Oh, that's great, it's work like i want !

Sad but true !!!! . lmao they will find out later down the road that disregurading the home user is bad most big company do sooner or later . unless there intention from the start was like KNC, i still feel they planed things how they went from the start,they just needed capitol to get going then it was ksdn;lk the rest and KNc even wanted to control  the bitcoin network and tried to at one point . all most lost it all tiring, so , it seems no one company can or will be able to, ever.

I hate greed and what it does to everyone that much, if we shared more we would get more and get along better.


I'm getting off topic don't get me going on that subject. I'm stopping. sorry !!!.


but yea Bitmain can if Avalon does and sell kits if we want them and make more + save, and the kits are plug and play or give us the kits with the miner sense they come with the miner now installed or let us use our own images and not there standard openwrt UI's or let us update openwrt to hold thu a reboot like we can with S3 and S1 .  

They prove they can now by selling there own Custom PSU , I'll bet them doing that in S2 sourcing out for PSU's  was a costly mistake and nitemare by the way they expressed " it won't happen again " and they are just being hard headed about the controller thing at this point, like you said and won't admit it .( tiring to avoid the word greed ).
 
I guess , I like having the freedom to pick etc.
I'm sure Bitmain run some numbers to see a so called cost but numbers are just that numbers and most of the time are wrong or only fit one group of users.

I like the plug and play thing with the Antminers but maybe having also having a uart port on the blades would not be much of a difference for Bitmain to implement. However that would kind of, reduce our dependence level on them and they might not like that since they are pretty greedy/pragmatic in their business plan.

I wish they would drop the BB and make is so we can use our own controllers or keep the BB and give us that support that want it or way to do it, that's not hard and is as simple as what you want:). , i have at least ten pi types , and don't use may be 6 of those and won't sell them either and buy more, as i go .

i love those little PC's they are so amazing and awesome to learn on .

they would save as well and give us something to use our PI's on, we don't use now,

they did that to save on shipping cost mostly and other reason. !!! but yea i still feel the S3 way was the best way yet even my C1 stays very cool not because it's water cooled it just does and very very quite.


but they kind of got out of the home mining market not that there isn't money to made there , there is, but they did , starting with the S5 + .I guess just not enough money for them,the home miner/user, is what got them were they are now.  please don''t go there and say it was so they don't deal with newbie or end users my thought on that one: then why do they give out RMA for hash boards that don't work and fix them for s3's and up with a set price range on there site now as part of support, and are adding more support over time it seems geared to the newbie or end user what ever name you want to call that group of users.

such a nice cooling design
wish they still use it atm

There's a project for running blades of a RasPi so the answer is not quite no. You can look through it yourself but its not something that can be done natively;

  OK.

No

  Hello,

I don't want use the on-board card with CGminer Autonomous Ethernet Connection.

Can i use the mining card on the regular S1 to S7 Antminer product but plugged in USB ? (supply like usual from the 12v PCI-Ex plug).

My final goal is to build a heated carpet for my feet (100GH/s is enough for me, because i want to use my regular 10A 12v Brick supply) ... and replace my unstable U3 fixed at the bottom of my screen.

Thanks
