- Do i need to have internet connection with unlimited bandwidth ? If you have ten blades running same time for whole month how much total bandwidth is consumed estimate ?

- What if the unit catches fire due to overheating etc ? Will you still replace the units ?

- Can the units work fine in room temperature for months or i need to arrange for ac ?


unlimited - would be better, and I cant say exactly how much traffic it will be for 10 blades. It runs via Stratum proxy and therefor traffic really small.

blade will not overheat it has thermal cut off, if it reach 100C it will switch off.

during hot months you may need AC. IF room temperature 25-27C and your place has good ventilation then no need AC. Like here in Pune, it is two months AC per year.

I need to know few things

How much power (watt) do you need to run one unit ? Standard psu can handle how many units ?

new blades takes 100w and need 10A. If, for example Corsair 650w PSU has 52A on DC rail, you can safely run 4 blades with it.

Quote
What internet connection is preferred to run entire month ?

once during emergency I run 22 blades and 2 BFL Singles for one week or little more on Galaxy note 1 3G wifi tether. Bridget WIFI to LAN and all was running just fine.

As criteria of good internet, you can use ping time from your computer to pool server. Airtel and most private ISP will give better ping for sure, compared to BSNL. But that does no matter really, traffic is small anything will work just fine.

Warranty - If there are defects / unit failures will you replace the units ?

yes it come with 6 months replacement warranty. It does not cover such things as connecting DC wires without keeping polarity in mind.

Whats the longevity of the unit if you run nonstop for months

Blades made up to industrial standards, it is real hardcore instruments. Longevity may be more related to the way you running it, rather to blades it self. High quality power supply is a must, high quality power back up too. In short less on/off cycles longer you blade will mine.

I can answer some of those questions.

I had / have a few blades myself which are running for the past 4 months non-stop. (i shutdown my pc occasionally to install windows updates).

Each blade consumes close to 120 watt. I have used Corsair CX 600 M PSU to power 3 blades completely at 80% load and they worked like charm.
CX 750 M is also good for 4 blades. If you are buying more, then reachout to Pinwheel, he has his own custom power module that he uses for 10 blades.

ASICMINER is one of the best companies for warranty. One of my blades had a problem. One of the chip was not working properly. Nothing serious. The max it could hash was at 11500 - 12000 GH. So a simple email to them and they sent me a new blade altogether before asking me to ship the faulty one back reducing my downtime to mere 10 minutes.

thanks for for your inputs. yes if everything fixed right it will not take much of effort to run blades.

I have Coolmaster 1200W Gold PSU and run 8 blades on it. I would not recommend to use such kind of PSU, 650W is better. 1200W  triggers UPS quite badly during power failure. Or much more better with new blades to use second hand server blades PSU. If you buy 10 blades it will come with back-plane and it already has connector for server PSU. No need wiring anything, just insert PSU into connector and it done.

do you still have this? I would like to buy 10 blades. Does the price including setup costs? Please advise. Prefer escrew.

At the moment I have 4 blades only. If you want 10, I can deliver 4 first and 6 more with back-plane later. I can provide power adapters and wires 2000 inr per blades. Set up is simple I can guide you by phone. if you in Pune I can help you to fix it in your place for free.
Also you may need power back up, computer with internet connection, network switch of good quality, with 12 ports.

Escrow welcome, buyer pays fee, if any.

Are you willing to host it on your own place with management fees.
In that case we have some inquiries we can forward to you Smiley

Cheers

hosting is not possible, at this time, I'm preparing for more blades to put online very soon, not sure if any power limits will remains.

But, if some one interested I can help, to set it up. I can send my engineer to any place in India and it will be running in 1-2 days.  20-100 blades all possible. 30 blades will be giving around 6 lakhs per month at current exchange rates. New blades coming with back-plane deployment much faster and easy. Any room can be used, provided that there is enough power and good internet connection, better two. Or at least 3G Andriod as back up.
Once I run 320 ghs mining for 3 days on Sumsung GalaxyNote1 WIFI tether. Bridged it to LAN and all worked fine with Airtel SIM.
