Tough to say - the build is from the same day those changes went in.

Here's one from just a couple days ago:

They never did. If you name them the same you won't get duplicates. There's no other way to prevent them from being submitted to MobileMiner.

Edit: You can also disable Network Device detection from within the advanced settings

Yes, but I think the ZeusMiners are ~20% less efficient and ~20% more expensive.  Alpha Technologies is also giving us 200MH/s in hosted mining power.  That shouldn't be taken lightly.

I am nervous about not paying for the remainder of our order while we can, but I'll roll the dice and see how it goes if we want to see how far this rally will run.

As far as improving cooling efficiency is concerned, I do have some thoughts which I intend to put into practice if ever I'm gonna end up getting them.  I would like to offer my ideas as suggestions.  But first, I'd appreciate it if you could provide me more information.

Do you have both the earlier (blue case) and the current (black case) versions?  If so:

1.  Is the blue one equipped with the 1000W PSU and the black ones with the 1300W PSUs or is it just a random thing?

2.  Can you please confirm that the RasPi location has been shifted closer into the "hot" exhaust airflow of the adjacent module in the current (black) version which is my observation
     based on the pictures above?

3.  Can you confirm if the current (black) version is equipped with 120mm x 120mm x 38mm fans (the above photo seems to show that it does).

It's ironic and a shame that I have to resort to extracting these information from you and not from Bit-Tech themselves.  Therefore, I apologize if this inquiry is an inconvenience to you.


The cutouts on the back (exhaust side) of the Bit-Tech miner are indeed small and restrictive compared to that of the Dragon miner which has very large cutouts.  However, the ports/connections on the Bit-Tech miner are all on the back side and nothing whatsoever on the front.  So, these are my thoughts to hopefully improve cooling efficiency which I already mentioned on another thread (Lee's I think):

1.  Employ V-Air (Vertical Airflow) configuration which is more efficient in dissipating hot air which naturally rises.

2.  Install inexpensive furniture rubber feet on the front of the case and let it stand on it so that the exhaust side is now on top.

3.  Reroute all cables/wires so they do not obstruct the airflow between the modules and the exhaust cutouts.

4.  Optionally, two or three spare 120mm fans can be mounted on top of the exhaust cutouts in a "pull" configuration to further aid in expelling hot air from the top side of the case.
     Cutting out sections of the exhaust panel to allow the pull fans unrestricted airflow is also an option but this obviously affects the resale value of the device not to mention that
      it is more involved.

5.  Since the RasPi is now at the top side of the case in this configuration where hot air accumulates, it could be an issue.  The solution is to move the RasPi away from the closest
     module towards the bottom and near the intake fans.  The Ethernet cable can then be threaded through the case cutouts where the RasPi ports used to be.

Should you decide to implement these mods, please let us know of the results.

Thank you.

I don't handle escrow for what's listed in OP, have never spoken with OP or OP-pretender, and haven't publicly offered escrow service for a couple weeks. Fwiw.

The PIZZA coins go on sale starting MAY 22, NATIONAL PIZZA DAY.
They are available for one month only.
Bitcoin Information got his early on account of the fact that it was his birthday, and it was a personal gift from myself.
He is the only one to have one early.

I'll post some pictures soon, and get the PIZZA PARTY STARTED.

Odd that you would post here TradeFortress...

Anyway, it seems we have received a payment from TradeFortress for BTCINVEST shares that were purchased on BitFunder.  A whopping 0.009951 BTC.

These guys are scammers and if they are not their name has been hijacked by some and their skype accounts. my recent story with them:

said kluge had done his escrow, so contacted kluge, he never had any dealings with ali or bittech.

 i asked him which city kluge was from he said illinois, buffalo grove, lie.
and his english was more broke than the banks! then i asked wheres david, their tech guy, he said hes around i said whens he back in germany i want to see him(hes not from germany i dont know where hes from) he said next week, but instead of sending it in his skype account he sent it in the fake bdk_kluge escrow account, lol, then deleted it straight away.

ill try to insert a screenshot pic.

i just dont get it they seem to have delivered machines also in earlier posts.if this wasnt you bittech contact me i still want machines, seb ju escrow.

Thanks for posting OP. Couple of questions... you mentioned that it asks you to make a backup. Is that so that you can recreate the wallet if you lose or break it? Does this mean I could buy two or more and essentially make a duplicate so that I could ship one to my brother etc?

ok the OP made maybe 3 small points, but can someone do a proper review, you know on that contains details, actual details.

EG
1. is it a re-coded phone that still has all the antenna and phone chips inside
2. has the android software had all phone related code removed, to ensre it cannot communicate wirelessly with a simple 'enable' button.
3. is it so secure that it never requires connecting to a PC, for any updates, syncing or any reason at all. to avoid trojans/exploits

in my eyes i could have wrote the exact same review without even handling, testing the hardbit. so please OP get into better detail about the chips in side, the OS, security risks, exploitability.

for instance just this small sentence alone " There is also a USB power cord and dongle to plug it in." already makes me question the exploitability of it. a proper review does not leave more unanswered questions then before the review is read.

please dont make reviews that are harmonic, pleasant, and PR positive for the company. instead be honest, detailed and explain the benefits AND risks.

Hardbit recently started shipping the Hardbit HB01 Bitcoin Hardware Wallet.  The HB01 is a low cost offline, secure, cold storage solution for your bitcoins that still allows you to use them when you want. The Trezor wallet is just starting to ship pre-orders and Butterfly Labs has still not shipped their hardware wallet (or anything at all for that matter). This has left a huge gap in the market for a stand-alone solution to offline storage that is not a paper wallet or a complicated DIY method.
Hardbit has stepped into that gap with the HB01.

My first impression of the HB01 is that it is rugged and small. It also looks like a mini cell phone with a touch screen and camera on the back.
Size:
2.5″ Touch Screen
48 x 88 x 12.8mm

It comes with an extra 900 mah lithium battery. There is also a USB power cord and dongle to plug it in.

It does not come with a paper manual. There is a manual on the unit itself. The PDF is available in english on the Hardbit site. It is helpful but upon turning on the HB01 it walks you through setup very simply. It requires an Android app which I found easy to use during setup. As it is not transacting Bitcoin it also helps keep your Bitcoin safe.  There is not an app for iPhone as we all know Apple is anti-anything-they-do-not-control.

The interface is clean and easy to use. The screen is easy to see and glare not an issue when scanning the QR code.  In the directions, they stress making a secure password and also to make a backup.  One of the ways that the HB01 works is to allow for a backup. This way if your HB01 is lost or broken you still have your Bitcoin. The ability gives a bit more of a sense of security when using the HB01.

I wasn't at the conference, sadly. Meeting Joseph was, well, amazing. There is no other word to describe it, haha. He is a humble and kind person. He gifted me a Pizza Party Anniversary coin for my birthday and a neat little Bitcoin keychain. We talked about all kinds of stuff. BitID, the conference, alpaca socks and so many more things which I can't remember. It sucked that he had to leave at 8PM, but he had a plane to catch. Not much I could do about and it was an awesome evening after all and that is all that counts.

I don't have any picture, because I simply didn't think of taking one. I think Joseph has a few, so you should ask him about that

That was a great article and fun to read! Well done.

Oh by the way, Joseph and I will be meeting up this Saturday and I am super excited about that.

I just checked it out and it was a quick flash with nothing noticeable around it (like a logo or a text). Someone who doesn't know the specie project, won't recognize the coin, sadly.

You should be able to use the OSM with some work-around arguments until they fix their FW. You'll need BFGMiner compiled from the Git repo. Check the documentation here:

https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/commit/12bbee661c8421bdaed6e38746f504fde934d7c9#diff-2aeeb1358e42d18b6f41b9def0210860R223


Unfortunately I still haven't been able to get a hold of one of these. Tried a bunch of folks with no takers.

Thanks again for the suggestion and for filling me in on SGMiner's Scrypt-N compatibility.

Can you give this a shot?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpm4cecnx0g95n9/MultiMiner-3.0.0.zip

Now you can use Vertminer or SGMiner for Scrypt-N and the correct argument will be passed. In addition, SGMiner is now the default for Scrypt-N (though it won't affect you since you have already messed with the settings). Finally, the Daily Estimated $USD is now fixed for SGMiner miners.
