Nice! And dang, at the same time, the power efficiency isn't enough for you to help me win my bet with Micon. Unless you manage to find a way to measure wattage at the jack instead of at the wall. At the jack? Not sure what you mean...

At the jack? Not sure what you mean... Basically, measuring anywhere after the power brick, so you aren't taking in to account the power brick's inefficiencies. To do this, you'd have to either cut the wires and connect an in-line measurement device, or you could simply split the two wires from each other (keeping the insulation on them is just fine) and use a clamp meter around one of the wires to measure amperage, calculating total wattage from there.

Clamp meters don't require the wires to be separated out. An easier way than cutting wires would be to make a simple adapter out of a male and female power jack (whatever size the adapter uses). This way you could just plug it in, inline with the adapter, without actually having to alter the adapter itself at all.

I know on AC power, they do have to be separated out.

I know on AC power, they do have to be separated out. The wires have to be separated out, or their fields cancel and the clamp will read near zero regardless of AC or DC. Easiest to do it withe the modular PCIe power connector that comes with it or make up a DC extender cable with individual wires.

Sorry, what I was saying there's a way to do it WITHOUT separating the wires of the adaptor; being that you can use a clamp meter without cutting into the wiring of the original adapter.

So, whats the total number of devices they have shipped so far? 25? 50? Out of 20,000+?

~35-40 units so far. ...45 days. Since April 1st (Luke JR's tabletop to tabletop shipping) (no I am not kidding)

For the record, my Jalapeno did not come with a PCIe power connector. I'm not going to modify my current power adapter, so I don't think I'll be able to help settle this bet.

You don't need to modify a thing, you go to an electronics part shop and buy a male and female version of the DC power connector and make up a short extension lead that you use for measurements.

No offense, but I don't care that much. The electricity bill I pay is based on the power used by the power brick, so knowing how much power is being used on the other side of the power brick is only academically interesting to me. Also, I don't have a clamp-style meter and don't want to go spend money on one just to answer this question.

So, how many Jalapeños has been delivered so far? 6? 10? 20?
They started "shipping" weeks ago, any idea of how many units are they "shipping" per day?

What was your order date? 23th? Although you could have gotten lucky in the "1/3 randomly to first month orders" quota too. So, how many Jalapeños has been delivered so far? 6? 10? 20?

About 10-20 I'd guess to customers. They're mostly shipping 0 per day, but did ship a few on saturday and maybe more on monday. Usually 0, because they don't have chips ready, and are getting more rarely and in small batches.

I received an email this morning that my Jalapeno is shipping via USPS priority this morning. Cautiously thrilled. If anyone can give me any advance tips on running the Jalapeno off of Debian Linux I'd appreciate it. I suspect the device will not arrive with an overabundance of documentation.

when did you order, what is your order #? As far as running it, you should just have to plug it in via usb and run your miner.

Order no. was #1950 on June 23rd. I'm hoping to run this off of Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze) on a 12-year-old Powerbook G4 which runs silent and only consumes 15W. However I wonder if the the Powerbooks USB 1.0 or anything else about that setup is going to be problematic. I hope like you say it's plug & play but I would be surprised if this doesn't involve a fair amount of fiddling around. Either way, is CGMiner the best choice of mining software?
