Is the Block Erupter Cube an all-inclusive product to immediately begin mining, or do I also have to purchase/install the blades separately?

You need a power supply, any computer power supply with 500 Watts and 2 PIC-E plugs will work. Also, you need a knowledge of networking to get it configured correctly. No need for blades, the cube has them inside.

Check out the Gigampz breakout board it is specifically made to work with this supply and bitcoin mining. You can get one from Gigampz.com.

Even with the new batteries, sometimes it does not work to the minimum required expectation. From your question, I could guess that you want to use this product for some minimum power required DIY works. This Product does not suit at all. Go for any ordinary Drilling Machine from Bush or the same manufacturer Black and Decker. I own a Drilling machine from Black and Decker, ordinary type. It is quite Powerful and can be used for Concrete Drilling also with Hammer Mode. It is not costly and can be used for all the drilling purposes.

You'll need to pony up and buy the accessory kit. The kit has everything you'll need. You'll enjoy this beast. I used it with a Leigh D4R Pro and loved it. The main purpose for the router and accessory kit was to plow out dados for casework and other furniture related projects. I do like the power and of course the dust collection.

No. Using one of these is perfectly fine. Some advise: I don't consider these profitable. With increasing difficulty you would be lucky to make enough to cover the $200 initial investment in one year. I just sold one of these on ebay for $150. I would not value them more than $25 with the difficulty trend. If you are looking to make a real investment I would purchase a larger miner or go the scrypt route and snach up some AMD cards.

No. This is exclusively designed for SHA256 based mining. The hardware can't process SCRYPT based coins

I bought mine back in January and it has since paid for itself plus some. In all honesty, at this point, you'd have to spend quite a bit of money to make money in it. The hash difficulty is too high.

It was not an important option for me, so I didn't specifically look for one with electric start. I would say no that it is not available since I did look extensively at a lot of Powermate generators and did not recall seeing this option. The honest answer would be " I don't know".

i just got mine about a week ago, but i have used a 3/8 diamond quarter round bit to edge some stone i am working on. the power will work, but you are cutting stone and need to go slow and have all the water you can stand flowing. this would not work on a full bullnose bit, on stone anyway!mike

Hi Laura, thanks for asking! The 1 Th/s BTC miner has 1000 Watt power supply. It will need a 20 amp circuit to operate on safely. If you need help setting up your miner, I offer technical assistance. I hope that helps you. If you have any other questions, please ask.

Yes. I use a single instance of cgminer v3.9 with multiple USB blocks that include antminer u1s, bpmc red furys, and block eruptors.

Yes, but as with anything I'd still recommend picking up something besides what comes in the box. It's a small little tube of paste with thermalwright branding on it. I personally love IC Diamond TIM but whatever you choose is up to you.

Oh another option is a battery powered angle grinder with cutting disk. Also this device is cheap enough that I simply purchased a case to put it in. Hope this helps

The blades as stated in the owners manual should have a "pulling action" bringing the materials into the machine. You will notice the difference in the feed because there will be more "pushing" involved. The machine will continue to operate and chip the material well after the blades are beyond optimum sharpness. I recall that I let my first blades with the factory edge go a long time. It's a great machine (I've had mine like 20 years and you won't find a chipper easier to store.) Note: even though blades will continue to "do the job" when not ideally sharp, as with any tool it is good not to let them go to the point where the blades begin to deteriorate. Inspection is very easy. All you have to do is remove the feed cone (3 1/2 inch nuts) and rotate the rotor and the blades are right there to view and feel the edge. You don't want chips to start in the blade. If you do keep up with it you can do the job with a sharpening stone as opposed to the expense and bother of a wheel, or having them done professionally. Hope this was helpful.

Turbine spins very fast, I hope people don't try to block it as it keeps things within operating temps. Duster already gets quite warm with extended use.Also as of note the fine tool attachment adapter has a 'blow hole'. I wanted to block it at first, but it regulates the pressure out of the tiny nozzle so it doesn't get overloaded. Don't try to block that either, it blows plenty strong without covering it up.

When I purchased ONLY the blower from Amazon, it did not include either the battery or the charger. I already had those pieces from when I purchased the weed eater, so I needed only the basic blower. I think you need to read the item descriptions carefully to see whether what you are buying includes the battery and charger. When you price batteries alone, you see they are rather expensive.

Long answer: I was lucky enough to have my USB ports on my desktop pc close to the PC's power supply fan outlet. So it actually blows a continuous stream of "coldish" air on the ASIC miner. So I don't use a separate miner. It's been running 24x7 for about a month without any issues. But it does get hot when running without a fan, and electronics generally don't like getting too hot. So I imagine the life time of the device will be shortened if it's running hot all the time. These devices are quite new and have probably never been CE approved or similar, so basically no one knows for sure. But I've yet to see any reports online about ASIC miners catching fire. That's a good thing. Also a cheap ebay or china USB fan is probably not CE approved either and not built to run 24x7 as is probably just as likely to burn :) Short answer: If you have any kind of circulation and make sure the two miners are not close to each other (causing heat to build up) I'd not be that conserned about a fan. There is a heat block on them. But if you dislike having hot things sticking out of your computer try to give them some kind of cooling.
