I need to fess up.....I have (sorta) fell off the BFL not buy wagon..sniffle ....and asic 1 night stand so to speak
Got a 60gh BFL unit for 39 bucks included the 15 or so bucks to ship such....off that 'dark web for shoppers called ebay'
.....it was a spur of the moment thing honest...won't happen again
Its intended purpose is 1) paperweight 2) ego limiting device to keep me in line and off that pre-order asic crack as I have to walk by it on the shelf....
anyway starting ASIC anonymous recovery again..yes friends...I drank the BFL kool aid and am a recovering newbie asic pre-order addict.... I start again at DAY 1....
I thank you for your understanding in this manner. Then again I have gotten my BFL 60gh unit (2yrs later) and BFL corp is dead (2yrs later)....so......
Karma sucks! (right Josh....I can feel your eyeballs on this thread yet........)
I feel dirty.....

Since we're confessing I bought a BFL monarch used for $70 just for the history of it. I always wanted an ASIC for curiosities sake. What better one to buy than the first commercial manufacturers product. I figured it was toast considering the price and the company I bought it from is called wesale4you. lol Sure enough, it arrived with two blown capacitors and a fried transistor right at the tail end of it. A friend replaced them for me and its madly hashing away at about 660 GH/s right now. I really hate to admit it but the design is pretty sexy. I love the water cooling feature. It gets crazy hot. You can fry an egg on it within 10 min of power up. That's probably why it blew out to begin with.
Been waiting for the monarchs to be below the 50 bucks range NOT WORKING .....but the heatsink and pump etc NOT leaking
I suspect (and others) that you COULD take these and put them on the knc titan 350mh miners (1 cube at least) these are scrypt miners
at that point in time if I ever wanted to try this....knc also has neptune 3TH units with similar cubes and chip size...I can get them now for 50 bucks working (1/2 speed anyway) on
ebay
so the goal would be to swap them out on the neppie cube...see if it works as a proof of concept then do so on the titan cubes
would be cool..the sad part is I bet there are BOXES of these ..held by FTC or whatever.....too bad no access to such ..lots of knc titan owners have units more then 1 year
old running 24/7 so many are losing some hash and are gonna delve into re-paste of the cube....add some heatsinks to some components and bigger fan per cube..hell as long as I"m doing that I"m thinking ......
alas....even BFL parts folks could use for other projects are lost in the black hole that was/is/and always will be the 'evil' that is BFL
oh well damn NO I mean NO ....big ass non commercial water cooler adaptable for KNC chips ...besides maybe these monarch water cool units....damn it ...see even its evil bfl parts...are taunting me.... bfl is still an evil temptress
