I can see by tracking number that package will arrive today. What software preparation do I need to do, to be ready for mining?

You need a Raspberry running Minepeon or standard Raspberry running cgminer,
or a PC running Ubuntu/Windows and cgminer,
or a Mac running Mac OSX and cgminer.

Windows will need the Zadig driver. A trustworthy location to download it from is: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/zadig/

The OneStringMiner board does not run full capacity with bfgminer, I still have to figure out why, but lack of time ....

You will not need the power cable or the serial interconnect cable with only one board.
They are included just in case you'll want to run more boards in the future

And maybe one day even grow to this:


Enjoy setting it up !

What I can see is that cgminer must be recompiled with --bitfury-enabled option? What parameters cgminer needs? Besides url and user of course? Can you paste yours "bat file" ?

I am running them with minepeon on a Raspberry.

cgminer -o POOL -u USER -p PWD is what i use.
POOL, USER and PWD needs to be replaced.

There are compiled cgminers available, but if you want to compile yourself it's doable.
Your "bat" question makes me think you want to compile on Windows. Do a search on Google and you'll find more info.
Likewise for other operating systems.

Starting immediately, these are the new lower prices:

Product		#boards		GH/s		outside EU price in $		price including VAT inside EU		price excluding VAT for business owners
OSM Elite		14		420+		$3125		€2724		€2251
OSM DIY0		1		25+		$244		€213		€176
2x OSM DIY0		2		50+		$429($59 advantage)		€375(€52 advantage)		€310(€42 advantage)
3x OSM DIY0		3		75+		$614($118 advantage)		€536(€101 advantage)		€443(€85 advantage)
OSM DIY1		1		30+		$256		€224		€185
OSM DIY2		2		60+		$465		€406		€336

We lowered the prices(~12%) due to the coming difficulty change, a modest one
All orders of yesterday also got these lower prices.
We didn't think of the lower shipping cost when shipping more than one, and also less additional items are needed, so we added the price for 2 and 3 DIY0 sets to our pricelist, and calculated the advantage for you when ordering more than one at the same time.
A similar advantage applies to the DIY1 and DIY2 sets. But given the limited available for now, we kept those prices off the list.

All prices include shipping worldwide.

Note:
Only 14 DIY1 and 15 DIY2 heat sinks left.
We expect the next batch of heat sinks in two weeks.

Package recived. First result are bad, unfortunatelly. Lots of hardware errors. I'm running minepeon on rPi. Peon shows 220MH/s 65% HW errors. Pool shows ~10GH. Voltage 11.8V. How to edit conf file? I need to connect monitor and keyboard? Or can I put SD card to reader and edit on computer?

Increase the voltage to 12V and see if it improves.
It's very strange that peon shows a lower GH/s than the pool, most of the time it's the other way around. And difference like this is extreme and likely something is wrong on the software side.
Which version of minepeon are you using ? (I am using 0.2.4.4)
Did you overclock the Raspberry ? (I didn't).
Are you using bfgminer ?

[Dexter770221]

Minepeon 0.2.4.5, switched to cgminer and results are much better. Only 2 HW errors so far (0,05%) and hashrate ~30GH/s on pool and minepeon.

OK, I mentioned before that bfgminer was not working correctly.
I still have to figure out why bfgminer and the OneStringMiner boards don't like each other.

Does there need to be anything in between the heat sink and the board?

No, the heat sink is anodised.

[newguy05]

the price is just too high at close to 3x the antminer gh/$.  I might as well just buy cex.io shares at this rate.

[ZBC3]

Wow that was easy. The boards were tightly packed with styrofoam, and anti static bags. After looking at a picture of the setup online, I was quickly able to assemble the unit. It was rather simple, and was accomplished quickly.  Finally I plugged the USB's into my rpi using cgminer and immediately saw flashing red lights.
Boards hash as stated, 60 ghs on avg.

It's impossible to compete on price with a firm that creates its own ASIC chips.
And where is the fun in buying shares ?
OneStringMiners is just another choice for buyers.
Buyers that want to be answered when they ask a question.
Buyers that like do it yourself stuff.
Buyers that appreciate low power usage.

Little bit on the expensive side, but interesting how you are using less power. Will try to order one just to try it out.

[simoncc]

The price here is OK for me. Actually, you can see my picture showing my miners. If you want to have a cheaper mining cost(including miner, power, and ISP…), how do you depress/decrease the cost? About me, my answer is shown in that picture. Guess: where are they?

OSM DIY2    2    60+    $465    €406    €336

465 bucks for 60 GH/S is VERY expensive. 700 will get you 200 GH/S.
