maybe it was but there was never mention about the promo, and when it ends. Like i said i was seriously consider buying it, the thing that was holding me back was, there was no real performance or feedback regarding this device until recently. So i think its very misleading, another way for you to charge more

You don't have to buy one

Will Zenminer work with Gridseed Blades if I purchase one? I love new toys.

Yes they do

thats fine, what im trying to underline here is the profit margin must be high on the miners, if they can afford to give it as a gift at cost of $69.

it's a promo. which is over. move along.

Josh already posted that they were selling the combo at a $30 loss just to get Zenminers out to the public. So, no, profit margins were not as high as you thought.

Actually we lost 30-40 on every one we gave out....

I just got the unexpected Zen Controller / Raspberry Pi gift from GAWminers. Thank you so much! I've never received a outright gift like that from a company before.

And I got tracking for my Week 1 Fury - maybe slightly behind schedule but the free upgrade to DHL courier more than makes up for that. It will get here days sooner than regular post.

Thanks for everything GawMiners!

Better to have 100 friends than 100 rubles

you maybe right, but the way i see is the zen controller is selling for $69, this was original included in the $149 fury
so now if i was to buy it im $69 less off, why not reduce the miner and give me the option to purchase the controller later.

if i was to get the same package it will be $149 + $69 = $218
so with out reducing the price of the fury, you are in fact increasing the price?

That was a promo. We purchased a bunch from ZenMiner and gave them out as a promotion. That promotion is now over

I pretty much thought of it as a "gift" - no way did I expect a $60-$70 PI setup to come free with my $169 miner... I simply expected a link to git where I could download software to run on the USB hosting device of my choice.

There's nothing wrong with giving a bonus to the persons who took the risk in preordering a publicly untested products. And those who preordered were not even aware of the zenController before a few days ago.

P.S. My receptionist just brought me coffee, but she prefers that I call her "my wife" instead. Wink

Tbh, "the boss" would be more accurate. Grin

I'll never forget one sign I saw in a mid-western restaurant: "Men on the Left, because Women are always Right!"

Also, I have yet to see an answer about whether you will get a second zencontroller on an additional order. My brother wants me to purchase a fury for him but I just want to make sure I will get another controller.

Yes, you will get another controller. Here it is, straight from GAWminers.com.

I just spreaded the news at two forums and now the Fury has not the kit anymore... =/

As I placed my order while the product was announced with the kit, I hope you guys send my what was advertised at the website and not propose a refund.

Wonder why they used cgminer 3.1.1 instead of 3.7.2?

was just about to place a order for the fury miner but realized you no longer supply the miner with the zenminer controller, shouldnt you be reduce the price of the miner? if not that mean Im force to pay more? a unofficial price increase?
my understanding is without the controller i cant mine?

Wrong, you can mine with a patched cgminer. Just like with Gridseeds.

Linked is the source, some config examples, and binaries for Windows and Raspberry Pi.

https://gawminers.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202184744-cgminer-source-and-config

Out of curiosity, the latest committed change I can see by looking through the zip (since we can't get this on github) is on 5/22. I'm studying through the icarus and cgminer files right now just to peek at what might have changed in those, otherwise I'm curious if this is six days old why it is only being provided now?

I'm sure it had to undergo done QC and testing. If they released a non working version people like you would be pissed!

Seriously, what happened to give me my software and I'll go way? This is a true troller.

The true definition

How many PCI-e Connections are required to run each miner for those of us having them delivered?
