2x6pin PCIe connectors are sufficient for 600W as long as they are on seperate sets of PSU leads. The problems experienced by [very few] bitfury users were almost exclusively caused by using a single lead with 2 plugs on it.

The config allows for 6+ and 6- wires. This is sufficient because in comparison, I have antminer systems running happily using only 4+ and 4- wires from the ATX leads and that is around 500W

sorry sushi, could you remove me from the list? I decided to sit out this round

refund received, thank you! I sent a small gift to your address as thanks

+1

pm sent with refund address. If this can be re-organised and tried again (maybe 200 units instead of 500?) I would once again be interested in between 11-30 units depending on price. (0.5BTC each would be nice if delivery is expected mid-January)

This GB simply got out of control, at no fault to CX. price changes, paypal issues, and buyers dropping out are always an issue with a group buy this large.

you are missing a 8-pin ribbon cable and not mining as a result?

go down to redioshack/source/citrcuit city or any other store that sells wires and electrical tools. find a 8-pin flat cable or buy 6 seperate [thin] wires. ghettorig the wiring yourself.

if you cant find a connector to match or lack the soldering/ghettorigging skills to do it, im sure you can find an electrical repair shop to do it in a heartbeat for <$25 (<30 minutes work)

I agree that you are owed a replacement (was the original missing?), but that should be taken up with bitmain. I am sure if you asked, they would be happy to cover the cost of  local repair since it would be much better than waiting days or weeks for some wires to make your system work

is any of this info true:

Glad i found this thread - I still have no response from him via PM or email and have moved from worried to pissed. I just want my refund of shipping and chips. The board cost can be eaten up if it did in fact pay for parts.

does anyone know of or have a way to press T13hydra for refund or charges?

PAID
1.722 BTC (21 28 units)
TXID : 84b600362ec11b4abf730450bffb4bd7aac8a66179cea02c287eeb3c6036022c

PM sent with shipping info

Note: For current patent law, we will publish detaild photos and information of our hardware only when the patent application is complete. This takes about four weeks.

YUUUP.

so remind me why you are doing a groupbuy? just preorder a system for yourself. mining hosting is only a headache for everyone involved (particularly the participants who are at the mercy of the hoster's decisions/fees and who receive zero compensation for the physical hardware value when the hoster decides the rig has outlived profitability)

my 2c: buy your own hardware and save hassle. and dont pre-order stuff thats months away

so i cannot do 50/50 paypal/bitcoin payment?  please confirm the total cost and payment address by PM and i have funds ready

the last 2 units i receeived had marked value of $120 IIRC. this results in lower customs fees but may not be accurate to the current BTC exchange rate

you realise that you left the 30% network hashrate pool for the 25% network hashrate pool? It would be much better to move hashrate to pools like slush's or elegius or p2pool

not happening, 2.50 BTC is firm. If Casascius does not say he will return to minting by new year's, the price will become 3.00 BTC

proof that i am the original purchaser direct from Mike is available to anyone interested in an order -  the coins are beautiful and only 700 were made.

please be smart. there are a lot of scams in the forums where companies/individuals claim they have an ASIC or are developing one. The only scrypt asic remotely near reality offers well than 1MH - to claim a 25MH one is close enough to invest your BTC on deposits to pre-order is shady.

there is no proof that:
1) t-alpha is a real company producing a real product (not a 1hr webpage design)
2) IamRichard has any connection to t-alpha, or any sort of "pre-order deposit"


£1,635
30% Deposit Required: £1635.
Total price: £5450. Remainder will need to be paid 8-10 weeks before shipment, which will include shipping cost to your location. so, whenever they ask you for the other 70% of the pre-order money, you are still 3 months from having hardware
Hashrate: >= 25 Mh/s speed
Power consumption: ~ 600w not happening. there is no info to suggest or support that this chip would be remotely capable of 25Mh/s on less than 600W

Ghash.io decided to change the stratum addresses (or more specifically, turn off nl1.ghash.io:3334) overnight. I woke up to angrily beeping antminers as well and it took me a few minutes of antminer rebooti, router reboot, modem reboot, and then looking at the ghash.io frontpage.

for such a massive pool, they have some of the most terrible client support you can imagine. This is not the first time they have [seemingly] arbitrarily changed the ports or addresses to connect stratum users, not to mention at least 30minutes-1hour of downtime every day

good to know! Assuming 2.5W is available through the USB port, I assume these can be clocked to ~1.8GH each? (Assuming that a little extra heatsinking or some fans get involved)

buyer beware then - this just seems like a shady groupbuy for a product noone has heard of, with deposits on pre-orders....

because you did not anticipate shipping fees? c'mon really? anyways, the price even with shippng is quite good, far better than the bitfury USBs that run at 2x the speed and cost almost 4x as much

not connected to the network/pool. the older units click and the newer ones beep. the small led on the hashing modules (not the control module) will flicker when the unit is mining normally
