As promised PCB "porn" ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs24.postimg.org%2Frzh8mwgwl%2F20141201_225812.jpg&t=665&c=1Zg3akM4n1bQvQ) Its cute. Looking forward to seeing pics of a working unit.

Forget using Rpi. You can use TPLINK TL-MR3020 as controller, price about 20 USD. Buy it at your local computer store ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Thanks for the suggestion ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I have been toying with the idea of buying one of these. I still like the idea of using a Raspberry Pi B+. I think one could connect 4 of these miners as it has 4 USB ports and I could compile cgminer on it if needed. I would run tightvnc on it so that I could monitor it remotely. Perhaps one can do all these things with a TL-MR3020 (except for the 4 USB ports) if flashed with the appropriate firmware but I suspect that the Raspberry Pi's community would help me think of other applications that I could run at the same time. Rpi + memory card vs TL-MR3020 + powered usb hub TL-MR3020 + powered usb hub still win ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) If you connect 4 miner to Rpi, i bet the load will be high for you to able run other app. I don't know Rpi+, but the version before + series is a crap. The hardware share interrupt between USB & ethernet hence make problem with mining sortware.

Sleek looking miner. Have you thought about a "special edition" white and have the dice dot's for numbers? Would be fun design.

MMkay, here's a question, are the driver documentation for cgminer/bfgminer going to be released to the respected software owners, or are you just going to fork your own spin of the software to work it the way you want it to?
also, 82 Euro / 101.50USD / 120.75AUD, Excluding shipping, for a 150GHs unit that would probably only do 100GHs pool side.. Wheres the Ausie resellers? Buy up 100 of them will ya?
and please tell me that you're not forcing people to use this for only your 1/20,000,000 (i did math right? didn't i?) chance game? i see it as an entry level miner, letting people decide what they do with it...

1/2,000,000 every 10 minutes. It's full miner, you can do solo mining without full node by configuring cgminer to use http://solo.ckpool.org/You need a PC or a wifi TP-Link router with special firmware attached via the USB port.

Well, i been mining using technobit gear. All of their gear do exactly as advertised & never reach 5% error. The dice reach 157 GH on screen shot, so that what you will get on your pool.

All Technobit boards do have patches for cgminer. In other words it is fully open source. Despite other devices from day one all Technobit products DO show hashing rate exactly and dupes and hw errors are not accounted AS HASHESHS. The only diference are pool rejects but they are between 0.1-0.3% with stratum so in other words when you take avarage speed from the scree and multiply it by (100 -hw%) you will get hw rate as shown from the pool

If technobit has the drivers and gives them up in the fork tree of cgminer, unless technobit tells them how to edit and modify the drivers, its up to technobit to implement it correctly. so guess what, when a new cgminer comes out, no updates to the drivers are going to be implemented, any security holes, memory leaks, chip killing code will be present in the next patch and there after... and i don't just mean cgminer, Luke-jr's BFGMiner as well. no instructions for the code = no updates. (add human readable points in the code explaining what each part does yeah? better then nothing) all im saying is technobit better not do what rocketminer does and ignore the mining devs. (and run off and try and centralise bitcoin via amhash) also, look at the times on that screen shot, 1 minute run time, my "New R-Box" shows the same hash rates as that in that amount of time. then after 24 hours its down to 65-70GHs. my 333Mhs Block Erupter could pull 66GHs in 1 minute, i should sell it as " The Only 66MH/s USB Block Erupter in the WORLD" ignore the fact that the software doesn't have enough measurement points to even out the numbers yet. this thing would be good, not saying its bad, just trying to kill the hype of "OMG TEH HASHS, LIEK II GETZ IT ALL!" what you see on screen does not relate to hashes at the pool, 150Ghs minus Client side rejects - error rejects - pool side rejects (which may be sent back to the client as rejected) = pool side hashes. also, not all silicon is going to be perfect, there maybe a bad egg in the stock. not all calculation processes will be working, if that silicon chip has 1024 calculators, there maybe one or 2 dead, you could be unlucky and have the chip with a bug flying into the light on the lithograph (ignore the fact there is a better chance on getting a btc block with this then that happening with most die casting facilities) also, that screen shot is modified, no showing the accepted rejected and dupes in the list (lets see that, how many dupes are there? common please), the R:0 and H:0 does not line up on the other lettering. on 5th look, it does line up, counted the pixels.. i think. now, being someone with little play money, and stuck to only buy "hobbyist grade" mining equipment, i do want this, i just don't want it to fall in the piece of shit category. people like me get burned by this, whilst the rich folk get all the good stuff and get richer. here is the full bundle with TP-link included available now: https://technobit.refersion.com/l/1e5.19333 (test link - affiliate program not currently available) "DICE"+ preprogramed TP-link + USB cable pack SHIPMENT18-th December 2014 first production batch nice nice nice

is it just me, or does it look like it has both in the but the board doesn't have a barrel mount point? As promised PCB "porn" ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs24.postimg.org%2Frzh8mwgwl%2F20141201_225812.jpg&t=665&c=1Zg3akM4n1bQvQ) or is there 2 versions?, it be cheaper to make a barrel to PCIe power plug adaptor then spinning a new board yes? or i could be missing something entirely?

a patched version of cgminer does not mean documentation to the developers of cgminer so they can implement the drivers for said device correctly.

What are you talking about dude? Your sentences twist up & make no sense. Who is they you mean there? Who will implement? Type it slowly, one by one. This is not a race.

What are you talking about dude? Your sentences twist up & make no sense. Who is they you mean there? Who will implement? Type it slowly, one by one. This is not a race. The people that "They" are is Ckolivas and if i recall correctly, Kano too. They are the people who run and maintain CGMiner. Any drivers for hardware that use CGminer is licensed under the GPLv3. This means that the source to any modifications that the hardware makers make to CGMiner code MUST be provided by law if the hardware makers distribute modified binaries. if they do not, they could get sued Technobit has offered the drivers as open source, but they better not just throw a blob of code up on the net and call it a day. If the hardware developers do not give documentation on how the "open source" drivers work with the mining software, things are not going to work properly. Both Luke-JR and Ckolivas will require this. EG: Rockminer made drivers for CGMiner 4.3.3, making the "New R-Box" run at 110Ghs, but there was a new version of CGMiner out with a security patch. The devs (Ckolivas) attempted to implement the new modified drivers into the new 4.7.1 and 4.8.0, the drivers are not working correctly. Because Ckolivas does not understand how the drivers work, he needs documentation to get it running correctly. all that Ckolivas can do is modify some numbers and code to get something out, but CGMiner 4.7.1 and 4.8.0 does not run the "New R-Box" at 110GHs but at 80Ghs to 50Ghs. Some people are lucky to get it working at 120GHs with it, but not all. do you understand now? technobit better not follow rocketminer. and i dont mean in the way of making a little mining box like the R-box's, i mean in the way of ignoring the software developers of the mining software.

Technobit never push their driver back to cgminer. If you read cgminer thread & cgminer thread, technobit driver never integrated to new original cgminer version. When new cgminer out from CK, technobit fork the cgminer & make new patch. So technobit maintain the driver on their own.
