New stock and new pricing, all units come with a pre-made power adapter(molex to green connector). 7+ orders get free backplane.

Back in stock. I'm receiving more usb units and hubs today. I've also been informed that usb stock has been depleted and they will no longer be manufactured. So, get them while the getting is good! All of today's orders will be shipped out tomorrow morning.
DO YOU THINK I can get a third one to work on the same pc? be fun to try. Depends on how many you are running on each hub. You could always get another cheap controller like beaglebone black or raspberry pi, although I never had any luck with the latter. In fact I've got a defective RPi I'll throw in with the first order of 2 or more hub/ stick combos. Not sure what's wrong with the pi, it resets on me and I haven't had time to take a look at it yet. It may have a bad poly-fuse and easy to fix, or it may be a new doorstop, but who cares, it's free! |

Two out of them is harder to get them start mining, at the very first beginning. and it become harder and harder with each reboot. These two eventually cease to operate yesterday, until now (but still viewable in cgminer console)
I got 2 boards that won't boot up (2nd led keep blinking) but once I turn on the AC to cool the room they boot up in about 1 minute. After that they will hash just fine even with AC off. When a board first starts up, the firmware makes sure the board and chips are cooled down before it starts the self test. This helps ensure the maximum number of engines (cores) will pass self test. LED decoder ringThe LEDs are numbered 1 to 8 with #1 closest to the USB connector and #8 closest to the power and fan connectors. During first power up, LEDs 5, 6, 7, and 8 will light up and LEDs 1, 2, 3, and 4 will indicate a failure code if anything is wrong with the hardware. This happens VERY quickly - in less than a second. If the initial hardware checks are good, #7 will blink indicating it is waiting for the board to cool down. This will always blink for a few seconds even if the board is cold. Then #7 and #8 will blink indicating ASIC self test. After that, 1, 2, 3, 4 will indicate how many jobs from cgminer are waiting to run in the input queue. LED 5 is just a debug output for me but it roughly indicates a job has completed - but sometimes blinks too fast for the human eye to see. Just ignore LED 5. I am working on some firmware updates that will fix most (or all?) of the problems the boards are having. For example, one failure I think I have figured out is occasionally a board will jump to more than 100 GH/s but have 100% hardware errors. I have one board that does this once per day or so and needs to be rebooted. After chasing this for a while, I believe I have finally figured out what is going on and will have a fix in the next release. I am having some serious difficulty getting either of my two chilis to run properly. After replacing my BFL drivers with Zadig v6.1.7600.16385 driver(s) and loading cgminer v3.6.6 I am getting the device to detect but getting the following output: "AVA looking for AVA 0403:6001 but found 05e3:0608 instead" <---which varies at times Any idea what may be causing this. *Also, LED's 7 and 8 are flashing at different speeds (seven faster than eight), while LED's 2,3,4, and 5 are all solid green. Any suggestions you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. Vendor and product ID should be 0403:6014, not sure what that one is. Second id might be a hub(maybe try plugging directly into your controller). WinUSB driver installation can be a real pain when you already have a default set, like FTDI. Were you using bfgminer beforehand? I would suggest completely removing the existing drivers and then reinstalling with winusb. Once Winusb is the default driver for that device type, you won't have to go through the process again with each new device. Don't forget to unplug the device and re-plug it in after installing WinUSB drivers. |

You should put one of those bad PSUs inside of the mattress and try to power 49 sticks.

I have 1 usb hub + 50 brand new sticks available. Last hub-usb combo left from second batch!
|

The mcm psu's are under powered and burn up around 33 sticks.
Ah crap, that's a disappointment. When you say burn up?... |
|

All orders up to now are going out today. I'll send tracking numbers this evening. I still have a few hubs left.

that stain is not what it looks like. LOL I found a great psu it arrives at my house on weds. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/58-12860 use code afc909 get a 15% discount to under 14 bucks plus shipping! shipping is about 10 for 1. if you order 200 usd from them shipping is free. it has a 36 amp 5 volt rating should run a hub easy and they have more then 100 of them in stock. you can wait till wed when I test the one I get. or buy now tip jar below. 1Fo2K52Rz7LZw9fcF5BDdDBjfNaViQ8J3x This PSU looks very promising, and it helps that it's really cheap. Let us know how it goes. |

Every order placed so far, including phil's, is ready to go. I am out of USB sticks but will be receiving more later in the week. At this point I have a few usb hubs I can sell for 1.1 BTC a piece.
|

I'm in for 1 if they're available now please. What address for BTC and total is 1.82BTC correct? Thanks!
I've got 3 left that I can send with sticks. |
|
|

How much for 1 hub + 50 sticks with express delivery to France?
Thanks
USA only for the time being, sorry. |

I've got all 49 hashing using that PSU I found at Frys...
I decided to keep one with this batch for testing as well. I've got a few PSUs I'll be testing and will provide updates on what I find. I've got to say, I like your idea of stacking them with spacers and I look forward to seeing some of the rigs you guys build. |

got mine today . having a few issues but 34 ports work fine. right now I am using a 225 usd sea sonic platinum 1000 watt psu. running 34 ports . I am pulling 117 watts at the wall . not surprised as 34 x 2.5 = 85 watts divide by 70 percent you get 121 watts. so my efficiency is in the 70's
near as I can figure my hub has 2 bad banks row 8- 14 and row 15-21 are powered but do not detect the hubs. 1 lone port does not work in bank 42-49
hard to tell why. one thing for sure it is a nice size for am sticks . you can use just 2 fans to cool it.
I will test more psu's as I would like to find the best one. for running 34 sticks.
it also may be that running this hub on a different pc will allow more then 34 sticks
Is it powering the units and your controller is just not recognizing them? Try isolating the two banks in question and unplugging all other units. |

I received my second batch of USB hubs today. I will update the thread when stock is depleted.
All of today's purchases will be packaged tonight and shipped tomorrow morning. Also, I've arranged for an individual to handle shipments during the day. Starting tomorrow, all orders placed before 11:00 am CST should be shipped same day.

I have a few blades left. I'm still shipping with pre-made power adapters.
