The last post in this thread was almost two years ago. Since then, ASICMiner has gone quite belly-up and pretty much stopped doing business entirely about eight months ago.

So it's pretty unlikely anyone will be distributing their products anywhere.

Are you planning to have any distribution in Australia or New Zealand? 

Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Here you go.  Official set up thread.  Not sure how much info is on there about pi though.

Aren't Cubes like blades? you need to run a stratum proxy on the pi and the Cube is a computer in it's own right. it needs the IP of the Pi. Plug both the pi and the cube into the router.  There is a guide thread for how to do the setup around here somewhere.

 Both the Cube and the Pi need to be on the same router with their own individual IP addresses.

I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi (guy configured it to work with Slush's Pool with my worker info), a Cube, PSU, etc. Is there a guide that shows how to connect the ethernet cables? Do I go from the Pi to the router, or Cube to the Pi? Both the Pi and Cube to the router? Thanks for any help.

Want to buy USB erupters from India,but Pinwheel don't have stocks 

That's fine, I'm in no rush, just want to complete mine and my son's rigs to an even 5GH/s each on the BE's and all I need is 5 to complete it. 

I was hoping to buy a couple Cubes as well, but I'm leery seeing all the issues they are having, I may just stick with the Blades for a bit.  The other USB devices are just way too outrageous for my blood, I can't believe people are paying $160/GH for those things (shutter).

Speaking about the cubes. I would not want to be a reseller for them. Your going to loose your shirt on the warranty issues.
This is not really a product for noobs with its current issue's so should not be on ebay or amazon.

They are arriving with loose screws, bowed boards and enough not running that is appears to be a significant DOA or Partial DOA issue.

I myself just got one, While there were no loose screws, I took it apart and every heat sink had screws that were so loose to be almost dropping out. The boards were out of their slots and the main board bowed.

After tightening the screws, reseating boards and realigning them in their slots (peeling off the fan sticker that everyone says flys off in the first few mins). I powered up. Can only get "lo". Switching to "high" actually drops the hashing rate and boards begin to get "x"s on them until every chip is an "x" and the system becomes very sluggish. Only solution is power off, wait a few mins, then back on. Power is not issue as running new 12v rail only CX500 with 2 PCI-E cables for 1 cube.

Running at "Lo' for over 12 hours now and hash stays around 30mhs using bfgminer. (tried stratum mining.py and it was slower on two different OS X machines).

I think I would rather have three or four blades than 1 cube. More reliable and if something goes wrong, only 1 blade goes out.



ASICMINER - thread lock on the heat sink screws would keep them tight and a rubber bumper under the middle of the main board would keep them in their slots.

Hopefully there is a gen2 or gen3 chip about to roll out for them.

I need to test them - the box 2 with FedEx for a couple months and I'd rather trashed (and missing like 18 sticks...) but once I do I'll be let you know.

I'd pay $60 for 5 of them or 0.085 BTC plus shipping.  I'll buy 10 if I have to, but really only want 5.

Your best bet is ebay. Put em up for $35 each plus shipping charge and they will be gone in less than a day.

I have just gotten back a package from FedEx - I have 60 of the old asicminer USB sticks. I'm open to selling them, in bulk though. Anyone interested in ten or more?

Price up for negotiation.

but no other cheaper options?

eBay. They don't make them anymore. Hash rate is too slow.
Shameless plug:

where I can buy the usb asicminer?

And how much would you pay for a blade now?
