Topic: FancyBitcoin's 60Mh Scrypt miners, pros and cons (Read 1000 times)
Ya it is annoying. I am looking for a way to flash a new OS on this rig. Any ideas anyone?
When I finally get to ROI, I will let you know. It's looking at about 6 months on this unit.
I should also note that this is co-located at a very high end, well cooled datacenter.
The performance of this machine is at max capacity.
I wonder if I have someone mining on my machine besides me. But I may never really know, since I don't have root.
Is there by chance another OS that I could use for this machine?

You have a point. Without root access you have no way to tell what it is really doing. For all you know these could be part of the chinese military hacking network. What a brilliant method to get around blocking IP ranges from specific countries. Not to sound like a tinfoil hat. I'm just saying, you have no idea.
BTW- Since the last report, I have been getting up to 7 LTC a day. It's between 6 LTC and 7.5 LTC per day with this rig it seems.

they retail 7-8K USD , i think thats way too much
how much did you pay for it and where?
Also, I should note that I never did get the root or ssh access from the manufacturer.
The config screen is not password protected at all.

Not very impressed with this miner, based on cost, performance and features. Im still mining with it. I made 3.88 LTC yesterday (06/02/2014), it started out being almost 8 LTC a week ago, but it has been performing at about 50 MHs for the last few days rather than 60 MHs as advertised.
Pros:
It is hashing at the advertised rate, in fact it is a lot faster. It is advertised at 60Mh, but it hashes pretty consistently at 74Mh
Shipping: Was FAST from China, it took 4 days to get all the way to me on the western hemisphere of the USA.
Seller was very responsive
Cons:
The factory refuses to give the root/ssh username and password.
I spoke to the seller several times since buying this last week, and we can not get this from the factory.
I wrote this on their feedback:
"I don't really want a refund. I will keep the item. I just wanted to make a note here, that the factory is not providing the username/password to login to this computer and change settings. This makes me extremely nervous because I need to harden security on this unit. I planned on buying several more of these miners, but without the proper access to the computer, I can not chance buying any more of these. I have bought many of these units before this, and they all had root access, except this one. "
