If Mineority can launch hosting with a CNv8/Monero bitstream it would be a fantastic way to kickoff that service. You'd sell the rest of the BCUs in a week!

SO,my BCU1525 Board has been shipped.
It will arrive with SQRL mining software ?
where I can find other software that can be used besides Zetheron ?
Lyra2z 40mh/s is released on the shell already. We have several bitstreams from community developers in works. We've developed a faster lyra2z (possibly up to 80Mh/s with water cooling but may run at 55-60 with high end air cooling). We're also working on other streams just to try to move things along and give people more opportunities to mine on the cards. I'd expect at least 2 possibly 3 new bitstreams from us in the next month or so. We'll also be releasing the shell on the CVP-13 which I hope will get more community developers involved -- since the interfaces will be the same. Code developed for the bcu will compile without any change against the new chip. The developers would only need to create their new constraints and possibly modify the number of cores. Setup instructions are located at https://miner.all-mine.co/setup-instructions We will have new software packages, additional software updates and more installations in the days and weeks to come following shipping. The general goal of these is to add features and make things easier. Are the upgraded passive or active coolings in yet? Should I just switch my order to stock coolers at this point to get it sooner? |

I designed an air duct for use with open air cases that can be 3d printed. It will mount to a 120mm fan and sit the BCU inside of it. This should work for VCUs as well but the power header on the vcus is facing the top not the back so it wouldn't be ideal. STL File: https://ufile.io/12bsrOBJ Files: https://ufile.io/j58do |

those of you that have these
are you actually managing to mine any obscure coin and move to ROI or is that a non-issue now...in that you are still
trying to tweak/develop card or firmware etc?
just curious if the $3.5k USD bet has at least started to pay back for those who have a card
thanks

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

If there is no change in the market, ROI should be around a year (excluded power) but with the massive MTBF of those cards, it should be OK. It obviously paid off for people who were mining with FPGA last year |

UPDATE:We're in the final test stages of our newest release of minerator, BMC firmware (which includes some critical fixes), and lyra2z design (60~ Mh/s @ 250~ Watts). To operate the lyra2z 60Mh/s you will need to first update your BMC firmware with our patch tool and minerator software. There are incompatibilities between the old and new version due to the fixes incorporated. We will be posting files, download links and instructions soon. New features to this release of minerator include - Auto-clock adjustment
- Auto-voltage adjustment
- API Interface on the software side
- Additional hardware monitoring
- Fixes for several known bugs of the previous release

Going to redesign soon as this model is too long for open air cases. I'm also getting pricing from some companies who do plastic injection molding. We might be able to get a bunch of them made at a low price and sell them for much less than the 216€ they want to make a single one. |

Ya, my design is not ideal due to backflow of air. Conlaeb on discord is continuing the mission to create a duct. |

I dont think you can escape backflow when you reduce a 120 aperture down to a few cm* few cm with an average fan (no high pressure) |

Might be better off adding a fan yourself (see 3D printing discussion). Lots of people have made their own fan ducting out of cardboard as an interim measure, seems to work pretty well. |

I looked a bit in chat and see the 3d printer discussion.. might be perfect because a local friend has recently got into 3d printing with his own! but it looks like you guys are updating the model so maybe I should wait

Cardboard seems to work better than the duct I made. The other thing that seems to work pretty well is that compressed cardboard stuff you get in the 'projects' section of lowes / home depot lumber area. It's easy to work with and you can quickly cut out forms that would enclose all the cards.

https://store.squirrelsresearch.com/sqrl/bcu1525-active-heat-sink/Any news on the SQRL "Active Heatsink" fan attachment orders? I have had 2 BCU's delivered with the standard heatsink with no fan and ordered 2 of the active heatsinks.. says estimated delivery in 2018 and in stock now I heard these might of been only for factory install... if thats the case, can I get a refund (and I can buy some delta fans instead)? Otherwise I'm looking forward to them being shipped so I can use my BCU's
