I have 3 x Zeus blizzard and 1 x GAWminers Fury on raspbian with cgminer 4.3.5 the 3 * Zeus units mine ok but the Fury never has any W/U even though it says it's doing 1.4MH/s
Is it possible to flash the Fury to make it into a Zeus blizzard so they are all the same?

WTF, just seem my old coinex is gone!
I lost 120.000 Dogecoins
Coinex has been broken since April, it's August now, where have you been under a rock?I lost 120.000 Dogecoins
Problem I keep having with Mintpal is:
Total must be equal to or greater than 0.00010000
This is the same nonsense Cryptsy use to do until so many people complained.
When you mine on an auto profit switch pool, it often pays out small parcels of a lot of different coins, and they are just locked up at Mintpal until you can break this threshold.
Is there any way around it? (Apart from using Cryptsy instead)

the 12cm fan is not fixed!
i put the fury on the side and the fan at 2-3cm of the back.

How many watts is the 12cm fan? Surely it can't be worth the effort, as the case doesn't even have fins on that side.
Speaking of running off solar array, anyone know how much energy is needed to power off 5 fury ?
250watts plus the Raspberry Pi and hub. Has anyone figured out how to get the power consumption down on these things? Apparently the voltage regulator for the core is meant to be adjustable.
I want to get the efficiency comparable to Gridseed.

i get them on cg too xD
Version 4.3.5? If so try linux with direct I/O instead of Windows. A raspberry Pi is all you need for that.No matter what clock i set i get THESE same stats and usually ALOT of HW errors on one of them
I had terrible problems with bfgminer and HW errors, changed to cgminer and they all went away.
All off topic. This thread is about energy consumption of the Bitcoin Network. You should go start your own thread discussing how you think energy should or should not be produced.
Thanks.
No worries, we can just let this thread die then.Thanks.
ManeBjorn asked and I felt that in all fairness to my fellow miner to answer him. Yes both of our posts are off topic, but none the less telling the truth when someone asks for it shouldn't be treated as a rant.
If it walks like a duck....
My personal experience with Zeus Miner has been overall deplorable. I bought some Blizzards from them, but they changed the power consumption specification by 3X and just shipped hardware before anyone could say anything. Its clear they knew well in advance that their promised 15 watts was wrong and instead its 48watts. Rather than telling us Batch 1 customers of this huge change they said "things aren't ideal with these but we can ship them as is, or delay and improve the specs". They never gave specifics on what changed just were vague about it. So they started shipping these before anyone could read between the lines. Once they arrived we all learned the sad truth.
Next, Terry kept promising to make things right for Batch 1 customers. He did make decent amends for the larger clients who bought the bigger rigs, but Blizzard purchasers got screwed. We got these lousy coupon codes to buy more overpriced hardware from him. So if your ROI was non-existnt before it certainly wasn't going to improve by buying more hardware. To make matters worse, he jacked up the shipping prices! For example, I bought 5 Blizzards and paid $50 shipping. To use the coupons and buy two more Blizzards I'd pay $50 in shippping EACH even though they shipped in the same fricken box!
Next, Terry kept promising that their ZeusHost and ZeusHash services would be up and running by now. It was only recently that they finally got their act together and fixed ZeusHost. However, those of us waiting on ZeusHash are again screwed by their delays.
Next, GAW was undercutting Zeus prices and offering better compensation to everyone who got screwed in Batch 1...so Terry had a talk with them and what do you know??? Their prices were increased to match Zeus's.
Next, delays in shipping overall. Many folks who are ordering hardware from them have groaned about the delays in shipping. Also many folks are complaining that because of the duty/import costs of how these are labeled some folks are paying more for importing into their country vs. others.
Finally, Terry's been pushing to sell more of his overpriced hardware and less interested in talking to all of us disgruntled customers. Every step of the way he's been pushing tactics (e.g. coupons vs cash refunds) to ensure the money stays in his pocket now that he has it.
All I know is I've learned my lesson and I'll never do business with Terry or ZeusMiner ever again. They only care about turning a buck, and making it look like they give a shit so unsuspecting folks buy their shit hadware.
Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382
Remember when KnC advertised Q1/Q2 for Netpunes? I'll happily take this 10-day window over that.
Take a look at BFL. Day 1 Monarch orders were 47 weeks ago!

Hey Graet,
are the low balance payouts working? I have had a 0.0156 balance for over a year and it wont auto payout even though I set the threshold to 0.01BTC. It says my payout address is locked, but it's set to the correct address anyway.

anyone know why they stopped sales 
They did that often with the S1 to let production and shipping catch up.
Hi, which git or repository do you have used to compile this CGMINER 4.3.5 with Zeus support?
Thanks W_M

What about a link to the latest compiled Windows CGMiner download...?
Thanks,

Thanks, that's working much better I am getting around 1.4Mh/s with each of the 4 miners, and the hardware error rate has dropped right off, <1% so I can run the 328 clock again. Here I was thinking that the Pi wasn't powerful enough for USB 4 miners at once, but it obvious now that it is.
Not sure what the problem was with bfgminer, I tried 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 and both were terrible with multiple miners on the Raspberry Pi, fine on just a single miner. I will stick with this cgminer 4.3.5 fork for the time being, best performance I have had so far.
I am trying to run 4 x Zeus blizzards on the one Raspberry Pi, and it doesn't seem to be coping. I am using bfgminer 4.4.0 and even at a lower clock of 308 I am getting like 20% HW errors and all sort of problems, like sometimes not all of the blizzard will start and I have to quit bfgminer and launch it again, I often get ZUS 0: Comms error (werr=1) and other bad looking messages. The CPU load is about 1.5.
Anyone know the practical maximum of Blizzards you can run of a single Pi?

Re: BFGMiner 4.4.0: GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, Mac autodetect, JTMiner, proxy
I am having a problem with the latest bfgminer 4.4.0 from github and FreeBSD 10.RELEASE.
When I have 4 x zeusminer blizzards connected on /dev/cuaU0.../dev/ucuU3 they are mining ok, with the occasional "SICK" notice popping up then resuming, however when I press "q" to quit I get the message "Shutdown signal received" and bfgminer just hangs,
it's still in the process table in the "STOP" state, even a kill -9 wont get rid of it. I have to reboot the computer, however that hangs at shutting down the USB controllers, so I have to press reset or power cycle. Fortunately the disks have sync and set the clean flag by then.
If I only miner with one zeus at a time bfgminer exits properly, but often can't find any miners next time I try and run it. Seems to be struggling with the USB ports.
Any ideas what might be going wrong?

did they ship yet ? , did they ship yet ? , did they ship yet ?
i know , the 14th

Batch 1 was originally advertised as shipping the 10th-20th., seems they have fallen behind the start 4 days, which is no big deal.
If not them, then who would you compare bitcoin to? I grant you that it's not a perfect comparison, but there is no one to one comparison between bitcoin and the traditional financial world: the bitcoin network / ledger / mining combined creates new coins, processes transactions, handles transaction fees, etc.
I picked a major player in the traditional financial system to choose to compare. But if you want to say that it's a flawed comparison, then you're missing the point here. The point is if you're going to make a comparison, you have to compare bitcoin to something. And bitcoin does what credit card companies (like Visa) do, it does what Banks do in creating money, it handles transaction fees, which traditionally would be something credit card companies do. So...what would you compare bitcoin with? If you want a true one to one comparison, you're shit out of luck, because there isn't any one to one comparison since the bitcoin network does what several different players of the traditional financial system do.
The comparison flawed, it's like trying to compare cars to roads, it just doesn't make sense. The Visa style payment gateways sit on top of the currencies. Visa could easily add Bitcoin as one of the supported currencies. Visa chooses to use fiat atm, but I can see it adding some crypto in the future, and it's infrastructure or energy consumption will hardly need to change as it wont be mining the crypto.
