Topic: [Announcement] Block Erupter USB - page 19. (Read 252018 times)
to my understanding it is possible to run 127USB devices from the one host...... any ideas why i am failing to pass 58? would love to add another 2 racks to that photo for ya!
edit: I guess a photo only takes a min]
Thanks. That's amazing ... and an unofficial record!
Running approx 17.4 GH/s (if 58) or better! Appreciate Elasticband for posting such an incredible pic.
bitminter calims all my devices are running at around 670MH/s, i believe this to be a false reading though? 58 USB = 37.5GH/s according to bitminter
Most likely the reading's off, but if you're actually yielding double the theoretical value of 336MH/s then it's even better
A more realistic observation seems to be that the Avalon chips on BKK K1 style devices could hit the market and reach a significantly lower price-point. Maybe as low as 1/10 the cost by my guesstimates. And it could happen quickly and soon.
Don't expect Avalon Chips before August and ready K1 on September. Although a K1 is 0.08 BTC per chip and around 20€ for the board and assembly. So roughly 40-50€ per K1 including shipping.

Since BFL is starting to ship a lot of jalapeno
Are they?
Even if they were, they've got a huge backlog. The only way they could fill it would be to go with third-party assemblers, but they would probably be going backward on every order in that case. I suppose they could simply jack the price and give the finger to their pre-order victims and I would not put it past them.

My read is that the 130nm and actually much more advanced than the 110nm ones and I don't sense that Avalon denies this. It would be ultra-cool if ASICMINER distributed them raw. Maybe they have plans to but I've not seen it.
And hopefully the next gen of chips are well underway by at least some people who see the value in distributing them widely.

Since BFL is starting to ship a lot of jalapeno, are you planning to drop your price ?
A block erupter = 2 BTC for 330 Mh/S
And jalapeno = 2.2 BTC for 5 Gh/s

I have 77 of the little things........ 19 laying dormant at the moment 
Can they be set up on a Mac easy? I am completely illiterate when it comes to Apple products and their operating system, but my Mrs owns one of them, maybe i can link the other 8 upto this? I have the hubs

got 58 USB's up and running via 6 anker USB ports...... at this point my computer stops recognizing new devices and refuses to find drivers....
Wow! That certainly deserves a photo.

I have interest into buying some.
But, can someone explain me how to make them work with CGMiner?

I've posted a short desciption to get them hashing...(cgminer 3.1 & win):

I see you're using version 3.2.0 of cgminer. I know kano said something about rewriting the USB interface to automatially detect all asics. So, my guess is that it is expecting the WinUSB driver instead of the silab driver that works with 3.1.x.
I'm guessing zadig would be your friend in this instance. Just have it install the WinUSB driver. Or, try a 3.1.x build of cgminer, the silab drivers and start it using something similar to:
cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COMx -S //./COMy
where x and y are the COM ports for your USB miners, reported under Device Manager
I use cgminer 3.1.1
I installed these drivers
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx
I then plugged in all of my miners, waiting for each one to get recognized before plugging in the next one.
Here's my Device Manager screen:
Guessing this part isn't necessary, but I created a clone of the cgminer-3.1.1-windows directory that I use for running my GPUs, and run my USBs from the cloned directory. I renamed cgminer.conf (which was for my GPUs) and just input the URL/user/pass manually when prompted. After cgminer starts, I write out a cgminer.conf so it will save my pool info.
I start cgminer using:
Code:
cgminer-nogpu.exe --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM12 -S //./COM22 -S //./COM24 -S //./COM25 -S //./COM26 -S //./COM30 -S //./COM33 -S //./COM34 -S //./COM35 -S //./COM36
No need to clone the dir. You can create two config files and run two instances without issue. I've got one instance for my GPUs and another for my Erupter.
