All those nice ASICs!

It's a pool funneling through another pool or a collective of users using the same account. If you were around in the bitcoin-GPU-mining days pool stats like that would not surprise you at all.

Apparently, all users moved at the same time to give me coins now...

I see a lot of rigs with multiple Block Erupters, and tons of USB hubs. Well I have 2 Block Erupters that I picked up for fooling around and testing CraPE with, but I doubt I'll ever mine what they cost back and make a positive ROI. I really think people throw that term "ROI" around without even knowing what it means, but that's another topic for another matter.

Anyways, here's my 90GH/s. It would take over 250 Block Erupters to get the same speed, and these 2 use less than 400W combined! I got another 60GH/s coming soon, and another 60GH/s that was a later order.

I got late in the game and ordered from BFL too, ended up trading my ls and sc for a monarch on the first day they started accepting orders for the card, seemed my best option to get my money back. Getting in early is extremly valuable in this game if you have reasonable gh/$ ratio.  Like you I don't see how is it that so many people buy BEs that most likely never make a positive ROI.
 
Happy mining!

Link to those cool looking fans?

Some of us got in early enough when the BE's first came out and continued to buy with BTC earned. Anything ++ is just cake at this point.  Would I buy any today at today's difficulty? Nope.

Here is 2 pics of my 9 card setup over 2 cases, I have in total 18 x 7950, 1 x 5870, 1 x 5830 , 1 x 5970(offline constant crashing) , 2 x 7970(offline using in gaming rig for friend for BF3)


Pictures:
4 x Gigabyte 7950                 in Haf-XB case (as pictiured) using Antec 1200W PSU limited to 4 cards
5 x Sapphire Vapour-X 7950  in Haf-XB Case (as pictured) using Thermaltake 1500W PSU

Nice! Never seen a 5 GPU rig.

Deep fried erupter, anyone?

Nice!!!!
Until I move my erupters to a new hub, I get about 1% HW errors.
I had them running in a powered hub, but the power brick blew a fuse (which I still have to find and de-solder), but I've seen by the time I got less HW errors with a fan cooling them.
Since we cannot have a temperature reading I guess that this is a good measure, so...
How does it perform? :-D

Deep fried erupter, anyone?

how warm does the jar get?

[Trillium]

About 5 degrees C hotter than ambient air. I put a glove on before and touched the exposed copper side (it has its solder mask removed) where most of the heat is removed from the ASIC and it seemed to be very cool (<40 deg C I'd guess). The glass is very thick so I might move it to another glass container tomorrow.

Neat Idea, I hope that isn't olive/vegetable/canola oil, it seems very green

Nice one

That's kind of the cameras fault. Its actually a very yellow/orange color. It's a generic cheap knock-off lubricating oil for vacuum pumps, not sure what it is derived from. I have a feeling its a silicone oil. The BE survived overnight so I'm happy.

Should be fine then, just an FYI most drug stores sell clear mineral oil as a laxative. I've used it before to insulate an extremely high voltage transformer. Cashier might give you weird looks though when you go buy like ten bottles of it

My first rig testruns. Everything will be moved to a new location tomorrow.
65Gh/s more firepower will arrive within a week or so

I hope there are some fans around there which were removed just for the photo's. For the lazy, it's ~275 watts.
