What is the power consumption for those of you who have received miners?

With 0.90 on my jup i got almost 850w. With 0.91 a little lower then 500w.

Has there been a consensus on which firmware is best to use right now?

How is it that I paid on June 4, and people who paid on june 8, are already receiving their orders?!?

Because you didn't wash your hand when you last used the toilet.

I never wash my hands after using the toilet so that theory is out the window.

You can setup backup pools the same way you do normally in CGminer.

There's no GUI for the OS (angstrom linux) in this case so no teamviewer type app. SSH is the way to go.

Has anyone tried cgwatcher ?

Does it work remotely?

I never tried it, but it says it does. The "CGRemote" at least.

After a quick glance, It seems cgremote is a different program developed by the same person behind cgwatcher. The prob is that i don't have any windows workstation. So no way to use it.

They most likely honoured my preregister queue number as Paladin69 mentioned, since I paid within the week we were given. And that's nice.

Where can we find this "preregister number"? I only see order number and order status stuff... my order is Day 2 40x: "In Progress"

[soy]

any new order # ready for UPS delivery (think we shall reach until #3000 today) ?

I've a July Merc order #31xx and wonder if that number is fixed or has some relationship that changed the first 500 Jupiter/Saturn pre-order sequence effected it as well.

Are you a 1-500 customer? I can't see my preregister number anywhere on my account either. All I've got is a mail from back in mars or whenever it was we could first register interest.

Was the compensation news only for people that are doing hosting?

And there's the best reason to use the dry hands paper towels for opening the men's room exit door.

Interesting if you're hosting at home - ok I should perhaps narrow it down further to hosting at home in the UK - and were considering power factor correction capacitors to knock down the electricity costs:

"In a domestic single phase power supply, unlike commerce and industry, you do not pay reactive power charges and you do not have a kVA limit so the only one who would benefit from fitting Power Factor Correction would be the supply company since they would need to supply less "kVA" for a given killowatt consumption.
 
kW = kVA x pf.
 
Killowatts are killowatts and the simplest way to save them is to turn things off.
If your machinery is using motors, you may find reducing the voltage to these will save energy especially if they are not fully loaded.
 
I hope this helps.

And both the USB and 5 volt power ports have been removed from the beagleboard?

Really?  Running air conditioning or the refrigerator at 120VAC is more energy efficient than running at 126VAC?  I suspect not.

I use CGwatcher and its fantastic for windows boxes. CGremote sounds promising but there's no way to test it right now unless you're in the beta program.

So nice, not.

I have the FPGA error on al firmwares .90 ,91 ,92 and 93 after about 15 minutes of mining.
Temp is not high as far as i can tel

Wish I had a miner to tinker with. Have not read of any new orders going to production...

I hear ya.  I'm growing really impatient.  I pre-registered and paid within just a couple hours of them starting to take money.  I got stuck with Day 2 order#3xx.

Day 1 & Day 2 being 24 hours apart my arse.

Well, I'm only quoting the electricity guy's message to me. England moved from 240v to 230v for residential supplies a few years ago and everything still works just as well on 230 as it did on 240 but just used less electricity doing it. I'm guessing he's alluding to this. Most people here still think it's 240 because that's what they grew up with and they haven't noticed anything different plus the devices invariably say 220-240v on them

I enabled SSH thought the UI and connected using putty but the user/pass isn't working.  I did change the web login and pass and have tried the original and the new one.   am I missing something?

try root / admin for SSH.  it is different than the web login

[Phoenix1969]

The reason a power factor correction capacitor works, is because the power companies actually charge by volt-amps, while you are measured in kilowatthours... its a global electricity scam, and the PFCC's indeed work. If you run ANY equipment that contains Caps... you will save money. 10 to 25%

I enabled SSH through the UI and connected using putty but the user/pass isn't working.  I did change the web login and pass and have tried the original and the new one.   am I missing something?

When you say, "the user/pass" - Can we assume you're using root/admin?
