My own follow-up here. Ordered two AMV1s a day or so before 4th of July. They were waiting for me Monday. Got them Wednesday (stupid work and UPS hours) and they're both up and running. Took a little fiddling to get things going but that was largely due to my own network layout and just not being familiar with the devices.
Overall, pretty happy!
Thanks for your feedback! We know how important it is for miners to get their equipment up and running as quickly as possible. All orders are shipped within 24hrs of payment.

Can you ship these r-box's to the UK?
I checked out your site a couple of days ago and when I selected UK it gave a price of around $35 for shipping to here, is that correct and what sort of delivery time should I expect if ordering from you?
Thanks.

Has anyone been able to format the SD card after putting that RPi img on it. It seems like there are a couple read only files on the img that are keeping me from formating.
0 out the disk using a program like ActiveKillDisk, or nuke the partitions and start from scrap. I dont take no "read only" crap ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I tried SDFormatter and even KillDisk is giving me errors: Erase method: One Pass Zeros (1 pass) Passes: 1 Selected: Removable Disk2 Generic-xD/SD/M.S. - 7.50 GB Erase Removable Disk2 Generic-xD/SD/M.S. - 7.50 GB Started: 2014-07-11 09:52:57 Cannot write to sectors from 0 to 2047.

It's failing to write to basically the entire thing which tells me that may be it... 2) If not, it looks like it's your SD card that may be dead / dying. Formatting has nothing to do with files as it doesn't know or care about the files. It operates in blocks and sectors.

I think it's because of the read only/write protected files in the img 2) That was my next guess but wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue.

Looks like a bad sd card, or the write protect switch is broken, jammed, or reversed. Maybe try flipping the write protect switch from its current position to the opposite position and see if it gives the same errors when formatting.

Yes, I do ship worldwide. Shipping is now calculated by weight, instead of unit price.

Hey guys. If your finding at the rockminer Pi program isnt working for you try the new alpha build of minepeon. I've had it running strong for 12+ hours now. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.msg7779753#msg7779753This is an alpha build so it's not complete but it seems to be working well.

I have a rocket box in operation for about a week now. The unit has some kind of stability problem. Reboots itself (or loses connection) often, sometimes a couple times in a day. Today had to manually reboot as the machine hung.
Nothing I would deploy on a larger scale.
Average at pool hash rate under 400GHS. Not even close to the advertised 440.
UPDATE: Downloaded the newest OS. Will install tomorrow and see if there is any difference.
V0.93 seems to work much better. With frequency @ 320 I am now getting ~440+GHs nominal.

Hey guys,
For those who installed the alpha mine peon, how did it go?
I am running the rbox image, and works fine, a little bit buggy.
The stable minepeon image does not recognize my rbox units.
Cheers

Sold out of AM-V1 units. I should have AMV1X2 units in stock soon(4 blade unit) Also, I added wifi support to the BTCGarden image so I can test units in my kitchen. I've tested with 3 units running at 930gh/s and no issues. I haven't tested with the rock miner image, but they are both built off of the standard raspbian img, so it should work there as well. Just don't use the manufacturers network configuration pages after making this change. How to add dhcp and wifi compatibility to your raspberry pi image (Tested with $9 edimax wifi adapter): 1) Plug in Ethernet cord and SSH into your raspberry pi 2) Run the following command to open the network interface config in nano (or use vim if you are a bit nerdier) sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces 3) Modify the contents of the file as follows(ctrl-x then Y to save): auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid "YOUR_WIFI_SSID_HERE" wpa-psk "YOUR_WIFI_WPA_PASSWORD_HERE" 4) Power off your pi 5) Remove ethernet cord 6) Start Raspberry pi and use your router config or an application like angryip to scan for the RPi's new address.

Thanks for work you do. Awaiting these v2 btcgardens. How soon, a couple days? And will pricing be close to manufacture price? Hate ordering from China.

Has anyone had luck getting a btcgarden v1 to solo mine? It looks like the web interface is great of adding an established pool but it may lack the config settings to solo mine with bitcoincore.

It's running a modified version of cgminer, but you should be able to ssh in and edit the conf file to add whatever parameters you like. username/pass is pi/raspberry. Run the history command to see a list of commands they ran to set up the image, it should give you a good idea of where everything is stored.

Spent the last 30 min or so looking around the pi and I still cannot find the config file. Can't even find the cgminer directory. I'm looking at php code to try and find it but not having much luck. *sigh*
