it's not a bad price for the R-Pi circuit board alone, but have look at eBay link below for an R-Pi with Minepeon... EDIT. forgot the link http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Raspberry-Pi-Bitcoin-Mining-Host-Preprogrammed-/261257041142  which includes the following: 1 - Raspberry Pi Model B Revision 2.0 (512MB) 1 - Clear ABS Case 1 - Motorola USB Wall Adapter 1 - 4GB Samsung SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card Class 4 -Preloaded with MinePeon 1 - Basic Instruction Manual you could score the R-Pi above at a good price, it would save some time and you can still try your own setup on another sd card. usually kits with parts above go for around $80 - $90 1 day 6 hours till auction ends from now. Link? what link? |

what are you counting? blocks? |
|
|
|
no, something is broken. guess Slush is busy with Trezor, in vacation or at a conference... why, this has happened before and is statistically possible.  |
|
|
|
Starting a count. Doubt it will get to 20 before the next block.

i'm thinking that this is going to be a 24 hour block. |

|

looks like more people need to complain to the BBB.  |
|
|
|
geesh, we are about to run out of unconfirmed blocks.  |

What's with the luck since the last difficulty rise. It's horrible (according to the PPLNS Stats page)!!!
It's only ~15% negative and it has not even been 48 hours, meaning its highly volatile still. Based off the blocks found in the currently open shifts, it's probably about to flip to over 100% in the next 12 hours. heck, Slush is pushing 13 hours without a block. |

this is ceasing to be fun.  |

We need reinforcements! I just threw my last erupter at this block. Our hashrate needs to increase. we need to break this logjam. Come on people throw everything you got at this. dust off those GPUs.  |

Sapphire is just a name for the product line, not a "2nd gen". According to their own posts...Sapphire is the name for every board outside of the very first units shipped.
Recently they changed the LED from green to amber. Nothing else has been modified.
I think they also change the pcb board to Blue at the 2nd gen. Not sure, they have a very crappy site without much details.  Blue, that is why they are called Sapphire. |

I don't think anyone has asked this yet. the starter kit comes with a raspbery Pi, are you just running regular software on that, like cgminer? or, is it running something proprietary? Can the MBs be connected to a regular PC via usb?

Thanks guys, great to hear! I need one(many) of those  Asicminer USB? Uh, please do the math. I don't think its worth really, I have one because I just want to mine on something. And I made a little profit on selling a BFL product. nobody asked if it was worth it. |

How comes BTC are only 3 times bigger, yet find a massive order of magnitude more blocks more regularly?
Variance is big, even for large pools. Also...your data from BTC Guild is significantly out of order. BTC Guild's average block solve time is ~30-45 minutes. Slush's is ~2 hours (doing rough math). That is *average* time. Both pools have rounds lasting seconds/a few minutes, or multiple hours. Slush for the last month has averaged about 1:23:04 per block. The last 14 days has been about 1:25:09. Just FYI; I keep track. good to know, long blocks are just frustrating. |

I don't see why this is any surprise to anyone, of course they have to refund, I'm just surprised how many people bitch and keep themselves captive of their own free will.
If you've paid by credit card it's as restrictive as being in an open prison. You call your issuing bank (presuming you checked with them prior to purchase anyway), Paypal have no reason to refund themselves, but they want your repeat business. In any case they turn the screws on BFL and you will get your refund, but it took you aggro, when if you pad by a credit card you just call the issuing bank. It's what you pay their usurious fees for...
so you're saying that if we paid Paypal with a credit card we should have no problem? We'll see. i just sent BFL a refund request since they didn't meet the "end of July" delivery they advertised in May, before they had their "no refund" policy. |

Jeez, these things really make some heat! I'm going out ASAP to grab some small heatsinks and/or better thermal tape. These dont get warm to the touch, they get HOT. removing them or handling them within 5min of unplugging is still enough to singe your fingers
An Artic USB fan works fine for cooliing these. you can touch them. i have a hub, fan, and heatsinks on order, but expect at least a week for delivery (I dont want/plan to throw down $20 at a local store for only to BEs!) for the time, ive put some small chopped up gpu heatsinks on them, but its anything but professional a job. Either way, they draw away the heat and improve surface area a bit I'm currently running 20 with just fans. I feel heat sinks are overkill. |

Odd, one of my miners is running, fat, dumb and happy. getting work and sending results. But my account page says nothing for over a half hour. Do i trust that this is really hooked to a working server? or do i force it to a backup pool? |
