["WAIT LIST"] BFL Mini-Rig Order Date/Ship Date

[Inspector 2211]

Dust,

         that explains it. You didn't jump the line at all - I just got my tracking number today, estimated delivery date is Saturday 8-11.
I don't know whether FedEx really delivers on Saturday, though.

edit: now the estimated delivery date shows 8-14

Cheers and no offense,

Harry C.

Inaba got my Mini-Rig yesterday. 8/10/2012.

Anybody want to sell 1 mini rig to me?

Please PM me.. what are your conditions.. ( no weird conditions please)

If my doctor tells me on Monday, after viewing the ultrasound images and blood work done on Friday, that I have terminal liver cancer or something in that ballpark, the miniRig is of no use to me, and I can sell it to you for what I paid for it.
(I'm not kidding - I wouldn't be kidding about topics such as this one.)

Of course, I sincerely hope that the tests show that I do not have any kind of cancer, and no liver cirrhosis, either.

I sincerely hope that your tests results don't show that also, but if they do, I'll give you $1k more than he will.

Just sayin....

[Cablez]

I also hope all is going to be well with you inspector.

I would pay you +$1000 on any serious offer you get if you do decide you will sell.

[Michail1]

I see a possible auction as I would also be interested; however, I would be more interested in the test results.

Best Wishes.

Wish you all the best man. If you do need to sell the rig, do it on eBay 

[papaminer]

I am sorry about this... inspector..

I'd rather pray for ur health than having a mini rig...

that's all i have to say...

[Inspector 2211]

I'm happy to say that both the blood test and the ultrasound images did not show anything wrong with my liver.
The excruciating abdominal pain    when coughing, which I experienced on Friday, remains unexplained, however.
Today, the pain was less severe - but not completely gone, either.

My miniRig is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Tuesday).
Today, AT&T installed a Uverse line in my third mining office, which will be dedicated to the miniRig.
(My other two mining offices contain 10 BFL singles, each, but about 2 months from now, they will host 12 and 13 Singles, respectively.
Once I have traded the 25 Singles and the FPGA miniRig for two ASIC rigs, I will go back to renting only one or two offices, most likely two.)

Thanks for all the good wishes!

Very good to hear Inspector, take care of yourself.    Back on topic:  #of mini-rigs purchased by me = 100................in a dream I had.

[tytus]

I have picked up my rig today ... there are no instructions in the box :-) how do You use the rig ? do I have to install the easy-miner from the bfl page (http://www.butterflylabs.com/drivers/) ? I hope I can use this on a linux machine :-(

Plug in to USB, install and run cgminer, shouldn't be any more complicated than that.

[tytus]

Thanks, running. I had to add -S for all devices by hand though (debian). Did anybody try to tune the speed with the bfl driver: "Auto-Tune Package – For speed tuning Mini Rigs" ?

Three weeks ago (there may be an updated version out now?), the auto-tune package hosed about 10 of the FPGAs in my two rigs.  Sonny sent me two firmware packages to load manually, which fixed the issue.  I also found that updating the firmware on one FPGA while the rest are mining almost always resulted in a bad firmware update, requiring me to do it over several times until I realized what was wrong.

Here are the two firmware packages Sonny sent to me.
https://www.box.com/s/e8cd6a2e651cc87b604c

What I did in the end was to use EasyMiner to view the properties of each FPGA and identify which ones were using the 1320 MH/s firmware.  I updated each of them to use the 1500 MH/s firmware and then mined with them for a while to see if errors showed up.  All but one had a 20%+ error rate, so I flashed them back to the 1320 MH/s firmware.

The Mini-Rig FPGAs don't throttle when there are errors, so I guess it was worthwhile since I got one running at 1500 MH/s with only a 2% error rate in exchange for a 13% speed increase.

[tytus]

I use cgminer but have little experience with this sa far and have problems with the interpretation of the output.

I see that:
- there are 19 devices
- the devices that report higher hash rate (MH/s) have few accepted shares (A:...) and low utility (U:...)
- there are no hardware (HW:0) errors

... to see this in easyminer I would have to connect it to a windows machine :-(

This is just a few minutes after start. Keep it running for at least 1 hour, then make a screenshot =). I've got 1 box with 19 units too btw.

[Garr255]

- there are 19 devices

This is because one MiniRig is actually 20 (+/- 1) Next generation Singles (which probably won't ever be sold individually).

Both of mine have 18, but each one hashes at the advertised speed.
