Can I connect to the miner and see the interface and change things through the wifi dongle?
I think it will not work with an USB WiFi dongle, you have to connect it via UTP. The IP-address is listed on a white sticker on the case. |

About the same 26716.5/m
Well, that's pretty bad isn't it ? Considering my Zeus package that everyone cries about is doing 41k @ 44 Mh/s... What kind of Zeus package do you have? At 44 Mh/s it would consume 1600W, now that is something different! I ordered a GAW Falcon, I'm so very happy that I was able to cancel my order and get a refund, you can't imagine! The Falcon is drawing 1050W and in practice it even seems to be 1150W. When it gets hot during the summertime, I'm afraid they will all burn out. Or you have to use them in a data center, but GAW hosting is no fun either. A Thunder package and 9 Blizzards at the moment. yes, it consumes alot of power but everything is at 'the office' so I'm not paying. They don't get hot though... neither of them does. And in regards to WU I've never seen anything like it. |

It's all the bloody hardware errors, they bring it down. And I suspect all the jobs this cgminer bins after 30 seconds Well, that's pretty bad isn't it ? Considering my Zeus package that everyone cries about is doing 41k @ 44 Mh/s...
Ow, that discussion again. I already had it (and am still having it) at the Zeus discussion..... The hardware errors are not bad at all. The 6% you see are compared to accepted shares at sharediff. However, if you compare it to the shares at Diff1, it's nothing, 0.01%. The Zeus do the same... so no I can't relate the lack of WU to HW errors. And fyi I'm still using the innosilicon image.  |

The big question though is will these ever ROI?

6% hardware error... Please fix your image..
It is either a software problem or a hardware problem. If it is a hardware problem you can't fix it with another image, only hide it. Anyway, the Zeus miners are even worse with respect to hardware errors. True but the orginal software had less hardware errors so i quess its software. What is more important is the pool side hash rate. |

And I would like to buy another one, but the prices are dropping as we speak. GAW now offers a 28 Mh/s miner for $2300. All I need is a good offer.  |

Was just about to order another machine but when going to pay by bitcoin I noticed that you add another $200 on top. Plus you are now charging for shipping. What's going on?

The A2Mini arrived an hour ago. All seems fine because it makes a lot of noise  Can't test it yet because my switch has not arrived yet as well as the wifi dongle. I hooked it up to the Internet cable and tried to tether the wifi of my phone to the PC but that didn't work. For now I have to be patient... |

Had the same thing but I figured it was due to the difference in price of the buy and sell orders on the exchange. |

Hi, you should not pay a BTC order that is older than 1 hour. We never charge more money on it, but BTC price has changed. so you get more . please a new order to get the lastest realtime price based on BTC |

For now I have to be patient... if you try to use PC to tether through your phone. you need to create a bridget on your PC ethernet and wifi adaptor. once you create that bridge, your pi will be able to access your phone's gateway you need to chagne your pi to DHCP too. |

So... WU is not important anymore then ?
No idea, I don't even know what cgminer means with WU. Poolside hash rate is more or less the number of accepted shares multiplied by the stratum/pool difficulty, that should give a good measure. |

WU is your Work Utility. The actual output of the miner. The rate of Diff1 shares solved per minute. So obviously, the higher it is, the more shares. Since my Zeus does 41k @ 43 Mh/s and the A2 does a mere 26k @ 31 Mh/s, I say the Zeus is more efficient. Blizzard ckuster does 11.6k @ 12 Mh/s. |

The plus and minus of the connectors on my computer PCU are reversed from that of the A2Mini, so I will have to change that.
But the output of the MINI PSU is +/- 12.15 Volt, and the output of the PC PCU is +/- 11.85 Volt. Would that .3 Volt make any difference in Hashing speed?

It is not so straightforward to compare because Zeus uses an older version of cgminer. There is a big difference in behavior between different cgminer versions. You always have to look at the hash rate the pool reports, because that is where you get rewarded for. The RPI probably has a negative influence on performance because it is slow like hell. They use it because it is a cheap way to control the SPI interface on the blades. |

I don't think it will make any difference because the 12V is down converted to 0.85V supply voltage for the chips anyway. |

The RPI is more than adequate for this task. Its not doing any real work

No, it is not doing real work itself, but getting new blocks, verifying the shares and sending them to the server, is maybe more than it can handle. When I do this on a fast PC, I clearly see very big spikes in processor activity when a share is being send. |
