as it happened to both cube I would suggest to check your PSU first

I'm fascinated to know how you think the PSU could make the fuse melt?

Not had the top off either cube yet but wondering if there is something that gets very hot, close to the fuse socket, between the fuse and power sockets.  A heat sink perhaps?  It was that side of the fuse plastic that was in worst condition.

Will have 30A and 40A replacement fuses on hand soon so will experiment.  May also have urge to have a look inside.

Either way, if I find anything, I will update here.

PS.   Anyone have a pointer to pics of naked cube?
If not, and I do get my screwdriver out, I will take lots of pics!

Hi,

I have two cubes, overclocked, on an RM850 and they are working well for the most part.
Unfortunately, they have both melted the green plastic fuses overnight.

Before simply replacing the fuses. can anyone help with the following ...
1.   What is the correct rating for the fuses when a cube is overclocked?
2.   Should the green plastic melt?   (rather than the fuse simply pop!)
3.   As I can't find a fuse rated above 30 Amp do I have to stop overclocking?
4.   Am I missing something important?

Regards

WARNING:   EuropeanMiner is a SCAMMER

I know!  I was scammed!  I thought everyone should know all about this.
He sent me the following message compounding fraud with threats!

=========================================================
You are part of ponzi game, you dont receive your usb miners, but dont worry, you wont lose your money !!! You can even earn more then you send me !! I will pay you 10 %/weekly of money you sent (If you sent me 10Btc, you will get 1Btc/weekly forever) ..so after 10 weeks (2.5month) you will get all your money back and start earning 10% weekly. None of usb miner !! or butterfly shit ..gives you such revenue !!

All you have to do is write to my topic that you have received usb miners. If you report this message to admin or if you write this is ponzi, Ill be banned and you dont get your money back, your choice.

 Please keep in mind if you report this scam all other "buyers" who already agreed will lost their money ... and they wont be happy,

Hey... new to the site and Bitcoin's. I am really curious the best and most reputable placed to purchase Bitcoin's from. I'd also like to here from seasoned pro's on the pro's and con's of who they recommend and why if they don't mind.

Thanks in advance for the replies!

In the UK?   Have a look at   https://www.bittylicious.com/

They start cautiously with limits on size and frequency of trades.
The service is very quick!  BTC delivered in minutes after payment.

Hi

Sounds like you're chasing an unattainable dream.

I don't see why people invest so much money in something that might realistically break even in 1 or 2 years. If your goal is to make money, getting a job is the easiest thing to do. Or buying stock. Or keeping your money in a bank and earning interest.

For all you know, the bitcoin experiment could fail and you'd be left with worthless coins.

I wonder if these people view bitcoin as a get rich quick scheme.

Just my two bitcents.

Same argument is valid for so many things in life!

How many billions are 'squandered' on lottery tickets each week world wide.

One thing is certain ...  you have to be in it to win it!

With the new price structure for the ASICMiner USB miners dropping to about 1 BTC each (from 2 BTC) things are looking better.  I think another 50% price drop would peak more interest from the fiscally responsible.

All price reductions make for a better ROI!
Larger asics like BFL / Avalon have shorter ROI but limited availability and more expensive.

Hi,

Noob here so a few thoughts on the current state of Bitcoin and mining.  Been reading a lot about Bitcoin and mining and relearning maths I forgot years ago. 

Trying to work out how anyone will make ROI on USB ASICS.  The 'experts' seem to think ROI at current difficulty will be around nine months.  My calculations are along those lines.  By then, me thinks, there will be a lot more larger ASIC's in the wild and the difficulty will have increased.

So, what is the best way to get into Bitcoin without spending vast amounts of fiat on Bitcoin to buy a larger ASIC.  Now there is a good question.  For certain, I need access to the group buys on this forum.  This is the best way I have found to get into mining and acquire ASICs at a reasonable price.

Of course, this all assumes the 'authorities'  fail in attempts to stop Bitcoin by legal assoults.  I seem to remember a similar assault on LETS (Local Exchange Trading Systems)  a few years ago when it looked as though they might replace a significant volume of trade outside the fiat systems.

Time will tell.  All constructive thoughts and ideas welcome!
