Topic: New R-Box Upgrade Kit - page 5. (Read 4842 times)
Yeah I've got a couple R-Boxes as desk pieces at work, if the price is good I would definitely purchase 2 boards
I would love to have R-boxes doing 200gh at 70 -80 watts.
I wonder how many are out and about that could be refitted.
There are a lot of s-1's sitting idol and s-3's about to go over power costs.
Still the r-box was nice and quiet.
Just playing Devil's advocate.
I guess it comes down to demand. And chips on hand.

If the decision is between this and the S1 replacement, I'd vote for the S1 replacement. A lot of us have S1s laying around(myself included) that we're looking forward to making usable again.
I sold my R-Boxes. They were very nice except they were poor on power.
I think you need to see how many are needed.
Say you can sell 25 boards for 25 r-boxes. How many chips how much money figure the demand and the need.
Right now you have
1) a working 1 chip stick
2) a planned 2 chip stick-- I think you did get a working one and post I forget
3) an 18 chip board
4) an s-1 /s-3 drop in
5) a stud hub
That is a lot of stuff on your plate.
Also avalon mini would be a direct competitor to the r-box So I would consider waiting for the pricing on it to come out.

On the other hand in many areas the S3 will be unprofitable in the next months.
I think more Bitmain stuff was sold than R-Box...

I dunno, $100 seems a little high, considering S3's can be had around $85
my vote is maybe
my vote is maybe
IMHO the S1 or S3 upgrade would be better.
Maybe make a poll about it?

I would definitely take a look at them to replace my U3s. I was going to look to replace my U3s with your sticks, but this path would make more sense. I would replace my current sticks with a few of yours, replace my U3s with this device, and replace my unused S1 with the board ya'll are working on.
Question: would you need to already have a R-Box to upgrade, or would you be selling a turn-key kit?

So we're working on some miner design. It's sort of an awkward time to do so now with new generation hardware on the horizon. The idea was raised last night to work on a board which could be fit into a New R-Box using more efficient chips, and we've been giving it some thought.
If we wanted to push forward with a short batch of those, the design would be based off our concepts already developed for a bigger better miner. What we could do is use the New[er] R-Box as a testbench for this concept, and then retool the design for new-generation chips once they're available.
So, who thinks this is a good idea and would consider purchasing if it existed?
