@desired_username
Have you received the package?
Yes. I got it today. 204pcs of USB block erupters (yes two hundred and four).  Lucky you.! How many BE's had you brought and which auction.? |

Kano, nobody really cares about your ROI bitching. Everyone is just so tired of hearing it from you. Really.
I seem to recall Dave saying he would send you some FREE hardware, after the paid orders went out. You might want to touch base back with him now that the August orders are out the door. It couldn't hurt.
You forgot to read the last line. Kano - Am Sure he did. And we all did. But your initial comment below is nothing related to bitfury. It is more related to writing an image to SD card in the link here http://www.embeddedarm.com/support/faqs.php?item=10You just needed a reason to bitch about Dave and bitfury. If you think bitfury doesn't ROI, why are you even on this thread trolling. If bitfury has decided that they will go with some other miner software and not cgminer, then that is their business decision. Look at the latest post from JaredR26, they have mentioned that they are working on a better gui for rPI and integration with miner software for oct orders. Probably it might turnout better than what you have in mind. Heh that link doesn't know how to use dd properly - the bs= option is pretty much mandatory if you don't want to take hours doing it.

6. Once you've found it, you should be in the root directory("cd /mnt/<devicename>/"). Do these commands:
sudo sed -i 's/10.10.11.249/192.168.1.249/' etc/network/interfaces
sudo sed -i '/s/255.0.0.0/255.255.255.0/' etc/network/interfaces
sudo sed -i '/s/10.1.1.1/192.168.1.1/' etc/network/interfaces
1) I have a Windows PC. So if i boot from USB, will i be able to write to the SD card and modify the network config.? 2) I have a Macbook pro which has a SD card reader. Has anyone got an idea as to what steps i need to follow to make changes to the SD card in mac (if it is possible). Thanks, Q1: Step 6 from JaredR26 above is modifying the network config. Q2: If you have an sd card available, download the image, write it to the sd and put the sd card in your mac. Then check the Finder to see if it mounted the card. If it did, go to the etc/network directory. Is there an interfaces file ? Tutorial how to write the sd image to a card: http://www.embeddedarm.com/support/faqs.php?item=10Thank you very much. will try out and keep the group posted. |

Hmmm interesting concept, what about customs?
For stuff that is small like phones , the custom duty is not very much Axorb.. Be carefull with this. I tried this concept long ago and faced issues. Indian customs officials are cheap. They take whatever they get.. If you are accepting escrow, then the problem is your money is held with the escrow bearer until the shipment is received by the buyer. Make suitable judgements and make sure you have complete terms and conditions in place. EDIT : Also there are some things that are not allowed to be imported / exported out of USA. Make sure you know about it. For instance, i recently go a package from home with few clothes along with Aracanut (pan masala) in them (for Ganesh Chaturti). US Customs confiscated it. |

Then why don't you post how to do it correctly? Sorry - I don't have a BitFury and they wont even sell me one. Ask the Bitfury team  lol kano.. nice try. This is more of rPI and Linux network issue. Nothing to do with bitfury. Why do you want a bitfury miner to fix this..? |

Got a mail from DHL, it seems I got 20 block erupter USBs?
if that's the case then it's a nice gesture from fried cat.
Congrats.! What had you purchased, When.? and qty of your initial purchase.? |

after a massive roundabout circle of VMware permissions, i still cant modify th efiles in the linux partition of the SD card. without a linux computer/poweruser, how the hell am i supposed to fix the default ip address of 10.10.1.249?
with vmware it seems to deny my ownership of the filesystem and any changes i try to save are denied by a gedit error
I'm sorry for the trouble you are experiencing. The default gateway that you and others are experiencing is an oversight on some changes we made in the last two weeks, but didn't update our testing before we shipped these out to you. I don't know why you didn't get an SD card with your order. Can you PM me your order number so I can follow up on that part? The fastest way for you to fix this issue is going to be the following: 1. Download and burn a copy of Ubuntu(12.04 or 13.04 will work) 2. Put it into your computer and override the boot sequence so it boots from disk 3. Select boot from disk rather than install. Make sure your sd card is plugged in but not chosen as the boot device. 4. Once it boots up, open a terminal(Click the applications button in the top left and type terminal) 5. Try to see if it automounted the device. Do "cd /mnt/" and "ls". There should be a few things in there and my ubuntu tries to give sd cards a very long name. You can tell if you've found the right one by doing: "cd <name>" followed by "ls home/pi/*". It should print out a few things and not "no such file or directory". If it isn't there try removing and reinserting the SD card. If that doesn't work you'll need to mount the sd card. 6. Once you've found it, you should be in the root directory("cd /mnt/<devicename>/"). Do these commands: sudo sed -i 's/10.10.11.249/192.168.1.249/' etc/network/interfaces sudo sed -i '/s/255.0.0.0/255.255.255.0/' etc/network/interfaces sudo sed -i '/s/10.1.1.1/192.168.1.1/' etc/network/interfaces Once that is done, pull the SD card out and try to boot your rPI. You can avoid shutting down the ubuntu prematurely by loading firefox and trying to hit 192.168.1.249 (It takes about 3 minutes for the rPI to fully boot up, so give it a little time before trying this). Note that you'll need to change the above numbers if any of them don't match your network settings. You can check this in windows with ipconfig or linux with ifconfig. The info you need is the default gateway IP address(most likely 192.168.1.1) and the subnet mask(most likely 255.255.255.0). If this doesn't help we can probably overnight you an SD card to fix the issue, but unfortunately it is Friday now so that is little good for the weekend. Let me know if the above helps. Thanks for this step by step tutorial JaredR26. Am expecting my kits today and i presume that they will also have the same problem. P.S : Am not that good in Linux / Mac. I have a few questions to the group with regards to this. 1) I have a Windows PC. So if i boot from USB, will i be able to write to the SD card and modify the network config.? 2) I have a Macbook pro which has a SD card reader. Has anyone got an idea as to what steps i need to follow to make changes to the SD card in mac (if it is possible). Thanks, |

FYI. Be careful when accepting payments through snail mail.
I have heard of stories where forum member's houses have been raided by DEA and Narcotics.

Yes, it should. Instead of a single SPI path, there are four completely separate "banks" of 4 boards each.
Perfect. Thanks.! |

I just posted dropbox links to the V1 & V2 rPi images and chainminer code if you guys need to remake your SD Cards. Please be sure to use the correct image - especially make sure not to use the V2 image or chainminer code on a V1 board!
Check the OP for the support thread I posted (see my sig for link).
The M-boards we shipped out today are all V2, so remember that these boards use 4 distinct SPI channels. If you have 4 hashing cards, you can load them in the slot 1 of each bank for best results.
Also be sure to use two separate PCI-e cables from your PSU to the plugs on the M-board. Using one cable that has two plugs will just put extra load on that cable, possibly dangerous as you increase H-cards.
Tracking numbers should have come to you via email (when FedEx label was printed). If not, I'll check with the shipping team to see whats up.
With regards to Dave's message above. If i have 2 EOL boards, does anyone know if i can connect them to the same M-board (v2.2) in separate SPI channels / banks. Will that work.? |

Looks like the team managed to get all 36 outstanding August starters in boxes and out the door! Go team!
We will be sending emails out over the next day or so in order to get your BTC payment addresses.
Cheers,
Dave
Fantastic Dave. Kudos to you and MBP team. Appreciate it.! How do we get the tracking numbers.? I checked the site and it doesnot have it. Thanks, Received tracking number for order 135 and 145. Thanks Dave and Team.! I have another question regarding placement of EOL boards in v 2.0 M-Boards. Kindly can anyone answer it.

Hey Guys,
If any of you have an outstanding order from BFL and would want to get a refund (since most of their products don't ROI now). Shoot me a PM and i will advise you on how to proceed and whom to contact.
I was successful in getting a full refund within 16 hours of emailing the concerned person.

I (first auction winner) just received 2 BE blades (new model) in the mail.
Awesome. How many blades had you won in the auction.? So is it like 2 blades per auction blade won.? |
|
|
|
Apparently the account was hacked
So you got scammed.? |
|
|
|
Thanks mate. @Dave / JaredR26 : Any update on the shipment of outstanding AUG orders.? |
|

Since you are newbie. Please provide transaction reference. Blockchain address to validate your claim signing the message with your username. Thanks, |

I really feel the need to add some October boards to my August Start Kit. But my calculator tells me that unless I have them by October 7 they won't ROI.
So am I looking at this wrong? There are 179 boards left to sell so I guess there some with the same fear.
And what about those who bought the 300+ boards. Regrets now or will Dave & Co. still make it worth our while to purchase?
Just do the pencil mod trick to overclock your H-boards to buy you more hash. I'm doing 32Gh/s steady on my starter kit now for over 12 hours now. Be sure to cool it. I'll have 12 H-board total in October and should hopefully get above 375Gh/s out of my rig then. How do you do that.? Do you have the link to how to guide or something.? |
