"but anyways if it's a 2.0 riser max 4gpu to 1 acorn density, if it's 3.0 link speed then it's up to 2 gpu to 1 acorn density. But the proper balance for a particular algo means doing the math with the numbers on the chart if you are on a full x4 connection then you can go up to 1:1 density or more if the gpu on x8 or w/e 1:2"
Sounds like the miner software will itself configure it to the best it can with the speeds you give it, thats good news, When its not stated on the site you think that a misconfiguration would result in a total bottleneck slowing down your hashrate to posible under what you would get without the acorns

$42 for shipping such a tiny thing? I've never paid so much for shipping not going to start now.
And why all the payment weirdness? crypto or ACH transfer only? Even in satoshi's white paper it is said that crytpo is not expected to eliminate fiat but compliment it.
I can buy all sorts of mining -crypto related- stuff with traditional payment methods. I hope this weirdness ends.
Just some feedback... I thought we were going to see a payment portal that accepted traditional payment methods.

It was in the faq or something, methods like PayPal don’t like crypto mining related transactions. Hence crypto or ACH.

More important then payment options (I mean you can just buy some bitcoint and then pay, not best but doable at least) is: - shipping (if you think 42$ is much then I can tell you I would need to pay 75$ for EU) - shipping from EU. I won't pay VAT + import tax. With both problems above 1 acorn would cost me basically 2 acorns. With all the talk about decentralization and equal opportunities US people still have huge advantage in everything. Untill EU gets the same options as US there is no decentralization for me

Untill EU gets the same options as US there is no decentralization for me The shipping is the same as if you quote fedex.com, actually that’s much worse for EU. We’re working on fixing this but that requires fedex fixing our rates in their API, but once it is fixed we will refund any differences. You won’t pay double VAT/Import, we do a DDP which is why you’re charged VAT. The EU has many taxes and fees for companies that do business with it - we gain nothing from all those extra charges, talk to your governments. There’s also a lot of misinformation in this thread - so much it is hard to keep up on. I would really encourage reading the FAQ on http://www.squirrelsresearch.com

And sorry if I was spreading misinformation. But with all the taxes, regulations etc...its hard to know what you pay in the end. I also understand you had little time to prepare. Anyway going to read the FAQ. Don't worry we all know its not you charging us that extra costs but all the guys in between (shipping, guverments etc...). EDIT: Just read the FAQ, you should really put all the shipping and VAT, import TAX related info in there. It will reduce the number of questions and misinformation a lot.

havent seen this mentioned (but im practically blind..) what cpu is recommended?
i ordered two 215+ and a nest card, plan is to use the nest in a 16 lane gen 3 slot with one 215+ on my onda b250 d8p, it has a pentium 4400 and ill use it for 2 amd 470s and 2 1070s, if it can handle it. the gpus will be 1 pcie lane at gen3. the other 215+ will go in a gigabyte z97 (has a celly 1340 or something) with one 1080ti at pcie gen 3 with 8 lanes, that board will also have a bcu1525.
are cpu upgrades in my future?
sorry if this has been answered; discord is a mess to find info.

yes http://www.squirrelsresearch.com/sqrl-miner/@gpuhoarder this order is paid for order number 000000482 I used coinpayments and really struggled to get it to work I know you are busy today. I had difficulty getting orders done and paid with coin payments. I did get one order in and it has been paid so I hope it will simply be marked paid. and not canceled.. This is order number 000000482 and as of now it is marked canceled.
Pdf have been attached
I am sorry for the confusion but coin payments was very difficult to work with.
Thanks again,
Philip A....

I ordered a pair of 215+ yesterday (order #290). I'm trying for figure how I should deploy them for the most bang for the buck, so to speak. These are the rigs I have: My initial thought would be to throw them both in the rig with 7x 1060 3GB cards and 2 available M.2 slots. However, those GPU's are all on x1 risers running PCIe Gen2 mode (I don't think the risers would work if I switched to Gen3 in the BIOS). But maybe? My 2nd option would be to stick one in the rig with 4x 1080Ti that are plugged directly into PCIe Gen3 slots @ x8. That rig has a 40 lane CPU. How would you deploy a pair of 215+ given my available rig configurations?

1:2 would most likely be fine for your 1060 and 1070 rigs, and then you can use your x1 ports but you need pcie 3.0 risers, and a motherboard with intel 200+ chipset to get pcie 3.0 on the chipset.
But for your TI rigs you most likely need 1 acorn per gpu, so each gpu needs atleast a x2 3.0 or x4 2.0 pcie.

So some risers support pcie 3.0? Most of my recent risers are VER 008C, so maybe they do. When I initially setup my rigs, the guides all said to configure for pcie 1.0 or 2.0. I'll change the 7x 1060 rig with the Z270 mobo to gen3 and see what happens.
Also, I'm curious if the sqrl miner is free. I know it doesn't have a dev fee, which is nice.

Can I get a quick answer on best acorn for mining kryptonite Heavy Or Eth with 2x 1060 SC cards? Was going to go with the CLE-101 but don't know if it can handle Kryptonite Heavy... Thanks

It was in the faq or something, methods like PayPal don’t like crypto mining related transactions. Hence crypto or ACH. Ebay don't care right? all sorts of crypto stuff on ebay. Oh, and I can use paypal for that. fees? charge 10% more, it's still a free listing. There would even be cheap USPS shipping options with that route. But it's fine, seems like a limited sale anyways... starting small. I hope it continues to develop and I truly hope everyone benefits per Acorn's vision.

Yes there is risers with pcie 3.0 but they use ribbon cables and is quite short, its not the usb3 cables you know from your regular pcie 2.0 risers. Im only guessing here, but if sqrl miner is not free, I would asume that having a acorn would also give you a license for the miner.

alll risers support 3.0 (x1). well if motherboard support only 2.0, than the riser will do 2.0 as well.

I agree with Seth Estrada, the "Nest" products sound REALLY cool. Easily plug in various Acorn units into a pcie 8x/16 x slot. even almost pushed me over my reluctance to spend alt coins at this point in time... still though.. rough time to be spending coins in this market
