This is the CGminer that I use with my Zeus miners.  When you compile it, enable options scrypt and Zeus.  This is an updated version and  has extra-nonce subscription built in.  I bet it works equally well with the farm boys.

I doubt that. Even though they share the exact same UART coms the zeus chips and A2 chips on these are completely different. The serial commands needed to prepare the chips and send work to them are most likely not the same.

Im sure there is the source code for the A2's somewhere that could be easily ported over to newer version of CGminer/bfgminer.

It would be interesting to see if they'll open-source the communications part of interfacing with the devices - I can't build a custom CGMiner, so I wouldn't be able to support the miner with my firmware without that I imagine...


yep having to run three with a controller is entry barrier to most people!

3. As daily LTC coins reduced by half, we are making reasonable number of A2 miners during the next couple of months just to replace all obsolete hashing contribution from Zesu and KNC alike.


How do you figure the KNC Titan is obsolete ?

Yours: 60MH, 590w, 1MH/w
Titan: 380MH, 1300w, 3.4MH/w

Titan is significantly better

$500 for 60Mhs, Buy the market leading most profitable/power efficient 60Mhs A2 Farm Boy LTC miners, replace old Zesu

run the best & most power efficient A2 miners at cost that last to make a profit!


 KnC Titans were and remain quite a bit more efficient than the A2 - but A2s are a ton better on reliability.
 The Alcheminer (and rebrands like MAT) was a tossup on power efficiency, pretty much even between one of those and an A2 based unit.

 Too bad you don't make A2 boards in a form factor that can replace the boards on the Gridseed "blade" things.

Yours: 60MH, 590w, 1MH/w
Titan: 380MH, 1300w, 3.4MH/w

Titan is significantly better

 you dropped a decimal point, both of those MH figures would be per 10 watts, not per watt.
 Titan IS still quite a bit more efficient (when it hasn't died yet).

 Alcheminer figures were around 250 MH for 2500ish watts, I don't remember the exact numbers but they're very close to that same 1 MH per 10 watts figure the A2 manages.


 Personally, I'm waiting for the A4, since tapeout on it was "leak" announced a while back.

Hi all Got an email from Chloe and she said quote " We cannot visit bitcointalk website these days due to the Great Fire Wall of China." If you have questions or inquires, email them direct at one of these -- sales@innosilicon.com  ,  zhangq@innosilicon.com.cn  ,  sales@innosilicon.com.cn  -- probably should cc all. Thanks.

Can one bad module cause my terminator to stop working?  How would I go about testing each module? i'm at a loss, and I think my machine fried due to the room getting to hot.  Any information would be greatly appriciated...thanks in advance.

 Try unplugging the bad module.
