oh for sure, i was not suggesting that you do that. I am just curious where over 10k went and it was a thought that maybe some cable company or installer might have bought them all to do such a thing, by no means do I recommend doing the same nor would I condone it.

That sounds uncomfortably like theft and my ethics don't allow for deceptions, profitable or otherwise.

maybe a btc wifi router like the bitmain r3 was for ltc?

one day there was like 10k of the r3 in stock, I went to buy 10 and they were all sold out. makes me think a cable company bought them... imagine, they take it out of the antminer case, put it in a standard linksys case, pre-configure them and then provide to their customers...

1. charge them 9.95 for the wireless router
2. they mine ltc for the installer

yeah a simple flashlight 🔦 well made with:

1) low power long life
2) high power shorter life

One high power in the 🚘 car.

One low power on my night table for those times I need to move in the night to the little boys room.

decide where to do a self moderated thread and put the link here, I'm gonna follow. You don't have to limit it to just the flashlight if you have other projects your willing to share about. I think more than a couple of us love seeing cool shit developed period.

Could you post a link to it on the first page of this thread so we dont have to filter through the faeces?

I really only hit up here and Speculation. Don't care about much beyond hardware. Might be worth starting a self-moderated topic (if that option is available) and transferring the talk over there, because y'all have some good ideas.

Oh dear Lord, there is even a "Flat Earth" -topic in the off topic area  

Only place in the Forum I can think of would be the Other > Off-Topic section.

Only problem with that is, the area is quite a cesspool of topics...

Right now I'm just interested in pocket-size, but if it proves robust and I can find a decent source for housings (I have only basic machining infrastructure, enough to mill and tap heatsinks and cut sheet aluminum for the hubs and miners) pretty much anything can be made. Matching a 10 million candle light with LEDs will probably be cost-prohibitive however.

The flashlight I'm working on now, I had already bought one I about 80% liked years ago and I recently discovered I can still buy the same housing in bulk so that's the starting point. The housing was fine but the electronics were not that great. The light I found that was basically perfect went out of production about six years ago so a similar housing might have to be a custom job.

Phil, 25lm is definitely doable. The hardware is built for way overkill but the actual brightness level is set in software so a quick change to the program (which I could do here in like five minutes, or anyone with a PICKit and some wire could do at home) can set it anywhere you want. The test setup I have now is a lower-current approximation of the final product, and the intensity starts to ripple a bit around I think 40lm (a consequence of being optimized for 200-600lm) but that's still pretty low.

I will, just because I know some people will want it, end up programming a multi-mode version, but I'll set the button delay to something like half a second with no persistent memory so it should be really hard to "accidentally" cycle into a different mode. If a two-mode was set up for low first, then high, Phil, one light could do both your needs.

USB charging would not be a built-in function. You'd have to pull the battery and put it in a separate charger. But I'll definitely look into building a USB-powered charger. It's gotta be incredibly foolproof though, since as Samsung demonstrated not long ago, lithium batteries can be pretty dangerous when mistreated.



So, we're noticeably off topic. Where's a better place to move that line of discussion so we don't glut up the Terminus support thread with non-Terminus non-support chatter?

why not the 18 mil model

12 x I think.

can you make one as big as my ThorX 10 mil candle flash light? 

A nice option for a flashlight 🔦 is true low power long lasting lower light 💡

I would love a 25lm  that can be turned on for a longer time.

and a 300lm that does not work as long.

just a simple on off button for each one.

and yeah a usb charge option.

built like a brick shit house 🏡 works.

I wouldn't sell you something that easy to break. Goes against my principles.

Superb. Just playing with setup and didn't want to cock anything up as soon as I've got it.

Yep, sure can.

Just received my R606 from eyeboot (great service) and was just wondering if i can change the voltage while its running/hashing? I haven't read this question anywhere yet and I've scoured the thread and tried searching but not found the answer.

It is not USB rechargeable, but I bet I could build a USB-powered recharger for the swappable batteryies without a lot of trouble since the cell voltage peaks at 4.2 volts. The same type system I use for dynamic current regulation inside the flashlight could be easily ported over to a CC/CV lithium charger.

I know we're way off topic but that there is a good idea.

I need a good light that is light touch to turn on. minimum 300lm. I want to use zip ties to mount it to my BB and pellet guns for night shots at my house. Streamlights have nice output but are hard to turn on and off, but USB rechargeable. This new light would go great with the hot hub of yours if its USB rechargeable.

Finally someone is making a proper flashlight!! Why oh why do they insist on having all the flashing modes that you HAVE to cycle through to turn it off
