Right, I think we have to call the bet a no contest (draw). Depending on temperature conditions, I can make the unit do whatever outcome you want.

I can put it in 25C ambient and it will do 1.30TH @ 1250W at the wall.
I can put it in 37C ambient and it will do 1.23TH @ 1370W at the wall.
I can then put fans in turbo mode at any time and give it another 30W penalty.

tldr, it can achieve <1W/Gh, but it can also be made to go way above 1W/GH within its operating range. I don't think we're going to be able to conclude fairly on this one.

I'm fine with a draw or a win (tzortz can decide). Even though it is technically capable of below 1w/gh, it's only by a hair and doesn't really prove my point that these chips are capable of more. Although v2 may turn out to be more impressive at 0.8w/gh, I'm not going to wait X weeks to find out.

Shall we call it a tie and both donate 0.05 each to SO?

So, still nothing...

So do you get to collect on your best if Dogie tests the sample unit, and it's over 1w per GH/s on the Kill a watt reading?

Been awhile since I've heard anything, whether yours and Jimmothy wager on Xbtec power efficiency was resolved.

I'll let you know after a few more hours of running, but the bet may be too close to call.

no he is waiting as he said i am sure he will inform us when he gets the product up and running. Can't be that much longer, well i hope not lol

Might be a few days, I think they're redoing the online interface or it wasn't what they wanted. The actual miner is good to go through, its just the Pi image.

So the miner is working, isn't it? The problem is only in web interface? Is it possible to configure it via SSH?

If there is "farm software" aka without a gui, why don´t you just start it via commandline arguments?

It appears to be even more basic than that, its not even appearing as a DCHP device even though its DCHP (somehow). Its basic firmware, literally mine to x address, I can't get access to it if its not appearing to my network.
Isn't it true your network won't see it if the default ip of the miner isn't within your routers ip range?  ie... 192.168.1.1 compared to 192.168.2.1
Just my late night thoughts.  Anxious to see it in action.

May be "farm software" means that mining software is running on some external controller module, and device delivered to Dogie is working just like external set of mining boards for that controller? Sorry for my English...  Undecided

Dogie is supposed to have his sample miner by yesterday, but not any update from him.

Let us wait for a while and see.

Dogie probably got demo unit, I would wait for some paid customers to report delivery.

Testing it now, I'll probably be done Wednesday EU afternoon.
please let us know what model you got and how is it working, heat level, noise level, power used, ease of set up all the good stuff. thanks in advance for the information and as i am writing this it is already 8-6-2014 ... 11:24PM

Apologies, having some issues with the Pi (not the actual miner). Just waiting on the morning for them to email me an instruction. IRL things took longer than expected so I only emailed them about midnight. Teaser:

So the above was what I thought - the software was the 'farm' software without a user interface. I'll have to wait until they can get the consumer interface over to me.

Yes but why wait.  New tech will always be released just after you bought your shiny new rig.

Because if you want to buy - you need money, but if you want just to talk - you need nothing Smiley It is very cheap  Grin
lol talk is cheap that was funny

There is a reason why there are nearly no big BE200 miners, and that reason is that the chip isn´t up-to-date.

Once Bitmaine releases their 0.55-0.65W/GH S4, nobody will buy miners withe BE200 anymore, unless they are heavily discounted (at which point the manufacturing of them doesn´t really turn too much profit).

It doesn´t make sense to pre-order a 0.8W/GH miner now, if you can just buy a S3 pretty much from stock....

That's the Pacific 1250 or V2?  I want more info on the Pacific 2000 if they have it.  Good luck on your review.

1250
