0) Introduction
The RockMiner R-Box replaces the Cube in the ASICMiner family but consumes just 10% of the power. This is the first implementation of ASICMiner's generation 3, 40nm BE200 chip. Each unit ships in a custom made box with foam padding and is vacuum sealed from the factory. Cables included will depend on your reseller.

1) Powering

R-Boxes do not come with a power supply, and you will need a 2.5mm 12V mains power adapter. Also pictured is the method when using a BlackArrow power distribution board. I can not recommend its use due to the pins being openly exposed on the back side. Live to ground can so easily be shorted with a finger, posing both a safety and fire risk.

2) Cooling

The R-Box is self sufficient in cooling terms and utilises custom aluminium finned heatsinks on the top and bottom of the board. A low profile frame 92mm fan provides ample airflow while remaining effectively silent.

3) Configuration
R-Boxes can be run using CGMiner or BFGMiner. A Windows based PC is recommended although a similar process can be applied on a Raspberry Pi.

Using CGMiner:
  1. Download the latest version of CGMiner and Zadig.
  2. Extract, and run the zadig application.
  3. "Select CP21202 USB to UART Bridge Controller" and then click "Replace Driver". You only have to do this once per computer.
  4. Create a new file in notepad and enter pool information as below. Save it as a .bat in the same folder as CGMiner.
  5. Run the bat file to start mining.
cgminer.exe -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123

cgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123

cgminer.exe -o stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123

Using BFGMiner:
  • **If you have previously installed drivers using Zadig as above, you will need to reverse this to use BFGMiner**.
  • Download the latest version of BFGMiner (Win64 version).
  • Create a new file in notepad and enter pool information as below. Save it as a .bat in the same folder as CGMiner.
  • Run the bat file to start mining.
bfgminer.exe -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
bfgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u dogie_RockMiner -p 123
