It'll be cool when someone solves a block with it. Nice that the dashboard includes..."There are 0 miners dug 0 bitcoins". So we'll know if someone wins the lottery.
It would be cool if someone solved a block with one. The chances of solving a block at today's difficulty with only 5GH is essentially 0, however, so don't hold your breath! And the difficulty is only going up from here... Still, looks like another fun toy to tinker with. I'll probably buy one. I think they will get a good amount of sales as a neat fun toy. On ROI does not make a ton of sense on it's own. If you use as a U3 controller it makes a good argument of saving money if you were using a PC. So the U3 controller I actually see as one of it's biggest features. I think it will help sell some U3's aswell. maybe if they turn the minimum amount down to 1. unfortunately at 20 i dont see many people buying them. they will get them 2nd hand. Or from reselllers. I got mine from crazyguy. He is a great guy and a reseller so I was able to get a few and not order near that 20 order. I suggest if your looking for a U3 take a look at his store. I agree from bitmain on 20 units of U3's is to many. (I get no kickback from this, I just think he has treated me so good I feel safe sending others to him)

Should be possible to port mainline cgminer to it so that it can run all types of USB miners.

It will be a interesting ride on the modding. I predict we see a cgminer for others usb modules. We have seen ports on other bitmain miners where they update cgminer. So there is already history of this happening, so should be very doable. I think modding will be part of the fun with these R1's. We kinda owe bitmain for not locking down any device, and we can void warranty on these things for not a huge risk.

Cross-compiling from another system may be the easiest solution. I had a bit of trouble getting a usb storage device to mount and gave up for the night on building from the device. If you do want to go for it, I suggest using the correct package source. Here's my current opkg config file for reference src/gz barrier_breaker http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages/ src/gz barrier_breaker_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/ dest root / dest ram /tmp lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists option overlay_root /overlay

Easiest way is to just use OpenWRT buildroot for cross-compiles.

It's interesting to see the number connected, 112 at the moment, and still There are 0 miners dug 0 bitcoins ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Yes Modding is the big draw for me. OpenWRT has so much support that things can happen very quickly. As well as supporting other USB Miners, given that it supports a single BM1384 I wonder for instance if it could be used as a Controller for an S5 Hash Board? Although it has been written off by many as a useless Toy I think that a few generations down the line this could be looked back on as being a breakthrough device. Let's hope the concept takes off and they follow up with an R2 with the BM1385 Chip. Rich

Rich I didn't think about the possibility of this being able to be a controller, maybe they will make that a standard option in future miners. I got my R3 today (thanks CrazyGuy!). But so far it's really fun to play with. It seems to be a good controller for U3's. I have 3 hooked up to it right now no issues. I will test it and see how it goes. So far I'm very happy with it.

OK I have read what others have done but can't get it mining on another pool. I think these are the key lines in /etc/init.d/cgminer local _pool1url=antrouter.antpool.com:3333 local _pool1user
local _pool2url=antrouter.antpool.com:443 local _pool3url=vip.antrouter.antpool.com:443 So I am changing first line to the new Pool address _pool1user=":R1:${version}:${paytype}:"${_pooluser}"_"${_mac} and I am commenting out this line Then I am putting my worker ID in the Bitmain User ID box on the Miner Tab Rebooting and.... it's not working. Where am I going wrong? Rich

OK I guess there is more than one way of doing this as your approach seems quite different to what I had read. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I will give it a go. Got to say I look forward to one Day having a proper user interface. Rich

Rich here using winscp goes /etc/init.d/ make sure its marked 0755 http://www.mediafire.com/download/q5ggjpxktobpict/cgminerthis cgminer has cksolo default with nicehash solo as backup.

Try : /etc/config/cgminer ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) the main problem is no password in the sh file.. plus your username will be R1:0:2:btcaddress_mac and cksolo wont accept that ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) i can make a pools tab if anyone wants but in reality there are only 2 solo pools id use.. cksolo and nicehash solo.

Something like this maybe?
option pool1pw 'x' option pool1url 'stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334' option pool1user 'BTC-ADDY'

yeah its setup like this pool1url = conf:taboption("default", Value, "pool1url", translate("Pool 1")) pool1user = conf:taboption("default", Value,"pool1user", translate("Pool1 worker")) pool1pw = conf:taboption("default", Value,"pool1pw", translate("Pool1 password")) conf:taboption("default", DummyValue, "", translate("")) pool2url = conf:taboption("default", Value, "pool2url", translate("Pool 2")) pool2user = conf:taboption("default", Value, "pool2user", translate("Pool2 worker")) pool2pw = conf:taboption("default", Value, "pool2pw", translate("Pool2 password")) conf:taboption("default", DummyValue, "", translate("")) then just make the value in a form you can edit. but what i did was lock the pools to cksolo and nicehash solo and just made it so your bitcoin address goes in the box.. pretty easy.

OK brilliant it all works. Now what would be nice. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Would be as you have it but a way of retaining the original Antrouter Solo Login as a pool plus your two and then a means of selecting the pool order from the screen? I have to say for all the S Series Miners a way of changing the pool order from the Config screen would be great. I am constantly cutting and pasting the order. Many Thanks Rich

I have the R1 on the bench and have now connected a 5V supply, one shock from the mains was enough... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slotforum.com%2Fforums%2Fuploads%2F1444996927%2Fgallery_2150_2322_140613.jpg&t=665&c=hAi-9aXVqhKCtg) I have stuck on a couple of the Mini heatsinks front & back and the temperature seems to be fine. The Core Voltage is 0.61V and is set right at the bottom limit possible from the TPS53355 Buck Coveter. In fact they have coupled the output directly into the VFB input with no resistor to ground. 0.61V should be good for 125MHz perhaps 150MHz but would expect to then be seeing some HW errors, however I suspect you will also need some additional cooling and I do not know how much current the rest of the PSU is good for? I have been running for an Hour at 125MHz (6.9GH/s) and everything seems fine but chip temperature with just the mini heatsink is now at 50 Deg C, time for a fan. Rich
