ASICMiner USB group buy- orders closed, pay for extra!

[Timzim103]

how?

The power brick on your USB hub should have something like this: OUTPUT: 5V  4AMPS.

My hub is 4 amps and that's more than enough for my 4 erupters.

I doubt an average PC alone can supply enough amperage to power 10 of these devices.

Then using those com numbers, I created a shortcut on my desktop with the following target line:

C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o http://pool:port -u username.worker -p password --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 -S //./COM4 -S //./COM5 -S //./COM6

thanks for the tip. would be pain in ass to do this every time.

my USB hub doesnt have a wall adapter. in gonna need a hub with more posts anyways. does anybody know one that has around 30-50 ports?

PS. When I get my erupters, I'll measure how much current they consume.

After I read your comment, I plugged my hub into a Kill a Watt.

So that's 1 Superspeed 3.0 hub with a 4 amp power supply from Pluggable and 4 Erupters.

The Kill a Watt reports 0.19 amps and 13.2 watts. This is pretty awesome compared to my GPU miners.

That's pretty awesome compared to my FPGA miners.

With that set of four you're generating about half what I am on FPGA's at one tenth the power consumption.

Or, to normalize, they consume about 20% as much power per hash as an FPGA miner.

if office depot maintains their "we can't do international" then i'll go find a fedex office.

Doesn't affect me, but be aware that FedEx has a nasty customs broker fee just like UPS.  Might be an unwelcome surprise for your buyers.

[Bogart]

No package received, and no nondelivery notice.  Tracking still shows "Expected delivery May 28th".

USPS hates me.  

If they don't show up today I'll stop in at the post office tomorrow morning and hassle them.  This happened before recently with a power supply I ordered.  It finally showed up like 3 days late.

arklan don't forget to declare the value with low price (if you has to), cause europe if pay fees is around 20% ....

Nice.  I wonder how much one erupter is consuming by itself (less hub draw)?

My hub itself with nothing plugged in reports between 0.01 and 0.02 amps and 0.3 watts.

When I plug one Erupter in it with cgminer running, it reports 0.05 amps and 3.4 to 3.6 watts.

Taking them out of the hub for this test, I noticed they are quite hot but not enough to warm the surface (1/2 inch of air space) they are sitting on.

It's truly neat. Eventually, I want to put these on a Raspberry Pi with Minepeon. Then, I won't have the Windows machine running all the time. I do have a Pi and I downloaded the latest version of Minepeon yesterday afternoon but couldn't get it going. I mean, the Pi was running fine, I could log into my router and get the IP for Minepeon and pull it up in the web browser and setup the pool settings. I could even SSH into it with Putty but that's as far as my expertise went. From what I've read, I think Minepeon isn't ready for these yet? Or have I missed something?

Thanks.  I guess killowatt is not that accurate.  We need to split the USB extension wire and measure the actual current flowing in the red wire :-) 

He he. My office is a mess. Even if I could find the pliers and one of my meters, I think I'll go have a Coke instead. :-)

Ah, there's your problem.  These definitely will need to be in powered hubs.

You won't likely find a hub with enough power and ports to power ALL of those without spending a fortune.  You'd probably do better buying several of the Anker 10 port hubs (4A @ 12V) for about $50 each.

Here's the hub I'm talking about at Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Uspeed-10-Port-Adapter-Chipset/dp/B005NGQWL2/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1369853936&sr=8-9&keywords=Anker+hub

Anyone willing to sell a spare ABE?  Want to mess around with it but missed out on the group buy.

Canary's got a 3rd group buy on the go now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=219422.0

If you want one sooner, I managed to snag a few from the first group buy (already on its way) and will entertain reasonable offers

Quiet day. Hopefully Arklan didn't fall asleep in his car outside Office Depot.

if he did I wouldn't blame the poor guy!

Need some support with this USB miners. Dont wanna clutter up this thread so I started a new one.

I slept from about  7 till noon actually.  :-D at office depot now. All 47 remaining domestic shipments are being leveled as we speak. The internationals i have to go elsewhere. I'll keep you posted.

Also,  the galaxy s4 is a brilliant phone. 
:-D
