[GB] USB ASIC miner - closed and completed

[nottm28]

Updated my signature...

Nice. But I think you should be optimistic and change the BFL part to "Delivery in two weeks".   

LOL... I would love that it was true... But I have perhaps 30000 clients for Jalapeños before my own order, from last April 30, 2013 (yes, this year, not last year  )... I surely will get several BTC with the 2 USB Gizmo's before I can put hands on that BFL Cube...

Well those of us in #3 - no sign of bfl - no word on usb's... not so good.

extra noch zu der Filiale gefahren, da Briefe dort um ~17.15 abgeholt werden.
Pakete offensichtlich (zumindest heute) früher. Aber Vorfreude ist ja bekanntlich die schönste Freude.
-----------------------

Linux users should not need any help.
So here for the win users only:

• download latest cgminer-3.1.1 :
  http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
• install this driver:
  http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
  no reboot required
• plug in the usb miner, wait few seconds
• search in the Device Manager for:
  Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COMx)
  keep the COM number(s) in mind
• start cgminer with the following arguments:
  cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COMx
  for more than one device: cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COMx -S //./COMy

happy hashing  
But be careful! they get hot during operation!
I recommend cooling. Direct some airflow over the heat sink.

parcel #2: Arrived at Sort Facility LEIPZIG - GERMANY (but no customs clearance atm)
no, news for #3

will start working through PMs now

For Raspberry Pi users, Mineforeman.com is working on the software MinePeon (http://mineforeman.com/2013/05/26/minepeon-beta-1-code-name-butterfly-bob-released/). Beta 1, out 2 days ago, would detect and use our USB Gizmos, but it's untested yet as they don't have any USB Asic Miner and are still waiting for it.

I had problems with this version, as I can't access the stats page. I already discussed this with them and they are trying to bypass the problem. Previous alpha versions don't have support to this kind of Gizmos.

heartbreaking

The next release of cgminer will automatically handle it without any options required and it will also handle you being able to just plug it in while cgminer is already running.
You can also start cgminer with no devices and then plug it in and it will start mining with it.

@nottm28 @OutCast3k

Please do not make yourselves crazy.

Time for me to go to bed... and to dream about DHL and my new USB Gizmos... thanks to yxt, friedcat and this great German Group.

Friedcat versendet auch per DHL Express... das kostet auch dementsprechend

When mine arrive I'll test it with a plain Raspbian Raspberry Pi with just cgminer running on it, compiled from git

cool

I have also several lying around.
But no time for it .....

--------------
ja dhl express spielt international in einer anderen Liga.
Wobei die Frage ist was des von China aus kostet.
Normale post ist in die Richtung spottbillig.

Der normale DHL Kerl war max 1h nach DHL Express hier.
Also von Leipzig aus war es dann keine Express Sendung mehr  


EDIT:

shipped out more ASICs today than BFL ever!!!
in your face BFL liars

[Darthpotatoe]

Konntest du meine Bestellung noch unterkriegen? Hatte dir heute entsprechende Bitcoins gesendet.

[CumpsD]

Is it a 512MB version?

If you want I can upload the image of my SD card

...

Actually: http://pastebin.com/2J8BDHRB

You can set it up yourself, maybe takes an hour (mostly the apt-get entire system upgrade :p)

Just pay attention when you ./configure cgminer to enable to stuff you need, and change the pool info in cgminer.conf

@Darthpotatoe
--> PN

@CumpsD
Thanks for the offer. Maybe I'll come back to it
But as I said, currently i am short of time

FYI, the oft-discussed anker hub (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGQWL2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) works fine with 10 devices.

[yxt]

overpriced for mining purpose, imho and only 4A power adapter

cgminer doesn't want to recognize the USB sticks, but the included version of bfgminer works just fine for now.

Good morning World!

I smell fresh coffee and USB Gizmos... I'm feeling lucky...

Regarding CumpsD offer, if the offer is extended to me and as I'm so bad in Linux, I would love to get he's RPI image, as one of my 3 RPI's is also a v2 512 MBytes.
