Its now the 25th - will I get my shipping notification soon?

I have inquired with them if our shipments have been shipped yet, but this happened to the R-Boxes and I got them before the tracking number Smiley

When I purchased the Rocket Box, the site said that the SD Card is included, now it says "SD card for every two units" Huh
When will you decide what's going to be included and what will not be included?
I also want to know if I am going to need a USB hub and 4 USB cables?
And what about this power supply cable for the Rasberry Pi?
In 4 days you are going to start delivering the product, I suppose you have all the components from your providers,
just tell me what I have purchased!


Settle down, I'm sure they'll tell you as soon as they know...  ANY of those products can be shipped to you overnight from a million different retailers if they don't come with the unit.

So the finished version uses only one USB port as opposed to the 4 USB cable tangle we see per box on the test unit?


The prototype looks like four independent miners each with its own power and controller/usb interface. Is the end product going to be like this?

Yeah seriously, are we going to need a USB hub for each miner?  Shocked

No you will not.

What unit is cheaper?  If S3 buy it...if not snag one of these.  If you can not figure out how to stack something like this...not sure what to tell you  Undecided

That's pretty much it, price.

If the S3 is priced decently, then the answer is clear.  If not, I'll have to take some woodshop classes for these things.   Tongue

or put them in milk crates like the ol GPU mining days, the crates are stackable

Also, this thing is not stackable at all, something it looks like you can do easily with the S3 without shelving.

I don't know, you get a couple of lag bolts in the holes on the bottom and top two sides of the X and you may be able to stack these. Not easily of course, but still stackable.

*without custom work done.  S3 is stackable out of the box already.

For those of you who haven't seen the Rocket Box video yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekgsAmnNChQ&feature=youtu.be

They say it comes with a pi, usb hub and all cables.

Holy shit, spaghetti wires like you talk about!   Huh

Something about a loose Pi and USB hub and USB cables all over the dam place just sounds messy.  And that doesn't even factor in the power connection to the PSU yet.

So far S3 has the edge over the RK-box in simplicity.  No pi's, hubs, put wire through this hole, then plug here nonsense.




Nothing matters besides ROI...who cares what it looks like.

Actually, looks does matter.  If a x wire snags on y wire on your home shelf, then you try to pull on one and it snags and the whole thing falls off...spaghetti wires does matter.

Hey  in 10 days both will be out we can compare them figure out which one is better.  For now I am making a pile of coins looking to spend them on one of each or maybe just one not the other.

This looks to me to be the first close competition of gear in a while. 

 1 btc

1/2 th hash

 1/2 kwatt

size is close .   just need to wait a little  longer now.

this may be good for miners to have some choice.   

BTW  these may kill of all 1th tank size miners if they work well and are priced correctly.

this size the right to a sp30 type of miner.

Thanks for linking! I hadn't seen that yet. Looks really interesting, and I really like how fast the web interface is. I don't know if its just me, but I find the interface for the S1 to be a little on the slow side.

Not sure about that reject rate though, looks a little high Undecided

I did buy a R-box, it just went out for shipping Cheesy.  The tracking number doesn't show up on DHL though, it looks like a rockminer number ne ways.  Any ideas on how long it takes to ship/tracking?

Are you blind... Huh

...says on the title of every message..."...shipping date 25th (June 2014)... Grin

.. That's the Rk-box..

My bad...Apology... Grin

Cheers,

The S3.. what is this talk?!

Don't tell me you've been hiding under a rock all this time.   Tongue

Antminer S3 just blew up Rockminer/Rock Xie/Friedcat's spot.  Consider it blown.   Cheesy

Please do explain how you can make that ignorant statement without even knowing the price of the S3...  Go troll elsewhere if you're not interested in the product being discussed here.

We'll see the price soon enough.  Don't be so defensive, Rockminer are big boys, they can handle it.

No ignorance, not trolling, this will affect RK-BOX sales.  If Bitmain price it to high, miners will come here.  Low, vice versa.


not complex  the rk-box at 600 usd  the s-3 at 800 I pick the rk-box.

but the rk-box at 600 usd and the s-3 at 650 I pick the s-3 .

I am keenly interested in both of these.  It is all about price  difference.    My other  two caveats are they work as advertised and the rk-box is not super loud.
