lol.....
it is STill the same number of watts, it is not magic you do not get anything for free......

Yes they are switched mode PSU they work from about 95-350V,  they really do not care if they have been on 110 before.

Only point is to make sure there are no dust bunnies and they have GOOD ventilation round the components because at 240 the break-over distances will be reduced  if it is damp.

Cartman land ... and you cannot come.

Australia has good incentives on solar power.
The government pays you to feed surplus power into the grid and you get sponsorship to install solar.

go do it, then use it to support your mining.
I have a couple of rigs I sent to my parents in Australia and they run them off the solar.

I think you need to do WAY more research... at >2GH/s pay back is currently $10USD a day putting even the cheapest FPGA at several hundred days for ROI.

The issue is NOT VHDL or 'engineering'  but rather the base cost Vrs return on the FPGA.
Absolutely the CHEAPEST way to do FPGA mining is by buying EBAY scrap, but even that is a declining 30days ROI. Putting me safely in the goldilox zone of 100 days.

Even your own Lancelot >4 months before ROI, plus you are talking a DELAY of 2 MONTHS before you can deliver this....
Which makes your ROI 6 months.......

It is nothing to do with being a troll, it is about trying to instill the requirement for a little research before posting on a subject.

Never trust anyone who uses the word "wanna" or 'like' in a sentence, generally it signifies an underage human with poor logic and communication skills.
Such beasts rarely make good business partners.

if he sends me his banking details I will get right on it.......

Don't do it.......

you are about to put several hundred GH/s into  the hands of a complete stranger..... also 300MH/s will not ROI for 2 BTC

Seriously If someone cannot even be bothered to do the least amount of research possible, then we as professionals should assist them as much as possible on their journey of laziness

Yes they are.. that is why they gave them the same names... don't let anyone tell you differently.

Please tell me that is your garage/extension and not your house.......

Don't buy these cheap 10-12 way hubs, they are Cu**t designs

open one up and take a look
The PCB layout is along the lines of :

CHIP: con:con:con:con :CHIP:con:con:con

Rather than
con:con:CHIP:con:con: con:con:CHIP:con:con

So the USB lines are twice as long as they need to be, and they run 4*USB signals  in parallel tracks side by side with no Guard bands

Then the PSU is just plugs STRAIGHT into the powerfeed for the chips... and back into the computer no VARs no blocking diodes.....

To safely power down your driving  CPU you have to UNPLUG the USB cable first...........


The whole design has been thrown together by some cock sucker in a rice field.

No you cannot.....
Can you See Hong Kong?

Yes I am indeed totally shocked that:

1. It does not run on Safari.
2. There is no F***** zoom.
3. someone would choose such SHITE colours for sea & land masses
4. There is no roll over hash values on the quills.
5. Josh would waste his time replying.

The issue is getting hold of  DECENT fans... not the cheap shite made in a rice field in China
Many of these "fans" are made on cheap molding equipment with shitty tools and low pressure or poor pressure control, this results in the moulded fine parts being like sand paper , generally they do not last long.

Sunon do a "mag lev" series, none of those shitty leaky bearings or stupid plastic split rings to keep the fan blades in position.

They cut the air at 7500 RPM and since the blades have a decent edge, there is very little noise.

It is based on the current 'difficulty' .

I.E
To get the PSU sorted out so that the boards last long enough to get out of the guarantee period before being returned.
As they ramp up production, they will find that significantly more of the product fail to meet expectations or the 'spec' that has been sold to customers (hence the 'dropping' of the hash rate but doubling of the price per unit)

It is the same with any manufacturing operating, however BFL's previous experience counts for FA because they were working with already developed product (FPGA), manufactured to military specification (xilinx biggest customer is the military, anything that does not meet the standard is sold 'down' the supply chain), what this means is the product is F***ing reliable in all but the most abysmally designed products,You can even stick their products upside down and 'dead bug' them with a shitty PSU  and they still work.....
as a result a manufacturer does not get any 'real world' experience in REAL hardcore manufacturing and fault finding.(sticking a  public domain design based on military spec parts in a flashy case does not make you a design expert or 'crypto specialist')


This is relevant because the BFL ASIC is not in this class of design or specification, so it is going to be a complete bitch to rein in...
What does this have to do with your question.....

Well if you are near the front of the list... then you get a unit and you can mine until the fucker breaks down.. send it back and get a 'new one'.. if you are later into the list... good luck on getting a unit.

However if they can crack the current issues they are having.. then all will be well in happy land.

fire suppression is for pussies.

Mine like a man, just remove ALL flammable items, and ensure you vent the smoke.

But if you want to be a pussy go for CO2 , many of the current fire suppression materials will destroy computer & electronic equipment or people..... (yep they don't tell you that)

Buy a cheap fire sensor, link the output thru a relay to  something that just connects live to earth Via a resistor to trigger the ECB on your equipment.

This is why I do not post or reply to posts very often.

Go re-read the  3 way split  (WAY OFF TOPIC) thread and my 3 separate answers to each section.

You will see that this answer was related to a question where the poster was under the assumption that  clock frequency was the sole indicator of the time it takes an algorithm to run.

I merely pointed out that there are times when this does not apply, SPECIFICALLY as an example I highlighted the SCRYPT algorithm that is SPECIFICALLY designed to try and make any attempt to parallel its calculation. go outside the main silicon infrastructure for resources.

and it is THAT infrastructure that sets the overall speed.

I.E you may have a porsche that does 250Mph, but if the roads in Liverpool only allow you to travel at 30 Mph, then it is irrelevant how fast your porsche can go, and the porsche does not set the journey time... the roads do.


To answer your question, If you have to travel about in Liverpool, then you have to get out of your driveway.........

I might consider offering an Escrow service via my company, but I would need to check the legality of it.

What would you guys:

1. Consider as a fair charge?
2. Method to handle fees ?
3. Turnaround time?
4. Best way to identify parties involved incase they want to back-out a transaction before it is finalized.

I would be unlikely to offer it as a web service, but rather as a 1:1 personal service to ensure the security.


Yes I would provide  my Identity details to the parties involved, along with a means to validate the legality of the documents.

That is what I am saying the results are not consistent, the 'get work server' should be 'worse', but it seems it is the most stable.
mmpool.bitparking.com:3333 .. seems to be ok

The miner software is:
https://github.com/TheSeven/Modular-Python-Bitcoin-Miner

Yep I know it is Gash and it is python... but none of the other mining software give me the 'simplers232' RS232 interface
which I use because it is easy to implement in the FPGA's (i know it works, so it is one less thing to check)
I've not found anyone who will   write me some C++ code for a plugin so i can use another  miner
