OMG! Thief! They're takin' our jerbs!!! err.. bitcoins! Cheesy

Sarcastic fear aside, it struck me again how smoothly this has gone. Here we have 100 virtual strangers who've made a promise in an anonymous forum to make a purchase worth $200-$4000+, a promise that 95% of have followed through and immediately paid up. I don't know how many of you have tried this before in other group buy contexts, but that just does not happen.

We're also collectively trusting two other virtual strangers with the equivalent of $100,000. Next, we're trusting a tiny, relatively unproven company to deliver us an in-development product that nobody outside that company has ever seen function. We do this knowing that even if things go incredibly smoothly with manufacture/delivery, and the difficulty ramp is better than expected, none of us will see our ROI for at least 6 months, likely longer.

Pundits on either side of the 'will bitcoin last' argument need look no further.

Away on an extended break

I have processed an emergency refund to cchan as discussed and agreed with Arklan.

TX: https://blockchain.info/tx/b6a821898f9a040e4061ab27112c4cb800149e31f85120b3902927dfa45c88b1

Please note that this is an one time exception here due to the circumstances involved - we're going to send the order in soon.

that leaves 5 unpaid.

john is, as i've said, going to submit the order immediately upon getting the info from friedcat. we are all set to go.

i've also picked up another hub so i can test 21 of these at a time. better then the 5 i was at... and of course, when i say test, i mean plug it in, run it for 1 share, then pack it.

Oh, testing against DoA parts, nice. Was not expecting that as part of the deal.

Now some of these other posts have me thinking about final getting rid of the stock firmware on my router.

(Anyone know how to unbrick a 703N with a bad flash without soldering to it?)

Try TFTP method ) Maybe it works )

how's that possible ?

My router has OpenWRT firmware and USB port. CGminer works under OpenWRT, because it is Linux. Plug some USB hub with Block Erupters connected into USB port of the router, SSH into it and start CGminer.

I also have Efika MX ARM computer and Cubieboard coming soon (shipped but still on the way). With USB Block Erupters + ARM computer it's possible to build energy efficient mining rig with hashing power = 300 MH/s * number of Block Erupters.

Great! I didn't see that in the specs (or more likely, read right over it not knowing what it is). Does anyone have a link to more information on Icarus so i can reduce my ignorance?

EDIT: Can't wait to plug Block Erupter in my Netgear WNDR3700 router and start mining )

how's that possible ?

I stayed up too late last night figuring out how to build cgminer for a WR703N (actually it builds the whole WR703N firmware around it), based on xiangfu's Avalon work.

I have it mining on an attached Cm1 now. Later today I'll test it with some Ztex boards and some BFL FPGA Singles.

Does anyone know the configuration flags to use to get cgminer to work with the Block Erupter?

No idea but friedcat posted this in the USB announcement thread...
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2106063

I saw that post but it didn't link to a specific commit. The only thing that looked related from May 10 may be a commit about Icarus - but i only say that because i don't know what Icarus is.

The "enable" flags from the HEAD of cgminer are:

Code:

  --enable-scrypt         Compile support for scrypt litecoin mining (default
                          disabled)
  --enable-bflsc          Compile support for BFL ASICs (default disabled)
  --enable-bitforce       Compile support for BitForce FPGAs (default
                          disabled)
  --enable-icarus         Compile support for Icarus (default disabled)
  --enable-avalon         Compile support for Avalon (default disabled)
  --enable-modminer       Compile support for ModMiner FPGAs(default disabled)
  --enable-ztex           Compile support for Ztex (default disabled)

Not sure if any of those are what I want for this device.

obviously there's some people running the full blades, but but i don't think the dev's have even gotten these little guys.

so, in short, nope! not yet.
