Thanks, working beautifully now!
I just laughed. That's 8,000BTC wasted, you realize how much hashing power you could get from Avalon or BFL for that money? Had you bought 20 x 66GH/s Avalon boxes for 75BTC each and set up a community farm, you would be hashing more than the entire network of Block Erupters, and saved yourself around 5,500BTC. I can't believe that so many people have been sucked in by what is clearly the ASIC ripoff of all time!
Actually as I do have such an equivalent order (Batch #2.1, Batch #2.2 and Batch #3) at Avalon, I can tell you that even though these were paid for in February, we still have not received any update on when they will ship out (they were supposed to be delivered in April).
In the mean time, AM blade orders have been delivered 10 days after payment and these are out there, generating BTC.
Our Avalon orders in the mean time have caused nothing but uncertainty and stress. By the time we'll get them, difficulty will have risen by all the AM devices shipped and ROI will take ages.
Guess where I would have preferred to place my BTC now?
Yes, to bypass one layer between cgminer and the device, and give us more control over it. It has allowed us to shave a lot of CPU off by doing so. It is unfortunately a lot more work, and keeps revealing to us interesting hardware limitations that the drivers paper over, but that is often the case that the better solution takes more effort.
Has anyone gotten this to work with the Anker USB 3.0 10-port hub? I tried it with cgminer 3.2.1, and it crashed shortly after starting.
Taking into account the skyrocketing difficulty increase, these things won't even break even after a year of continuous mining.
Why are we buying these again?

i bought some so i don't feel silly wearing this t-shirt: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-2924-grilled-cat-identity-silkscreened-t-shirts-10sh-230843

I asked the same question, ASICMINER claim to have sold 4,000 units, that's, right 4,000 x .3GH/s = 1,200GH/s

Try using CGminer 3.2.1.
This threads got a good amount of information that could help you too.

Yeah, I get this error when I try to run in cgminer 3.2 or 3.2.1:
cgminer: -S: unrecognized option
I built using --enable-icarus

what pool is everyone using with this?
getting high rejects (~10%) on eligius using cgminer 3.1.1.....
like this:
ICA 1: | 330.0M/331.5Mh/s | A:12016 R:1202 HW:238 U: 3.78/m

sure sure... they ship 400 a week.... in 14 days... go and tell that to the Marines!
From BFL? *lol* ask the guys preorders @ BFL liars a year ago
At least they are now receiving superior value product than Block Erupters that will actually give them a positive ROI.
BFL in a day shipped more of their entry level 5 GH/s units, with a total hashing power than the entire 4,000 Block Erupters can do combined.

It is a shame these are not a little cheaper, If I could get a ROI in 3 months I would do it in a heartbeat, 6 months and I would consider it.
If my calcs are correct these things currently will generate 0.01BTC per day, so 199 days for payback excl power/hubs/hosts/group buy fees/difficulty rises.

Alright thanks...I think I'm only getting 2 anyways
