Thanks for sharing the username. Please remember, I will not contact anyone soliciting payment to another address. The address in the original post is the only address I will be accepting payments with. That includes shipping and peripherals.

As far as batch 4 shipping goes, I don't have an exact time line, but it should still be in the range of oct 8th-27th.

Basic networking skills are required. You should have a good idea of what pools you want to use before receiving your unit. If using ASICMiner's Block erupter controller, I recommend looking through dogie's tube guide, skipping to the configuration section.

If using a raspberry pi, I will be providing a custom rpi image for all of my customers. DHCP will be enabled, so you will need to be familiar with finding new devices on your network. I suggest using "Angry IP".

The user interface for the rpi image will be Minera. At minimum, I will be replacing the default cgminer build with AMs custom version. If I have time, I will instead modify the selection list and add AM's build as a separate release alongside the main build, including a method to update the AM build.

For more information on "Minera" please visit their Github repository:

Any of Batch 3 left? I will buy one.

Batch 3 sold out. 9 left in Batch 4

Batch 3 order has been placed. We are waiting on a response from friedcat to determine if the price increased between batch 2 and batch 3. In the event the price increased for batch 3, you will be given the option of paying the difference or receiving a refund.

4 units left. I'll be placing the order for Batch 3 tonight.

Scammers are starting to show up and it appears user "CrazzyGuy" has solicited one Prisma's worth of bitcoin from a potential buyer. Please be careful and closely regard the username in communications. Note that scammers are looking for targets by PM'ing users that post their interest in group buy threads. The easiest way to protect yourself is to PM me instead of posting in this thread.

Partial refunds have been issued to early buyers. 6 units left in batch 3.

If anybody else had problems running rockminer software on the new pi B+, I found a easy work around.

Use a regular pi B, set everything up in the rockminer webui like you need it.(Make sure it's correct, because you won't be able to see/change it after work around)

Still using regular pi B, ssh to it(with putty or something similar) and put the next three lines below.

Note: The first one takes 2-3 minutes, the second takes 10-15 minutes and comes back with one error.(The error is ok)

Log in: root
Password: rockminer

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo poweroff

Now take the card out of the regular pi B and use in pi B+
It works great, but when u access the webui it's blank(just says "welcome to gnix")

Thanks for sharing your solution. As for the "welcome to nginx" message, I'm thinking the "apt-get upgrade" overwrote some of the web server configs.

Make sure this line exists under the "http" section in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf :

Code:

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

Make sure you have these two lines in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default within the "server" section:

Code:

root /usr/share/nginx/www;
index index.html index.htm index.php;

Finally, make sure /usr/share/nginx/www wasn't cleared out or replaced. This is where the rockminer website resides.

We are all waiting to hear. There may be a funded Pi image if they do not get something going soon.
The Novak has the outline and research ready to go if need be. :-)

If you have shell access, you should be able to grab ASICMiner's branch of cgminer(once it's available), build cgminer, and replace the cgminer binary with your custom build. API calls should be unchanged, so the web interface should work. ASICMiner recommends a maximum of 4 Prismas per RPI.

OK, after this reply from Mineras' developer I'm very optmistic.

Now it all comes down when AM / friedcat will publish the source code for their patched cgminer fork. Any info on that?

Because if I order a bunch of Prismas I want my control units (Raspberry PI with Minera) be ready when the Prismas arrive for immediate deployment.

I am providing a RPI image for my customers. If there is interest, I will include the Minera user interface.

I know for most users the following question is a non-issue.

Let me explain why it is a issue for me. I rent rigs out via MRR. I have 16 Antminers currently and each unit has its own user on MRR. This lets me more granularly set pricing and see how rigs are doing. I don't mess in the altcoin space, but am willing to let miners who understand these things pay for hash time.

So here is what I want to know:

1. Can I run 2 Prisma on a single RPi (or Cubietruck) and then assign them to different pools/users with one instance of cgminer?

2. Do they get distinct IDs so feasibly you could start cgminer specifying the device to use?

Thanks

I don't believe cgminer supports tying a pool to a device within one instance. You could load balance over multiple pools, but it would be sending a percentage of work from both devices to each pool.

You can start up an instance of cgminer with only the devices you specify by using the "--usb" option. You can then run an instance of cgminer for each Prisma. I am unsure of how many cgminer instances an RPi can handle.

What is the sound like on these? How many Db?

lol gotta be quieter then the cointerra IV it will be going next to in my office Grin

I've considered replacing a hot air baloon burner with 2 Cointerra IVs and travelling accross the globe. Around the world in .80 BTC...

I've got a few B2 S3s up for sale @$299.99, never overclocked.
1 Repaired AMV1 for sale @$199.99 (310gh/s)
2 Rboxes left @($99.99)

So what's necessary to get MinePeon working with Prisma? Just the appropriate USB driver for Prisma, and where to get it?

How many Prismas could possibly be connected to one control unit running MinePeon?

It really comes down to the control unit, if the Prisma is a go or no-go.

Will this unit fit in a 4U case? If no, is the unit able to be deconstructed to fit within a 4U case?

It would be tight, but possibly if you reconstruct it without the handles. You could also remove each blade/heatsink and line them up in the case.

Are we still 3/10

I've been debating on getting in on this and was wondering how quickly you guys think this will fill up...

Shipping to me is Oklahoma City to pretty close to home.

Also I didn't read 100% all the responses...What happens if Batch 3 never fires? What is the time frame to get the bitcoin back?

Anyway, tentatively going to do this(I just got a circle account and would have to purchase the coin mind you)

I hope all is well!

Also FIRST POST!

Yes, 7 left. If we don't hit 10 by deadline, I will purchase the remaining spots myself and put the order through.

Hey CrazyGuy did you ever send out the partial refunds?

I'm not trying to bust your balls, I didn't receive mine and I'm just making sure I didn't missed.

Either way thx for setting this up, always a pleasure my man...

I haven't sent any out yet, look for a PM this evening. Partial refunds will come out of the group buy address.

Any idea on the batch's expected ship date's Huh

It depends on when we place the order. I'll put in the order for batch 3 as soon as we hit 10 units or the batch end time. ASICMiner is still scheduled to begin shipping between October 8th and 27th.

You da man Grin

Good deal just got better thanks

Do you have a tipping address so I can return a small amount of thanks for being so awesome?

No tipping necessary, but I do have an address under my profile that anyone is welcome to frequent

I won't get to the partial refunds until tomorrow, but I'll be sending to the paying address unless directed otherwise. Optionally , I can provide a free BE controller with your order.

Thread updated with new price. Batch 1 and 2 orders will be compensated with a .07 BTC refund for each unit purchased. Additionally, I will be shipping each unit with a free AntMiner jumper switch.

I have an issue on one of the 3 r-boxes it is running very hot compared to the other 2.
Not sure what to do.

Not the psu. tested problem is the same unit.
set at lower freq 290 vs 320 helped just a bit.

I have not disassembled unit to see if heatsink paste needs a change.

fans work one unit just runs hot.

It did not run hot when it first came.

so failing chip or heat sink paste fali are indicated

please advise

I remember seeing a photo of your 3 units stacked vertically. Is that the center unit by chance? Regardless, try isolating it from the others and see if it still runs hot.

@CrazyGuy

i have a10 cubieboard i dont want to use rpi is that usable on this prisma?

thank you?

Yes, any modern controller that has USB ports and you can compile CGMiner on should work.
