low inventory. less than 10 units on hand at the moment until new inventory arrives (soon)

My understanding is that a pi is included so that the miners can be standalone.
A pi is NOT included, I specifically asked this morning. Only the SD card with the software. is the card bootable then? just pop it into Pi and everything comes up? |

Order placed and received. I even got the free PSUs.
Awesome job as always Canary.
You're welcome! wow, the btc is all over the map today... anyway, it would cost you about $58.50 to buy .1btc on coinbase right now  that's CHEAP!! |

alright now im confused as all hell -_- the rx box is listed at 4000 mbtc but before it was just 4 rocket boxes. so now your saying the rocket boxes only do 450-480 gh/s instead of 600? or is this a different product from the rx-box. another question. do you need the r-pi to run these units?
here's a list of rockminer's products: http://shop.rockminer.com/rocket and Rx-box appear to be different thanks for the clarification, but if somebody like you were to order 4 of the rx-boxes compared to the rockets and resell them they would be very close in price range no? for one individual unit? they should, but you know that supply/demand will kick in... so first batch/es are small and they will fly off the shelves and people might be flipping them for higher. next batch should be much larger and website order could be a good source as long as you are able to buy minimum quantity and/or pay shipping fee. a lot of folks can buy the 4 unit, keep as many as they want and sell off the rest. best way to do this is to hedge your orders by purchasing same amount of btc spent on coinbase. then sell of on ebay for example and cover your bill. or just wait for resellers to sell you a unit or two etc... okay cool. will most likely be interested in one of the units. i will be here to keep posted. the problem is the r-pi. never used one before and it adds extra cost if you have to buy one for every miner. could you not use a pc with usb? I think you should be able to use a PC. rockxie can confirm |

the key here is not the machine, is their 60 days ROI guarantee
on the 4 unit Rxbox. not on rocket. edit: that promo looks to be sold out already... so if you go into the batch that protected ROI, you should have it. new orders are as is it seems. |

here's a list of rockminer's products: http://shop.rockminer.com/rocket and Rx-box appear to be different Is rasp pi included or not if purchased from rockminer site? If not, do i have to load software on a microSD card, then buy rasp pi, then what? What cables are needed? USB, ethernet? I understand that some of us already went through this, but some explanation is in order. For example, rockminer site does not list WHAT is included in order. Goods description is a basic selling info. yes. it's a new company, they are working things out to have everything clearly spelled out. another source is this thread. roxie already posted a link to an image for Pi you can use that has cgminer which will run these units. similarly, there are post on these forums on how to load a Pi and if you install/compile latest bfgminer, you can run rockminers hardware using Pi with latest bfgminer |

oh geez!! you should stick to rockminer's product names/designations... I'm already getting PMs about "crossbow 440". there's not such thing... there's the rocket, per rockminer. which will perform in the 450-480 Gh/s range It was brought to my attention by our lawyers that X-box MIGHT get us in trouble with MS, silly enough as it sounds. it's not an xbox. see here: http://shop.rockminer.com/goods.php?id=36 |

And just to clarify - we can purchase starting 6/25 on the website or through distributors like Canary?
either place. other resellers should get them too. |
|
|
|

With the drop in exchange rate $625/1 btc, the price for 1 unit is $62 dollars.
You can spend your btc, turn around and replenish same amount on coinbase.
Or just spend dollars on coinbase to acquire btc and use them to order rboxes.
Best deal this way.

Single r-box received. Shipped from USA to regional Australia in ~5 working days.
From out of the box to mining in about 25 mins. Updated cgminer, changed drivers and mining began. Combine Canary's price with Dogie's guide and you cannot go wrong.
Excellent product and service all round!
That's awesome news on getting there quick! |

Thanks received order from this weekend! Very much appriciated. Will be back for more shortly!
you're welcome! anytime... |

Suggestions, modifications and brand new designs are all welcome.
I would interconnect the four board's power requirements into a single pair of PCIe connections. I would injection mould or extrude a plastic clip to interlock the handles so they can be assembled into a matrix. I dunno... Current design leaves power flexible... You can repurpose all kinds of older/cheaper PSUs AND when next gen chip is out, you could upgrade one board at a time too instead of replacing whole device if power is interconnected Seen. Edit I would put a provision in to interconnect the four board's power requirements into a single pair of PCIe connections. The idea is to eliminate the requirement to purchase splitters or adapters for larger PSU's to power the system which could be viewed as a negative. There are many of us that have acquired pretty substantial power supplies due to previous system inefficiencies. I would also look at something that can take advantage of connecting to the abundance of used server supplies available out there. If you can demonstrate a cost savings for the entire system through intelligent design and save the customers in areas that won't effect your own bottom line it's a more attractive product at the cost of thinking the full implementation through. The ability to nest miners with relatively inexpensive clips also becomes a savings in not requiring racks to form a stable rig set up. It also predisposes people to continue to buy the same product since it can be added to in a modular manner. AM Lego.  I assume this system is designed to have a host controller like a Raspberry Pi. I would anticipate busses to be able to interconnect as well again reducing the number of lines to the system. I think because of the plethora of different PSUs out there, it's most economical to just use longer pci-e 6/8 pin cables to connect to source PSUs and modify/vut solder as needed. breakout boards for dell/hp/ibm servers come to mind... yes, a host controller can be a computer, a Pi or an x24-specific microcontroller (perhaps will be released here too), 32 boards can be linked together (8 devices) the controller connects to one board, rest are cascaded (serial connection). |

And 13% extra efficiency is BEFORE PSU so in the end it's more than 13% extra efficiency. SP10 is ~1w/gh at the wall. rk-box is ~1.15w/gh at the wall. Default for SP10 is 0.85W/GH and can go down to 0.7W/GH if needed. RK-BOX is 1.15W/GH and nobody knows if it can go down if needed or not. More likely not. I don't see why not. since BE200 chip supports a range of frequencies. |

heading out to USPS to drop off orders up to now.

do you need to have the r-pi to be able to control the rx-box?
pretty much anything that can run an instance of latest bfgminer can control it... |

Ghash.IO is an awesome pool... I started my mining journey at Slush's late last year and have been with them until about a week ago. I won't go into a long, drawn out explanation but I'm making almost double the amount on Ghash than I was on Slush and BTC Guild. BTC Guild was slightly better than Slush but Ghash beats them all by a very large amount of btc payout. I am running 6 overclocked antminers and I was making about .075 btc per 24 hours; I had no idea that the average was this low before I did some calculations. I decided to give BTC guild a shot and was making about .1 btc per 24 hours. I started mining with Ghash this morning at 11am and 13 hours later I am already up to .08 btc; after just 13 hours! I don't know what is causing this huge pay discrepancy but I hope this keeps up.
if you don't know why you see this short term difference then you don't know B/bitcoin. |
