Why are you shitting up the BitMinter pool thread with this off-topic bullshit? FFS! This is not the place for it, you attention-starved dimwit!! Keep your huge fucking pictures in the "Pictures of your Rig" thread, idiot. While I agree that that post was somewhat off-topic, your language and stance, Henchman24, is not socially acceptable. Please be so kind as to use a more moderated form of language in your future posts. In general, be friendlier.  philipma1957, you are welcome to move your post to my topic discussing all the hub/USB related stuff: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0 (It is also mentioned there that RPi has a 49-device limit). you are polite and I thank you. |

I found out that when I exceeded 125 sticks cpu use went nuts and the 125th stick read endless errors. not sure if the pc or bitminter software is the issue. windows 7 has a 127 usb device limit for 1 controller. this pc has a 5 port pcie usb card with a second controller so I should be able to go to 240 sticks or even 250. So when I got past the 127 device limit the cpu went nuts and the last stick added com284 just read endless errors. in the photo below it is at 6000 and change and counting up really fast
USB does use CPU interrupts though, it's not DMA, so possibility of too many devices doing something odd. I would however suspect that external bus speed is more to do with it than CPU ooomph in this day and age, so possibly that could be something to look at. I will tell you what. I will remove the photo of the power used and I will remove 1 of the photos of the 3 rigs. But as for off topic the sticks run on bitminter and I am have pm's with long discussions of cpu use issue when a lot of sticks are used on one device while running bit minter so the shots that show the cpu jump and the triple hub setup will stay. |

If they are talking weeks worth of delay, about all you can assume is that their chip failed. I'd be wanting to take any refund offered just as soon as it was offered.
Well, no update or even a PR statement, this is disrespectful to the customers, sorry I mean R&D investors at this point. This sucks! Lets get this sorted with a vote , my vote is refund. +1 Silence speaks volumes. Voting for refund. I vote refund also, it's been 2 days since they were supposed make an announcement and nothing. This is bullshit! yeah they may be a new bfl |

Speaking of your stick issue, I would be usin gan rPi, how many sticks do you think I could used on a model b 512mb rPi ?
I was thinking of 32, usin two of those 20 port hubs we talked about. Four ports on each hub would be used for fans in the 4 corners leaving 16 slots each hub for 32 in all and roughly 10.6Ghs until I saved the apital for bitfurys which would then put me at 70.Ghs assuming each bitfury runs at 2.2. Either way it'd be a lon damn while before I even got to that poin considering best case scenario they go or $100 a piece which would total 3.2g's for all of them lol.
Not sure but 32 sounds possible. as for the blue/red fury super sticks wait for them as of yesterday lots of issues running them |

I finally setup 3x 49 port hubs each one has about 40 -42 sticks . Edit I setup the 3 rigs on one pc to make an effort to see the max sticks on a pc running bitminter Doc H wanted to know if I had come across the problem of really high cpu use with a lot of sticks I told him no but I had never run more then 113 sticks. I was not going to buy a third 49 port hub but I wanted to help doc h out. since he was concerned that he may have a program bug. so I spent 1.82btc to run a super test for doc h and bitminter since I choose to support the doc and his pool. so this was on topic with extra info (2 shots of the hubs not 1 and a shot of power used) Note to Henchman24 I pulled 2 of the photos to accommodate your request for size reduction. Please accept my apologies for going over the top on the photos. some photos  I found out that when I exceeded 125 sticks cpu use went nuts and the 125th stick read endless errors. not sure if the pc or bitminter software is the issue. windows 7 has a 127 usb device limit for 1 controller. this pc has a 5 port pcie usb card with a second controller so I should be able to go to 240 sticks or even 250. So when I got past the 127 device limit the cpu went nuts and the last stick added com284 just read endless errors. in the photo below it is at 6000 and change and counting up really fast  I pulled the stick out and have been running the 3 hubs with 122 sticks at 40.6 gh dead stable for a day. 3 hubs 3 extra psu's shot of the 3 hubs  everything uses 483 watts when you figure the value of the heat ( weather is cold in NJ, USA) My net power drops from .16 cents to .10 cents a k watt. So today I sold a coin for 260 at coinbase. So at 511 mill diff for the next ten days this will earn .4btc worth 104 usd power used will be 11.57 net gain will be 92.34 usd. if diff jumps to 664 mill the setup would do .33 btc worth 88 usd minus 11.57 power = 76.43 usd. even at 2 bill it would earn money about 1.50 usd a day |

doc you have a working blue fury stick . I can't get my red fury to work. As is the same for a lot of other miners on this thread.
I am wondering if it is more the gear then anything else.
If you want I can ship this to you via us mail as a broken part for testing/repair.
No value no taxes.
You can test it against the working one you have.
Just PM me a mailing address I know it is an overseas shipment but If I recall it is only about 12 usd for me to ship it.
Having 2 units one that works (your in hand blue fury model) and one that does not (my red fury) may allow you to troubleshoot this gear.

are we still at a reduced speed 2.1 th
out of 3.4-4.2 correct?

We also price our shares in USD so you don't get screwed over by BTC volatility. So I need to deposit $113 + 3% to www.cashintocoins.com and transfer the resulting bitcoins (varies) to dzminercoop. The exact amount in Bitcoins (exchange rate) is unimportant. Right? Cashintocoins is a site like coinbase however you pay in cash, you deposit USD into their bank account and they send you coins, here is their how to guide https://cashintocoins.com/pages/how.phpUnderstood. I'm just trying to verify that if I give them $113 + 3%($3.39) = $116.39 and they send me the resulting bitcoins / bitcoinaverage.com, then that is all I need to send to satisfy my share price. I guess I'm over analyzing the effect of the exchange rate in the transaction. yes you are and you may as well buy a little more 120 worth to be sure. less aggravation to be .01 btc over rather then .01 btc short. just keep the left over in the btc address that the share will pay to. when you place the order from dz's coop you get an email with a btc number around .47 btc it stays locked for around an hour or so. then order the coins fronm the coin changing company |

ASICMINER just released
30GHs USB miner
the cube and it is not a usb miner it will be plug-able into a usb port. but it will need an external psu. cost will be 1.99 btc Price is not confirmed yet. Link? 1.99 btc 1 week wait if some reads German well this links has a watts figure. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=245990.msg3465116#msg3465116I think it is 3 blades well packaged into a cube with a usb interface. if so that is about 225 watts but I do not know. this would be close to equal to a bfl single. heat noise size ? but if it is a better blade setup it will need a good fan and not be small. if it sells for 2 btc and it hashes at 35gh it is 7x the power of this. if it pulls 225 watts it is not a game changing piece of gear. ie a well polished set of 3 blades is nice but not what i wanted. meanwhile my red fury will not run on bitminter and I tried 4 computers. |

okay I cancelled my order here and I order 1 red fury.
simple question has anyone got one of the blue furies to run on bitminter? with the java client?

I've noticed the BF1 shows up in the Network prefpane as a modem, as do the BEs.
27" iMac; OS X 10.9; Java 7; 10x Block Erupter; 1x BitFury BF1
I ran a mac mini on 10.8 with just the bf1 and i get the probe of port cu.usbmodem1a12711 failed timeout |

Did you install the bf1.inf ? On Windows 7 I had to do that. On Mac OS X I didn't install anything, it worked out of the box. There's a blue fury support thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.0 with installation instructions. If you are using Bitminter client on Win 7, you'll need to download the bfgminerwin.zip file and install the bf1.inf from there. You don't need the rest of the files if you're not using bfgminer. okay what mac osx mountain lion? what browser firefox? |

Lenovo 45N0058 135W 20V 6.75A I know the OEM brick wont run full 20, so I do know thatt yes I will need the brick you specified. Either way I will need to use all 20 port even though 4 of them will be used by fans and the other 16 ASICs.
Sorry if I got on your nerves... I just cant afford to burn something out even if that something is as little as $20. Its cool the upgraded brick is not cheap and sometimes writing a clear easy to understand explanation is hard for me to do. I have run my 20 port with 20 sticks I have run it with 16 sticks and 4 fans. all with the better brick.  here is the 20 port in action on the upper left . the better brick is in use. |

one can get a red fury or blue fury for the same price as 1 share here. Red/blue fury mere 2.5 GHS, your share 8-10 GHS. What's the catch?
I will answer that . this is a better deal not that much of a catch for small investment of 113 or 226. for a large investment of 50 shares one could argue there are better deals. buy a knc jupiter btw I have a red fury and still can't get it to work on bitminter. and I have some cex.io shares and I have some asic miner sticks. and I have some shares in a knc group buy. I have sold 1000 usd in ups gear to the coop ( at half price) and I do know the location of the mining site. I am a long term seller on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/usr/philipma1957 ten plus years. |

you use 1 brick at TIME . that hub is a 20 stick hub. THE OEM 90 watt brick is 20 volts and 4.5 amps. the hub converts the 20 volts to 5 volts.
most dc to dc converters are 80%. so the 90 watt oem brick only has 90 x .8 = 72 real watts the 20 sticks pull about 2.5 -3 watts constantly or 60 watts . to run gear 24 /7/365 80% of max is a safe number... so 80% of the 72 real watts is 57.6 watts. This means that the oem brick can safely deliver 57.6 watts under 'perfect' conditions. since your 20 sticks may pull up to 60 watts the oem brick is short just a little.. but the brick I pointed out is 135 watts with the jack an exact match.
So 135 x 80% = 108 real watts at 5 volts then 80% of that is 86.4 watts which is over and above the 60 watts needed.
So the tock brick is just a paper weiht then, I thought you meant you used both bricks lol. I'm still lost in the math on the replacement brick, I thouht you always went by the amperage and since 1 amp is 1000ma / 2 ASIC's since each one pulls approx 500ma then the total advertised amps of the replacement brick would do 13 ASIC sicks. Lenovo 45N0058 135W 20V 6.75A Even then, the amperage on the stock is 4.5 which would be 7 sticks at 500ma each. I know I'm probably missing something here but I've always seen people discuss the amperae as what matters. I just dont wana spend money on something to litterally have it blow up on me. I've already invested just under $200 and I don't even have my hub yet, as far as asics go. I could only afford 4 to start off. okay that 20 port hub can not run 20 sticks with the oem power brick. this is a fact as I own the hub and have tested it with the 20 ports and the oem brick. if you have this hub just run 14 to 16 sticks and you will be fine. |
