IN STOCK - OneStringMiner boards, up to 39GH/s last ITEMS: from US$15...FUN!!!

[BenTuras]

Way overpriced. The price will go down if they want to play.

Thank you for your contribution.
Sure the price will come down, over time.
That has happened to all bitcoin mining hardware.

I will add to the OP: If the price goes down before your order is shipped, you will be refunded for the difference.

OneStringMiner_DIY1 setup with 2 boards, Raspberry Pi, D-link 7-port hub, PSU and fan.
This is all you need to hash 60GH/s.
This setup can be upscaled to ~20 DIY1's.
More is possible, but the startup of cgminer takes longer and longer.

The hub is supplying power to the Raspberry(white USB cable).
DO NOT USE THE POWERED USB PORTS ON THE HUB, one fried Raspberry is enough  .

You don't need a HDMI monitor or keyboard. Just download Minepeon, which has a web interface to configure and monitor your miner.
And you can ssh into the Raspberry.

And two DIY2's in similar setup next to the DIY1 (and using the same PSU).

I started two auctions:

5 DIY2's: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=499505.0

two final question before i pull the trigger. can you post a screenie of cgminer console (so we know what they enumerate as), and two are the chips osc6 changable from *gminer or does the uC manage that?


-Taugeran

P.S. sorry about all the questions. just making sure i have all the info i need

Sorry, I don't understand your second question.

And 'overvolted' it looks something like this:

A voltage of 13V35 was measured with a voltmeter at the terminals
of the power supply.

So these work fine with BFGMiner as well?
I love the look of them and the power consumption is looking good as well.

I have tested it on my Macbook running OSX with Virtual Box running Ubuntu, using bfgminer 3.10.0.
I get a lot of unknown job id errors and the hashrate is about 30% of capacity.
cgminer-3.12.3 is running fine with the same setup, 30+ GH/s.
So for now cgminer only.

Thanks for the compliments

[ManeBjorn]

Good to know.  I hope it gets worked out.  MultiMiner runs on BFGMiner and I use it to control most of my gear.
Thanks
Your welcome I love innovation and new gear.

Sorry if I missed something that was posted early on. How "DIY" is the DIY board? Is it possible to get basically just the board and sack of components? Or a basic board population but not the BF chips installed, for folks that already have 'em laying around?

Also just as a verification. I haven't worked with BF hardware myself yet, but everywhere I see people tieing them into RPi; is it possible to work this stuff from an actual real computer?

People tie bitfury into rpi or beaglebone black because they are low wattage general purpose PCs.

This should run off a regular desktop. On windows you woul need the BiFury device driver .inf file to associate the proper drivers if you plan on using bfgminer. Cgminer should auto detect it



I agree DIY is a bit of a misnomer Ben, since the board comes fully populated and ready to go.

I suppose it's DIY compared to the elite (which is ready to go, just add pool creds)


My two satoshis.

Your answer is worth every satoshi you claim
It's DIY as in build your own case, assemble it, hook it up, install the needed software and get it running.

So how difficult would it be to get some boards that didn't have BF chips already installed?

Depends on how nice Ben is feeling/pricing for license from intron

[BenTuras]

I already got a similar question, the best option I can offer is you send the chips to us and we'll send you complete boards. Obviously you'll get a lower price, you can deduct us$75 per board for each 15 chips you send to us.

[sidehack]

So you don't trust people to stick on their own?

[BenTuras]

So you don't trust people to stick on their own?

Of course I do, it's just quicker this way.
Complete boards in stock, empty boards have to be produced and then all components needs to be added without the Bitfury chips. And then the buyer needs to add the Bitfury chips.
More fun, I agree, but takes a lot longer.

[sidehack]

Ah, so you've already caused to be populated all the boards you had.
Wait, so if someone sent in their chips, you'd send them an off-the-shelf board already made with off-the-shelf chips? Or cause one to be made and populated with their chips? Because if that's the case then it would not take longer to make a board with their chips than it would take to make a board with no chips at all.


Also sorry if I'm frustrating you. This design is flippin' cool and I really like it, just kinda want to understand what's possible. Someone asked me the other day what he might do with a couple dozen BF chips that had not yet been put to use and I was most interested in this design. If I can do what I want with a DPS-800GBA power supply board, it'd work with this miner to make overclocking as easy as turning a knob.

Yes, all boards we have are populated. We offer a complete board with a discounted price when the buyer sends in Bitfury chips.
It's a courtesy service that we offer, which we can do for a few customers, but not many. Or else we'll end up with thousands of chips that first need to be put in a usable container before we can ask our supplier to make more boards for us.

I have been looking into server power supplies too. This is definitely one of the ways to push the OneStringMiner board to higher performance at the cost of more energy being used(and void your warranty). Another way is a laboratory power supply, but those are expensive and most of them are only a few Amps. I hope to be able to answer a previously asked question about voltage versus performance.
Intron already gave a good indication (~39GH/s) of the capacity of the OSM boards in his message.
