Screenshot shows cgminer 3.6.4 on the Pi

You would never think I studied Justice, eh? 

I'm running cgminer 3.3.4 and haven't upgraded in a while (as I heard the newer versions were having problems). My MinePeon is MinePeon Version 0.2.3
I see the latest MinePeon is 2.4 and CGMiner is 3.6 so it looks like they are working with the latest. Hopefully it is stable, I haven't checked the threads lately.
Will load all that up on my other Pi once the version is settled on.

Flemeister - I'd go with the Seasonic just as they have the top name in the area. ( I think the new Coolers Master V's are actually Seasonics in part.)
But I'm no expert and I know you weren't asking, just bragging.

Do orders of 2 or more boards still get the backplane free?

That was only true for Batch 1 which is closed.  Batch 2 you have to purchase it separately.

barntech am I going to need an adaptor to turn on thw 12 volt or is it still atx?

Hey,

So if we go for the 12v, the connectors on the boards will remain 4 pin molex, but the connectors on the miniplanes and doubles scrolls will change to 6 pin molex. On the miniplane, probably only one will be required, but we may put 2 on just to make sure you'll get enough power. The double scroll will have 2 for sure. This means for all you ex GPU mine heads, your giant PSU will potentially be able to run four double scrolls.

Here's a picture of the 6 pin molex connector.



And just for the sake of it, here is a picture of my old GPU rig. R.I.P .... Soon to rise again Drillbit styley! 

Barntech I was more asking if I needed an switch adaptor like the paper clip trick to turn it on if I don't decide to put in a pc that what I meant. Not an adaptor to plug into 12 volt , one to get the supply to swicth on. Should be easy to find but kryptonite for not needing other parts to run.

In case you want a cool toggle switch instead of a paperclip you can do this...   http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-power-up-an-ATX-Power-Supply-without-a-PC/

[bronan]

I love the change to pci-e plugs alot gonna make it easy for me with the antec 1200 which has 6 connectors

Need more btc to hook up more boards on this lazy psu.

That old gpu feeder not gonna warm up even after connecting the bought boards

Thats what I'm going to end up doing but who knows. Maybe barntech has a connection for bulk power testers.

Here is what I use for my BitFury starter kit.  Works like a charm and looks better than a paperclip.

nice find... I have a few uses for that which would make my life easier on some other things not relating to mining...

Really really nice, have to find that in Germany or EU now!

Barntech - Did you settle on the 12V yet or? Readying to order the PS's.

On my side, I power my BeagleBone with 5V of my PSU. I just cut USB-B<>USBmini cable, remove USB-B side and plug copper wire in a small connector of PSU (must be floopy's one). All stuck with stick-rubber, a nice piece of DIY

I use part of bending paperclip for all my PSU, I use their power switch in case I want switch off.

ETA on the boards Barntech?

[Goldshredder]

Not to veto your totally valid question. Perhaps the most valid question of all.

But for me personally I don't care about the exact date per se - as I assume that would be "asap", in the expected manner of pioneering and very complex projects in their final desperate stages of development. 

It's more that, date be damned, I just want it to be Soon!!

[Barntech]

Hello

I am very pleased to inform you all that at this very moment the boards are all getting made. This is the last charge. I don't want to make any promises that i might then accidentally not be able to keep, but i'm pretty confident we'll be shipping next week.

We are going with the 12V version, so feel free to go out and get power supplies. Also, i don't know if I've mentioned this before but each miniplane and each double scroll has a connector for a fan, so with a full 8 board setup you will have connections for 3 fans. I think i'm gonna go with these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103090 but haven't decided yet.

IAS, i know what you mean about the size of the boards, much smaller than you expect huh? The fully stacked miniplane will be a neat little cube.

Onto boring admin stuff, i still haven't received shipping payments from quite a few people. Can everyone please check their names and sort it out. If i have accidentally missed you, apologies in advance, send me a message.

That Coolermaster fan you linked is only sleeve bearing, that wont have a very good life expectancy. Best to go with ball bearing fans.

Thanks for the pointer. Do you have a good suggestion?

I've been using fluid bearing fans since 2007, I still have 10 from my old gaming case I built (NZXT fans) which I'm still using to this day, you can find some cheap fluid bearing fans on NewEgg, I've been using Xigmatek or SilenX fans lately, NewEgg has some Xigmatek 120mm 2-pack for $14.00 (currently have these running on my erupter farm).
