I will buy 2 of these. Is there a limited number of units in this GB? Are you going to post a list of who has paid like in the GB's of old?
Thanks!
there's a limit, but it hasn't been met yet. If there's a great desire for a public list of participants, I can definitely add it Thanks!
Do you have any instructions as far as putting the "kit" together?
I'm just wondering as far as if it will require any soldering? Or if it is a friendly build kit.
it looks like you assemble it without soldering.I'm just wondering as far as if it will require any soldering? Or if it is a friendly build kit.
Based on lit of contents, I think it goes like this:
- assemble blades: install thermal pads onto pcb, attach heatsink.
- installed assembled into the cooling structure (cage)
- cross-connect serial wires. (up to 32 blades can be linked together)
- install the fan on the cage, connect power to one of the blades.
- connect Ethernet controller to one of the serial ports
- connect power and turn on.
I think that a step by step guide (pictorial) would be made rather quickly by those who receive their Tubes first.
Here's a video that shows assembly, except the thermal paste in the video is replaced with a thermal pad in the kit for sale. Looks pretty easy:

That actually looks super easy. The thermal pad I assume replaces the weird step with the machine I suspect.
Canary - any word on the box this will fit in for the shipping label?
waiting on info from fc... they are checking with factory on how they're gonna package this up. there's a possibility that each kit will come in it's own box. so just unpack and assemble. as soon as I have all dimensions I will post here.

Put me down for 4 of these.

At 0.9 J/GH, a full miner would come out to 720-765 Watts, correct?
Using 800 GH/s and 720W over at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator shows me that network growth would have to average only 10% in order to turn a profit. (This is assuming it takes 20 days from today to start hashing).
I'm on the fence.

no depends on the psu you use. say your 800gh pulling 720 watts from the psu. if your psu is 90% it will pull 800 watts from the wall plug. So my guess is an evga 1300 watt psu will read 800 at the kwatt meter.
so some of the cheaper price is lost back on power.
if compared to a s-3 but for much less price say 100 dollar less then 2 s-3's you burn back 50 cents a day in power or 15 usd a month extra for power. so after 6 months the s-3 is better.
bottom line is btc needs to go up in price after you take delivery on this gear.
I do my roi in usd not btc since I pay tax and do not want to face IRS issues.
the 1.04 btc is cheaper today in USD vs. couple days ago
buy 1.04 btc with USD instead of using your mined btc.
yep that is why a miner needs to have a coinbase account.
I purchased my coins for this from coinbase at 525 usd a coin. so my cost is 1.04 x 525 = 546 usd for 800 gh
As I have many psu's from gpu rigs. so my psu is paid for already just waiting for this gear.
I will be back to some mining gear in house
4 s-3's
1 tube
14 gridseed blades
about 3400 watts
I'm in for one! I can't wait to put this sucker together, it looks cool as heck, and the price is right.
I'll wait until box size is nailed down to send the label.

I'm in for two. Will send btc in the next day or so.
I'd still kind of like one, just for the mystique of it as a piece of bitcoin history.
Anybody out there have free electricity want to host one for me and keep any profit it earns over cost?

I paid top BTC for a lemon cube.
They should stick to making chips
Ill pass
edit --
Im not faulting you Canary. A lot of buyers of those
cubes got ones that would not hash high. Arrived as a puzzle you
had to pull apart and reassemble. Or like mine, all of the above
plus had to be restarted every 10 days until it just stopped working at all.

CITM,
PCIe power connectors. It looks like there are 2 per board and each connector is 6 pins?
TIA
yep, looks that way on all the pics...PCIe power connectors. It looks like there are 2 per board and each connector is 6 pins?

I also will wait on label until additional dimensions info is specified.
Gonna test this out on our D750 kit, which should be able to handle 800W DC just fine (stock power draw for one of these should be about two overclocked S1, which the D750 kit handles without issue).
Anyone interested in basic small-scale hosting, I can assemble your miners at no extra charge. Open-shelf setup so there's no "rackable" limitation.

I will order one kit. so I need to send 1.04 btc correct?
yep, one Tube is 1.04 btc. I added payment addy to OP.thanks!
I am sending you 1.04 btc in about 10 minutes.
I will hold back on label.
this is your posted address
https://blockchain.info/address/1DDZYpAgAQNsykvM499et8XpMfRJokFrFE
this is the tx id
https://blockchain.info/tx/fc07c66c6ac6585d49c6ca7ed787f734bae84f944c853e4197fa984e9d89216b
So I was the first to buy this from you.
I will wait for label. Hoping you can clarify what label works as 1 large flat rate seems too small.
Try to order some regional c flat rate boxes. I think they will be good.
Once I get this I will post photos of assembly in this thread.
Right off the bat it looks like it wants 8 pcie connectors 2 per board so I believe
this will want the evga 1300 psu.
I have some links to buy an evga 1300 psu. once I confirm that psu works I will let everyone know.
I figure 850 x .9 = 765 watts then the psu eff so a 91 percent psu should be 840 watts. an 88 percent should be 870 watts
I am located in China, can I participate in your group buy?
You can tell the asicminer to deliver to my address directly.
I need one full set.
Thanks!
