Topic: Just purchased a ModMiner QUAD... (Read 2217 times)
what an asshat
Well, it has been over a week since Tom said he sent my 2nd replacement card and I still haven't received it or had any luck getting the miner to actually mine. Tom also hasn't responded since Wednesday. 
This is getting frustrating.

Seems like he bought the template and is working on the site.

Yeah, I think battmann mentioned to me elsewhere that the guy is changing servers or something.

Tom, the owner is btcfpga and basic is a scammer. He sold pre-paid hardware that he never delivered and did not refund the payments.
I was under the impression that he was indeed issuing refunds. There's a whole thread where people are talking about having received refunds.

What happened to http://www.btcfpga.com/ ? I'm redirected to some funny IT-store site
I haven't been able to make contact with btcfpga ... so I didn't buy without speaking to someone first ...
tell me what they said about delivery times please.

I just bought a ModMiner QUAD from www.btcfpga.com and was wondering what flavor of linux will be best suited for running this miner?
Any help is appreciated!

Ubuntu would do the job.
It's easy to setup and stable.
If you want a turnkey solution:
I can recommend Minepeon.
I'm running it on a $35 RaspberryPi B using bfgminer which supports the ModMiner.
Regarding the ModMiner QUAD I wonder if I will buy 2 or buy 3x HD 7970 GPU.
The Hash rate is similar (1600 kH/s for ModMiner QUAD against 1800 kH/s for GPUs).
Cost is $2400 for 2 ModMiner QUAD against $1800 for the complete GPU solution (including motherboard, ...)
Energy consumption would be 80W for 2 ModMiner QUAD and 1000W for the GPUs.
But you need a PC to run the ModMiner QUAD?!
What your thoughts?

Do they sell LTC FPGAs already?

I had a lot of luck running mine on Ubuntu 12.04. I did have to compile it for that though. There should be how-to's out there on the MMQ wiki or somewhere on here.
Would you be willing to part with your precompiled piece of equipment? or maybe an x6500?
Is there a point buying these now ? It is hard to break even in any reasonable time frame.
