Hi,

I am Spekulatius, director and producer of the first Bitcoin Documentary. We touch on many aspects of the Bitcoin cosmos and of course no picture of it would be complete without the miners and their rigs!
So we would like to visit some dedicated people and show their rigs in our movie.

Are there any people from around Europe here to show off their best parts on camera;)?

Greetings from Germany,
Spekulatius

Nice!

Thanks a lot for that! Smiley

I was thinking 50/50

maybe they will get mad because they did not get that extra $

or it is fine as long as the product is in good condition and they get another 50% added for the upgrade.

Here is my final setup for my 11 BFL Singles (patiently awaiting to go home when the ASICS arrive) - They average about 9200 MH/S total



Hi,
I think I saw a few of your post where it says you are buying some SINGLES.

Anyway, I asked BFL this: Are you allowed to upgrade to ASIC when you buy your SINGLES aside from BFL itself?

I got no reply yet, but I am assuming you know the answer to this?

I'm getting jealous...... I have only 14 Spartans mining here for me (2 Quads and 6 Singles from Ztex) Cheesy

And ist a ghetto rig;


i desperately need to build a case for them some time :/



Haha. This looks similar to my setup except I've got x6500s and they're stashed even more haphazardly in a closet with a giant box fan. Whatever, it works.

Very nice setup slipbye. That's a dense 40 GH once they deliver. Just hashing to the wrong pool Tongue

Thought i would pop up a few pic's of my first rig i knocked togeather for the cairnsmore1 boards. Not very pretty and the wiring is a bit of a mess till i get the up/down link cables working but it will get sorted before it's racked.

With the A/C thats a whole lot of electricity for the amount of bitcoin your producing.  No way that setup is cost effective.

I see a computer behind the whatever is beneath the single and 2 card rig. That is probably his room.. Need it to be comfortable for him, not the pc equipment

Yep, it's mainly for me. It is still profitable paying only .04USD/kWh (well .11, but split 3 ways :p), but this month has been ~100 degrees out almost every day and I am sweating like crazy without it on! haha

Finally got my 1st BFL single! Next one should be here next week and 2 more in ~3 weeks! Pretty weak setup compared to most, but I am excited :p

2 ATI 5870s and 1 BFL single with my other computer hiding in the background and a windows A/C since it's been ~90-100 degrees here for the past month:

Wouldn't it be normal to have a diode on the +5v USB line to prevent feeding current back into the hub or port?

Ztex mentioned somewhere that +5V from usb isn't connected on the board.

I don't know should that diode be in the HUB or RPi, but the fact remains, and the easiest fix is aforementioned taping of the contact.
