ROCKMINER ASIC miner official thread

[rptech1402]

Hello,

Just thought i'd make my first post here as i received my first New R-Box on Monday (5th January 2015) tested it for a while using minera on a virtual machine.

I've also ordered a raspberry pi so i can use miners with Minera Software.

I've also gone ahead and purchased another R-Box tonight (6th January 2015).

The build quality in my opinion is superb for what it is. I was expecting less if i'm honest.

Very impressive. I'm also hoping to do to a review once i'm all setup.

Cheers

Please be careful with your RockMiners. My R-Box exploded infront of me (was mining on my desk), although still in tact there were some small pieces blown out the sides of it.

Oops... are you injured ?

No injury. Just a loud pop and a wee puff of smoke

So what you mean when you say "it exploded" is that one of the visible capacitors exploded. This isn't completely unheard for for any type of device. This was for an original 32GH R-box.

It served me well for the past 6 months. It's possible that I had a power surge maybe? I'm not very knowledgeable with my hardware

I have 3 of those kind of miners, and haven't had a problem yet. I don't know what causes a capacitor to "pop" after several months of operation. I was building a power supply many years ago, and installed an electrolytic capacitor backwards, and that did "explode" within the first few seconds after I turned it on. Obviously yours has been fine for months.

Which leaves me to thinking it was a surge. R.I.P R-box

11.

well, i thought it was heat causing one or 3 of the chips to fail, hence what looked like 80GHs over the 110GHs, it was that, that was causing the high error rate and low hashing.

but having it run on BFGMiner and watching them hash on it, 3/4 of them couldn't do any better then 50% erring, and they never could do any better then 7.6GHs each.

(pool side with it was only doing 30GHs)

Anyone of you can contact us for products problem, we will find way to solve it, we have distribution center in EU and US.If you got feedback in 12 hours , pls contact us for one more time, there was only one person handling the selling,delivering and customers supports in oversea.

Hi, this is the "ROCKMINER ASIC miner official thread"? I've talked on here about it since 2nd of November, you never mentioned anything here, till now..

all i wanted to know is these little boxes meant to error out and reject out as much as mine did (about 30% rejected 50% errors 20% accepted 30GHs pool side).. i even modified it to move more heat off the chips, CK even played with his miner software for a few days to get them running right, still no go.

anyway, EU and US doesn't look like you cover AU. none the less, its running at 80MH/s and 10% Hardware erring. cant go over 300MHz without it losing control. no new software for it, no new firmware. i have to live with what i got. and I'm not the only one with the same issue. luckily some managed to get RMA on them, others sold the off, since they never got any help out of it.

anyway, im probably talking to a brick wall here, only once ever 5-6 weeks you manage to post here.. no hell to friedcat, but im sick of seeing this AMhash thing, you Rockxie, seems to have just dropped everything to polish friedcars shoes, not a good look for you.

You can contact our customer service, may quality problem, you can exchange a new. Not so many people got such problems...

Oh.. I see... it seems only a part of the board burnt off.

Hi rockxie

R100 project, rockhash.com is not functional since weeks.
I have paid considerable amount of btc for 1TH miners to you.
I got units month late.

I have been promoting rockminer units within autumn and winter, got sold many rbox via ebay.

Alex has not responded to my emails.

When R100 will be officially closed and participants will be paid off?

thanks

Got a New R-box coming myself actually!!

I love the idea of a low power miner.  Run it without worry as 30 cents a day to run it is peanuts.  The true hobbiest miner .
