Because I've already paid for a miner/assembly/testing/shipping I expect Steamboat would prefer to go ahead with the order.



If anyone wants to sell 16 chips let me know. Now we have a working unit and we know SB is alive I'm happy to take a miner.

I picked up a bunch of cheap old power supplies and am looking for adapters to use with them.



The place I got them has converters that will convert one four-pin ATX to one six-pin PCI-e and it looks like I will have enough without needing to split one into two.



Any idea how much actual power the boards use? Most of the power supplies are in the 200 to 350 watts range I think, hopefully each of their four-pin ATX connectors can power one board.



This is the first I heard of needing some special kind of USB cable, don't they come with cables? I paid for the whole thing, assembly, testing, no DIY...



All the boards and hubs and so on I got in the past all came with whatever connector cables they needed for data. These don't?

I figure 50 watts per miner as worse case scenario,especially if you OC them above 350-400MHz.Yes one dual 4 pin to 6 pin per board should be fine.200 watt unit I'd only run 3 miners so you don't overload the PSU,always leave headroom power wise.Do not assume 200 watts can do 4 units,its too close to the max of the PSU.Better safe than sorry.



The miners do come with cables (PCIE extention & splitter if more than 2 units ordered,USB cable) as seen in jesse's post pic,if you ordered more than one I believe they will include a 6 pin splitter for every two units I figure 50 watts per miner as worse case scenario,especially if you OC them above 350-400MHz.Yes one dual 4 pin to 6 pin per board should be fine.200 watt unit I'd only run 3 miners so you don't overload the PSU,always leave headroom power wise.Do not assume 200 watts can do 4 units,its too close to the max of the PSU.Better safe than sorry.The miners do come with cables (PCIE extention & splitter if more than 2 units ordered,USB cable) as seen in jesse's post pic,if you ordered more than one I believe they will include a 6 pin splitter for every two units

If the miner uses 50 watts then the current will be about 4.2 amps for each miner. Make sure your load on 12 volts is less that the current rating of the supply your using. One other thing to check is the current rating of the power supply at 12 volts. Some older power supplies were optimized to output current at 5 volts.If the miner uses 50 watts then the current will be about 4.2 amps for each miner. Make sure your load on 12 volts is less that the current rating of the supply your using.

I see reports of miners shipping. Does that mean the USB bootloader code is finished, or did you have the units shipped as-is?

Did my post help you or make you laugh? Let me know with Bitcoins at: 1CQfpMHQ5zVuZ5i9uxSHSSx4J8ZhehSjn3 Easily see your cgminer status with my cgminerLCDStats app: http://cardcomm.github.io/cgminerLCDStats/ Did my post help you or make you laugh?

I'm not sayin to or not to go ahead & get your units,thats up to each person to decide.



But updateing the firmware as it stands now would require a PICkit 3 & the knowledge to use it & the software to use with it to upgrade later.



You could brick the unit your flashing,just so you know.

- Changed the BTC sum from x14 days to 12days. In reality its closer to 10days. ( this make the sheet look better than whats going to happen)

- Increased 4.5GH to 5.0GH due to FW fix



* left the deltas at 'last delta + 5mill' - This is optimistic, I am hopeful the increase will slowdown.



Cliff notes:



- 1 board will hit hardware/power break point (40watt/$100BTC-.15kWh) in ~Jan 2014, making a sum of .348BTC(not including power costs)

- 1 board at (40watt/$200BTC-.15kWh) in April 2014 will make you $.04 a day after power coasts. ( or a total from now until April of 0.42108BTC not including power)



* if you are currently mining you would make 0.0768BTC this round ( this is > 20% of the total potential income from the boards). So IMO start mining ASAP Updated the sheet- Changed the BTC sum from x14 days to 12days. In reality its closer to 10days.
