In stock and shipping.  Price .10 btc per unit.   PAUSED. Introduce someone to mining!  These miners are super quiet.
06/11/2014: Thanks Luke-Jr for adding bfgminer support!!! https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=626361

This week's promo (6/16-20/2014):  Remember the ASICMiner USB Block Erupters??? I was doing some cleaning and rearranging and found a small stash of them here Smiley.  so, every order or r-box gets the original ASICMiner USB miner for free. while supplies last.  I have various colors, will mix them so that you have a variety if ordering multiple r-boxes.

Payment address: 1GgWprtNnyDYK8kchieCtPkaFSb5ffdLcz Please PM me to place an order.

A bunch running together (hotplugable):

see post #2 regarding OCing.

Each miners comes with a barrel connector and a USB cord.  You can connect the barrel connector to a 12V 5A power source.  HP/Dell server PSUs are excellent for doing this.

You can buy a PSU on amazon for this: http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-adapter-charger-Benq-Monitors/dp/B003Z6ZR5O/
I have a limited number of available PSUs (same as amazon above, at cost), if you want me to include some with your order, just let me know.

I recommend these adapters as well (store is reliable and I can vouch for the proprietor):



Shipping:

You can email me a shipping label (canary.btc@gmail.com) or you can pay me in btc to create one for you.
1 miner fits Region A Priority box. or flat rate PADDED envelope.  please note the emphasis on padded.
2 miners fit into a Medium Priority box.
4 miners fit into a region B box.
6 miners fit into a Large Priority box.

If you want me to handle shipping label, I'll charge btc, using Coinbase conversion.  I highly recommend using your USD and creating a label on usps.com
All you need to do is create a shipping label on www.usps.com and use YOUR address in both, the from and to fields. However, you specify shipping from a different zipcode, namely 60181
that's it!

there's also a branch of cgminer released by RockMiner that works with this hardware:

I found this approach to be most efficient on windows:
1. download current cgminer from: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/ unzip into a separate folder somewhere.
2. next, unzip and move the contents of the cgminer-win0.3.1.zip (from rockminer) into the folder from step 1.  This will move and replace up to 17 files and will overwrite the standard cgminer distribution.  Now you have a cgminer version that will work with r-box.
3. run cgminer and hash.
