so, in your opinion, is BFGminer definitely a better choice than Chainminer?
Chainminer kept conking out on me. Sometimes it'd take a few tries to get it running stably, and even once it appeared to be stable, sometimes it'd die for no good reason. Hashrate kept fluctuating. It (or the stratum proxy) also didn't like BTCGuild. bfgminer has been far less troublesome, so I'd have to say that it is the better choice. That it'll also handle my BFL miners plugged into the RPi over USB is a bonus (was able to get rid of the power-hungry P4 that was running all my mining hardware). I've not applied any hardware tweaks yet. I've not tried backing off the voltage from the regulator, and I'm waiting for heatsinks to arrive (ordered this 100-pack last week). of course you're right. i've been experiencing the same problems with chainminer. not looking forward to the effort of switching over. Just when I think I have everything solved... I am suffering from the same issues. Noncerate in the admin panel is good... 507 Gh and 468 Gh (chainminer.) On Eligius they combine to only 594 Gh worth of submitted shares. Something is wrong here. I've tried it with and without this cronjob mod (both on 5 and 10 minute intervals): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=250249.msg3171841#msg3171841That doesn't seem to make a difference although 5 minutes seems really bad as reported hash rate slows down more so than normal... this is too quick. Now I am going the other way and am trying it on 15 minute intervals.... I will report back. I'm going to keep bumping this number up by 5 minutes to see if it makes any difference. If this doesn't work I suppose my only option is to use bfgminer? |

Although the shelves are metal, they are coated in a plastic/epoxy material. I have ran Mobos for GPU rigs directly on the shelves for over a year now with no problems, so I'm not that worried about it. I really like these shelves for mining equipment.. I got them at target. The wire racks allow for optimal air flow.  |

To: kslaughter / whomever it may concern
ROI is looking quite dismal. Is there any chance the delivered equipment will run faster than advertised? Or is there any other way you can make it up to your customers somehow by delivering extra units or something? I spent over $10,000 with you guys and would appreciate it if you allow me to at least break even on my purchase. If not, do not expect me to be a repeat customer.
Thanks for your time,
Ch

In case you don't see this in the other two threads I posted it in.. Hrm. This is not exactly how I envisioned this going. This is very frustrating.. my Avalons and KNCminers I was able to setup and get hashing within minutes. Add the assembly time of a full rig, plus the fact they're both not working.... I got two full rigs today. One is running at 225 Gh and the other is running at 0 Gh. Rig 1:
Bank 1
1: 33.415GH/s
2: 33.443GH/s
3: 20.702GH/s
4: 21.79GH/s

I'm certain everything is hooked up correctly. I have checked several times. I tried replacing the PSU and that didn't do anything. I am using a 1200w to run both full rigs. I'm sorry if this is covered... (I'm going to go back and read through this thread now.) Any quick suggestions though? This thread is so long.. I'm not sure if this matters, but it seems the two rigs might have different firmware versions. One says this on the main admin screen the other does not: "Attention! Please set pool difficulty on your pool to 32-512 depending on your hashrate. Low difficulty setting will result in work queue overload, and drop your hashrate substantially. If running a full unit, please make sure all cards are installed in slots written on the back side of the card. Due to SPI bugs, the miner may need to be stopped and restarted using the buttons above." (I don't take credit for these fixes, some of them I found out on my own and some of them I read from other user's experiences.) I needed to find a way to keep the cards stable, they come with crappy 1x PCI connectors and are really wobbly, especially when being blasted by fans (which is necc. to keep them cool and stable). The movement in the cards was causing the rig to slow down slowly over time until the affected cards eventually ended up at 0 Gh. To fix this I used two rows of electrical tape along the top of the cards to hold them in place better. Cooling may or may not have been an issue. I added an extra box fan in front (two box fans now) and also two computer fans blowing air down on top of them for added air flow. I was under the impression that two full rigs would run on one 1200 watt power supply. It turns out that seemed to be overloading the PSU (a nice gold rated ASUS). I ended up using a separate PSU for each rig and that got them both mining. I think this is the main reason why the one was getting 0 Gh and wouldn't mine. As soon as I put it on its own PSU it started working fine. I put slower H cards in the last slot of each bank to keep them from interfering with other H cards. If you have one bank that is not working but all the rest are, this is likely the issue. If the card in the first slot of each bank is not seated properly, the rest of the bank will not work. I hope this helps someone and saves them the 16 hours of their life that I just wasted. Now... I wish I would of realized all this before spending all night messing with firmwares... flashing sdcards... installing a different OS... trying BFGminer... trying cgminer... etc. :rolleyes: My phone messed up while uploading, but a couple pics: http://imgur.com/a/9vDAm#apBFVy5 |

Spent about 12 hours tinkering with it, but I think I finally got mine working... no clue whats gonna happen tomorrow when it warms up tho.
You are luckier than I, enjoy it sir.  After spending several hours trying random things suggested all over, I've still had no luck. One rig starts off good at about 450 Gh, but slowly goes down to 250-350 Gh. I have to hit start/stop every 5 minutes to keep it above 400 Gh. I am now switching out H cards in different slots to try and see if I can come up with a card configuration that will run more stable. I read putting bad cards in the last slot of every bank helps. The other one can't even pull 0 Gh. I'm thinking it's possibly a bad M board, or something is wrong with the firmware. There are others with this problem.. so I'm glad knowing I'm not alone. It sucks having an $8,000 bitcoin mining rig and it can't even do 0.1 Gh. I'm gonna keep messing around with it, but at this point I'm at a loss as to what to do. |

I have a full rig populated and am trying to figure out how to get this thing mining. I can log into the ip address using my laptop via the bitfury admin page and set the pools address along with my username and password. However when I hit start mining, nothing happens. If I look at my screen hooked up to the raspberry pi, it asks for a login and password. I think the raspberry pi doesn't like my sidewinder x4 Microsoft keyboard has it constantly looks to have a stuck key. Not to mention when I try to type a password, nothing shows. It makes typing on this keyboard quite difficult. I'm thinking I might need to pick up a basic keyboard.
Anyone have a good how to setup link
We seem to be suffering from the same problem. I think it's an issue with the firmware not being installed correctly. However, I'm not sure how to fix it yet. RE: heatsinks.. I'm positive its not the temperatures. I have a large box fan on them and the temp in the room is about 73 degrees... I have a 20k BTU A/C to help keep things cool. |

As suggested, I'm going to replace the H boards that aren't working on the rig that is half working to try to get it to the advertised 550+ Gh.
The one that's at 0 I'm still at a loss. I think it's a firmware issue. Are there any instructions on how to flash the SD cards with the images in the OP?

Scam? That's debatable.
Bad investment? Absolutely.

Ill do .5
You got 'em. I'll PM you |

Bump. 8 1/2 hours left.
It's odd to me there are no bids. Is .5 BTC for 103 chips really such a horrible deal?
I reserve the right to cancel this at any time, even if there are bids. I'm gonna run the numbers on getting these assembled and how much I could mine. I've been pretty busy so I didn't really want to deal with it. However, I have feeling I could make a little more than .5 BTC... *off to a calculator I go*

Weren't you supposed to tape out in the first week of October???
Does this mean you're one month behind schedule?
EDIT: And... he's gone without answering the most important question of all. LOL. They were online when I posted this reply.
Just tabbed to another window, you sure are fast! We have been expediting every part of the production and manufacturing process to compensate for the delay in tape out. A lot of preparation was also done based on the feedback from our mock tape out, and these efforts are all to minimize the lead time. We estimate that we are still on schedule for our communicated delivery times. Good to hear. Yes.. they call me speedy gonzalez around these parts. Cheers & congrats on the tape out, Ch |

You guys have obviously never done any (smart) investing before
That is why I'm classing you as a fucking prick! The truth hurts sometimes.  Not at all, I have made many smart investments. One bad investment does not make a person. "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while." |

eMunie will be open source at some point, but not on release day. If you see the 100 Bitcoin copies out there then this makes a lot of sense, so there are not 10 eMunie style currencies after 2 weeks.
I'm not sure what I think of this policy. You can't fight the inevitable. If eMunie is as great as it looks, there will be copy cats. You can't stop this. eMunie will always be the first though, network effect goes a long ways. All of the copy cats will be considered just that- copy cats. |
