So, I took a huge break from the forum, the mining scene in general, and so on, to wait for my X-1 units to arrive. I'm actually amazed to hear that a few people might have received hardware? Is this true?
Now that the hardware is probably well past being useful, just wondering when (if) it might ever appear.
Some have arrived. My X1 was ordered from BA in mid-November and finally arrived last month. First thing I did with mine is power up to test, then tear it (and its power supply) apart for YouTube. Currently running at 1100 (freaks out at 1200 and steps back to 1100 automatically) and drawing 119 watts at the wall. At the moment (current difficulty x current electricity cost x current Bitcoin value) it's making money. Nowhere near break-even once you factor in the purchase price but at least it's mining more than it's using. Difficulty goes up? Not worth mining unless Bitcoin value goes up (or keep mining anyway in case value of mined coins subsequently goes up). Good to know that it is at least working. I ordered my units through Minersource. Hoping they show up eventually (so at least I can get something for my money). |

You'll probably have to wait alot longer. From the main BA thread, they don't even have the case for the X-1 ready, and the LCD screens won't arrive until next week, or something along those lines.
Yeah, I went over to that thread after posting this. It sounds like the shipment notification was in error. Lovely. |

Please read the entire post. They will be shipped as soon as we get them in stock.
Are they not shipping yet? I got a shipment notification from Miner Source on Sunday. |

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to take a second to say I'm sorry about everything.
Thank you for that. I know it has to be frustrating from your side as well. |

At 90 GH/s, I'm getting roughly 0.02/day, so at 60, I'd expect around 0.013 or so at the current difficulty (which just changed around Friday or thereabouts). His estimate of 0.02 per day in that auction is based on the difficulty about 2-3 weeks ago. These last few difficulty increases have really stung. The blown PSU isn't a big deal, in the sense that these units run very well with an ATX PSU, perhaps even more stable. |

If you could convince someone to sell you a box full of Block Erupters at about $1 each, then they'd be great. At about $5/each, they'd be so-so (and still about to be obsoleted, cost-wise). Anything more than that, and they're just not worth the cost anymore.

"250.19174185 BTC are ahead in queue, putting this user's payout after a 10 block delay."
This has been happening a lot this week. Have the payout delays gone up since the trouble last weekend?

For the ANTminer U1 optimization, I can only speak for the Windows version (I'm running Windows 7 32bit so BFGminer 32bit for me). I run the following: bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all -S all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 --icarus-options 115200:2:2 --icarus-timing 2.5=90 I have seen another user further back in this forum run the following: bfgminer -S antminer:all -S erupter:all -S all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 --icarus-options 115200:2:2 --icarus-timing 2.5=90 --weighed-stats I stopped using the icarus settings shown here. It throws off bfgminer's tracking of the average hash rates, plus I found that it reduced my actual work done by about 5%. |

Your definition of "Immediate delivery" and BFL's definition of "Immediate delivery" or "In Stock" etc. are likely very very different definitions.
A peek around the forums will show that in-stock ready for immediate delivery BFL's can still take Two WeeksTM
The Ebay ones would likely ship quicker.
Very true. My "in stock" unit took nearly 4 weeks to get here, ordered at the end of December. |

If you're considering a 5 GH/s Jalapeno, I'd recommend buying 4 Antminer U1 sticks instead. Even with 4 of them, it's cheaper, and they easily overclock to 2GH each, plus they only draw about 2 watts each. So for less money, you'd get 8 GH/s for about 8 watts or so (not sure how much wattage is added with the overclock).

Have you attached an additional load? Some PSUs have issues with staying on without an expected load on one of the other outputs, like plugging a CD drive into one of the molex connectors.

Here is an updated picture of my setup.  Ps: everything in that picture is possibility for sale for the right price(except for the movies & scales). PM me your price. I like the smoke-detector in the mix. Actually a pretty good idea.  |

Got some more small miners, and moved it all to my rack. Nearly filled 2 Anker USB hubs. Half of them are still Erupters, but I'll replace those over time. The three BFLs (by official, not actual speeds) are 5, 10, and 60. The "Cray" nameplate is from an actual Cray. But it's just a nameplate.  |

Just went into failover again. I can always tell because the fan speeds change on my miners for about 30 seconds or so.
I really need to rethink how I'm doing failover. I have it going to Slush's when it fails over, and these short failovers are apparently too short to actually gain anything on Slush. Apparently I get awarded a nice fat 0. |

everyone just clicky the ignore button for Reyhs...we all know this is a great pool...Don't feed the trolls or they get bigger and more annoying  +1 QFT. |
|
|
|
in fact, ignore anyone with under 50 posts because the noobie section is supposed to keep them enclosed with the rest of thier kind
Hey, I resemble that remark...  |
|
|

Would it help if everybody moved temporarily to another pool until everything is sorted out?
Don't have a choice currently, my miners have failed over. Eligius is down for the first time since I started mining on it back in March 2013 (apart from a few seconds here and there). Yep, full failover here as well. |
