[Guide] cxboyminer BTC-Garden AM-v1 Setup Guide

[bobsag3]

Magical, after changing the cables it went up a bit, then once I moved it to 4 it is where it is supposed to be. Thank you both. Had previously tried four but guessing there was a bad connection somewhere. It's working finally. Thanks again.

So if I purchase another one I need to have another raspberry I'm guessing, or is it possible to daisychain another 4?

I think you can have up to 8 blades (4 miners) on a single Pi. I currently have 3x AM-V1 miners on a single Pi (6 blades)

correct

Hi, bobsag3 is right  ==> 8 blades = 1 raspberry
You can ask btcgarden to buy a miner (4 blades) without RPI (40$ reduce).
He proposed that to me perhaps it's possible today too

I purchased mine from elsewhere and they kindly didn't supply one. I happened to have one floating around from back in the day luckily. But yes, if I get from the same suplier it would be the same and now I have more knowledge - thanks again - it should be quite easy.

Yes it is necessary to distrust, as they are not the truths shops they do not respect the law and sell in fragments the miner of BTCgarden. I am in France and I preferred to buy at the manufacturer's, it was cheaper than to one saying retailers in Europe.

Minersource.net
and
AsicPuppy.com

are both highly trusted and GREAT resellers of mining gear and they offer competitive prices and fast shipping as well.

I usually purchase from minersource, even still after they have screwed me over a couple of times as my first orders were delivered quickly and without issues. First impressions last it seems. But they are the ones who shipped without a raspberry unless I paid extra for it.

That aside, Is it at all possible for the miner to go on a rotation setup without having to do it manually? My guess is a no...

[cxboyminer]

I vouch for minersource. They provide warranty and they ship quick and the package is padded well.

I'm sorry to do this but I am going to bother you gents again. Are you guys solo mining? if so could you please give me the details on how to do it. Even a link if possible.

Hi,
No one really solo mine anymore in bitcoin world.

Here is one of the guides: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315477.0

The difficulty is insane, I know. Was just going to experiment with some other cryptos a bit just to see if I can do it. Then back to BTC I reckon. I just battle to leave things sitting. Patience problem I guess.

Hopefully the link i provided for you is going to work with other cryptos, but not sure.

[cxboyminer]

BTCGarden is currently developing new miner. However don't expect to be announced soon.

Thanks again,

Just got my AMV2x2 kit shipped and setup from Minersource. Looking to these as a more stable alternative to the S3 at the moment. 1.25th out of the box with barely any heat. What kinds of speeds are you guys seeing at 320 and 330?

[HotSwap]

Does anyone have the older firmware?

I'm also looking. 7-19 does not allow for any overclock.

I think I have an older copy...not sure where to host it...maybe time to crack open Bittorrent and do some seeding!

Found it! 0705 in .rar form. Gimme a lil bit and I will seed this copy and post up the info

Just posted the BTCGarden 0705 FW torrent! Not sure how to link it here...I am guessing you can just search using your client?
