I tried a wireless bridge... it sucked... totally.
Want one?...lol
There are some crappy ones out there for sure...but the one I linked is pretty awesome for those just now starting to wonder about how to put their miner on wireless and don't want to jump through a lot hoops to do it. I do high-end networking for a living and I'm not easily impressed with home consumer-grade gear..but this little box really surprised me for the build quality and the signal strength it was able to maintain throughout the house during my wireless torture test. BAH! I just bough one of these today for my XBMC setup as I took my old bridge to use on my miner. I was looking at that exact product, dangit. I picked up a refurb one of these for $29USD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833989024 |

Don't forget "today" means "in 3 days"  at least "2 Weeks" didn't mean a year... |

Don't forget "today" means "in 3 days" at least "2 Weeks" didn't mean a year... Nor was the difficulty going up 50%+ every 2 weeks back then, so no valid comparison now. |

Streaming media over 2.4Ghz isn't all that awesome...even over N...due to the crowded spectrum and all the interference that brings. The netgear I linked is 2.4Ghz only and great for low-bandwidth applications but I wouldn't want to put a HTPC on it for multi-megabit streaming duties. |

its simpler than that even...  just plug it to a laptop, which has wifi a cheapo 10/100 is plenty I bought into high speed wireless switches early and am still using the things. I've got a TP-Link 8 port and a TP-Link 4 port. They make great ethernet extenders. My WDTV can do wifi and I bought the Cisco USB but at the time my wireless routers were only 802.11b and wouldn't accept the Cisco USB adapter logging in. So, I ran cat5 cable and put the 4port switch there by the TV, added a 2.5" hard drive to the WDTV and I can drag and drop two weeks worth of TV programs onto the WDTV drive. Using the high speed switch at the end of the cat5 run really improves thruput. |

Any significance to the sticker numbers? All my Jupiter boards have a "1" and I've been running 525-550GH/s fairly consistently.
#1's might just mean that since they were first they had a little more attention to detail before they got ramped up and slopped up a bit though, I have two #1 boards and one of them is the one with the die out but the dies that do work on them seem to drop the least cores on avg. I guess one of my VRM/caps got a little baked on the early firmwares |

There are some crappy ones out there for sure...but the one I linked is pretty awesome for those just now starting to wonder about how to put their miner on wireless and don't want to jump through a lot hoops to do it. sure... all helps... I was not satisfied at all with a bridge, it liked to drop connections randomly... The laptop's range is like 10x as far, gets waaay better reception, and has never dropped the connection in 6 days so far... The old WinXP laptop has a wireless that I disabled for testing this RPI router. Since wasn't all too difficult I might try making it the wireless router instead of the RPI. It does only have XP home so auto config is out but with the route command it should be possible. |

My order is 4114 and apparently it was picked up today. If that means anything to anyone Yes it does: my 39xx (was paid the same hour it was ordered) is not yet even started to be produced yet.  Let's see if tomorrow will bring any news... |

FWIW, this bertmod mod seems to work for .96.... http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/6183-bertmod-0-2-unofficial-firmware-mod-feedback-thread/page3also, I am starting to conclude that my Saturn is pretty close to maxing out at 250GH/s on CGminer = 210-225GH/s server side w/ around 20% hardware errors on CG with 3800 WU (best so far has been .96) I think that the Saturns like Phoenix1969's where they are hashing at 275GH/s at the server is because they have the 8 VRMs....I don't know diddly, but maybe those early units were meant to IMPRESS with those higher rates while the rest were shipped as "satisfactory units" w/ only 4 VRMS. Hopefully the next firmware will improve on FLUSHWORK SPEED, and the error rate/WU, since I am all HASHED OUT  |

he next difficulty is estimated to change by 34.72% to 360,699,846 on block #266,111. That should be 5 days 5 hours 59 mins 42 seconds from now.
Thanks for ruining my day...  The final will go above 400m at this rate. ya for those that stare at this all day http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/currency/USD.htmlyou get a feel of its pace upwards.. and 5 more days is an eternity so 380 min but probably 420 at current rate |

I haven't checked that version, but keeping the die core stats on another page is ideal so you can have constant refresh of the main stats that are quick to refresh (runs a different script) It wouldn't be hard, just have it do something like this on a button push from the GUI that I just run on the command line: perl ./asic_status.pl > /www/pages/stat1.html |

Only about 9 day too late whereas I could have made ROI AND PROFIT if it my jupiters were delivered on the 8th instead of the 17th. Now, i am trying to sell both of them. That was the difference between being a day 1 and not being that

I sold one on Oct18th for 8600 (which I received on the 8th). It is up to you, but saying you'll have a loss is just not true or it is based on bad decisions. |

aaaah.... Gotta call B.S... I got a saturn on the 10th, and it's nowhere close to breakeven. The other two have been up for 4+ days on top of the first.., and I've almost reached $2,000 usd total, out of the $12,000.00 I spent... ROI is at least months away, even if you had a day 1 order.... if ever unless, of course, BTC keeps going up....UP....UUPPPPP... |

I prefer the 48 Port 10/100 managed dell switches with fiber and gigabit backbone for all my miners . Super cheap on ebay. |

Phonenix, are those hash rates at the server side, and how long before those figures go steady on the server after a reboot? I notice my unit is usually fully operational after about 15 - 30 mins when it seems to stabilize and settle on hash rate/WU and op. temp. also, the longer between BLOCKS found the better, as flushwork seems to kill performance....its kinda like racing the indy500 and everytime a block is found you have to pit.....weak! |
