Very similar to our video with Gadi, up to UI presentation starting 4:30 (of course, much more complicated setup ...)

Congratulations on the one click upgrade at 7:06. Seems we have started a trend

btw, you forgot to add the auto discovery feature http://myminer.io

Not so bad power consumption, We'll meet again in one month

Misinformation at it's best. I count:

- 1x rPi power cable;
- 5x USB cables;
- 1x LAN cable;
- 4x power cables;
- 1x PSU cable

That makes it 12 cables. Only double than your stated 6 cables. Ok.

I did miscount (forgot psu/pi cables)

But some of those cables you just can't do without like the 4 pcie cables(could probably do with 2), psu cable, rPi power cable, and at least one cable from the controller to the miner. So there are really only 5 extra cables vs a single board miner.

Regardless you are the only one who cares about the extra cables.

It's the same as you were the only one that cared about SP-Tech Group Buys.

5 mins to set it up, 0 stackability, LOTS of wires aka spaghetti monster. Good luck with sales!

I actually plan on designing and printing clips that will allow these units to be stackable! Just gotta get my hands on one and I could have it modeled in a few hours.

@Rockxie

Since RX-Box is delayed indefinitely, what is going to happen with the ROI 60 customers?

It seems customers will receive RK box instead (something 3 for 2).

I'm going to use pizza boxes between them... ;oP

5 mins to set it up

Wow 5 whole minutes?

Did you also notice that the 450GH machine is running at 500GH at about 1w/gh?

Yes whole 5 minutes because there are 100 cables. Good luck stacking them!

Must be a BFL fanboy...   

I now see how you got your "Hero Member" status...very misleading...

Actually, I only need the specs on the X shaped parts of the Rocket boxes in order to design the 3D printed stacking clips  
If someone can provide that info, I will be able to model those up pretty quick like.

I had a rough past couple days (disabilities) but am feeling much better today and can finally finish the RBox modular mounts.

Rockxie - has anyone on the team looked at bluetooth integration for future designs?  Would save the pain of crossing 10's of wires (idk, maybe 100's for some of the more enthusiastic out there) and could be a value-add to the design.

Personally, I think it'd be pretty cool if someone did a 6lowpan miner

how can i stack rboxs into a tower?

Luke, I switched over to CGMiner, but one thing I think is clear, I don't think the frequency option (--set rockminer:clock=290) is working properly with BFGminer (4.2.x). When I configure frequency=290 with CGMiner, I get over 35Gh. With BFG, the best I ever got was in the 32's regardless of the frequency number.

Seems to work fine for me. Try --set rockminer:clock=200 for example, it's clearly slower.
Be sure you're comparing the pool-side hashrate, since cgminer lies about it...

nice unit. price not so nice....

Just in case, I did another longish comparison:
http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/16kNKa7WUg8QAPFy8dJRv7USSu2fAG2pkW

Code:

	cg @290 - 3hr high: 33 Gh
	cg @200 - 3hr high: 24 Gh
	bfg@200 - 3hr high: 26 Gh
	bfg@290 - 3hr high: 33 Gh

Rockxie, still on track to ship out tomorrow?!
