Sorry, orrible review. 4 minutes to open the box is not interesting.  Patience. I'll be doing a hell of a lot more. With far better video/snapshots too. My son really wanted to help. His help is a bit shaky, he's only 7  I figured it would satisfy him and show the world that I actually got the thing. In unrelated news, but relevant to why I'm taking my time, My daughter is due to be born in a few days. That likely will take precedence over filming and editing. |

My 7 year old son hates BTC\LTC because I keep on re purposing his Minecraft rigs. Bought an AIO desktop over the holidays to solve that problem Great to see you getting your son involved in the tech  |

I have a daughter due in April. Take a break for a few days, but please, obtain and post the watt usage beforehand if possible! |

Congratulations. Your review is fine and certainly thorough enough. I particularly liked the included link to your Eligius page (p.s. if you haven't already sign up for the nmc merged mining, its not much but a little extra cash for no extra effort is nice). I first started using Eligius when the pool was at about 1TH I think. Shocking to see how it has grown. When my 1.2TH unit comes in it will be less that 0.1% of the pool ROFL. Welcome to the fun world of bitcoin mining and the 24/7 hamster wheel of upgrades.

Biomech, Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Same here, good effort, lets hope the next gen is relatively easy enough to operate as the Bitfury units. Although I'm interested in how the low/normal and turbo power modes work in terms of power draw at the wall. |

Biomech, great job so far. i dont mean to jump ahead on the forum, but could you tell us what the outputs on the system you have are? USB? ethernet? just curious because some of the pics of the miners on the AMT website show what looks like multiple USB plugs. the pics on the website dont look much like the one from the video. its cool how excited your kid is. i have 2 teenagers and one is headed to LSU next year and is only now interested in mining once he figured that he will have free electricity and internet in the dorm. the younger one just hopes i dont turn his computer into a miner like it did with his brothers  |

It also has an ethernet cable out the back, which is what it's connected to my router with. |

Found the whole thing charming, AMT prolly could have not chosen better PR person. Stick with it, and I would like to see a Big Ol' Gold $Bitcoin symbol hung on that hat... Yup lucky man he was....
Not kidding mean it..

Well, if they offered me the job I'd seriously consider it. I like the machine. As for the bitcoin symbol on my Stetson? I just might. But not till I can afford real gold. I like the idea. |

Ok, folks. I worked like 19 hours or something like that in the last two days, with hospital visits in between. I actually have time right now, but I am too fuckin' braindead to take a decent pic. Tomorrow evening I will pop the cover and take some pics and post them up here.
As previously noted, Vesperwillow offered me a Kill-a-watt, and it's supposed to arrive just about when I go on leave this coming weekend, so when I get it, I'll do the deed and post pics of that as well.
G'night.
