Appears to have a Xilinx fpga... a close up shot of the central chip? |

FAIL. like melmo said. moreover item 2 provides PCI slots. Good luck finding mineworthy cards using PCI. |

git cloned compiled for Pi now under testing Hotplug is fantastic (by now I'm running with super user, then I'll work on permissions) BUT I still see orange leds blinking, so the units are randomly idle. How do I set shorter timings? Thanks  P.s. pics of the new PSU incoming <-- in case you want precompiled binaries... planing to setup a repo for pi.. |

 One pi to rule them all... |

when i goto that post and download either 64 or 32 bit, norten then removes the file from my computer after download as it is unsafe? It's Norton that's not safe. Remove Norton now and get back your system resources. Find a real antivirus. It's Windows that's not safe. Remove Windows now and get back your system resources. Find a real operating system. |

got tracking number.
F5-raping of fedex tracking page begins...

Cool novelty but idk if I would buy one for actual mining.
I'm wondering, is there any other use of these usb's except mining? Jokes aside... but if you have say 20 - 50 of these.. and channel the heat into a concentrated space... This would make one good coffee cup warmer. |

 I bought these for > $3. Not very silent, but slight quieter than the fans I had previously. Also this board performs better than my other boards... If u want i can ship these but shipping from Asia is gonna be a bitch. I need to go shopping soon to buy this for my other boards, so let me know soon. I will add markup. |

Probably 2 weeks from the moment someone gets the bright idea to spend next couple of weeks writing code for a device to mine (probably) less than 5 MH/s @ $8 9IMHO the 5 MH/s and 2 weeks is me being optimistic. Edit: Corrected typo. the usb thing is $89 not $8 |

if someone in europe needs that cables just send me a message.
Do you have a part # i can look up to find one here? If you gift me a Lancelot, i could measure and tell you  |

I've got a domestic order for 1, but no tracking number, and its not marked as shipped on the spreadsheet. Wondering if I could get an update? Thanks.
same here for an international order.... i guess arklan is paying up his sleep debt... |

I had similar issues with raspi + hub detecting ztex. Forcing USB to 1.1 solved the issue. Thank you for the suggestion. I had tried that, and various other tweaks, but nothing worked. It looks as if the RasPi likes only a select few USB 3.0 hubs. Quite disappointing, but it's hard to complain about a $40 computer. Another thing to try ... cut/block the +5v connector... I bought a belkin hub ... given that many belkin models are verified to work.... but this one didnt... i had to force 1.1 and it did. So i guess moral of the story is only buy hubs verified to be working... Do you know of such a listing of verified working hubs with the Pi? I am now powering my pi with the hub it feeds |

The Good News
Units Arrived and Unpacked
All Plugged In
Mining Away Alongside The Avalons
The Bad News
The 10-port Anker hub did not work with my Raspberry Pi (Arch Linux) :/ The RasPi recognizes the hub, but it reported errors in trying to recognize the USB Block Erupters. Using a different hub, the RasPi recognizes the USB-BEs just fine. So that's disappointing. I have all 10 running off my Windows desktop for now, until I can figure out a solution. I'd probably order and try a BeagleBone Black instead, but I hear it's still unstable.
Quick note: I had to give the sticks a good push to get them plugged all the way in. It was easy to plug them in enough to receive power, but not enough to connect properly. Had to give 'em a couple extra Newtons to plug all the way in and function. Luckily the Anker hub has a blue LED that only lights up when they're connected correctly.
I had similar issues with raspi + hub detecting ztex. Forcing USB to 1.1 solved the issue. need to add to /boot/cmdline.txt and reboot. Edit: The above is for raspbian... Arch Linux ur on your own. |

Redirect mining power to support the superstition that is religion? Yeah, right. Wait are you telling me that its a superstition that people lived 1000s of years ago and they wrote "details of Jewish life along the Mediterranean, including marriage, medicine and mysticism" ? I agree religion is superstition, but... all religious documents are historically important as it gives a great deal of insight into way of life back then. Maybe something they learned back then which could help us now even. |

ok guys. that's it. ALL the packing is done. now i just gotta spend a few hours at office depot and find an effcient way to get the international ones dealt with. the post office is just hell here, so i'm trying to avoid that like the plague... if office depot maintains their "we can't do international" then i'll go find a fedex office.
obviously, it being 6:30 am, there's nothing i can do until they open at ten.
It's impressive to get up earlier than the post office! Those folks are insane with their hours. Thanks for all your work on this. My problem with post offices are that they close by the time i get up... so have to goto some mall... |

Will happily make a small donation to anyone who can find a 8port that meets the specs required!!!
U cant... AFAIK all usb hubs are 4 port hubs. you can find 7 port hubs that are internally 2 x 4 port hubs.(one port on hub 1 feeds hub 2). So you can get 4 port 7 port 10 port 13 port 16 port and so on... |

I have it in a box with an 8 way power extension, each plug is controlled by one of the relays.
I have modminer quads and found when experimenting with bfgminer and cgminer it required the modminer to reboot when switching so I rigged the relays up to the Pi and modminer quad and some GPU rigs.
I'm going to have to add some more power feeds in though for a new GPU rig as it'll be pulling close to the max output of a single plug at the wall soon.
Really handy when you're remotely tweaking and hard crash a system. Set the bios on the system to power on when there's a power outage so when you witch it back on it starts up again.
Interesting. could i get a relay board to control ATX switch? One that doesn't require doing sorcery with breadboards or soldering? Hardware noob here. If the mining devices are powered by an ATX, then the jumper to be shorted could be controlled thru a relay. Apologies to OP for going off topic. |
