^^your order ack is garbage in case off a refund. do you have a order ack with the BTC price first as I have?
I ordered on Day 1. HashFast only accepted payment in Bitcoin though BitPay, there was no other option. (They did not accept USD or direct BTC until after their webstore broke). From the announcement post: Payments to be made in BTC with the help of BitPay A full refund is the return of exactly what I paid, in the currency I paid it in. BitPay allows the merchant to convert it to USD or keep it in BTC. What HF does with it after the transaction is up to them and does not concern me. We are customers. Not investors or backers. AMEN!! There are still some lost souls in this forum still wondering whether a refund shd be in USD, BTC (or perhaps even Mexican Pesos), overcomplicating their own existence with calculators in hand trying to figure out the average exchange rate, other crap and what not. Finally someone gets it!! |

So between HashFast and Cointerra, whos actually gonna ship first?
John S. (VP Sales) just told me Baby Jets should start shipping out on Saturday!If anyone can get our hardware through the holiday rush and your local customs office quickly, it's CIARA. John S. (aka Jody D.) I called it BS. Yes, knowing their current track record they can ship worthless BS w/o software or even an enclosure containing sand by end of year and then ship the rest just to claim they sent some shit. |

I'm running my Antminer with 2 fans. Should I still put a piece of paper on top of the heatsinks?? If so, hopefully it won't cause an accident in case it gets in flames. Perhaps there's a better material...
Why should it get in flames - heatsink? According to this - autoignition point for paper is at 218-246 'C - I kinda doubt it that you will reach it with antminer. As for a better material - perhaps you can use a metal plate, but again there is a risk that it will melt at 1538 'C  I don't know. Just thought of potential sparks somehow in case of some crazy short circuit since I'm planning to leave miner unattended during the Holidays. Hehe. Let's in that case use some Tungsten sheets. 10000 'F a pop :p |

Does putting that paper on top of the heatsinks really help airflow that much? What are the temp differences with and without that you are seeing? i'm also add second fun (12cm to 5v pins, low noise), without paper it is a ~50-54 after adding - ~42-45. Paper is the most important to the most distant from the fan chips. Without it, the end of the radiator can be burned my finger when i touching. I'm running my Antminer with 2 fans.

It is time HF reached out to customers to confirm shipping dates and addresses.
I provided a work based shipping address but during the holidays it will be closed. If this is the case I will need to change the address to my home address. i.e. I need to know *when* my unit ships to determine where to receive it.
Also whatever happened to the managed hosting plans? HF will not be able to deliver all 550 units globally before the end of the year (Most postal services are overloaded around Xmas) and merely providing tracking numbers is *not* a substitute for delivery.
HF get your act together.
Here is one way they can save their skins - give EVERY batch 1 customer free 6 month hosting! Tadaaaa...no worries about shipping delays and hence no breaking of the ToS. Keep dreaming. They can't force hosting on customers. I would NEVER trust hosting of any of my miners. I prefer full control of absolute anything I purchased in HAND. Not F*ing hosting. I need to customize cooling, pools, miners, API, PSU, **ALL** as I always do. We purchased a physical product , not a stupid unit far in the cloud. We are the product owners. Not them. |

Oh and I should mention that the PSU that this happend to was a Corsair AX860 which is likely made by Seasonic. I don't know the gauge of the wire they use but if I had to guess I'd say it 18 AWG.
Strange :| I'm running a full rig @ ~570GHs off a TX850M and she seems cool as a cucumber. But like I said I bet you did not make the mistake of running BOTH 6pin connectors off of the same main PSU 8pin PCIE feeder (talking about the modular plugs on the PSU itself) Essentially it's a splitter that converts 8pin to TWO 6pin. That is what I was using and that's a big no no. Check your total power usage and feel to see how hot the cables feel at the PSU end. That is where it will most likely melt the plastic around the pins. I also observed a funny phenomenon where the system slowly overclocks itself. Essentially the resistance on the h-cards at the R02 resistor lowers itself with time. Don't ask me how this happens, but it may be somehow the way I pencil modded them? I dunno, either way I'm hoping that it will remain stable for now. Anyways, wrong thread for this discussion. Yes, that's true!! The R02 resistor lowers itself with time. I guess the hot carbon sitting in that resistor becomes more "resisting" over time?? I've consistently seen this effect as well. I used HB pencil. A good experiment is to use H2 or harder pencil to see if it has the same or worse effect. |

As each day passes HF looks more and more as major failure. It may sound cruel for BTC community, but now I hope for temporary BTC price drop at refund time, so the refunds would have more value when issued. Even if HF cheats with BTC refunds and calculates them in US$ it would have less impact for the buyers.
You get what you paid. It's even stupid to think that they would pay you in dollars at a new conversion rate since they took BTC when you closed the sale contract with them. Otherwise, expect a massive class action lawsuit since that'd be fraud. They have to return what that took from you. Did they took oranges or peanuts? No. So no need to worry about what's the current conversion rate with any currency. It'd be double stupid to do otherwise considering that the MPP is based on BTC return!! Not dollar returns. |

Charts still show a downward trend. It will take alot of buying to change it. If the market sinks below 650-600 even the western whales will sell with extreme vigor. I doubt the whales will sleep tonight.
the interesting thing is that there is no real way to resolve arbitrage quickly between the exchanges yet it seems many of the bots key off one another.. each exchange could have their own massive pump/dump (and a few times you can see it) but it seems the whales play nice with each other for the most part this latest levitation from 650 turmoil to 750 rainbows proves a few things... hardly a fight, and hardly much volume. Looked like trickle sells to the scared and soon the drop back.... How do you know they play nice with each other? Because they big volume suddenly drops after a big move?? |

No Overclock. Corsair 1200 ATX PSU that feeds a total of 3 Antminers. 1140 Watts at the wall.
That's cutting it too close for stable operation of 3 units, IMO :| FWIW, I've found it best to leave myself 20% headroom on PSU's. Don't confuse AC with DC. 1140w AC input @ 90% efficiency = 1026w DC output. Well under the 1200w rated output. So this means I'm good and I can discard the PSU as the potential culprit for the errors I'm seeing? No, this mean what i say before, that your PSU is to small for 3 Ants. 360-390watt each x3 =1080-1170watt consume. If your PSU bring 1200watt max output, you will got effective about 1030w. So in any case it is to low! You can believe it, or test it as i wrote above, or wait for 10 more opinion with the same result. Agree that it's close to the limit although I think you are still confusing input with output as someone else already explained: 1140w AC input (actually measured at the wall) @ ~90% efficiency = 1026w Output (the 1200 refers to OUTPUT not input). Another example: if PSU was spec'd 600W at 60% efficiency, under 100% load (DC Output), it'd draw 1000W from the wall. In any case, I'll split the load with another PSU just for the sake and see what happens! :-) |

Then you got the reason. 1 OC Ant need alone 450-500 Watt, for all 3 your PSY is definitly to small.
Oh, as I said, no overclocking. Normal Antminer is 380 so even with 3 it wouldn't reach 100% load. Even if it did, the PSU would simply draw more power from the wall, which is not the case. Not sure what's the relationship with throwing errors anyway..... |

What does this ASIC miner status mean?
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
In other Antminers, I'm seeing zeroes instead....
Why the difference? Which is good?
  Mean your Blade is full of error! Should been oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo then all chips work properly. Try to turn off, wait few minute and turn on again. but then how come I seem to have accepted shares with those marked fully with 'xxxxx' I reset it and some 'x' are now replaced with '0's but still have some 'xxx' RMA? Are you OCing? If OCing I would check with a 750W PSU with a single 12V rail. No Overclock. Corsair 1200 ATX PSU that feeds a total of 3 Antminers. 1140 Watts at the wall. |

Irony, it now seems you all are seemingly disappointed IF you recieve your miner BEFORE New Years....
Don't the Terms of Agreement/Service state you have to notify HashFast with some letter that you have not recieved your order "within a reasonable period of time"?
If you don't receive your unit by 11:59:59 PM on Dec 31st, HF, shipping carriers and the world has a proof record of non-delivery by that time. Then you can immediately send your letter since you necessarily needed to wait until that time in case you want a refund. Some people might be totally ok receiving unit later. It's up to people to individually make that refund choice if they are entitled to it, not a forced refund on people. |

That should be deliver "deadline *". The "deadline" (until they decide to retroactively change it after the fact) is based on delivery date not shipping date. * Of course the deadline for pre Aug 15th orders has long since passed, the company however has fraudulently decided to steal customers funds by not providing refund in violation of their own pre Aug 15th TOS.Correct. Delivery. Not shipping BS. I have a copy of their TOS and archive version in case they decide to lie and screw people. They should be serious about their TOS. |

I can no longer access the WAN interface after I mistakenly set it as DHCP. I hadn't enabled WiFi so it's not getting any address from my Wifi either.
Any way to access it? reset it?
Thanks,

Mine is only hashing half!! (90 Gh/s). Any reasons why??? What's going on???
whats your miner status show? does one of the boards show the chips as 'x'-es, or is only 1 board visible? I just figured that the control cable set was disconnected so I plugged it in and it enabled the other board. However, my main problem remains that I can no longer access the WAN interface after I mistakenly set it as DHCP. I hadn't enabled WiFi so it's not getting any address from my Wifi either. Any way to access it? reset it? Thanks, |

LAN should ALWAYS be DHCP. WAN should be static.
Oh, crap. I set WAN to DHCP and now I can't access the miner. Any advice? |
