i just turned on a ventilator, in the high summer, middle august. so since april i think. like there is some airflow, the air temperature now is around 14 degrees, but no fan and no reported error (actually less than 1% or something like that) on bfgminer and i never had a problem.. ROI is hard to calculate, specially if you think on the price when it came into the market, but for sure they are headache zero and silent. I prefer a 10GHs from erupter than the asic blaster (I have one, and I always think that it will burn my house down, that sometimes I have to reboot, etc)
Im running almost 40 without fan.. they are costing 0.17 BTC/each, are easy to change if one get burned and i don't want to keep it 10 years up and running.. I prefer to save watts, hub port and to keep everything in silence.. They are hot, but I don't touch them with my tong... so who cares
bump! I would like to see some pictures as well
interested ! Few questions:
1) Does it run smooth with BFGminer and/or CGminer?
1b) Do you have screenshots of the hashingpower/preformance on BFG/CGminer? please post them. Thanks.
2) Does it come with installationinstruction/manual?

what I dont get it is: for 3.0 BTC I can get 12, reaching ~ 4.0GB/s, It isn't cheap comparing with the blade (5.5, I can get 13 GB/s), but if I look on ebay, a 5GB/s BFL is being sold for 5-8 BTC.. so there is an advantage on the block erupter that people just ignore: It's here and you can buy 1,5,30,50! I have one blade and one BFL, 14 lancelots and 20 erupter.. the erupter are the one that give me less headache. They mine, they are not loud, they work fine with rapi, I dont need ventilator.. they just work! I do 31260 GH/s all of them still profitable (I'm doing 5.3 BTC/m)...
I will love to see people doing pre-order selling their legs, wives, etc and then "we are almost there", "we didn't receive the chips", "chinese mafia is blackmailing me", "we must review our plans and drop 50% of the hash power", etc, etc, etc
Re: [19 TH/s] BitMinter.com [ASIC support: var diff, Stratum, GBT, rollntime]
yup, odd. It always worked like a charm. I added a proxy on two VPS that I have and I'm balancing it via DNS.. I will keep it behind the proxy since I prefer to mine on bitminter.com 
Re: [19 TH/s] BitMinter.com [ASIC support: var diff, Stratum, GBT, rollntime]
The stratum proxy doesn't handle any error. Doesn't matter what you send, it forwards. As I told you another problem is, that you introduces a single point of failure. I don't want my whole cluster offline, because my pi proxy is down. From my network, just the first worker is able to connect to mint.bitminter.com. In all the others, the bfgminer switches to a backup pool (it says that mint.bitminter.com is dead) I have 3GB/H going to you and the others 12GB/H going somewhere else :-/

Re: [19 TH/s] BitMinter.com [ASIC support: var diff, Stratum, GBT, rollntime]
I'm having problem to connect more than one client to bitminter. I have 3 workers, that I don't want to put behind the stratum proxy - cause its bugged and it introduces one more point of failure - but looks like now I'm just able to connect with one client. are you filtering the number of connections per ip to help you to fight against the DDoS?
Ah, no, you did not... "If you produce less bitcoins (in the life of the miner) then the miner cost (in bitcoins), then mining activities has created a loss " <-- Most of the time when people start using this argument, they also say that it would be better to spend that money on BTC and save it than purchacing the mining equipment as you'd have more money in the long run. That is why I used the horse and water analogy... if a person can buy and wait they should and would be ahead, but not everyone can.
People mining for profit should do their best to separate profits/losses from mining activities and profits/losses from speculation.
If anyone is trying to determine if they should start a mining operation (for profit) or speculate on the price of bitcoins(for profit), they should do their own research and come up with their own conclusions. Random people on some forum may not be giving the best advice.
well said... from the miner point of view, to recommend people to buy coins makes sense: one less miner to fight against and one (or more) transaction(s) to be mined.
True, but overpriced, and with all the additional difficulties that come with eBay items.
which "additional difficulties" come with ebay that you don't have with BFL? I bought one overpriced, true, but well It is up and running. You can pre-order it cheap and don't receive it or receive it in.. january
Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service
shame on you (the seller is probably reading it) http://www.ebay.de/itm/Asic-Miner-Bitburner-XX-bis-18-GH-s-/251326535529?pt=DE_Computer_Sonstige&hash=item3a843a9769 // he says "its everything there, avalon will arrive in the next weeks".. that's scam.
Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service
the funniest thing to do is to read the first page of all those custom hardware new vendors and then jump straight to the last page. All of the posts start like "i love you, i want to buy it now, i wanna a baby with you" and then in the past page: "scammer, i sue you, i want answers now".. while fpgas and asic miners are hated or outdated, they are up and mining
i would love to hear that they are already mining with your hardware. as fpga miner myself, it means that it wont get harder to mine as soon the they ship, cause the same hardware is already hashing
Re: BlockBurner LLC - Crucible FPGA Scrypt Miner - Moving Forward
I"m interested as well, I do have an idea: can you take bitcoin FPGA miners as part of payment or even somehow adapt them to be able to work with ltc?
Count me in. Subscribed on the website.
Highly interested.
