1  Bitcoin / Hardware / Caution - BFL Single Powersupply on: September 24, 2013, 03:55:22 AM
Read this post and thought I'd share my experience as well...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=298826.0

I received my single a week ago after 13 months of bullshit.  Anyways...

I wanted to test the powersupply before hooking up the miner.  I plugged it into the top receptacle of one of my 20A circuit.  Bottom receptacle is powering a 1250W powersupply for a 4x GPU LTC rig.  The instant I plugged in the PSU, the LTC rig restarted itself with 1 GPU no longer spinning.  Tests revealed later that the PCI-e socket which the now fried GPU sat in, is also dead as no other cards work when plugged in.

I dug up an old thinkpad from 10 years ago, hooked up the Single to it and had it hashing so the PSU does work.  Only thing now is that at random times for random durations, it produces an ear piercing high frequency scream like some futuristic sonic torture device.  The scream makes me all nauseous for some weird reason so I've put the whole unit in the shed for now...

Anyways, as noncecents pointed out in the aforementioned thread, if you don't want to take any chances whatsoever, you are better off to buy your own seperate powersupply and not bother with the BFL one.
2  Bitcoin / Mining / Pool recommendations on: September 13, 2013, 06:02:57 AM
I havn't done BTC in over a year.  I used to use BTCguild but they've closed my account due to inactivity.

Finally got an email from BFL saying my single has been shipped.  It only took a 13 months so I guess I'm considered lucky.
Anyways Im looking for any pool recommendations as I've been out of the BTC scene for a bit.  Thanks in advance.

Has anyone here made any pre-order purchases with ASX Project? and if so have you noticed their website no longer functions?
