Hey, I'm about to preorder a 27GH device, but I can't find info on the Power usage anywhere. Will it be about 30W like the BFL products?
Power specs haven't been released yet.

how's the security of a router stand up to that of running cgminer in linux?
All the routers in question here are Linux. And if someone can break into your router, they can bypass it entirely. So the security of the network depends on the security of the router itself.Your point being what? What specifically do you want to interject with your comment? Which router? My comments were specifically toward the hardware that is controlling that is running the miner program.
If you use a piece of hardware (router) to run a miner, it is just as vulnerable as any PC on your network, unless you take steps to harden it. DD-WRT does a good job of hardening their setups.
Your original comment shows your intended objective of mis-information. As per your your statement, It can be generalized in this context, if you use DD-WRT to run cgminer, someone can break into your router.
to be accurate:
IF you use DD-WRT to run cgminer, ON your only router that is connected to the internet, THEN you are exposing the security of your router.
IF you use DD-WRT to run cgminer, ON a secondary router that is connected to a DMZ, THEN you are not exposing the security of your internet router with cgminer AND cgminer is protected by the firewall in the Internet router.
Think of the DD-WRT running cgminer as a server. If you put it on the Internet directly, it better be very secure, or you are going to have a bad day. It's much better to have a firewall/router (performing NAT as well) and one or more of these "micro-servers running on router hardware" behind it.

Tom,
Any word on the new bitstream we are supposed to get for existing mod owner's?
TML sucks hind end in my opinion..!!!

It should be nearly done, I will try and get ahold of Glasswalker and see how the progress is coming.

All the routers in question here are Linux. And if someone can break into your router, they can bypass it entirely. So the security of the network depends on the security of the router itself.but if you're running ufw in linux in addition to the router firewall, wouldn't you get a layering effect of security?

Please don't.
I know who they are, and how they operate.
If you want additional downtime go with them.
Can you please elaborate? I would like more details since I'm relying on them more and more.I know who they are, and how they operate.

I had no issues until now, but it's only a few months.
Thanks for any info

Unless you wish to spread more FUD and instill fear among potential users? Which router? Since DD-WRT is used so wide spread, including several manufacturers of routers, it seems a good bet that it is a good choice.

Just wanted to add a little bit of positive feedback about Tom.
I ordered an FPGA unit, waited a bit, got the USPS tracking number and then watched the USPS page not change for a few weeks.
I called USPS, they said it's probably stuck in customs. I called customs and they said that they don't have anything matching on records.
I mailed Tom and asked if he could open a claim with USPS, he offered to reimburse me. While it did feel weird because neither of us did anything wrong, I accepted the Bitcoin and Tom came through.
Great customer service, fast responses to emails, I'll happily do future business with him.
It's nice to see that somebody is valuing customer happiness.

You are using a compatible Router (in my case I currently use an ASUS RT-16n, I have used a Cisco/Linksys 3000 and 4200v1) - it controls my FPGAs using cgminer, the router uses max 8 watts vs 200watts for a PC
What computer uses 200W at idle? Mine uses 85W, and it's not a small or cheap system. Most laptops will be between 20-30W, and my old netbook used to use 12W.Where did I say idle or laptops?
My point is just that while DD-WRT is totally kickass, the power savings aren't really all that much.
If the computer is off while your not using it, the small savings add up.

Fine, I run it behind my regular firewall. If your paranoid, use ssh keys for access, docs are on any web search.

what's wrong with a rpi ? ~$35 and max of 5 watts
then again I'm not sure how many ASICs it would be able to control but it is fairly powerful for the size/price/wattage

I've ordered 'em 54Mh/s machines from your site. Hope to see them soon.

That article reminded me of the town built in Atlas Shrugged. Same principles
Thinking of it, anyone on the supply side of bitcoin should have to read Atlas Shrugged
Nice article Cable

read it with a critical eye, there are some serious holes in Ayn Rand's philosophy (and apparently her head)
Fun fantasy world, but it does not match reality.
I also recommend "The Probability Broach" by L. Neil Smith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Probability_Broach
(again, it's a nice fantasy world, but the points being made are more subtle than the overt story)
