I've had one of these on stock clock running off one of my D750 PSU setups for just shy of 10 hours straight, behind ckpool proxy pointed at ozcoin. Currently a 7-order difference in accepted shares versus rejected, reporting 816GH on the device and about 900GH at the pool, 98.4% efficient and 0.11% hardware errors. I'll test it out on some other pools later and see what looks like it should work. Probably any pool reported earlier with the same error response as ozcoin (so probably based on the same stratum backend code) would work just fine. I noticed some other pools, eligius and others using BFG stratum code, seem to hose the works again.
Install ckpool's proxy on a linux machine and punch in your pool and worker info into ckproxy.conf, point your Tube at the proxy.
I haven't ever messed with BFG as a proxy, but I don't think it requires a pi to run. If you got a linux machine the instructions probably aren't that different for installation.

So, news. I talked to ckolivas earlier and he helped me out. I directed a Tube through his hardware and he tracked down the issue. For one, there was indeed exactly the problem of the extranonce2 field always returning 4 bytes (I had mistakenly supposed 8 bytes but after looking at some source when it says '8 chars' in the error it means hex characters, two per byte) when the pool requests something other than 4 bytes. He also noted a lot of corrupt hex in the packets and it looks like the code was generally a botch job designed to work on their own pool, or maybe just ghash, whatever. In any case, not very good for actual customers.
So he patched the proxy in ckpool (https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool) to truncate the extranonce2 and generally fix what was going wrong. I've got an instance testing now with a functional tube and so far it's looking good. At least, it works with ozcoin and slush that I've tested so far. Pools that don't use BFG software, best we can figure.

sidehack make sure I am understanding this right as I am not as technical as you are:
To mine on Slush for example I need to download CK's proxy and run the tubes through the proxy on a linux machine or as FC explained above purchase a Raspberry and make the described changes and basically proxy through it???
Thanks in advance.

Another half-dozen on their way. Reselling these looks sketchy so I may as well run them into dust.

i was looking at the same PSU - note: it's available on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438011 and they accept bitcoin with a $30 rebate.
Yeah I got one from newegg last week, also microcenter had $30.00 rebate, BUT!! you can only get 1 rebate regardless of store you buy from
. So if you have already used your 1-shot, B&H have lowest un-rebated price and free shipping.I am attempting to power 5 - Tubes with 4 evga 1300 G2.. fingers crossed!

How to run on pools other than ghash.io and btcguild with Raspberry PI and bfgminer
1.Modify /etc/apt/sources.list on your Raspberry PI
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/raspbian/raspbian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/raspbian/raspbian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
2.Update the aptitude package on your Raspberry PI
sudo apt-get update
3.Download bfgminer
wget http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/4.7.0/bfgminer-4.7.0.zip
4.Uncompress
unzip bfgminer-4.7.0.zip
5.Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libncurses-dev yasm curl libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev pkg-config libudev-dev uthash-dev libusb-dev libevent-dev
6.Enter bfgminer directory
cd bfgminer-4.7.0
7.Run configuration
./configure
8.Compile bfgminer
make
9.Run bfgminer
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.f2pool.com:3333 -u -p 123 --stratum-port --set-device PXY:diff=
10.Set static IP for Raspberry PI(modifying /etc/network/interfaces)
Take the IP address 192.168.0.100 as an example. Replace iface eth0 inet dhcp as:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask and gateway are decided by your Raspberry PI's local network settings.
11.Configure ethernet controllers
Same example as above. Modify the pool address on ethernet controller to 192.168.0.100 with port 3333.

cool is that while mining? if so which pool?
where do you buy them then? if you order fewer than 10 can you go direct to FC?
where do you buy them then? if you order fewer than 10 can you go direct to FC?
yes while mining @ approx. 800 GH/s on the pool that shan't be named.io unfortunately will not connect to eligius.st.. yet!
You need to create a subnet of 192.168.0.x on your router... OR you may need to just change router to ip 192.168.0.1.. Similar to antMiner setups.
Once there you do as FC states @ the beginning of thread type 192.168.0.254:8000/FlashMega into browser, I did this each time I added a new tube set to the chain.
oh good i get a break my router is .0. it is a dlink thanks for the answer I will book mark this.
I have a place that I pay 15 cents a kwatt then get an 84% discount on the bill so I pay 2.4 cents a kwatt.
I can only use about 1000 watts maybe 1200. I think I will run the one into the ground.
that is the miners psu for sure I have 2 along with some more expensive seasonics

Can someone pleas enlighten me.
Is my understanding correct: 9.9 BTC gets you 10 x of these assembled:
Total of 40 ASIC populated boards that deliver 8TH/s
What are the power requirements? It looks like one is going to need at least 4 1000W power resupplies with additional cables to power all 10?.
August 26, 2014, 07:34:27 PM
I confirmed that ghash is the only one working several days ago.
thanks I knew I read it. so with sidehack finding mmpool.org and you finding ghash we are at two.
