very very far off topic" thread.
But anyway, i thought the new blades had USB? And as someone mentioned and someone else quoted (i cant find it now because there are too many tardfight posts) asking if you need cgminer or it is self sustained.
And also the other post asking about where to get the backplane.
Why should it has USB ? Thats soooo stupid. Its a standalone unit.. USB would requite a PC to host it. Maybe an option for those new to mining wanting only one or a few easily hooked up??? Yeah thats stupid. It would require that you have a host pc 24/7 runnning. With this blade design you just connect them to your router and its done.. It's that easy? I hope someone posts a tutorial.  That is for the old blade, will do one for the new ones once friedcat gets me some samples over but they're pretty similar. |

Cooling is much better when blowing through rather than sucking through a heatsink. As others have said, it takes a worse path when sucking through. This is because the pressure profile on either side of the fan isn't the same, its much stronger and compact on the blowing side.
Additionally, the rest of the PCB and components need airflow that a sucking arrangement wouldn't provide.

Bump for new blades being announced. Rack of 10 seems fair for b1  Not sure what to do for B2+ seeing as there are no new component boards. Free blade for those as well? |

There is no "bullshit" in my posts. I correctly predicted mining wouldn't make the BTC back. I never commented on reselling (which was the only way to make profit).
On the other hand, there is "bullshit" or plain lies in your posts ("I knew they were overpriced" vs. "I will achieve 140% ROI mining").
But this is irrelevant. If I had made an incorrect prediction, at most I would have been wrong, but I would not have degraded the quality of the forum's discussions, because my writings remain polite. I say you are degrading the quality of bitcointalk.org because you are being childish (lying), and verbally assaulting me.
LOL you are absolutely delusional. You necro'ed a 5 month old thread to boast that you got a prediction right, at the detriment of everyone else. You are better than us all, you are God. Now stop fucking crying and let the thread die. |

I try to make you and others aware of, and learn from, your bad predictions of difficulty levels. And you are there assaulting me. *sigh*... The reason the quality of bitcointalk.org has degraded over the last 2 years is because of posts like yours  As I suspected/predicted, difficulty continued to increase significantly. Those who bid 75 BTC for a 12.8 Gh/s blade in late April 2013 never made their BTC back. They spent 75 BTC to mine ~40 BTC so far. They will never mine more than ~45 BTC in the rest of the lifetime of their equipment. Holding BTC would have been smarter.
I guess these blades have at least sentimental value, being some of the first ASICs.
Might want to look in the mirror. The reason it has 'degraded' is because there are now people willing to call you on your bullshit. |

My point is you predicted they would make 140% ROI *mining*, not re-selling. You were wrong on that. I am glad you financially did ok. But the bottom line is you underestimated difficulty increases. You said "we already knew", but you obviously did not.
Great, and your point to necro this thread was? Do we need to massage your ego before you let it die? |

yes but when one has that blue airflow bracket, then the flow is forced to the sink and there would be a single continuous and effective air flow through the single (of-course case close not in open air) ...? that should be much quieter also.. in the original design air has multiple obstacles/high and low pressure points and different direction airflows collide.. all that is noisy and ineffective IMHO.
It would be inefficient, but not noisy. Get two case fans and hold them far apart and together, doesn't make much difference. I didn't realise you had that as a bracket, but the design still doesn't work. You can't make an air tight seal around the heatsink, and so the air will still rather go around than through. There is a lot of flow resistance associated with high surface area. |

Yes they are. Without the small ones blowing directly through the fins, the majority of the air would just find the path of least resistance, which is around the sides of the heatsinks.
Arguably in an open case the two larger fans aren't required, but we don't know for sure the cooling requirements on the non-chip components.

its still customs and excises that stop the parcel and charge you 20% vat+ delivery from there where house to where you live and that's normaly £20 + vat lol
if I pay £100 it will cost me £20 vat £20 postage + vat and £5.97 handling fee so it would cost me £55.97 if fees on a £100 parcel and that's not including the original postage lol
If you payed VAT in Germany you don't pay it in UK it's simple as that, so no double taxation. Agreement is here http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxtreaties/in-force/germany.pdf+1 something is going wrong there |

I get dyslexic...........  Don't feel bad. dogie also wrote "oh great profit" instead of "oh great prophet", which is a choice insight into his mind That was also on purpose, to add sarcasm that he's not a god but someone who took a 50/50 guess and then necro'ed a 5 month old thread to gloat about an outcome we already knew and agreed upon. You must have a short memory, dogie You were one of the guys who bought blades (at 50.5 BTC each in the 2nd auction) and who thought would achieve 140% ROI *chuckle* when in fact it is clear by now 2nd auction buyers won't even mine more than ~40 BTC... Damn, I forgot I also sold those blades at full price after mining for a month - my bad. tldr: mining is not the only use for mining equipment. |

looking to buy 100 shipped to the uk what's the best price you can do ?
are you looking for a uk reseller ?
yxt handles EU from Germany. lol when I asked him about sending to the uk I was told its not worth his bother from Germany we still have to pay crazy post prices and customs fees we need a uk reseller I've offered, but been told that its yxt's realm. I'd be happy to do it otherwise. You wouldn't have customs from Germany. the uk is a rip of I get post from a few EU county's and I have had to pay customs or I wouldn't get my stuff ( 20% vat on any imported goods it doesn't matter where there from ) its crazy Thats not by customs, thats just VAT collectable by the retailer, same as you'd pay over here. There isn't any customs between Germany and the UK. |

C'mon people, it will make BTCs back. At most in a year, but 6-7 months seems more precise timeframe.
Difficulty won't rise exponentialy forever. In a year it can be at 300M, which will make AM still profitable (energy-wise).
Difficulty does not have to rise exponentially forever. It just has to rise 35% month-over-month, for merely 12 months, and the buyers will never make their money back: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178275.msg1889860#msg1889860For the record, 35% per month for 12 months would bring the network to ~2000 Thash/s total, which half of it is already being built or planned by various entities (100TH-Mine, BFL, ASICMINER, OEM Avalon Chip Customers, etc). As I suspected/predicted, difficulty continued to increase significantly. Those who bid 75 BTC for a 12.8 Gh/s blade in late April 2013 never made their BTC back. They spent 75 BTC to mine ~40 BTC so far. They will never mine more than ~45 BTC in the rest of the lifetime of their equipment. Holding BTC would have been smarter. I guess these blades have at least sentimental value, being some of the first ASICs. Yes oh great profit tell us what next. Blades were one of the most retraded ASICs ever. Overpriced  Yes,retarded NO !!!!!..........at least they didn't do the preorder crap.............................. I said re traded not retarded. |

Very helpful for the hardware side of getting these blades up and mining. I'm sure you've save me and hundreds of others a lot time, effort and money.
I've got my hardware all wired up and working. but I am still clueless how to get these things connected to a pool. I've been searching all day for some step-by-step, concise instructions for (an obviously mentally challenged) newbie miner??
seems more like Fight Club. if it wasn't for you all on this site, I'd have never got the hardware set-up. not even 1 picture or sentence of instruction came with the blades. the (1 page) diagram online is a joke. are you telling me that even an experienced miner or programmer is going to deduce all the information needed to set a blade up from that one page??? let alone someone new to mining.
and, I know this is international dealing with different languages, but an online guide could be translated or something. even some Ikea type hieroglyphics would be better than nothing. if it's that much of a secret, who's palm needs greasing or ass needs to be kissed to be sponsored, hazed, taught the secret handshake and finely gain admittance to the inner circle of knowledge? I'm at a loss. this is my 3rd day
with the blades in-hand. the power and IP connection were fairly easy with this thread........now we (some? at least me!) need the rest!!
thanks

Blades have been, and are currently the most barebone miner there is. You need to enter your pool IPs, user and pass into the online console. |

Not a theoretical, can my blade take 24V? [answer no, other guy claiming yes *sigh*]
Which raises the question, Mr. Master of (BS) Engineering: what's the part number of the DC/DC regulator? A proper engineer would have that answer, if you don't and you don't absolutely know, say: "I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't advise it." How hard would that be? Stop deflecting, what's the P/N of the regulator? Either you aren't telling us because you don't know, or because you're wrong. Edit: It *is* a theoretical question. Your ignorance regarding this is astounding. Quit pulling the engineer card if you're not going to act like one. Then why didn't YOU say "I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't advise it." The fails are painful. |
