Not me. I have Ethman running on 4 rigs (RX470, Win10 Pro, blockchain drivers) for days with no issue.

If you ordered those 100 L3+ and power supplies through GW, I guess you can try to get some WTT tokens from EtherDelta to be eligible for renting tokens and have GW deploy those L3+ instead of sending them to you. If they deploy your miners, hopefully, they will take care of the supply power issue for you. If you order your equipment directly from Bitmain, you may have to figure out what to do with them yourselves. Your best bet is to contact GW support to find out what options you have.

There are basically 2 options: 1) GW procures UL listed power supplies from another source and returns OEM ones to BM, or 2) BM somehow gets its power supplies certified by UL. I believe GW is pursuing option 1 at the moment.



IIRC, only IOUs of WTT are traded on HitBTC, not real WTT tokens. If you really want to buy WTT tokens right now, you can try EtherDelta.com. I wouldn't buy any WTT on HitBTC until it is officially listed there.

No, GW has to find other power supplies that are approved for use in the US. I guess the challenge right now is to procure thousands of such power supplies in a short period of time. If your miners arrive and can be deployed at GW before your tokens are released, you probably have to rent tokens for them if you want to start mining right away.

There isn't much activity on their Slack channel. Try their Telegram channel instead. It's much more active. GW CEO, Dave Carlson, said this morning that GW people were putting together info for equipment purchasers and that emails would be sent out to them with some indication as to which POD (or which set of power capacity that comes online) their miners would go into. According to their timeline, POD 1 at Pangborn already passed "Final City inspection prior Launch of the POD" and "UL listing inspection". "Hardware Deployment" is next on 09/16/17, "UL labeling" on 09/17 and "L&I Final Inspection - Occupancy" on 09/18. It seems the issue with BM power supply was resolved. WTT tokens for batch 3 and 4 are delayed for 5-6 weeks still. Hope it helps.

I just joined Giga Watt slack channel to try to learn more about the delay. I am going to copy and paste what was posted yesterday by davidellison for those who do not have access to Giga Watt slack channel. BTW, you must email Giga Watt support and ask for an invitation to be able to join their slack channel.


1.  The delays as you can see from the timeline have mainly come from the codes inspectors.  GW is pulling in enough power for a small town and so they are scrutinizing everything.

2.  The GW team has been working very hard to address their concerns even though they may be small or petty.
 
3.  The latest controversy is over the PSUs from Bitmain.  Their PSUs don't have any formal agency stamp of approval and as a result will not allow GW to use them.  The ironic part is that Megabigpower (Dave Carlson's preceding company) has been successfully using them for many months.

4.  So to address "PSU gate" (as it's being referred to), GW is going to use another power supply available to them to get the first mining rigs up and going.

5.  It appears that the first Pod (or two - not sure) have received approval to commence mining once the PSU issue is resolved.

6.  So, GW is looking to get the first mining rigs up and running by the middle of this week (Wednesday).  Thankfully the GW team is willing to substitute their PSUs (as many as they have available) to get things rolling.

7.  GW is working with Bitmain to return the uncertified PSUs for credit (over $1M credit) and then pursue finding an alternate PSU.  GW has experience with other PSUs and is well aware of which units are preferred from a reliability and efficiency standpoint.  The challenge now, I believe is to find these alternate PSU’s quickly and at a reasonable cost.

I’m probably leaving out some info but I believe I’ve covered the main points of what’s been communicated.

Also, don’t be surprised if my understanding isn’t 100% completely accurate.

Hope this helps….if you have any questions, I’ll attempt to answer as best I can.

8.  Oh yeah….the other challenge with using another PSU is the connectors.  Fortunately, GW has experience with making connectors to interface with the Bitmain miners.

Can you elaborate? At what rate are you renting out your tokens? Is there a marketplace where you can choose offers to rent tokens? Is there any contractual time-limit on tokens rented out to miners? TYI.

Thank you very much, scryptr!!!

Hi guys, I have a noob question here. How do I set the following environment variables in Ubuntu?

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

I know "setx" is used in windows, but how do I do it in linux?. I've tried Google search but could not find answers. TIA.

Maybe I'll wait until it's offered through Giga-Watt.

Thanks, Zed. Just read that thread a few minutes ago. People seem to be not too happy with the company. Their website advertises the 5th batch Of PandaMiner B3 Plus Pre-sales (1000 Units). Shipping starts on 07/17/17. Are people in this still going to buy the PandaMiner from them? I want to order a couple but really am hesitant after reading that thread.

Has anybody seen the PandaMiner B3 Plus offered at Giga Watt?
