[CLOSED] batch #23/24 .105 btc USB + 4 btc NEW Blade miners

[Chronikka]

Is it possible to buy the backplane separately if you didn't order ten blades?

Is it possible to buy the backplane separately if you didn't order ten blades?

Currently, there is not enough supply of backplanes to be sold independently/separately.
1 backplane per 10 blades.

these usbs will need to be around .13 each soon to be worth messing with    

they are already novelty. the difficulty is too high to get anything useful out of them other than a few bit-cents a piece

a year worth of mining with starting at 10 and adding a new one as soon as you get enough coin only gives you an addition 7 units and  .08 btc in your hands calculated reference

then you are left with 17 usb sticks that cant really do anything.
this calculation of course is an estimation and assumes 30% increases each time and does not factor in hub costs.

its getting harder to mine while not losing USD. better save your power and just invest in coins not miners.

your calc reference is not good.  1 year of 30 % each adjustment will never happen. just not possible.  basically that is about 1.3 to the 32nd power silly to think that is what will happen.

112.9  11 days
146.8  22 days
190.9  33 days
248.1  44 days
322.6  55 days
419.4  66 days
545.2  77 days
708.8  88 days
921.5  99 days       these will not continue as that speed

30% for a year may not happen but as the huge miners start dropping ,there will be higher jumps in difficulty and then it should mellow out. so over that time, it could average around 30% per jump. and from here on out, there will only be bigger miners being sold so the rise of hashing power doesnt look to be slowing anytime soon.

its just not possible to get any kind of accurate guess for that length of time.

Received the V2 Blade today and got it set up and running. Hashing away at about 10.9GH/s. Thanks again Canary!

Was a bit nervous about shipping in a padded envelope, but arrived very well packed. Blade itself comes in a plain brown box with antistatic bag and foam padding, then that was inside a padded envelope, then that envelope was inside another padded envelope. Any concerns disappeared after pulling the envelope out of the mailbox and seeing how well it was packaged.

What are the two surface mount components included in a baggie with the Blade, by the way? Extra fuses I assume?

I guess I missed something. What is the timer for?

[BenTheRighteous]

I got my blades today! 

Most of them are perfect... but I think one of them has a dead chip.

Code:

Chip: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOxOOOOOOOOOOOO

Any way to fix that? If not, does that qualify for warranty replacement?

Could just be a power issue..

I have this sometimes on a v1 blade. If i start in low power mode then switch to high its fine. Or i just adjusted the power and its fine again in high power mode.

[BenTheRighteous]

How do you switch from low/high-power modes? Is it a hidden configuration setting or do I have to jumper something?

I'm running the blades off a backplane that's being fed by one of those HP DPS800's that the plane is designed to work with.

Out of the whole plane, I just have one "x" chip out of the whole setup. It "might" be a power issue, but I'm more inclined to think it's just a funky chip. I'll happily troubleshoot anything though.

EDIT: These are the non-overclockable blades. Does that mean there is no such thing as low/high-power mode?

Yep, extra fuses (ceramic vs. the legacy 10Amp car-style fuses).

The timer is for when I close this batch...

Never done that. The only cash deal I ever did was a pickup...
Don't wish to deal with anything but btc otherwise.
