Topic: is anyone aware of this ASICMiner BOX (Read 4131 times)
This cube can hardly pay themselves back. Don't buy if you want to make profit. Buy BTC instead.
im might be a big shock.... but have you ever heard of a hobbyist miner? Someone that does it for curiosity? Fun? The learning experience? Most College Educations wont ROI.... I dont see a lack of customers for them.
still won't roi
And will still outsell and get out of stock ;-) That's the way it works in Bitcoin Mining (or mostly for Asicminer)

Actually, sidehack usually uses high end products and cleans up the voltage variations also, probably even extends the life of the product even with the overclock.
how much life are you robbing from the devices by making them go faster than originally designed for? i know it would instantly void the warranty... id rather have a year at 100ghs than a month at 140ghs
Agree, but it's been proven that a even higher frequency crystal can be used to push the chips further while maintaining stability.
these are set up like the version 1 blades, low speed and high speed, each board already has 2 oscillators
More cards & Less chips per card = more crystals required = more expensive to do the mods.
i'll need some solar panels to offset electricity costs after winter... 
I've been researching solar nonstop for the last week and a half, unfortunately renting a house with landlords who won't budge on installation we're up the creek without a paddle. Would imagine some company would be working on a more plug'n'play option for folks in condos, townhomes, etc., who cannot necessarily "install" something but can still benefit from the renewable power supply.

ive been thinking about something like this..... ran into a grid tie converter.... cant afford to go all solar... but might help keep the bill down to a reasonable level,
I wish the gid tie inverters were sold at Home Depot, I'm about to do the same. I can only find them online...
plus still supporting the OLD protocol, clearly no improvement has been made.
OLD protocol = getwork?
yes getwork is the old protocol port 8332
I'm intrigued about the USB interface, if they're coded to work with cgminer like the USB BEs or what needs to be done there.

at least they overclock....
I can get them sourced for £427 so that's 1.7BTC at current

Double the price

Yeah, there are loads of china suppliers selling them, some with power supplies that can provide the correct overclock, but for the price I would wait until much cheaper. Same chips just dressed up in a different box plus still supporting the OLD protocol, clearly no improvement has been made.

Qouting another member from a different thread:
If this is the case then sidehack's usual skills should be able to push one of these to a theoretical limit of 45ghs, with improved power handling also it should not go much more than the 500w.
Question is with dual pcie for power only, how's it going to do that; as someone else stated, pcie only does 75w per lane.
Either way a disappointment from them, I was expecting a new product, not the same thing as before in a shinny new box.
PCIE is only limited to 75 in PC aplications. See the 300w BFL single powered by 2x 6pin. 320-500W wtf... so this is nothing more than the 5ghs blades that were only available in china earlier this year? same chips, same inefficiency, just packaged up to look like a bfl little single.... 
must say im very disappointed in ASICMiner right now...
