My tube arrives tomorrow. From reading this thread am I correct in my current assumption that If I don't get a ras pi or Linux machine I have very limited pool choices ie 2 pools? There is no windows or direct mining solution yet?
seems to be this way. I have an account with ghash more to trade then mine guess I will mine there and maybe join the other one mmpool.org I am not anti -pi or anti linux I just have not had time to buy one and learn to use one.

I might mess with it later if I get time. We were looking at tweaking the code for slush's proxy to include a bytelength test and truncation before repacking and forwarding the shares. Worst comes to it, we can look into that again.

Thanks for the quick replies. I will try BGFMiner tomorrow and see if I can get it to work with Bitminter. If not I will have to go with one of the 2 pool options till I can get a PI in place or another workaround can be implemented.

I did get BFG to work as a proxy using my s3 as a test on Slush's pool. I downloaded the windows version 4.7 and ran the below cmd line. I just pointed the miner to my computers ip address.
Cd\ cd Bit/BFG bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u xxx.worker2 -p xxxx --stratum-port 3333 --set-device PXY:diff=825
I don't have the actual tube yet but BFG does work as a proxy as sorts so I will try it when it arrives. Maybe sidehack can download BFG 4.7 and give it a try when he gets a chance.

I'll look into it later this afternoon. There's probably enough demand for it to make it worthwhile. I try to avoid BFG in general but unless we want to recode slush proxy that might be the easiest option.

There's a REASONABLY good chance that filtering them through LeaseRig's LR3 proxy will sanitize and fix this issue, too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=544732.0

ALL 10 are built!! I have a new respect and empathy for our friends in China. With only 3 active @ one time the temp in the lab (3000 sqft open space) is sitting @ 40C - 104F so I am literally sweating while turning a screw driver. And after round two announcements I only saved .2 BTC ($100) damn near slave wages. Two things have come to mind; 1st - This is a great way to trim any fat off the old love handles. 2nd - These would be great way to heat a house up to kill bed bugs! Oh yeah all ready looking @ trailers and durable flex hosing ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks FC & Phasebird I will never forget this experience.

Has anyone actually calculated that they can make a BTC profit from buying these?
What assumptions did you use about power costs and difficulty increases in order to show a positive ROI?
They are so pretty that i want one, and i may run a couple in winter as a high tech space heater but every way i do the sums this comes out as a loss

http://www.iasicminer.com/index.php/action-channel-name-counter here is the calculator for your problem. the english version is temporary un-available but you should easy to do the similar calculation. As our estimate,within 8% avg hashrate growth rate and 0.15 USD/KWH electricity rate, it is def profitable.

So you can profit on this device only if the average increases in difficulty is no more than 8% per change. Dont think il be wasting my BTC on mining gear anytime soon then. Maybe il pick up one of these when they are considered defunct.

How about Bitfountain steps up and revamps the website with whatever suite they used for theirs. Are they still the majority shareholder?

For international buyers, we mainly rely on official sale thread post by FC as we used to do ,so that the english version hasnt been well improved so far.

yes, the question is if you want to, as you have to interconnect the two and always keep them next to each other.

yes, the question is if you want to, as you have to interconnect the two and always keep them next to each other. I thought there were three connectors per controller? Obviously at some point they would require interconnection but not for two... I will know for sure as soon as I get mine! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

you can run 4 full tubes with 1 controller Edit: sorry folks, was thinking 8, but typed 4. 1 controller can run 8 tubes.

8 Tubes? Each Tube is given a 5-bit address, which covers 0-31 so 32 blades at 4 per Tube makes 8 Tubes.
