Could you please take this discussion between you two through PM ?

I dont see the reason to fill almost 2 pages with a no end discussion and how that could be interesting for someone that enters the thread looking for news/updates about HF



if you look closely, this started with me posting a very useful and helpful post about how i was approaching my own configuration process in multiples of 3 and how multiple Sierra's can be driven by one Raspi so you guys can benefit from my insider knowledge.

then crumbs comes in and attacks me just like everyone else.  what am i supposed to do?

The ignore button works very well for crumbs, regardless of what thread he is currently trolling in....

You don't need a 1U control unit. 

Each Sierra is self contained (cooling, power, 3x ASIC modules, case, and a controller/host).  The only advantage of the 1U control unit is that it would allow a single host to control up to 10 Sierras (30 hashing modules).  Also HF has indicated that the modules are connected to the "host" by USB.  This means anything which can run cgminer can be a host.  You can use the included rPi host in the Sierra and/or BabyJet or you could connect multiple hashing modules to a dedicated computer for a custom solution.  Although HF hasn't provided the specs my guess is the 1U "control unit" is just an entry level 1U server running some form of linux and cgminer.  Instead of configuring a farm through the 10 Sierra rPi hosts all 30 modules are connected by USB to the single server for ease of management.

Still if you want to go w/ a BabyJet instead, HF has indicated they intend to sell just modules in the future although no date or price has been provided.  A single sierra is likely a better deal though. as to upgrade a Babyjet to handle a second module will require a larger power supply and a second cooling loop (or larger radiator).  The sierra comes out of the box ready from day 1 for 1.2 TH/s.

I thought so too but it turns out that the BabyJet is self contained, it has the Rapberry Pi, but the Sierra does not:

Quote
We don't want to risk overloading the limited resources of a Raspberry Pi by running more than two mini-boards (formerly 'modules') off one of them.

So we recommend something more powerful for one or more Sierras.

so you will have to provide some kind of system running cgminer with USB to hook up the Sierra to.

The Sierra is not self contained

Additionally, directly from their website under Product Description:

Quote
System Specifications

Contains 3 HashFast Golden Nonce (GN) ASICs
Performance: 1,200 Ghash/s at nominal clock speed
Chassis: 2U rack mounted
Cooling System: High performance liquid cooling on each of 3 chips, dissipates heat via back mounted radiator
Requires a 1U control unit

I stand corrected.

Claiming "I want to handle everything in increments of 3 [or some such]" is inconsistent with trying to sell more than one, and suddenly willing to make space for a whole server room (original 9 + the truckload of miner protection gear)  You don't have room for a bit moar? Smiley

the problem with your brain is that it's static.  like mud.

you fail to consider that ppl can change or figure out solutions to a problems as they go along.  i decided to go with being Order #1, maximize the mining while the going is good and deal with the truckload later.  you're right in that i'll probably have to find a solution to that later.  but it's a good problem to have.

how about that bet, Mr. Never Mined a BTC in My Life?

Lordy, you've talked about my yeller button, you offered to prove that you have 9 pre-orders, you accused me of not being a miner.
You've talked about so many ugly things.  The only thing you didn't address is the lie you've been caught in.  
Though i like where you're going with this.  Level up, practice makes perfect Smiley

still confused.  what lie are you talking about?

Can i get you to commit to a single story?  Why did you go through all the mutually-contradictory rationalizations before ending up with "people can change their minds"?  Tell me one last time why you wanted to unload a bunch of pre-orders from a company you were shilling for representing at the time?
?

how many times do i need to say it?  b/c of space and electrical capacity considerations.

when i first ordered BJ's, 4 TH/s was supposed to come in 4 machines.  b/c they changed their plans, it went to 10 machines.  then, thru their own generosity, the MPP is going to take it to 50 machines.  i have a small room for these.  50 machines seemed untenable and b/c i ordered first, i could sell my pre-orders for an immediate profit; still can.  but the intent was never to sell them, it was to mine.  the repackaging of these into Sierra's solves the entire issue for now.  period.

still want to bet 1000 BTC?

Why would i want to bet 1000 BTC that you don't have pre-orders?  Of course you do.  Hashfast can't have their paid shill unloading all of his pre-orders -- how good would *that* look. hmm? Cheesy
But i'll let you get back to telling your stories & trolling KNC threads.

just so you guys understand conceptually how to do this.

i have 9 BJ's on order.  sold 1 off to a friend.  why?  i wanted to deal with multiples of 3.
...

Err, you've tried to sell more than one.  Try again.

you're telling me what i've done?  Roll Eyes

i shut that thread down after 1 lousy day once i figured out how to structure this thing.

I'm telling you that you should either get better at lying, or stop doing it altogether.  The way you're going now ain't working 4 U.


first of all, you're the one with the yellow orange button.

do you want me to prove that i still have 9 on order from a company rep just to embarrass you further?

No,  i do not. You were pwnt trying to sell the rigs pre-orders, you closed the thread.  Your original justification for offloading was different from the post-factum crap you cooked up now.  Try again? Smiley


"space considerations" is consistent with then and now.

repackaging BJ's into Sierra's has solved this problem as i've explained.  period.

and if you'd like to bet me 1000 BTC that i do not have those 9 BJ's still on order, i'm sure we can arrange an escrow provider.

Edit:  And why not be a nice guy and wait 'till the gear's in hand?  You'll get more monyz (but you're gambling on it still being profitable by the time u get it Smiley )

My biggest concern with HashFast is that they still have only shown 3d renders.  If Batch 1 is set to ship Oct 20-30, where are the pictures of boards, chips, and cases?

and as ckolivas has already stated, he will be integrating in the HF drivers into his working version of cgminer.  just load this up into whatever controller device you are considering using.
