The Chili – 30+GH/s BFL based Bitcoin Miner Assembly

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Well there's a lot of info, but these were great in their day, not so much now. Basically they take 5w of power to make 1mh of hash, 30mh per board, for that same 150 watts you can get about 1gh using a .15w/gh s9 or whatever.

Or find a couple of Sidehack's 2PAC usb stickminers... about 12GHs on standard USB power of 5v 500ma or 2.5W... Still only good enough for solo Lottery mining but beats the pants off of MHs speeds...

Odds are BFGminer might still support them, I know it ran my 10GHs BFL Jala's.

I remember those. I had so many. I wish I kept a few for show and tell.

I did keep the 2 Jala's I started with in late Feb. 2014. Got them from the now-defunct TigerDirect for around $350 each as I recall. Considering Antminer s1's were just recently introduced and still well over $3k at the time, the Jala's seemed a good intro miner. Def were!

Back then never in my life did I EVER think that in around 3-1/2 years my farm would grow to its current 245+ THs...

Oh yes, 30GH, not MH. Man it's been awhile. The cool thing about the Chili if I recall was that the code could monitor each chip's temp and distributed the work to all the chips instead of the engines on each chip. Faster, really cool hack, but was obsolete in a year.

Still have one, got it for .7 BTC if I recall. Don't really see stuff like this anymore, Ant owns the shop.

i still have a bunch of these and arctic accelero ii coolers if someone want.

I wonder if they would be profitable at current mining rates.... Monarchs are, which is beyond insane as are Neptunes. Maybe an underclocked chili could do it. Maybe I should dig mine out and stick a water block on it to see what happens......

There's an incoming difficulty adjustment around 20% upwards in a few hours and probably more upwards difficulty adjustments in the future as the price of BTC continues upwards. It is slightly profitable to run a Monarch at $.10/kWh now, but it won't be in the future and the same'll probably go for these Chilis. I really wish miners these days were as customizeable as the Chilis though.

i have 4 of these mining away underclocked using MONO coolers lol
