Anyone else find it a bit ironic that as Australians we chose this group buy because its local, therefore we'd be getting the boards first out of everyone but looks like we'll be the last? Maybe ironic isn't the right word, but I had to chuckle to myself.
Not having a dig only sharing a thought I've had.
We are based in Sydney Australia, but accept orders worldwide. If you are located in Australia, this is a fantastic opportunity to get your hands on locally built quality miners, saving on shipping costs and helping build the Australian Bitcoin network. Assembly and production will be done either here in Sydney or San Francisco or both. Yes Yes, but we also trusted them to do what is best for development and production, I think they have done a fine job. I also chose them as they are within traveling distance, so i could come in the middle of the night if they run of with my money.  glad that's not necessary.  +1 I would've hired Y I FU's China mob guys to get my money  couldn't we find sydney-based ones in the phone book? support local business and all.. |

My fun is I need for both hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
I haven't thought to check if Bartech is having winter or summer right now or where the boards are being tested. Austrailia weather says Sydney 75*F/24C* during the day.
in australia, summer starts in december, work the rest of the seasons out from there. 8.50am friday morning right now, three of the last four days this week have been over 30C (86F) with a little drizzle of rain inbetween just to make it muggy shit. i heard some areas out west got up to 39C (102F). that said, correct me if i;m wrong, but good guess that barntech and crew have warm to hot climates in mind with regard to heatsinks so either should be more than adequate regardless of where you live. if you were in the russian winter type situation, you MAY be able to get away without them altogether or go the passive cooling route which saves another fraction off your electricity bill. if power is expensive in your locale this could be a contributing factor to going passive rather than active, and realistically, it's not going to get cheaper. shit in finance inflates, you don't hear about deflation often. everybody's predicament is different tho so one solution probably wont be exactly right for the next person, same as the all the random bullshit i'm reading regarding power supplies. more food for thought ladies, if there's something wrong with the flavour, cook your own fucking brunch next time... |

another delivery received. awsome to deal with. my only issue was aussie post doesnt want to work weekends  I got the blue color and red color on the right. i handt noticed that the left red and blue were different until just now. i might need to order 2 more  You got the shiny red one on the right of that pic? Strange - I thought all the ones from that batch were the plain red. If colour is important to you - let me know and I'll open the individual boxes to confirm, as both the red and metallic red/purple arrive in boxes with the same red sticker. doesn't bother me but thought it was worth mentioning, the red ones i got were shiny with the pinkish colouring through it too... just figured they were like that tho, but i'd be interested in some of the darker red if available. |

i had one like that strapped to my old pentium 2 so it'd overclock better. what a weapon. power supply wouldn't fit in the box, had to put that on top of the box and borrow a hole saw to feed m/b and hdd power cables through. reminiscing now, those were the days... |

as i am sydney local, sent a pm to barntech offering my services for free in any way i can to help get these out quicker when arrive. while my offer hasn't yet been accepted, i am calling on other sydney locals in this group buy who might be able to help him out in any way they think they can.
even if only for a few hours, if you can only do simple packing/labeling, or you might be good with a soldering iron, or you can drive, or you might work in a take-away shop or maccas and can provide cheap/free fish 'n' chips or whatever for lunch, you might not even be sydney local and just be able to respond to messages on his behalf, as i'm sure he is probably getting a whole bunch of same/similar questions from different people, but i don't know. i don't know what he needs really or if he needs anything at all, but no matter how mediocre the task you think you can perform, please list your skills and then at least if barntech so desires, he might be able to assemble a 'crew' to get these boards out quicker.
if the boards get out quicker, we get them sooner. if we get them sooner, we can mine sooner. if we can mine sooner, we can make more coin. do you want to make more coin? i know i do.
cheers ladies.

Got stuck at the fact I don't know how to tell each instance to use which devices in the config file or file parameters.
When you run bfgminer dont you pass it information about the devices to use? like: bfgminer.exe -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username -p password --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM4 You can then save this as a desktop shortcut or some kind of .bat to autorun on boot. Then create a duplicate of this specifying different com ports for each of your devices and different worker details. There is probably a better way to specify this in a config file but I have forgotten how. I'm sure someone else with clearer instructions will come along. this is more or less exactly what i did when trying to compare different payout methods. you can run multiple instances of cgminer and mining_proxy.exe from the same directory and just have a couple of batch files on your desktop, or in the directory itself with shortcuts on the desktop with the different settings you require. for example: proxy1.bat mining_proxy --host pool-host --port pool-port --stratum-host 192.168.0.1 --stratum-port 6161 --getwork-host 192.168.0.1 --getwork-port 6162 --no-midstate proxy2.bat mining_proxy --host pool-host --port pool-port --stratum-host 192.168.0.1 --stratum-port 6163 --getwork-host 192.168.0.1 --getwork-port 6164 --no-midstate cgminer1.bat cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM13 -S //./COM16 --url 192.168.0.1:6161 --userpass user.worker:password cgminer2.bat cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM17 -S //./COM22 --url 192.168.0.1:6163 --userpass user.worker:password of course, substitute your own ports/ip's/comms/usernames/passwords where required. these are copied from my own batch files which use cgminer 3.1.1 and i DID read somewhere that later versions require you to drop the "//./" from the comm port settings or you will run into problems and start pulling more hair out. from my experience using getwork even on the local network yields about 5% less return (interested to know other peoples results regarding this) so unless you have a reason tto use getwork or problems using stratum, i recommend using stratum from the pool all the way through to the client. if you use the latter method, you can still edit the batch files directly from the desktop shortcuts with a right-click -> edit. to edit the shortcut itself you need to right-click -> properties. cheers ladies. |
