I know this isn't really the best place to do so but we have been trying to get our $$ back from AMT for a couple weeks now with various voicemails and emails sent their way and no response as of yet except 1 missed phone call returned.

If you could please, we would like our money returned for Order #1196.

We are trying not to get upset about it and be as respectful as we can.

We decided we jumped the gun and just want out. Simple as that.

Please AMT, refund our order. We'll keep calling/emailing in the meantime.

What are you mining on these "beasts" if I may ask? Smiley

Just bitcoin.


Also, looks like we stabilized by connecting the boxes to windows or OSX boxes. The linux box we were using may end up being the culprit.
24  Bitcoin / Mining support / BFL 5GHS and 50GHS + Bitminter <-- seems to need to be babied? on: January 10, 2014, 05:45:47 PM
So we ordered a baby jalapeno (5GHs) a while back and have been using Bitminter on a linux box. Hashing rates are fine and all that but every so often, the rate will go to 0 and it just stops working.

In these cases, stopping and restarting the hashing often doesnt work so you have to either physically unplug and replug the USB cord back in and restart the jobs or restart the client completely.

it hasn't been that bad so we've just kept at it and 'babied' it along.

Well we ordered a 50GHS (calling this one junior) and plugged it in with the baby and they both were going pretty good at their respective hash rates.

Now we've seen the junior box doing the same as the baby jalapeno sometimes where it just goes to 0....meanwhile baby is still hashing away just fine.

A new issue that's slightly different has started happening with junior that doesnt happen with baby too though...instead of stopping and going to 0H/s, the meter freezes at 50GHs or 51 or whatever it's at and it no longer moves and it no longer accepts jobs.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with the 5 and/or 50 GHashers with Bitminter and what kinds of things have you tried to get around that?

Meanwhile we plugged the baby into a windows box and it's been going fine. I'm trying an OSX box for the junior today to see how it goes.

Wow looks like you guys have some good hardware and you actually deliver. What a concept =)

When do you think you'll start having 1THers in stock?

1TH is still under development and there is no time scale yet im sorry to say.  Hoping to have something in a few weeks.  Please be sure to signup to our newsletter and you will be updated.

Thanks for your support.

Great thanks =)

I'm looking forward to your review of the machine! I got mine hashing, it seems it was a faulty USB cable that I was using. I actually pulled the machine apart so there is ample air flow around the bitfury boards. It hashes much quieter, much cooler, much more steady and with much less electricity than my 80gh Avalon Gen2.

Why the images you published were erased?

Hi, I'm one of those people who have been reading and watching this thread since the day I ordered my miner from AMT. I've been silent the entire time because, frankly, this thread became rather heated and I didn't want to get involved. Besides, I thought the whole "noob" thing was more involved than it actually is, so I didn't want to sign up. I've been doing bitcoin for a long time now and so I didn't feature being considered a "noob".

At one stage people were asking how we found out about AMT - in my case, I found out about them from their ad on CoinEx. After seeing it multiple times I decided to give them a shot. They do have quite a professional-looking website, so I bought one 80gh miner to try them out.
On the one hand I understand the several of you who have reservations or doubts about AMT. I have to admit that I was quite afraid that I had lost my investment over the past few weeks. Also coupled with the fact that there is (or was) no trace of anyone having one of their miners, not on Google, not on eBay, not anywhere, was truly scary.
At any rate, I ordered a 80gh miner on December 5th. My order number was #888. I paid with BTC. A few days before Christmas I sent an email and Jim replied that I would hear shortly from them that the miner was finished. Sure enough, this week I got an email in my inbox saying that the miner was ready for me to pick it up. I live just outside of NYC, so I took the drive down to Havertown.
Josh was at their small office, he had my miner, and he sat me down and showed me how to connect it and get hashing.
I have to admit that I was pretty happy to see that indeed the location is real, the company is real, it is indeed US based, and I have a real miner for them.
I know that Biomech will give a report on the product within the next few days, but for anyone out there thinking less of what his report will be based on the fact that he was given a miner to review, I want to add this post as a paying customer who has received his product.
Furthermore, they didn't pay me to post this, I paid full price for my miner - I'm getting nothing out of giving this report. Still there are many of you who could appreciate someone going to the physical office to reassure you (more than a google earth pic), so I'm writing this to give you that reassurance.
I still haven't gotten the miner hashing. It was working fine at the office when Josh was showing me, however I needed to change settings to get it working on my network and managed to mess things up. So now Josh is back and forth with me on email trying to help me fix up what I messed up!

Here are some pics:

Thank you for posting! this definitely helps. The pictures however are no longer available. Would you be willing to post them again somewhere else?

At any rate, this is a good sign. Frankly I've been hoping that we invested in a company that is probably just a bit on the amateur side right now......instead of investing in a 'scammer'. With a few products delivered, it seems like the former may be the case after all.

Thanks

Well we ordered a 1.2TH too. Wire transfer only. That was before I found this thread.

I'll definitely be looking out for any of the orders a few posts above if they arrive!

Have you tried running it as root or sudo?

From what I understand, the thing the calculators don't often take into account (enough) is the difficulty of mining as more bitcoins are mined.

Some of them do actually factor it in but it's a moving target so they can't get an exact amount.

I would expect that any number you calculate out is going to be much higher than the real stuff....but the only way to figure it out is to start mining Wink

Hey everyone

My fiance got me into this whole bitcoin thing. He's really into the financial crisis and getting your money in other mediums and such.

Anyway, we purchased a BFL baby jalapeno (5GHs) box recently and love it!

Hoping to upgrade to something more substantial but it seems like it's a huge waiting game and lots of scammers out there.

Also, I frequent freenode irc channels as valheru7 so feel free to say hi sometime.

Thanks!
