kqpahv posted some information directly from the folding forums about this a few pages back.

The issue you are seeing with the WU that appear to be stuck at 99.99% is actually a sync issue in the client.  What is actually happening is that your GPU has encountered an issue.  You can confirm this by looking at the log tab inside the FAH Control client for the specific work unit and you will see it actually stopped updating long before 99.99%.  I had no errors in my logs and didn't see any errors in Windows event viewer but the data being sent in the log stopped long before the 99.99%

The problem is almost guaranteed to be an overclocking problem on your graphics cards.  I had to tone my R9 290X TRI-X cards down to standard 290X speeds.  One computer still had hung work units so I slowed the core clock speed down to 990 MHz instead of 1000 and will keep dropping it until the GPU's can handle the work.  Keep in mind these cards were factory over clocked but that made no difference with folding.  The overclocking got in the way and actually slowed down my WU submission.

TLDR:  Lower your GPU clock and memory speeds until the "hung WU" issue no longer happens.  As a reference I'm using a core clock speed of 1000 MHz and memory clock of 1250 on my R9 290X TRI-X cards (much lower than the factory defaults).  Even at these speeds I still had to reduce the core clock speed on two of these cards down more to 990 MHz and will continue to lower them 10 MHz at a time until the work units get submitted without incident.

Thanks for the reply and info! I will take your adivce, One more odd thing,when I tried the pause and restart suggestion,when the client had stopped everything the progress on the WU in question dropped back to 58%,restart and it jumped fright back to 99.99%

Hi,

I have one GPU with it's WU stuck @ 99.99% for several hours now. I paused the other GPU for 30min and no change. i seen this problem from another user but he didn't get an answer. Should I select that GPU and use the "Finish" option,reboot the PC? Project is 13001

I am  trying to understand why BA are still doing procurement of non ASiC related components (cases, LCD etc) several months after the promised ship date of Feb 24 th.  Can someone enlighten me, did I miss something important?

It all started with the "Pin-out" of the Minion,they couldn't finish the design of the PCB and other componants until they new the size/location/number of the little pins on the bottom of the Minion,they wouldn't know this until they got the first test waffer from Global,not haveing the PCBs and other shit finalized held up everything else. They did get the LCDs but the were crap so they send them back and started over.Fit problems also heled things up a bit.

This may have been answered before and I apologize if so.  Can I order the X3 compensation PSU from Minersource even if my original order is placed with Blackarrow?   


Yes Minersource sells the exact same PSUs and if you want to pay with PayPal go here http://holybitcoin.com/ they work with Minersource

I just got confirmation.

ALL psus will be shipped separately, be it for normal X1/X3 or compensation, in order to reduce issues with weight related shipping (heavy PSU in one corner un balancing the box) and customs (not having to rip the miners open to check for compliance on the PSU).

Hope this makes it clear.
[/quote]

does the $70 shipping charge for the comp X-3 PSU @ BA include the comp unit as well or are we looking at yet another shipping charge for it as well? if not then it may be cheaper to just buy the PSU from you?

When you say shipped separately are they going to ship in completly separate boxes of just packaged separatly but shipped in the same box so customs would only need to open the PSU box if needed? Otherwise we could wind up get miners one day and sitting around waiting for PSUs to clear customs or get lost!

Here s 2 unanswered questions from ecointalk

4/ If I buy a PSU from the BA store the shipping is $70,does this assume that the PSU will be installed in the comp unit,so in effect it is combined shipping for both PSU&comp unit? If not then this would seem excessive as I only paid $67 for an entire X-3.

 

5/ I opted for the 5 day free hosting,if I buy a PSU now will BA install the PSU into the comp unit and host it as well for 5 days? Then ship everything together?

I know it screws up everyone's weekend plans that their miner wasn't going to arrive yet from China and a few of you may go bankrupt in the meantime, but everyone else should just pool together the last of your food that you have left and try to weather the storm on these last few days before the bank comes to take the house.

Im getting so confused about all this now. I just spoke to minersource and the suggested that I pick up one more x-1. That would make my order of 3 an even 4 so that I would receive 6 units total. Bringing my grand total to $1540 for 600gh/s (3 units at $373 and one more at the new batch 1 price of $421) This is exactly the problem that has been discussed here, that seems unfair that any customer would have to spend another $421 (or ~0.9457BTC) to be fully compensated. If I had only ordered 1 unit I would have been comped another unit but since I ordered 3 they round down? I would also like to say that I in no way blame Matt at minersource for this and that I am more looking for some clarification from BA about this situation. It seems crazy that anyone have to spend what I am assuming is going to be close to an extra $500 to be compensated when a week ago I was getting a package that didnt cost me an additional dime.


The way I read the offer is; Those that only have 1 X1 on order will NOT get any comp until they order at least 1 more X-1. They should receive a 25% discount on this next X-1 as there original order was placed before May/5/14.

Anyone that has ordered odd numbers of X-1s needs to even up if they want more free ones.

All these orders would get the 25% discount up to 10x the hash rate of your original order,discount would not apply to PSU for the free units.

"Customers who have not purchased an even numbers of X1s, will also receive a free X1 miner on their next purchase of a X1 miner."

"All customers who have placed pre-orders until 05/05/2014 will be offered 25% discount on all future orders of miners based on Minion (limit: up to 10 times the hashing power of their previous orders) "

bobsag3 would you mind answering a few question's ? You have been to London and have met with Blackarrow........


Yes he has gone there and will again when the units are ready to ship,he took photos of what he could at the time, go back to around page 40 of the topic and work your up you will find the discussion at the time.ecointalk has lots of photos in the gallery and is bit easier to read through. Don't worry about all negative shit you see posted here by the 4-5 trolls,they get their jollies by highjacking forum topics with one hand,tug'n their funny bone with the other.One in particular would likely abuse himself to death he erver lost is internet for more than an hour.

Hey Folks,

In an attempt to bring us back on track...

So,  what exactly needs to be done, if tapeout ends next friday,  and they need to get their miners shipped by May 1st? Can it all be done in 69 days?


"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In electronics design, tape-out or tapeout is the final result of the design cycle for integrated circuits or printed circuit boards, the point at which the artwork for the photomask of a circuit is sent for manufacture.[1]

Some sources have indicated that the roots of the term can be traced back to the time when paper tape and later magnetic tape reels were loaded with the final electronic files used to create the photomask at the factory.[1] Other sources reference the early days of printed circuit design, when the enlarged (for higher precision) "artwork" for the photomask was manually "taped out" using black line tape and adhesive-backed die cut elements on sheets of PET film. Subsequently the artwork was photographically reduced.[2] A similar process was used for early integrated circuits.[3]

The term tapeout currently is used to describe the creation of the photomask itself from the final approved electronic CAD file. This stage is sometimes referred to as PG, for Pattern Generation. Designers may use this term to refer to the writing of the final file to disk or CD and its subsequent transmission to the foundry; however, in current practice the foundry will perform checks and make modifications to the mask design specific to the manufacturing process before actual tapeout. Optical proximity correction is an example of such an advanced mask modification; it corrects for the wave-like behavior of light when etching the nano scale features of the most modern integrated circuits.[1]

A modern IC has to go through a long and complex design process before it is ready for tape-out. Many of the steps along the way utilize software tools collectively known as electronic design automation (EDA). The design must then go through a series of verification steps collectively known as "signoff" before it can be taped-out. Tape-out is usually a cause for celebration by everyone who worked on the project, followed by trepidation awaiting the first article, the first physical samples of a chip from the manufacturing facility (semiconductor foundry).

The weeks before the tapeout are categorized as 'sleepless nights' in the parlance of IC Designers.

First tapeout is rarely the end of work for the design team. Most chips will go through a set of spins in which fixes are implemented after testing the first article. Many different factors can cause a spin, including:

    The taped-out design fails final checks at the foundry due to problems manufacturing the design itself.
    The design is successfully fabricated, but the first article fails functionality tests."

2: Go here and watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvluuAIiA50 This is the single most time consuming step left.

3; The little chips are sent to a company that will "package" them into a working ASIC "Minion" that you see represented on the BA web site.

4: While this is all happening BA is finishing the PCB boards these chips will be mounted on and final case design. Everything else is done.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIsUJo-sGwEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9ybLGF1AkYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjs9KjAaRew

5: the rest is just simple assembly.

Is there enough time? Nobody can really say for sure but if everything goes well they should be able, but refer back to the "Tape out"  this is still the biggest area of concern at this time.

This to the best of my knowledge and may have left something out.

Which miner can you order today and have delivered next week?

thanks for getting rid of that clown phin.


now, WHAT IS THE STATUS OF TAPEOUT? WHAT HAPPENED TO A WEEKLY UPDATE?

Tapeout is on 20 Feb 2014.

Weekly update will be on Wednesday / Thursday when our new "press officer" arrives here.



So this would be another delay of 1 week? You said tapeout would be this week 10-15/Feb?

Can someone from BlackArrow just delete the last 20 pages or so?
It's a pity when morons turn a thread about a product into a thread that's a piece of crap that isn't worth reading.

+ 1 but until that happens just click on the "ignore" link,let the stupid cunt talk to himself and shortens the thread

here's the other part of that KNC plan B that was left out, it's just an idea, nothing real at this point.

They are clarifying stuff over on the forum now.

http://forum.kncminer.com/forum/resellers-affilicates/general-questions/29377-plan-b

"Hi guys,

Plan B is literally just the back-up plan to plan A, so right now we are on track with the current plans. We will have some more information regarding plan B if/when this pathway is due to be executed.

If plan B does occur, you will be able to convert over to a hosted hashing package, but again, the fine details of this have not yet been determined at this early stage.

We will have some further updates for you soon."

I won't hold your breath looking for any kind of similar comp from BA,they have already said the amount of BitFurys the have on hand would amount to 1 Gh each,pointless.

Have they said they've taped out yet?  I know it was delayed and it was supposed to be this week.  Has it happened?



Tapeout is due between the 10-15 of Feb,Verisilicon returns to work on the 10th, will do final checks and tapeout

HI Thomas

We would like to assure you.this delays are only forProspero X-1 and Prospero X-3 product. this doesnt affect your "Rent-Some-Minions - 4 months (starts in March 2014) order.Thank you for understanding.We appreciate your business with us.


Sincerely
The Black Arrow Team

Not holding my breath, but that would be cool..


Where was that quote from? sounds like a Bullshit troll post trying to stir up the pot. You can't rent what doesn't exist.

Yeah, that looks about right. Underwater 3.5K per X-3 -- only thing we can hope is price of BTC doubles. Yet BlackArrow Matt thinks they're going to have a successful launch. I can't see how they reconcile that. I also just don't buy that he was unaware of things. How big a company is  BA? How little can he be aware of? Maybe if he was a random community member brought in to rep them here, sure. But if he's an employee then he bloody well knew what was going on.

I'm sure B.A.Matt and and other official reps are subject to an employe N.D.A. of some sort and lets not forget that a lot of the info we want would come from VeriSilicon which may not be as forthcoming as we would like.

I think our compensation should be "cloud hash" equal to 100% of our ordered hashpower, to begin when our miners were originally scheduled to ship, and ending when the miners actually ship.

or at the very least give us our 25% NOW  while we can make some use of it
