From this point forward AMT will not be discussing any company issues, giving any company updates, or providing any support on this forum. AMT recognizes some forum members have tried to and will continue to try to speak on behalf of AMT and we urge customers to simply not listen. We will be launching a support forum via our website which can be found at http://advancedminers.com/forums Our goal is to deliver miners to existing customers and get to the point where we issue full refunds to our clients despite receiving a miner or not. Any opinionated comments from any past clients or non-clientele, allegations, conspiracy theories, rumors, "investigative reports" are most likely fabricated exploits designed to defer new clients from purchasing from AMT. As there are several from this forum ,please realize these individuals do not and never have spoken on our behalf. We simply don't find this forum to be a valuable tool for helping and supporting our current customer base and due to all the antisemitic, prejudice and racist allegations that are constantly made about our company and our staff, it is no longer a pleasant environment to be apart of. Our true clients that need support understand what we're talking about and we're happy to support them via our thread which we will populate with helpful tutorials and information everyday going forward. Other clients that need immediate technical support can contact sales@advancedminers.com and you'll receive a reply within 24 hours. We can only hope that our true clients and supporters will see passed the layers of crap to come going forward. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. |

Sorry guys, All of these concerns, comments and questions will have to wait until we get back. AMT is on vacation from this forum this week and isn't checking in so much. Any immediate concerns should be taken care of within 24 hours if you write to Sales@Advancedminers.com Also remember to check out our new A1 and BE200 miners at Advancedminers.com , new orders for our 1.1th BEAM2U pay only $899! Again thanks so much for your support. |

Dear AMT
I would like to formally request you post the source code to your cgminer modifications that you are distributing in binary only form which you are obliged to provide by law according to the license conditions of cgminer that you implicitly agreed upon by using it for your device.
Thanks.
We'll see if we can get it, but it was created for us. Chinese don't like to give our binaries. We'll do what we can. Thanks. Be aware that lack of compliance will lead to a DMCA takedown notice being sent to multiple authorities as other manufacturers are facing which will make online presence impossible outside of China. +1 & bumping  With regards to this: We'll see if we can get it, but it was created for us......
Actually, cgminer was created for everyone under the terms that whoever uses/modifies it makes their source available to everyone.....as the GPLv3 license terms clearly state. We fully intend to do so of course, and will comply with GPLv3 terms. But lets make sure it's the right copy. The last three uploads are still giving a few clients some troubles and we're trying to figure out why. |

I still can't get into the miner. There was nothing written on the card
Log into your router and make sure your routers IP is not 192.168.1.100 , if it is, change it to something else and then use that IP address to access the WebUI of the miner. Putting together a tutorial today. |

Check the SD card as well. There is a number written on it. I am catching up on the days messages as I have been away from my PC all day today.
A bit of a heads up - mine didn't have a number written on the case or the SD card which leads me to believe that I got someone else's miner after they RMAed it. Seriously.. It came from hong kong man. Not all of them have a number on it. Default of the miner is 192.168.1.100 If your unsure of the address of the ip and your not great with linux. Download Advanced-ip-scanner. plug the lan cable from your miner into your computer an disable all other connections. Then run the app and you'll see the IP of the pi. Do you actually read these threads or just reply to random ones without any context? I know the IP of my pi - that's not the issue. Now please respond to a previous request for the original image that actually works instead of the one that your team gave me a few hours ago or the one that came with the miner. The one that came with your miner should work fine. The new image should also work. Other people have downloaded the last image and have had success. The images are the same. Then what does this mean?

The last few pages of this thread explicitly state to revert back to the original image in order to fix it. In fact, it appears that someone on your staff recommended that I revert to the original image (which also has the same issue/error message displayed above). Please explain what that error message means so I can triage the issue. Ok, Follow these instructions very carefully. 1. unscrew the miner's case. 2. remove one of the modules by unscrewing the 6 screws on the other side of the miner. 3. Take the module and lay it flat on the desk. PCP and chips facing up, heatsink fins on the desk. Carefully unscrew the top heatsink from the module and place it next to module so that the A1 chips are exposed. 4. Try and get an a few HD images of this. From a birds eye view, capturing the whole PCB in the picture, take a few pictures and and post them here. 5. Let's rule out several possibilities this way. Thanks. |

[2014-08-23 03:37:38] No any A1 board
NO ANY A1 BOARD???, i don't know what to do next. if anyone has figure this one out, please share your wisdom.
I'll keep trying but i'm currently stuck here, will try to help my brother to see if we have any luck there.
I'll keep you updated if i'm in fact able to figure out. HELP is appreciated!
Same issue here bud. :-/ I got it to work!!! I reverted back to to original image (not the one from dropbox but the one that came with it, which i have no root access to) And i changed ip,subnet,gw and dns to be opendns 208.67.222.222. Setup pool, and it works!!! Hashing #### Stats coming up.... Update: Hashing @1.2THS as promised (only 5 months later). if lucky i'l make 1.5BTC (not counting power cost). Boy, BTC needs to reach $4000 for me to make my USD back. Nevermind that i could have used the money and buy BTC and wait until it gets to $4000. Thanks AMT. Notice what Jorge did. |

We working on that and should have something up tomorrow. But the long and the short is download win32 disk imager. and SD formatter 4.
To be safe, better use a new SD card. If you don't have one use SD Formatter 4 to format the SD card.
Then put the SD card into your computer.
Then extract the image from the archive you download and select it via the win32 application. Then click "write" and it will write the image to the SD card.
Then put the SD card back in the pi.
Then go to 192.168.1.100 (the default ip address) and you should be good to go.
SSH via
user: admin
pass: stone201405
Thank you! No problem. Sadly this didn't help and I'm getting the same error. Please note that the login/password for the linked image is: root/admin. Do you have another image available? What error are you getting? |

AMT should provide the right image, it's risky for me to try to extract and provide it - you could blame me for giving you a bad image or problems down the line.
I tried the updated image that was posted on dropbox on another usb flash card and I got the same problem you're seeing, going back to using original image, I didn't experience this issue, so just passing on my personal experience.
Thank you for the reply! So it seems that I have the newest image (which doesn't work). I understand your concern about providing me an extracted image - maybe someone else has one handy that they know works :-) There you go, try that image. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4fhw6awwndsilky/amt_a1_0824v01.img.bz2?dl=0Thank you!!! Can you direct me to the instructions on how to install this image? Take care. We working on that and should have something up tomorrow.

Ok this is crazy. How the hell do I even get into the web UI?
Go to the IP address in the browser which is posted on the side of the miner. |

These are IDENTICAL to the AMT miners. Likely a reseller. See the review https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=752116.0They are undercutting AMT by 100 bucks is all. So I imagine results will be the same. Still working on hashing results but other people are posting up in the AMT official threads. Actually that could be a different miner. Inno recently developed a 10-12 chip board, and 16 chip board as well, these are the modules in the massive 2TH's miners that we've seen floating around. The cost of the components are more expensive and they haven't been selling well because the board (with 12 chips) is not that stable. With 10 chips that board works fine or the 16 chip board is ok, but it doesn't decrease the power consumption as they are suggesting. If you look at the 2TH miner, you'll see they are using two 1000W psu's each barely powering 4 x 16 chip modules. The screw placements make us think they are using the 12 (populated with 10) chip board. Or the 8 chip module we use. If 12 populated with 10, that would be 50 chips, at 28ghs (nominal speed .09 w/gh) chips making 1,400ghs. The problem here is unless they are under clocking (20-23GHS at .07 with hardware errors) they still wont be able to run it with a 1100watt psu, like most do for 4 module miners (1Th). 5 Modules of 8 chips nominal requires 1200W at a minimum. So either its a miner similar to ours and its 1,250GHS with a 1100 PSU (not being able to power the 5th module) or its the concept above with a stronger psu lying about the exact consumption. But either way something doesn't add up. Anyway, if you guys want this miner, we can have it shipped out to you in 2 days. Accept it would either our be our 1,250ghs or a 1,400 ghs both with either a 1200-1300w PSU consuming .02 watts per ghs/more than they have suggested. .09 w per ghs. And we'll sell it for $50 less. It doesn't leave much of a margin at all, but we're more interested rep rather than reward at this point. $1200 for our 1,250ghs miner which is being review in the next thread. |

A also received a miner with no PSU, there were also wires unplugged. I don't want to open the case and start messing around with it, what if taking the cards out doesn't work, what if a connector breaks? I am not shipping this thing for support to Europe or China. There is no way you can say I received a miner, because I didn't. I received an incomplete kit of parts. From what it looks like, there is not enough room to fit a PSU, this miner is also defective and the defect is probably the reason why they did not send a PSU, because it wouldn't fit in the miner!
This will not fit with my PSU, can't get the plug in for the miner to rest in the spot the've provided for it. There isn't a reason I shouldn't have received a fully assembled miner. It's what I paid for I thought. You need to plug in the 8pin EPS cable prior to installing the PSU. After its plugged in, drop in the PSU towards the fans and then Carefully while putting a bit of pressure on the 8pin connector (pulling upwards) gently slide the psu forward. Don't just shove it in there, ease it in, bit by bit. That's how we install the psu's, otherwise yes it is very difficult once the PSU is already installed. If your successful the connector is actually leaning against the PSU. |

Holy shit, opie finally got a miner!!
Not trolling, but funny. Even in sending you a miner, they managed to ship you garbage.
I order stuff from china constantly. Big shipments, all the time. I've NEVER received scrap metal in the boxes. Looks like it was put there to give the person receiving it tetanus, like one final fuck you....
Wanna know whats funnier? This was not even meant for me. My shipment never went out apparently. In the end AMT routed these to me which were rejected by someone else who happened to be nearby. At any rate in that sense it works out because I got no special treatment in that way. All said those plates in my case were not rusted. Someone else's were tho. I can still make use of them...lemonade out of lemons. Not that it makes anything better, but the other guy didn't even pay,how he made the list, we dont know, but those two were meant for you and that's why the other guy refused them because he didnt know what they were. He was the next zip code over, and that's why it was so close. Shipping screwed that one up but we rectified it, but they were meant for you. There we a few other instances of this as well, it wasn't the only one. Even though they were supposed to be no psu, and a few other people (single packages) ended up getting those instead. |

The new image doesn't work for me same issue as mentioned no A1 cards error in cgminer with verbose ?
On the original image, plugging in a HDMI cable helped me track down the ip address setup by default, it displays it at the end of the boot sequence...just enter in a browser and you'll hit the web home page, check on the setup to change your network and pool settings.
The next problem is I entered my pool details and account, it was displaying stats on the home page, but my pool wasn't showing any results registered against my account? It felt like it was ignoring my settings and mining against the default pool it came with...:-(
Will double check my settings again maybe try another pool and see if there's any difference, having command line login access would be good with this "working" original image, as right now I can't tell what cgminer is actually doing...
Why not just use the user interface. We're in the process of creating a help tutorial, something we should have already done. I was using the web UI, will check setup again, would be easier if I could check logs read-only etc. UPDATE: It's working fine now, I needed to make some config changes, pools didn't like worker results from different ip addresses. UPDATE2: At module freq. 1000 discards are at 10-15%, that's quite high ... going to turn down a little to 950 see if efficiency improves and discards go down. UPDATE3: Running at 1.28TH steady on web console and 1.10Th at GHash.io, makes sense with the discards. UPDATE4: I really can't see much difference in turning down the frequency across the modules to no. of discards the A1 modules generates, it appears they're a little error prone. Interested if anyone has any other experiences? UPDATE5: Temperatures going between 40-48, some of the modules aren't cooling that efficiently the ones on the left appear to be running a little hotter, they are slightly more packed in, there maybe some room for improvement, but overall seems quite good, a little on the warm side to the touch though UPDATE6: Tried running at 700 freq. didn't make much difference to the discard rate, tried 1050 appeared to net the same discards results in terms of overall percentage but the acceptance rate by pool dropped off quite a bit, if you've got the power and good cooling leave it on 1000...all this time I didn't get any rejects which is a good sign User: admin Password to ssh is: stone201405 |

These FANs are LOUD! so i changed for a these antec, the only ones i could find in my local BestBuy. The label say 2000RPM, not the best out there but the noise is down to 25dba. (compared to 60dba on the stock FANs.) The noise has gone down but the temps are going up 60-70, vs 40-50 with the stock fans. Anyone has any recommendation on not too slow but not too noisy FAN?? I understand that the lower the better but does anyone know the acceptable temp range of the Coincraft A1? Do not let the temps go that high. Granted A1 can run at 60+ but its not healthy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168351810402350 RPM 62.74 CFM 35 dBA Focus on the CFM rather than the RPM. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11894/fan-779/BGears_B-Blaster_120mm_x_25mm_2000RPM_High_Speed_Fan.html?tl=g36c435s1104Just look through here. http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l1/g36/Fans.html?mv_pc=1771We still have not gotten a chance to find a more suitable replacement, when we do, we'll ship with it. For the moment these fans were a safe play, there is no chance in hell of overheating and after our last go around we don't want anyone's miner heating up. OUR FORMAL suggestion is if you don't like the noise just turn it off for a two days until you get replacement fans. Do not risk it with improper cooling!! FrozenCPU has overnight shipping. |
