After you connect to the ethernet controller, you can change all four sections of its IP afterwards.

i don't get this fully.
So, I will have to have my laptop setup manually on 192.168.0.X subnet, then connect with ethernet cable to tube?
Why internet connection is not needed to download firmware?
what if my network is on 10.X.X.X? Will tube function properly?

Another question, would these tubes support P2Pool?

notice some ppl having issues with Eligius.

Cute cross-thread pillow-fight. 

I just ordered 5 units with 2 controllers.

Great price. Anyone can recommend a PSU to go with it? I can't really view how the ports look like and how many ports I would be requiring.

I just tested the ethernet controller with Eligius pool using rockminer's T1 device and it doesnt work with Eligius pool
ghash works fine
I posted on Eligius as well.  not sure if it's rockminer issue or the Ethernet controller, same one that comes with a Tube

-- dogie, did you succeed with testing against Eligius?

Finally an insult other than being called a shill!

Thank you swimmer, I keep forgetting about the ignore function.

Dogie to be sure I appreciate your work and opinion, due to this I did MUCH more then "give him a break". In fact I gave him 9.7083 BTC, so please spare me your wrath  

Friedcat thank you for the clarity, I was/am disappointed my order was overlooked and missed "the boat" last week.



Ah, well then an attack. I guess I get to defend my use of such strong language like "slighted", I am sure if I articulate just what I experienced in this process you will find my use of the word appropriate if not logical.

I like several of you spent several thousands of dollars to participate in the "early" distribution. Unlike those who ordered after me, my 9.7083 BTC worth of gear DID NOT ship and will not ship for several more days. I wrote several PM to phasebird, emailed a few times to sales@ over the course of 4 days. NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE!!

So I download QQ, create user, add phasebird, and message..  BAMM response, "oops how did that get missed", "checking into it" and a few hours later DHL tracking. OK they missed me, but hey they are on it now...  oh no I will not ship until end of week, because your process is sloppy and my order fell thru the cracks..  I miss out on 7+ days of 8+ TH/s and this does not constitute an adjustment to atone for a mistake...

I was slighted, I feel slighted now, and because my order will be on the dock for several more days I will continue to feel slighted for sometime to come. I wanted to add my experience in the hope that friedcat would shore up his process. Now that I am aware that it is not wanted or childish to point out a failing or disservice I will be sure to look for a more childish location to focus my BUSINESS!!

FYI Finksy the asshole you see every morning in the mirror, yep it is you.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.  I'm happy that you are taking measure to keep our costs low.  There was never any doubt from anyone (else).

If your prices were higher due to different shipping methods and/or export fees, you'd be hearing about how much better a deal the S3's are.  You can't please everyone.


Grow the fuck up.

The shipping process is:

1. We ship the parcel to our local logistics company. If we have more than a few hundred
to ship at one time, the company will come and pick them up.

2. The logistics company ship them to Hong Kong DHL (preferred), or Hong Kong UPS/Fedex
if DHL shipments are overfilled.

3. Hong Kong DHL ship them to the target location.

It is usually slower than shipping directly with DHL, but it reduces the risk of exportation
investigation. It also reduces the cost of shipping so that we could keep the free shipping
policy for longer time.

Are there any trusted UK/European re-sellers selling small batches of this item or is everyone going direct?

Ok cool I should be good to go then, assuming my current thinking is correct as below:

- 200 W per board without overclock
- 250 W per board with overclock
- that puts my 850W PSU at 600-750 W when powering 3 boards
- puts my 1300W PSU at 1000-1250 W when powering 5 boards
- 1A x 12v max X 2 (max) for the controller = +24 W, will probably run this from the 850W PSU**
-
- profit (hopefully?)

**This assumes molex connectors on a PSU run on the 12V rail... does anyone know if they do? If not, which rail do they run from? Pretty sure its the 12V though, otherwise GPU manufacturers wouldnt ship molex-to-pcie adapters...

Pickup is in bulk to get you reasonable prices, give the man a break.


That's correct.

The boards are electrically separate so the PSU doesn't care. Just do NOT power the same board (ie two touching PCI-E ports) with different PCI-E ports or you'll cross load the PSUs and mess up both.

Day #2 with shipping label, but no pick-up? Thinking label was printed to placate me. I would rather just have it shipped in the order it was paid for, kind of like the advertisement suggests.. Guess when you are the only one "shipping" you can afford to slight your customers. 30 days until Bitmain ships again, I can not wait as this "deal" is not winning my attention.

At least the 3 evga G2 1300's actually got shipped so power will be on hand when/if DHL ever gets my shipment.  

haha just realized im then right on the edge with the 1300 W PSU. Maybe not as close as with the 850.

Am I understanding right that you link the boards together? So basically I'd have 4 boards from one assembly and 1 board from a second assembly linked and powered by the 1300 and the remaining 3 boards on the second assembly linked and powered by the 850?

Try this:

If you already changed the controllers' IP. Please just append /FlashMega to the real URL
in your web browser.

not complaining, but where is the logic?

my rig is at customs now.
i hope they will relase it soon.

is it possible to order some controllers only? i got only 3 and this is not enough

Spent another 2 hours on them trying every different configuration, psu, controller, connector option I could think of and I was unable to get any better results.  Max I got 1 to mine at was 250GH with 2 boards mining and 13 of their asics showing bad.
