I will provide a DHCP enabled RPI image for my customers purchasing rpi controllers. For  an extra $20 I'll add Wi-Fi capability.

So we know for sure that they only require a Pi to run...not that POS controller?  If so I might have to pick up a few.

yeah have to agree with you that the controller is not up to par. while mine worked fine it has the 1 pool limit with no roll over.  and very few pool choices.

while those two issues scored for me I know that it hurt you.

I am thinking of having 'crazyguy'  program a rasp pi for me and ordering 1 or 2 of these.  

I will delay until crazy nails down the rasp pi for me.

+1

why not crazzyguy add a raspi on this so after recieving the item you will surely sure that is plug and play

You lost me on this? We are just waiting to see if it truly ONLY needs a Pi to function. From how I read it I think it needs the controller and a Pi.

I am hoping for the rasp pi as a standalone.  I  will wait for details.  
I sold off my tubes at a really good price due to my great luck with them.  basically 2btc in and when all was said and done 3.7btc back for plus 1.7btc
So I do not have any controllers or tube parts.

The house is pretty empty right now for a change.


Edit:

 that adapter is looking good.

I've received a photo of the adapter that has been created for connecting to a RPi. The interface is USB, so that's good news.



I will ship overseas, but I can not estimate a price as I don't have package dimensions. The weight will be somewhere around 8kg.

I'm considering this, but I'd like to see more details first (I'm a first time buyer, no Tube or any other miner yet), but:

  • I'm confused, two group buys for the same unit at the same time?
  • Wouldn't it make more sense to have one combined group buy?
  • What's the difference?
  • Is this GB only for folks in the US (I'm here in Europe)?

I would assume you are better off using a group buy not USA based for these.

The Pi is supported, what I don't know is the interface. If it's GPIO to the Pi, like the BTCGarden AMV1, then it will only support the RPi and the BEController. If it's usb, then there's a good chance you'll be able to run it on a Beaglebone, Windows PC, or whatever you like. I'm trying to get clarification on this.

PM Sent - I'm good for 4 of these guys should be a fun project assembled or not  Cool

Assemble 4 of these, and tell me you think the same thing.  Man, after I built 4 tubes, I quickly placed an order on Amazon for an electric screw driver hahahah!!

Yes, the tube had an ungodly amount of screws. I put one together myself, and while it was fun, I wouldn't enjoy assembling more than a few. AM started selling them fully assembled after batch 1.

the tubes were easy to assemble

if these do .75 watts vs 1.1 watts and if they are stable with a rasp pi  they will be a solid buy.

According to friedcat, the only customizations made to CGMiner were to the usb interface. Therefore, the number of pools you can specify will be the max allowed by Cgminer. 4 should be no problem.



sounds good .  I will pm you later tonight
