Does the stratum proxy come with this? I am guessing I should be able to install it, or are the ASICMINER blades being managed through your software?

Yay!

Looking forward to tinkering while my ASICs arrive 

Hopefully I won't have to tinker for too long...

After a long night of 3d printing, making up product packaging, and figuring out shipping, the first shipment of MineNinjas are on their way to their new homes. It's been quite the learning experience just getting this far, and I am super excited about where this project is heading. 

I've started writing the wiki over at our Github repository which will help the first batch recipients get started with their new toys.

You'll want to get the DLINK D7 7 Port USB hub, particularly if you are going to be using USB Block Erupters.  For other USB based ASICs (that don't take power over USB), pretty much any USB 2.0/1.1 compatible hub will work.

Have you figured out which powered USB Hub works with the MineNinja?  I read somewhere that certain USB Hubs don't work with the BeagleBone Black. 

Pricing is now in BTC and very competitive.  These BeagleBones are very flexible and could easily also be used as an inexpensive offline wallet, cheap web browser PC, etc.

Our package deals come with everything preconfigured to mine; or pick up an off-the-shelf BeagleBone and make your own.

We also opened up some international shipping options.

Note: Make sure you get a 5v/110v power brick, we don't recommend powering the BeagleBone over USB.

Thx.

Maybe have a look at Fedex or UPS, they take care of all the export/import shenanigans.

US only for now, I haven't figured out international shipping yet.  You can use a service such as myamericanshipper or similar.

Here's our repo on Github: https://github.com/slayersoft/MineNinja/

Glad the site is up but ...shipping is US only 

Is there a repo for the software?

Think of more as a way to support a cool open source project and getting the Block Erupter as a token of our gratitude. Of course they are cheaper when you buy them wholesale/group buy.

BeagleBone is a fantastic platform. ++ Over the RPi.

Watching and nice work!

ASICMiner USB Block Erupter $399? a little expensive compared to BTC 2.25 sold in the forum.

Open Source startup CoinNinja (www.coinninja.com) launches its first product geared for miners of the Bitcoin crypto-currency. The MineNinja is a turn-key device for hosting Bitcoin mining hardware, such as ASICs from Butterfly Labs, Avalon, and ASICMiner. With the bitcoin mining market rapidly moving to ASIC devices which provide more Hash power per watt, the MineNinja is the perfect compliment as it further reduces power consumption by eliminating the need for a PC.

"We chose the BeagleBone Black over the Raspberry Pi as it is truly open source. The BeagleBone design is totally open, and that cannot be said about the Pi. Furthermore we found the BeagleBone to be far more reliable, and operating temperatures to be significantly lower.”

Leveraging the power of Open Source development, the MineNinja is a great example of the Maker revolution for innovative small business. The MineNinja is small batch manufactured using the Open Source BeagleBone Black from Texas Instruments and its enclosure is 3D printed on an open source RepRap 3d Printer. The MineNinja is so low-power that it can easily be powered using only a USB port.

"We believe in the Open Source movement, all of our hardware and software is fully open source.  We encourage users to make their own MineNinja, everything needed to make your own be easily found in our Github repositiory." - states Alessandro Nardella, Lead Developer at CoinNinja.

The MineNinja leverages existing open source software such as Angstrom Linux, Cgminer and the ANUBIS web front-end to Cgminer.  The MineNinja uses the BeagleBone Black without any hardware modifications, which allows users to further refine the product by adding their unique contributions.

The MineNinja BeagleBone Bitcoin miner is available today in limited quantities at www.mineninja.com.
