Awesome:
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/groundbreaking-deal-gawminers-zenminer-will-revolutionize-mining/2014/05/23

Well, I guess the cat out of the bag lol.

We are excited about out partnership with these guys. They have some really cool stuff planed.

Additionally, we are including one with every pre-order miner we are shipping

When you say "Every" you also mean the shipped Fury miners?    Hopefully.

Sounds like it!

Yep:)

\ /  That's GAWsome! So the hardware is a Raspberry Pi and the Zenminer software comes on an SD card? Just wondering if the Raspberry Pi has been modified physically?

Thanks! We think so too

To meet our timeline, they put it on a RPI for us.

In the future, the zencontroller will become a embedded device

[GAW Miners]

Hey Guys,

All order will ship with an included Zencontroller. If you wish to use something different, you can re-flash it to whatever you want. zenminer has told me that if the controller is re-flashed, they will not support flashing it back again at this time.

Please direct development questions directly to zenMiner, thanks!

Yes, but what software will the hardware you are selling support? I didn't buy a Zen contract, I purchased a miner, I am hoping the miner you are selling has software that makes it work outside of forcing people to use a service they did not ask for and was not part of the terms of the original purchase.

I think Josh took your question a development question, which is a zenminer question.

Support of the software to our customers will be done through us.

Additionally, the majority of Furrys came with no RPI anyways (only those that purchased on the day), which is what I think your order was. So the zencontrollers being shipped are a free bonus.

We will support the zencontroller which is what will come with the miners. If you modify or re-flash it, you will loose software support for the controller.

Cpuminer?
Cgminer?
Bfgminer?
Sgminer?

These ship next week, how will mine hash considering I will not be using zenminer?

If you choose not to use our software, there are a few devs that have created forks that work on our miners. Please send a ticket in and we can direct you to one of them.

The zencontroller sounds cool
However, the CCN article states that it will start shipping in late June, while it says on your miners' page that it already is included for the next batches.
Could you please clarify this?

Using your software is a requirement that came up TODAY. Why the heck do I need to make a support request to get the software? Why not make it available publicly as a download from your site?

You do realize how absolutely rediculous this sounds that you are requiring people to use a brand new service to manage their hardware via a website when they have the hardware in front of them? And you tell this to people today, three days to shipping?

Now I am just getting ticked off at this shit show.

You do realize he said that you are not required to use their software (but you get it for free anyways) and that there are already working versions of other mining software which are compatible with their miners, right? Wow that was a long sentence! What ticks you off about this?

PLEASE..  Pretty please..  Could GAW(Josh) please start an Announcement tread on here..

This tread has turned into a zencontroller,Furry, War Machine, shipping etc etc Info thread and my eyes and fingers are bleeding trying to keep up with this thread just to try and pick out important Announcement Info...  And I know we have the mailing list where Final announcements will be made(Although not everything seems to make it in this mailing list) but I like reading all of Josh's tease of coming announcements..  Keeps me on the edge of my seat..


Thank you..

I hear you! But thats what this was supposed to be! And its a full time job to keep people from trolling us. And if I start a new one, they trolls will follow us there too. (sigh)

Additionally, I often try to take discussions that either clutter the board or not appropriate for public discussion offline. But instead of coming to a solution privately (and announcing if need be), they continue to try and have the conversation publicly.

Did you want to switch to a shipped order?

[volder]

Asking what software you support needs to be taken offline?  wtf?

Seriously. Take one.

Thanks, and to add to that.

One the the majority things that takes the time of our tech support time is people using custom software on their controllers that do not interact with the hardware correctly.

Customer will still be able to do that, but we will just not be able to provide support for that software.

Part of the reason we choose to work with zenminer is to be able to fully support the hardware. To offer upgraded firmware, even over-clocking settings, etc.

This will allow us to provide enhanced support for our hardware and reduce support issues, even make support faster. For example, if we discover a bug, we have the ability to provide a patch to zenminer and they can push the update to all the controllers!

Think of it like your OS. You can always run open source if you want (for disclosure we never said we supported), or you can run an supported OS and receive updates and the convenience of someone else managing creating updates, etc.

Everyone is different, the good news is you have both choices

Great. That's exactly how I figured it would work.

Very similar to everything else in the tech world. You have the ability to root/jailbreak your iPhone/Android, but if you do the hardware manufacturer does cover your goof-ups. Pretty standard stuff here.

Somewhere, someway, the community will get involved and make some pretty good software that runs GAW miners, should you choose to use it.

In this example, there are many companies (zenminer, apple, etc) that are much smarter then us, they have already figured this out

I see the A2s under Innosilicon but no A2s at all under hosting.
