Should work with both. The Rocketbox was 8 blades, the new Rbox is a single blade as Dogie said. I'm still trying to further tweak the driver, but it's at the diminishing returns stage. A blade seems to drop out very easily though, and it usually re-hotplugs but not always.

Equivalent as in the same chipset, firmware, etc

But if the mucking around with the RKbox that ckolivas did was enough for the software to work nicely with the "New Rbox" that guy deserves a beer or 20

Depends on what you mean by equivalent? But yes these two particular devices use the same version of software/drivers.

Hmm, RKBox equivalent to the "New Rbox"? also just git'ed cgminer last night into a ubuntu system, setting that up for the box, gonna see if that works.

I recently had remote access to an RKbox and committed some improvements to the cgminer git master branch. It appears to be performing better and more stable now, along with less rejects/dupes, much less HW errors and a little less CPU usage. Note the displayed hashrate appears lower but that's because the dodgy driver counts rejects in its hashrate which there are quite a few in the form of duplicates, but the updated driver hashrate is higher as confirmed at the pool end. I also found the sweet spot to be a frequency of 330.

Sweet spot of 330? Very nice work. Thank you!

It May be the version of software or something as simple as a bad USB cable, I've been through that as well.

Any updates??

Anyone know how many "blades" can run on Rockminers Rockminerweb?
I've got a new style R-Box running alongside my RK-Box via Rockminerweb v0.9.3 and was wondering if I could just keep adding more R-Box miners??

Would it really be profitable to use the rockminer's T1? Consuming 1000 watts per unit, and add on that you need your own PSU, lets say with about $0.095 per kwh, It would consume $0.095 per hour, right? And makes about $0.21 (current market value) USD if turned from BTC.... I can make a $0.115 profit from using the miner. to find out days, let's multiply these factors by 24 (to find out 24 hours in a day)
$0.21*24 = $5.04 produced
$0.095*24 = $2.28 cost for power
and the total profit (produced - cost for power)
$0.115*24 = $2.765
Now the price of a rocketminer (going to use zoomhash for this if you would like to check) is about $350, plus a power supply unit, (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182188) would be $130, plus or minus $15 depending on the unit. So,
350 + 130 = $480.
To figure out how many hours you'd have to mine let's divide the hourly profit from the total price of hardware.
$480 / $0.115 = 4173.91304 hours.
So, 4173.913 hours to make an ROI at current market price. to find days,
4173.913/24 = 173.913042 days, or 174 days to make your Return of investment (how much you paid to begin with)

... Is this even viable.. making $2.765 dollars a day per miner...?

Then the question arises.. If it's so profitable to mine, why don't companies that make the ASICS use it themselves?

Anyone willing to answer, share thoughts or comments is truly welcome because I was looking into purchasing 3 Rockminer T1's.. But after the math...

Also - what about heat? How much heat is produced per unit? Even with fans, heat has to go somewhere.. That somewhere being the room the miners are in. So about how much is produced if anyone has had or has one I'd appreciate it.

*NOTE: THIS IS NOT IN ANYWAY 100% ACCURATE, PRICE OF BTC CHANGES CONSTANTLY AND IS SOMETIMES NOT PREDICTABLE.
**NOTE: I used Coinwarz.com to find out this information at an OVERCLOCKED miner which has a hash of 900gh/s MAX.. but the hourly mined would be $0.19, and the profit would be about $0.95 (US AVERAGE FOR SOUTHEAST RESIDENCE) if you had it at the stable clock of 800gh/s.
***NOTE: Price of powering the units may change according to your location.

Truth. They won't even give the documentation to the software writers.
