The first one FTC USB block erupters be born, about 240Khash
-
Today, I minerd the FTC successfully with FTC USB block erupters. Yes ,It is support scrypt. I buy Gridseed GC3355 chip, It can mining FTC with about 60Khash. Official sales edition use four GC3355 chip, about 240Khash.

FTC USB block erupters made in china. ;)Chinese post: [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,6201.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,6201.0.html[/url]

Wait what… Did you build that yourself by purchasing the chips or is this something that is all ready assembled available for purchase?

Any link?

[/quote]No,I buy a development motherboard. It has a chips. I Connect the USB port. I compiled cpuminer 2.3.2 for GC3355.so Run minerd.exe. :)

Cool.
Wonder what the prices on ebay will become :) -
Oh wow… Do you think your one of the first to do this?
Also, why does it it say 0.00khash/s in the screen capture?

Wow.
Congratulations ahy!
I tip thy hat to anyone who is able to have a go at doing this sort of hackery! (if that’s an appropriate word)

Thank you so much for keeping us all in the loop of Chinese advancement.
-
woow…congrats mate 8)
-
for now at least, $240 is better spent on a GPU that can get more than 240Khash. It’s good to know what’s coming though. I imagine the technology will evolve pretty quickly and could leave GPU mining in the dust.
-
very cool! but $240 for 240 khs is kinda high,but i bet the power savings are great.
-
if i remember correctly it was around 2w pr unit. meaning those 240khashes only use 8w… have gpu’s beaten on that part ;D
Great work lizhi for keeping us up to date!

[/quote]These aren’t for mass consumption. They’re engineering samples for enthusiasts. The next step is taping out an ASIC from this design, from which you can expect to get anywhere from 2x to 10x the performace at 1/2 to 1/4 the power consumption. I imagine they’re selling these in order to raise the money to do this. Then we’ll see savings.

As long as the final price isnt astronomical then ill probably grab a few. idk what im going to do next summer,mining in texas during that time will make my apartment a sauna. -
Sell them exclusively on the FTC Marketplace. I’ll buy a few. :)
-
I’d love to buy one! This would be great for mining on my laptop.
-
Nice Development :o
-
Would love to buy one :)
