If I understand it, they're already working on the next gen chips. Took them a while to get started on it so no delivery until at least February. At least someone's making decent mid-entry hardware that's not built-for-n00bs or $4000.

Does anyone had advice for trouble shooting a bad blade in a cube? Or is it even possible? The bad blade sometimes works but most of the time it will cause the entire cube to turn 'xxxx'. I switched power supplies and did a long troubleshooting process to ID the bade blade. I looked for any obvious damage but couldn't find any.

I've got one that did the same thing, haven't narrowed down the source yet but I'll post about it when I do.

I should have posted my troubleshooting process... Took the cube apart. Labeled blades 1-6. Removed all blades and tested each blade in each port on the main board. That took a bit. Finally found the bad blade. Tested the cube with the bad blade in each of the 6 ports to confirm.

Labeling and keeping track of what slots they were tried in will narrow it down. Don't change more than 1 variable at a time. That was the mistake I made with the hub issue. I know better but took a shortcut.

I feel that the Cube is a culmination of their research for a platform to house their next-gen chips and the current Cube offering with the BE100 chips is just a dry run. If the anticipated chips are anything like the Bitfury 55nm chips (or better), then that would be exciting. Just imagine a yield of at least 200+ GH/s in a very attractive tiny 5.3" x 6.0" x 5.8" package drawing similar wattage as the current Cube. I also feel that USB connectivity (with the existing port) will be implemented then for mainstream appeal. I couldn't agree with you more. AM has allowed us regular small-time miners to be significant part of the network. Still, just like with any other company or business, profit is paramount.

Haha, no way man. Mess with friedcat and you're likely to get a very quick shipment. Unfortunately, it's going to be a box filled to the brim with nunchaku laden little people. Seriously though, I think the cat is very busy with third gen, but I hope he's got another batch heading my way soon. I'll keep trying fellas.

Good news, my shipper has received a delivery from ASICMiner and I'm told there were no breathing holes! I'll be creating a new sale thread shortly after I receive details on the shipment.
