Here is our tips on using the blades under active extension and modification:

Initial thoughts:

* Blade can take up to 10-15mins to get to 10Ghash/s
* After and hour, acceptance rate is around 97%
* drawing about 70-80watts power.

Issues / problems found so far:

* Stratum worker isnt supported? i cant seem to get it to connect to btcguild's stratum server
* DONT wire up with just molex 12v power - use a video card power connector 12V lines - 2x 12V cables. (should be added to a guide)
* You cant tell which wires should go in where for the power adapter - but quickly solved once you flip over the PCB - and you can see +'s and -'s
* Hard to mount / stand up the blade vertically, would be nice for some drill holes along an edge of the PCB so you can fix struts to mount the blade onto something

I appreciate your videos and thoughts, it's all very nice. I also wonder why everyone uses BTC guild like the guy who unpacked first Jalapeno :-)

+1 and then people panic when they get close to 50%...

there are other big pools to use...

The wording on the document is a bit off -

""4. To change the output voltage of each power lane, attach the red stick of the multimeter onto the joint space between the lane’s 2R2 inductor and the two capacitors nearby, and the black stick onto the negative input of the 4 pole connector, then use a small screwdriver to adjust the trimmer.
""

see video here:

wording should be changed to:

"
4. To change the output voltage of each power lane, attach the red stick of the multimeter onto the lane’s 2R2 inductor metal connector, and the black stick onto the negative input of the 4 pole connector, then use a small screwdriver to adjust the trimmer.

Im honestly unsure why im with BTC guild, i should shop around a bit more, but other than the fees %, why bother?

Because BTC Guild is:

• fast
• stable
• up
• redundant
• first to implement new features (like stratum)
• friendly
• well supported by an accessible admiin

If you guys want specifics / videos / pictures on anything, let me know.

I am looking forward to overclocking experiment

Could you try p2pool?

It's still unforgivable!  VVS is bad and should never happen if need be.

I'm, pretty sure that auction was clear manipulation to rise Asicminer share price, no sane man would pay 76 btc for 10GH device.

And they run operation spectacularly, shares more than doubled in a day or two.

The amount of manipulation and corruption in bitcoin community these days is staggering.

Yup, and ASICMINER shares are not worth even .4 BTC each.

Because then you would get 100% ROI each year and not only 36% like it is now? (based on dividend of april 24th and a shareprice of 1.12BTC)
If you know a sure investment thats better please tell me.

Even investing in miners now is risky because everytime the hashrate can explode if AM starts deploying in new datacenter, BFL finally manages to ship or all the 57 x 10,000 Avalon chips that are ordered reach their target (https://blockchain.info/address/1FGAftzSTztFSB8LMwsrdCKTyqGY6zr3sU)
