I have some broken a2 12 chip blades, if I send you one and you can fix it could you update your image?
I received a broken A2 8 chip blade to fix my own broken one and I wasn't successful, but mine was pretty burned and I think more things are broken than just the chip. Do you know what is broken on the blade? How many chips, components etc? If you could post photo's that would be awesome. Blade looks fine, but it does not power up using the six pin connectors , not sure what the deal with it is i think the power connector is damaged not the blade physically, it seems pretty clean with no burns on it. btw how did you manage to burn your boards ? they seem to run cool for me even with the 1200 frequency. Another thing i would like to do is run these boards on a PI-2 and run more than six boards on a single controller. I will post pictures of the board end of today so you can see and determine if it will be useful to you.

so bottom line it for us here what did you use that lowered your temps AS5 then ? or MG ?
I have have a large repasting project for my Scrypt Asics , a 10-15 degree reduction in temps would be great for me as well

I had a miner that did that the blinking lights that is. The miner will eventually turn itself off if the ASICs can't intilize Which is what the blinking lights issue is.
First you want flash the sd card with a clean new image, if that fails try a new rasbery pi That's how I fixed one of my boxes, the pi was bad

Scammers basically, I shipped stud and they said they didn't get it one time , they disputed and still lost lowered my feedback.
** edit *** nm my negative feedback was some dude I sold a psu pretty much new in box for $85, I forgot to include the power cable and the loser bitched at me I pretty much got indignat dude got a smoking deal and bitches about a power cord that I have like 50 of that type laying around my house lol.
here is his feedback .. what a dushebag: Forgot the power cord to psu. An told me to buy one.... wow. Never again. Buyer: Member id torenbvs1156 ( Feedback Score Of 53Blue star icon for feedback score in between 50 to 99) During past year Feedback conversation ATX 1 Fan, Rosewill LIGHTNING-800 800W 80 Plus Gold Certified Power Supply (#301278701499)
Check the ratings I've sold alot of stuff
I've only had one bad feedback in the last year , main thing is I never request for feedback after a sale dont have the Time to waste soliciting feedbacks.

Too many bargain hunters out there , plus people are waiting for SFTARDS hardware , they don't understand that since it is best and only new hardware in town it will be even more overpriced than previous generations that had more competitors.

you all say that but right now I dont see any sp20s anywhere even on this forum for less than 500.
please post links of these magical unicorn sp20s selling for $350, heck i'd buy them myself to resell.

This super cool seller was asking 375 for his. Mind you, the bitcoin price was a bit lower at the time, nowadays it would be more around $425. You tend to only see the stupidly priced hardware on this subforum because any hardware that's priced well gets bought within a few days and the thread dies. You know, the SP20E was for sale (brand new) for $500 at christmas, when the difficulty was 20% lower and the btc price was 10% higher. Plus with no next gen miners coming around the corner. $600 is beyond insane. You fail to mention the fact is the supply of new Sp20s coming into the market is.... drumroll 0. They are not made anymore thus their value wont go down until better hardware comes to the market and right now the only other hardware the S5 and S4 are holding their prices as well. From Israel with shipping and Duty even if the sp30 was priced at $500 which I know it was not lower than $690 since that's when I got my sp20E, you were paying closer to $700 per unit.

any idea on how to connect the controller board for an A2 terminator to these PI 2s ? It seems to data connection port is different on the pi2

Um I paid $134 that includes shipping for refurbished IBM 2800 watt platinum psus I'm pretty much locked into those since I bought two jaberwock breakoutboards along With the bunk psus he sold me,
Why would I pay $130 for a refurbished evga anything
I dont want to go back and forth with you if anything I was more anoyed with his response , I definitely know I wont every buy another used psu of this type not only did I lose the $200 I paid for the psus but also the week of downtime The failure cost me.

Well on the first page i found this one going for under 400 if you dont count shipping; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1133997.0There was also someone selling those asic or S5s for even cheaper if bought in pairs. (500$ for a pair) Generally, the actual going price is often half of what it goes for on eBay. At the moment i'm buying at 250$/ea+shipping. I understand if you want to go sell on eBay. It is probably possible to get more, even after their cut. No one will sell you working sp20s for $250 lol gluck with that, $250 or $350 is along way from $500 you sound like a dumpster diver or Garage sale shoper id let the units collect dust rather than basically throwing them away for $350

Why don't you save your comments for a review thread... Let's see 2 died out of how many? With a price point of under $200 for 3000W of power at Platinum ratings I'm afraid you might be aiming for the stars, most of my buyers buy a few extra because they aren't lying to themselves..
I haven't seen a higher percentage of failures with these as compared to my EVGA G2 PSUS I purchased new, yes new power supplies can fail as well, in the end I dropped 4 out of 20 EVGA PSUs in the first year, lost one out of perhaps 15 of these so far (15 I run myself)..
Lol a review ? I was burned on these so honestly I'd be doing the community a disservice If I didn't express my experiences with theses. 1 out of 15 I doubt that I had two go out in less than 3 months, the difference from these with a normal evga psu is at lest you get the 5 or 10 year warranty with this you have zero recouse when not if the fans fail and they go out. I contacted jaberwok when the first one failed his response was of the tough luck ilk, when the second one died I just ate it. I ordered two referbished ones from eBay last week at $135 each I'm not going to sweat it. I'm just saying buyer beware on these used psus

Have a stock pile of these PSUs left kicking around, I will sell singles but prefer to sell 20+ at a time since it starts to make the per unit shipping cost not too bad. Offers considered depending on size of deal and location.. BTC or Paypal is fine... 86 PSUs shipped out so far, more available... Single PSU - $60 + shipping (approximately $10-$25 depending on location) 20+ PSUs $55 each shipping included to lower 48... I also have PSU kits with J4bberwock boards and PCIe cables, I have about 25 kits on hand now, if a quantity buy is desired I will cut a deal similar to the PSU deal for larger orders: 1 - IBM 2880W PSU 1 - J4bberwock breakout board 8 - PCIe cables (let me know if you need more) $150 USD + shipping (east coast of US) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7735%2F18344946985_5080aaa8e4_z_d.jpg&t=663&c=okrEizPtnBcVqQ) I would not recomend this gear , i dont know if its becase of the breakout boards or the psu's being old used POS but i had two PSU's die in a matter for 3 months after purchase. Now i have to resot to buying brand new PSUs from Ebay to replace these doorstops if these ones die too it has to be an issue with the breakout boards. The cables on the other hand are great but i would be cautious when purchasing the Heavily used PSU's and Breakout boards

I dont plan on selling them separately

** updated the sp20s with mining stats and admin page and asic stats *** One of the sp20s has a flakey asic so only hashes at 1.2 sometimes but if you reboot it a few times it gets back up to 1.5 TH. The sp20E is solid at over 1.7 TH with 35 deg cooling, or 1.6 TH with poor cooling. http://www.ebay.com/itm/301697394788?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301697398062?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
I also have an sp30 for sale 4.2 TH box ( also has a flakey asic) With good cooling though the asic will not overheat and the hash rate is stable at 4.3 TH if you have 240V and 35 deg cooling. Otherwise you will see around 3.9 TH at .65 . As you should know the sp30s are super sensitive to temperature the colder you can get them the more hash rate and stability you will see imo they are more suited to a data cen I already have a sale in processes for the sp30 but I would rather sell everything to one buyer with Escrow of course and delivery confirmation All units come in in original boxes , all are super clean and basically in like new condition, i've not run them for a few months more focused in scrypt hardware right now since my electricity rate climbed a few cents this summer. pricing i want $600 for the sp20E , $400 for the sp20 and $2000 for the sp30. buyer pays shipping to US and Canada only

If everything checks out with these, they will decimate A2 sales
They are almost done with the A4 (and A3 for SHA). I believe it will have 1/4 the power requirements of the A2. Even if this was true , their prices would be way too high, the initial A2 was way overpriced , if you have .06 cents power the A2 would still be a better deal assuming you can get a working unit lol.

I have two units that behave differently
-both started out with bad PSU's 1k watt PSUs came with the units even though the Innosilcon claims that the units need 1200Watt+ psu they just happened to shit with defective 1k watt PSUs hmmmm.
To the problems
- the first unit powers up when none of the asics are connected to the PSU. If I connect even a single of the six ASIC boards the unit will not power up. There are lights on the controller board and on the rasbery-pi but the fans don't spin asics don't light up.
-second unit powers up but the asics do not initialize , the LEDs on the asics all flash red , similarly to when normal units first power up .
I have tried single Asics connected , multiple PSU's from 1200Watts to 1k watts to no avail.
Anyone ever experience anything like this ?
I just want to ship the damn units back to be honest but they claim the issues can be resolved would pay LTC/BTC bounty if someone get these up and running otherwise ill just have to pay the shipping price to get these replaced.

Back to the miner itself, can anyone tell me if they see a pcie plug-in anywere on those three boards (pictured on the Sfards site)? Site says :12V DC,6 PCIE Cables of 6 Pin are needed. http://www.sfards.com/pro/minerIt shows the boards pulled out (scroll down), but I don't see the usual white pcie plugs. I'm expecting to see two on each board. Am I missing something? It makes it hard to place an order for any other units currently out there, these seem to be the most effient and also being new would have the highest resale value. 1200 is too high though. We need have someone work with SFARDS to do a huge order 200+ units and get them at around 900 per unit and BRING back home mining for the masses ! (Bring back Voltron lol). I personally would order 10-15 if the price was 900 or so USD

yeah this is it and with the coupon it was 2 for 2279 including shipping. plus they take paypal. these are supposed to be 110mh with 6 blades. http://zoomhash.com/collections/asics/products/110mhs-scrypt-asic-plug-and-play-1000w-a2mega-door-to-door-within-3-5-business-dayslast year I got in over my head with scrypt. I had a house full of blades and LTC tanked. But zoomhash sold working gear and shipped me more then 7k in gear from April to Aug of 2014. I gave the coupon out and someone purchased 2 getting 800 off. so he gets 220mh for 2279 and the gear should show in under a week. while the sfards here is 55mh for 1280 plus shipping and wait 6 weeks if lucky. So if you have low cost power the zoomhash deal is better. your 220mh will be working in 6 days or so. Sfards is pretty much a bust if you can't get them until late august. Zoomhash charges and addition flat rate of 200 for shipping so the units are really closer to $1500 well the coupon was for 400 per unit. so they cost 2279 for 2.. but I think it was a one use coupon up to 4 units. I gave it to a forum member he ordered 2 paid 999 + 999 + 279 = 2277 This deal is gone as far as I know. the units ere never $1399 they were $1499.00 at their lowest.(might have been $1599 actually) I got the coupon too but chose not to use it no way I'm ever paying Zoomhashes shipping tax again. The price would have been : $1099 after coupon and then with shipping $1299 so around $1300 still a good price though. but way higher that the 2277 for two you quote. I've ordered s4's in the past from zoomhash and they do the same thing with the shipping you don't see it till you are about to pay. 1

Careful with some of those supposed 110 Mh/s A2's. Bought one off ebay for a decent price but it is only the 90 Mh/s version ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) You would open a dispute if they sent you a 90. The 110 came later on so I doubt many would try to trick people with a 90. Some of the A2's did slow down some after long use, so might ask of screenshot of it mining before buying. how can you tell the 90MH/s version vs the 10 ? 5 blades vs six ? one thing to remember the supposedly 110 mh/s unit is actually 100mh/s it only runs at 111 in turbo mode and not very effeicentlty at that. Ive clocked it at an extra 240 watts just for the addtionall 11mh/s better to run them normally at 100mh/s for 900-1000watts.
