Correct, it is NOT upgraded. Wish I would have had the option, but that is for NEW orders I guess.. Undecided

No, everyone had that option.

No, I didn't have that option either.

In a little over 2 weeks it will pay for itself. And depending on how much a Bitcoin is worth in the future will determine if it will continue to be worth running.  At only 35 Watts you really can't lose.   

I have been running on EMC for 6 days, the pool luck has been average and I have mined approx. 1.23BTC, ROI ($163) should be accomplished inside of 10 days, HOWEVER ROI on the BTC I used will be somewhere around 10 months!! hmph..  Come on Singles... Roll Eyes

10 months if the difficulty doesn't go up. But it will. You will never get back the BTC you spent. BFL is the only one who will profit from your purchase.

I ordered mine on the first day and finally received it yesterday. That was with Express shipping. The average speed is around 5.2gh. It has taken some work to get it running. I got it on bfgminer now, but it seems to be crashing my gpu's. I wasn't having any better luck on easyminer. I couldn't get it to connect to slush's pool that way either. The shattered mug was a nice touch.

Bummer on the mug. Sounds like you need to download Ubuntu and smoke that winduhs install, or buy an RPi to control your miner(s) they run under $50usd and have plenty of open source support online.

Nice,
Someone tested MinePeon?
anyone know if MinePeon is accually tested with bfl asics by anyone that is not mineForeman?

I am running Minepeon with a BFL 5 GH/s ASIC, running fine, 27 hours NO restarts. I am using a powered USB hub between the RPi & the ASIC as recommended.



I thought if you were just running 1 Jalapeno off your RPi that you could just plug it in to the USB port directly?
Links?

I found that just running off the RPi usb I was having to restart every so often when running the fpga. Added a powered usb hub and that issue disappeared, it seems that "IF" the usb port draws "too much" wattage it causes the RPi to fail.

Hm, how come? Was it something different about your order?
I have several orders (from July to August) and the upgrade option was there for all of them.

Think I've heard somewhere that the upgrade option is only available while the order is in the Processing stage, and once it enters in Production, is gone.

I wonder if you could email them to send another one Smiley

It would have been nice if they had given me the 2GH upgrade option on my order. I would take that over the coffee mug.

Sell it ASAP and make a profit .


It will be a door stop in a couple of months with no resell value



The main issue that is currently, and will continue to hold bitcoin back from its full potential, is people like you.

cgminer did not recognize the ASIC, but it did run the FPGA.

Even with updates?

Yes, the RPi running MinePeon is host. I am using BFGMiner to run the 5 GH/s ASIC & a BFL FPGA, ALL running smooth for last 24 hrs.

Have you tried it with cgminer yet? I can't get it working Sad (That's another thread..)

I have my Pi running my Jalapeno as well!
