Didnt get the shipment today but looks good your stack there... Can you tell me what power-y-cable you used? I ordered the psu that Bitburner has on his website. It has cables for in total 8 boards. You can also power 2 boards with just one single power cord by connecting the second one via standard wires:  |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Theoretically so much like the 12A-connector from the psu can deliver? |

Turn your back on the forum for 2 hours and *BAM* tons of problems. BenTuras you need to terminate the CAN-BUS on both ends, there have to be two jumpers placed on the pins next to the LEDs. read my mail for details.
You can also power 2 boards with just one single power cord by connecting the second one via standard wires:
Cool... thats my route then... easy way. Edit: How many boards can i connect this way? Theoretically so much like the 12A-connector from the psu can deliver? Bridging 2 Boards like that is safe. If you are not doing heavy overclocking you could do 3 but i would not recommend it. Use 1.5mm^2 or thicker SOLID copper cable for the bridges.I am currently working on the Instructions manual. |

If you are not doing heavy overclocking you could do 3 but i would not recommend it. Use 1.5mm^2 or thicker SOLID copper cable for the bridges.I am currently working on the Instructions manual. I would run them at nearly 100W each... i guess its a good way to save at least some parts. I wonder what would be the risk when a psu has for example 400W at one 12A line and i would power one board directly and 3 others with cables? I could use 3mm speaker cables if that helps... |

Now that the boards are for sale is the schematic going to be released? I know it was mentioned previously in the thread but haven't seen them yet. I think having them to look at may answer a lot of questions.
I cant quote burnin directly right now, but his statement towards this question was that he will release them after a reasonable profit was made. Burnin surely had a lot of work done and needed to invest which should at first returned bevor releasing those data. I will send out BOM, Stencil-Gerber, drawings and Pick and Place data out to those who have ordered blank PCBs next week, under NDA. That NDA basically reads: do not redistribute until i open source the project on delivery of the first BitBurners. (5th to 6th of august.) Unfortunately only a few will get PCBs from the very first batch since i received more chips from Zefir then anticipated. More PCBs are on their way but will take at least one week longer then the first. (12th to 16th) Have you send? Nothing in my Inbox. |

That 8 board stack is about the same hashing power as a 3 unit Avalon. Are you using a RasPi to connect them to the internet? Wrong. 8 bb boards = 160 chips. Each avalon module is 80 chips, so my stack is equal to 2 avalon modules. For now I am using Ubuntu 12 and cgminer 3.3.2. I have the Raspberry too, just didn't have time to set up a sdhc card with the software. |

I could use 3mm speaker cables if that helps...
speaker cables are not solid. Non solid cables are not allow in lustre terminal. You can get solid copper 1.5mm2 cables in every hardware store (Baumarkt) very cheap. |

I have the Raspberry too, just didn't have time to set up a sdhc card with the software. Equal in number of chips. But the chips in the Burnin boards have higher overclocking potential, therefore more hashing power than the same chips in Avalon modules. |

Order #824 with batch 1 zefir chips still processing. Chips were delivered to burnin. Hopefully he's busy mounting chips and hasn't updated the support ticket system. |

They can only cool the same or better this side up. I was wondering about cooling, but maybe this could be better orientation. Burnin has always shown pictures of bitburners chip side up, so this just seems odd. Maybe in Australia this is natural |
