That website is still working? I could have sworn it wasn't anymore and that no more orders were being taken?

What did that pretty little thing run you?

about 1069 + ship

Aka... not worth it

I'd imagine not. I don't get why they are that expensive. I mean I'm developing my own board at the moment and the costs aren't even close to the selling point. I mean what I'm looking at is probably $400-$450 in parts for my board. Not sure what I'd sell it at, people don't want to buy a $600 board if it doesn't produce.

To me the hashrates of the MMQ are not worth that pricepoint. If you bought 20-50 of them 6 months ago you would have probably made your money back with the recent bubble, but now they're not going to do much.

I ordered mine a week ago too and it was scanned last Friday but shipping (global express) hasn't updated since then :-(

A week ago.. He scanned it two days ago and tracking is updating now. Will be fun to play with and put in my old PC box. It has a lot of room

I'm in the UK so I think it might take up to 3 days. That said the shipping status normally changes when the item is actually in the hands of USPS and it looks like it was booked on but not shipped as yet.

he might need to drop them off.. i think he is just boxing a lot and doing the electronic scaning from home.

When did you place your order?

Placed the order on Friday 12th April, Tom said they would ship on Saturday 13th, I got the email from USPS "Electronic Shipping Info Received" but it's been stuck on that ever since and we paid for the super quick shipping option too.

You paid for the Express mail upgrade? Express mail should get to you the day after it is sent, so if it was truly sent on Saturday, you should have received it on Monday or Tuesday.

Did you get yours up and running ok? I've ordered two as well but Tom seems to have dropped off the face of the planet :-(

Nope, mine arrived broken by USPS, so Tom has sent out 2 replacement cards. I've received one of them, so I'm currently trying to get it all running on the 3 fpga cards while waiting for the other replacement to show up. Tom sshed into my machine last night to try to get it running but I had installed some of the optional dependencies shown on the bfgminer git page and apparently that was wrong, so Tom told me I needed to do a fresh install of Linux and try again.

Which, I assume, means he will try ssh'ing in again soon (hopefully)!

help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with bfgminer.

There's your problem.

What would you suggest? cgminer? I was using bfgminer because I was reading that it was more geared toward working with the btcfpga modminer quad, but if cgminer has some benefit, I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot as well.

Tom offered to ssh into my machine to help me get the two functional cards mining while the two replacements make their way through the postal system. I'll give cgminer a try tonight ... see if I have any more luck with it!

How are your MMQ's working so far? I've been thinking buying one myself but wanted to see some people actually getting theirs and running acceptably.

Still working on getting mine running. Two of the four are being replaced and Tom has offered to ssh into my machine to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with bfgminer.

cgminer + raspberry pi reportedly works well. rpi uses less power than a laptop.

That is exactly what I am doing. My Pi came in today, and I'm not home to play with it, or the MMQ! Lol, I will this coming Monday though... can't wait XD
