but they got $200 million in ICO/presales... seems some peuple believe in then and their new miner tech?
That is why P.T. Barnum long ago said 'There's a sucker born every minute'. Over all it is estimated that over 80% of un-regulated ICO/Token/ sales turn out to be Ponzies or other outright scams. |

This also applies to mixing A721 and 741's on 1 RiPi. To be specific, the A7/A8 on one controller caveat is to not flash the MM firmware (inside the miner on daughterboard) with both A7/A8 on 1 controller as it is applied to all miners at the same time. Only other thing to remember is that if you play withe voltage offset option, again, it will apply to all miners.
Sooo, just get a RiPi-3 from Amazon or whoever for $30-40, a nice case for it and flash the SD card with the latest controller firmware (which is really software....) from Canaan .

If you are wrong, you should say sorry to Halong Wink
No. Halong must blame ONLY themselves for the crap they are having being flung at them. They are the ones who chose to follow and furthermore continue to follow the Scamming for Dummies (TM) playbook for their marketing. So much they could easily do to undeniably show the world they have a miner and are capable of producing it in quantity and yet Halong is either incapable of doing that because the miner has not been able to move from prototypes/pre-production runs or for totally inexplicable reasons still just refuse to. Either way, Halong is getting exactly what they deserve here. |

<snip> 4876 people trying to simultaneously buy less than 200 units. cart just has problems on the last few, its millliseconds between stock removal and addition for the last few. It is not that it is getting pulled from your cart, the front end caching is not caught up with the backend and it was not available to begin with. If you can replicate a way to have 4000 people checkout at the same time on three different browsers, send us a resume. But for the few that emailed us saying they had problems and didnt tell us to eat a d**k we took care of them.  Actually there are several companies that can do order systems front and back-end stress-testing on any scale you need. On larger scales the likes of Amazon and CC companies et al, yes that is done in-house. A friend of mine with Phd in CS used to head AMEX's on-line services QA lab in Miami where they routinely simulated 10's of thousands of simultaneous customer sessions using every imaginable browser & OS configurations to verify the on-line sessions worked before taking changes live. |

Still just pie-in-the-sky PR to raise monies via their token sales. Some recent insight re: 10nm and lower nodes. Pay attention to the parts about the cost and number of masks/steps needed when using non-EUV light sources. Current node size points and costs*can* 7nm be done without EUV? A very cautious 'yes' if cost and production rates are no object but it will NOT be happening in this year before Q4. Otherwise 2019 is still a very safe guesstimate before any production-ready processes are starting up assuming the remaining hurdles to the EUV sources can be solved. |

Lord that layout reminds me soooo much of the disastrous layout that Bitmine.ch/AMT used on their failed A1 miner. Why the frek so many bucks being used? No bypass caps seen near the chips, etc...

digging this thread, what would be the most cost efficient way of buying T/H? Lets all go in together and start a cloud mining site! I can raise some funds!
a. Cloudmining discussions are verboten in this area and thread b. Cloudmining in general sucks the sweat off of a hogs balls because a good part of the income goes to the operators and NOT the miners |

ROLF... 100k chips is NOT a 'huge order'. Certainly sizeable for need-it-now order with pricing to go with it but the systems my company make can each process interposers (fanouts for die to packaging connections) to make 3x that many chips in a week... Consider that using say 149 chips/miner 100k chips equates to only 671.1409395973 miners

Bitmain has never sold their s9 chips. Period. That ^^ reseller is either selling stolen chips, ones salvaged from improperly disposed scrap, or relabled dummy chips. No matter what it is a highly ILLEGAL operation. DO NOT SUPPORT ANY GRAY-MARKET ACTIVITIES LIKE THAT.

Canaan is no longer having chips made for the A721/A741's and issued an EOL (End Of Life) statement for them here last Dec. Maybe a couple of the miners are hiding in a corner somewhere but is doubtful.

Seems like demo day came and went as expected.
Yep. As in ZERO information resulting from it. And Halong just keeps the waving the SCAM flags harder and harder.... |

Wow only one?!? I guess that must have been me! Only one BTC payment? Um check yer sales, This month I've gotten 2x Bitmain APW PSU's, 2x of the Feb 7 A821's, and 1 of your controllers for them. All different orders and all paid in BTC. |

Fist and foremost be aware that Bitmain does not use nor support ANY resellers. Even if a reseller is legit you have NO factory warranty protection. Warranty issues are strictly between you and the reseller.
That said I would trust only Myrig.com and Blokforge.com as a US based reseller. Myrig also repairs s9 miners so not too concerned about warranty there. Not sure how Blokforge handles Bitmain products but as an authorized distributor for Canaan's Avalons I *would* trust them at least as far as sales go.
Personally, I say screw Bitmain and get Avalons. They don't break anywhere near as much as the s9's do.

Dying to pick up a couple of 821s to feed into kanopool, but really want to do my buying through minerwarez.com They are being very quiet about the new units and it has me wondering? Other distributors (blokforge etc) are taking pre-orders but minerwarez hasn't even made an announcement. Is this their typical SOP with new products or should I be jumping horses and going with a new provider and putting up with wire transfers and overseas shipping? My gut tells me to be patient but I have limited experience all around, and with them in particular, to go on. My one single order with them went perfect by the way.
Just curious...
So perhaps ask in the Minerwarez thread? |

Is the 821 firmware available for the controllers yet? I got a blokforge 741 controller but now getting an Avalon 821 miner instead so mineaswell get ready
Firmware has NOTHING to do with the controllers. Firmware resides only inside the miners themselves. The 721/741/821 all run the same controller SOFTWARE which is based on OpenWRT & LUCI. |
|
|
|
Anyone know if the 741 controller will work with the 821? Also would a 1500w power supply be sufficient on 110v?
For the umptheenth time here in the Forum, yes the the same controller can be used with the 721/741/821 all at the same time. Just don't update the Firmware with them like that because Firmware updates are applied to all miners on a controller and the Firmware is miner-specific. As long as the PSU will put out 1,500w when fed 110v sure. Check the ratings on its label... |

or the crypto miners of today are just that dumb. Given how so many apparently think that all coins are 'Bitcoin' and refuse to post altcoin queries in the right areas I say, 'Bingo!' IMHO Twitter and its instant gratification in 250 characters or less ilk are just as bad of a Social Disease as Syphilis and seems to be affecting folks's brains just as badly. |
