Sorry for your delays MW.  Hope you get status on your large order soon.

That said it's why I elected to go through OgNasty for his escrow service. He placed the order on my behalf, provided tracking # to me, and withheld funds from Bit-tech until he confirmed that I'd receive the miner.  Just my 2 cents on that.

Unrelated to this, I was able to get the miner to be consistently at 900 GH/s using Finlof's tweak guide.  Played around with the frequencies until I settled on "925" for each of the 4 asics. I'll continue to tweak until I get to 950 GH/s.

 

Well the weekends almost over, I guess the dude's given up on this scheme.

OP, first Vaginal tightening cream then tiny pictures of unflattering asses... at least give the suckers something that'd make us want to part with our BTC.

I dunno maybe a cam show(no solo dude's though). Solo, b/g, solo with toys.  Or if you're going to post pics they better be good, and not the pancake ass(dude?) with the man hands.

Either way stop wasting our time here trying solicit BTC's with this rubbish.

I thought it was $349?

OP, it's the weekend now.  Are you a (wo)man of your word?  Where's the timestamped pic so we can shut this thread down once and for all?

You're not fucking serious, are you?

5 delays +. No fucking hate, just pointing out the obvious.

Figured out all the technical quibbles(downloading the right image, re-imaging SD card, Advanced Ip scanner, setting pool info etc), now for the showoff:


Well packed, like a mummy's tomb.  Yellow tape everywhere!



Dusty fans!  Either extensive "burn in tests" or....



No display.  Black bare bones case, tons of screws everywhere.  White label says "0.204", but that was incorrect IP.



All internal!  Generic PSU, no brand name markings anywhere.  My guess 1100W or so.



Close up of the controller board and Raspberry Pi with 8 GB SD card which I had to re-image with Dragon image




All in all, it's hashing away at it's proposed rate on the Dragon interface:


Gotta tweak it though, tons of errors and can't quite get it up to the 950-1000 GH/s at the pool side probably because of all the errors.  High 800's so far, but that's before changing any frequency settings.

I'll look over Finlof's tweak guide suggestions to lower frequency through SSH this weekend perhaps.

For $1500 it's a decent buy.  Probably used a little bit, but I don't plan to run this thing forever.

$1750 is probably little much for this miner, but at the same time still cheaper than the Dragons and S2's.

Can't say anything bad about Bit-tech, they delivered within 4-6 business days, so I left them positive feedback escrowed through OgNasty.

Hope this helps anyone thinking about buying this miner.

I said it's boring, I didn't say I want to lose my stash!   

No, but we all smell BS a mile away.

Need hard proof to sway the crowd.

It can't, only post count can go up fast.  Activity is fixed.  You can post 1 time or 10000 times, Activity will always only increase by 14.

If this was Japan, they'd harikari themselves if they'd miss the February deadline.

Sad news with the S1's passing.   

Will their be a new hope with the S3, Bitmain?  Give us a teaser!   

I did mention ghetto for the BE backplane didn't I.  

Shit, steal someone from the Bitmain team.  10 Rpi's is the sorriest engineering excuse in existence.  Take a page out of the S2 playbook for chrissake:



It's just embarrassing if they're actually trying, and not long conning us.

And just like that.  The end of an asic era. 

Antminer S1, end of life is official from Bitmain's mouth.

You've done kiddo.  My first and only miner that ROI'ed for me.

R.I.P.   

How do you mess up something as trivial as an LCD screen?  

They couldn't hire someone from one of the trillion Coincraft A1 teams to do it for them?  

Friggin' Lightning Asic or Dragon has them.  Bitmain not A1, but they have them on the S2.

Then you have to jerry rig the X-3's with 10 RaspPi's just to get it to work?  How hard is it to get a backplane working?  I still remember the Asicminer Block Erupter Backplane.  Shittiest, ghetto-ist backplane in existence, but you plug in 10 BE blades in the backplane, and you get 100 GH/s no problem.  Crappy as hell, but just works.  And not one phone call was made to Friedcat for even a clue....

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.  Maybe both.

It's either the most elaborate scam teasing release "next week" for the last month since April end, or a tale of not gross but disgusting incompetence.

I gotta applaud this unit.  They're coming close to BFL territory.  Cheers in order!  

Will minersource get the R-Box 1.2 TH/s(2 x 600 GH/s miners) when it's available also?

Supposedly it's 2 BTC right now in China.

This is exactly how I feel about this.

December is roughly half a year from now.  Most Mining equipment become obsolete in 3 months or less.

Having money tied up for 6 months or more for something that may or may not come to market, isn't a risk customers are willing to absorb anymore.  Too many BFLs, Hashfasts, VMCs, KNC's, Black Arrow's have all of us with shit taste in our mouths.

Great post Zeta!  You really sold us on MAT.  Thank God you posted a pic of the internals and a CGminer reading....oh, you didn't?

Useless.

Yes, it appears Updown is going month to month now starting June 5 - July 5.

So there's no weekly cap, just a monthly cap at 600 if I understand the OP.

That's fine for me.  I think I barely cracked 500 last month with Ritz and I really tried.

So these don't come with power supplies and are 2 600 GH/s boxes for 720 Watts or 1440 Watts altogether.

Really like 2.2 or 2.3 BTC or more with single PSU's or 2 PSU's.  Asicminer really blew chunks this generation efficiency wise.
