Yep and anytime you want them back feel free to pick them up. Considering your history on accepting returns not even going to try. If your thinking that constitutes formal acknowledgement of contract - it doesn't.

We've always liked you Rich, but if that were a true skype chat wouldn't you be in breach of your NDA? And no one cares about 200 pages of a bullshit skype chat where you and tony are doing most of the talking. Really, who cares? All of the 156 clients that we have? The micro community that's left on this forum? Again Rich, with respect please do stay out of these distractions or arguments. Ja is there no relief for the son of a window? You mean the NDA that you never signed? Takes more than one party to make an agreement bucko. Yes it 100% true and no I am not in violation. That aside, the real IP points are all in the pm chats which even though am NOT legally bound to keep sealed (remember? You never signed anything?) I still am. Professionalism and all that ya know? Scratch that - you wouldn't. It was signed by us and exists in our attorney's records. And while we need to work on professionalism, that is for sure, we still do respect you Rich, and we felt above all people you'd understand our actions as of lately. See Rich you've inspired greatness. [/quote] Strange, the original copy I have from you has no signature from you or your representative(s). Nor did you return to me a signed copy of the amended NDA I prepared which is the one that bears my signature. Without formal acknowledgement of the amendment it remains unenforceable by either party. |

Posted to remind Joshua Zipkin of Reality Dear AMT fans and foes,
We realize that some of our clients who have received their machines are feeling a bit hostile. We want to assure everyone that we are putting together a compensation program that will go live on December 15th, 2014 or sooner. We'll do our best to compensate clients their full loss. Some clients have already been refunded, and we're doing the best we can every week.
Regarding the class action, we are in discovery processes. This is where plaintiffs counsel reviews all of our information, write a response and gives it to the judge to review.
Regarding FBI claims and the PA Attorney General, we have been in contact with them and we are going to work with them very closely now. And we're excited about that.
Regarding these skype chats that they are throwing around this forum, we'll still stand to say they are complete bullshit manifested by Tony Serrata (aka Opieum2). And honestly, we couldn't give a crap about them.
WHY does Tony Serrata keep posting negative things about us on a daily basis? Because he thinks we sell more than him. He's afraid of us.
And regarding our sales, as we've said it before we're not selling although we would like to. And the truth is we haven't sold since April 7th, 2014.
Why are we so being open, because even though we're trying to do the right thing the to the customers that want us to make them whole, are the same ones stopping up from bringing in new revenue in order to do that.
We will lay out our 3 month compensation and business plan shortly.
Oh Josh.. you seem to have forgotten just who made that chat room - ME. EVERYTHING POSTED THERE IS 100% ACCURATE. For those who need a refresher course in reality, here you go: https://sites.google.com/site/hpulhp/home/files/AMT-NDA%20Room%20chats%20to%20date%20names%20REDACTED%20.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1 |

While I am not a lawyer, I do believe that once counsel is retained then yes, they too can be complicit in any continuing illegal activities their client does after they are hired ]IF THEY ARE AWARE OF IT[ and give provable aid in said activities as in the link you gave. |

Is this an SSH one or firmware? I'm guessing ssh into the S4 and replace this file, but I'll let you tell me for sure. Thanks. Binary for installation via ssh only. I don't do firmware. And a damn fine job you did with this for the s4! Both units now humming along perfectly on EMC pool  Sent ya 0.1 btc remuneration  |

;d Thank you so much for the time you've invested to make the S4 more funtional, ckolivas. I'm going to send you a donation tomorrow morning.
I'd like to try ck's new version tomorrow, but I have no idea how to go about updating cgminer. Can anyone shed some light, or point me towards a guide?
Assuming your S4's IP address was say 192.168.1.99: ssh -l root 192.168.1.99 (or equivalent with putty)
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s4/4.6.1-141018/cgminer
mv /usr/bin/cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer.bak
chmod +x cgminer
mv cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart
I think that might not keep across a power cycle though. Installed your new binary last night on the S4 I have at home and now works great on EMC pool Prior to the update was averaging 1.66ths there with swing from 1.4 up to ocassionally 1.94ths with worker dif wildly swinging between 1.2k to 1.86k. Now diff bangs around between 1.46k and 1.87k and on EMC it's averaging 1.95-2.0THs, swing is from 1.7ish up to occasionally 2.3THs. Damn fine work with the Voodoo that you do so well  Now to see if it works on my other s4 that is at work. Made a backup of the working s4 and will apply it to the other one. That one never gets over 25ghs on EMC so is currently pointed at CKpool where its works perfect. |

Did you see the video I posted? http://youtu.be/uiZPOZcI20oThis wasn't a burnt smell only. visible smoke billowing and this was after it had calmed down a bit. Not to lessen the severity of this issue but that is normal for power electronics. The volume released can be rather impressive. Once released the Majik Smoke (and smell) from popped caps and/or burnt circuit boards lingers for quite a while. The smell in the rack case will last days... Point is any actual fire is wholly contained within the psu case and miner case. Once the power is cut from circuits burning open/circuit breakers opening any actual fire ceases leaving only lingering memories. |

^^ I'd guess that they paid for their sponsorship earlier in the year like they did the Las Vegas show.
Wonder if they will show up?
And on the BITMAIN s4's - In BITMAIN's response to the matter, aside from their perfect handling of the PSU issue, ya gotta love their answer to concerns on any possible fire: "at high temperatures may result in some smoke from the PCB and thermal pad, it will not start a fire. All internal components of the PSU meet the requirements of the UL94-V0 flame retardancy standard, which certifies that any ignition will self-extinguish within a maximum of 10 seconds."
Very safe bet that AMT cannot make any such assurances.

and don't need to format... The image is just that - an image of the entire logical structure of the storage media formatting and all. When you burn the image to a device that's all you need to do. It's ready to go.

Well, bitmain is a very honest company and they give ssh access.
Ja. that is why Opeium and I were baffled about the weird connections popping up when looking at the network realtime graphs. It was Opie that finally recognized one of the addresses as a ntp time server. Weird thing is it didn't show up on the rt graphs on my s1's. then again I recall Bitmain was having troubles with ntp back then and may have disabled the function. When I recently updated the s1 software it now showed traffic when ntp was on.. |
|
|
|
|
Smething that traffic may have been is communications to ntp.org time servers. When I got my first Ant s3's I saw a LOT of weird ip addresses being talked to - including one owned by Bitmain.
Turns out they were time servers being polled every 5 min.
I disabled using a time server in the Ant configs and traffic stopped.

ja, it is. And is why we need to be able have full root access to these miners. If they are hard coded to ping an address it would be in the configs for the CPU used. In the Canadian case it was only kept in temp storage as the cable ISP's routers took care of re-injecting when needed.

The way it works is the miner is a worker in the pool handling some of the processing duty to mine a block in the pool. The pool in effect would be like a giant worker directly pointed at the bitcoin network decrypting blocks. Each worker within that pool is identified and gets a share of the solved block. I think that is more or less the simplest explanation I can come up with.
That is the intended overall effect, OK; but I was asking about a technical implementation detail, to see whether a manufacturer can steal hashpower from a pool member. AFAIK, the mining software periodically gathers a batch of unprocessed transactions into a candidate block, that includes a coinbase transaction directing the eventual reward to the pool's input address. Then the mining software sets one or more machines to work on that candidate block. The work consists in making a series of attempts. In each attempt, the nonce field in the block header is replaced by a different value, and the SHA-squared hash of the header is recomputed. If the hash value is below the network difficulty threshold, the attempt was successful and the block is broadcast to the bitcoin network, which credits the reward to the pool. Otherwise, if the hash is below the pool's difficulty threshold, the block and the hash value are sent to the pool, as proof of effort. Otherwise the attempt has no effect. Correct so far? Now consider whether this attack by malicious mining software could be viable: in one attempt out of every six (or in one candidate block out of every six) the software replaces the coinbase output address by the thief's address. As before, if an attempt yields a hash below the network threshold, the block is broadcast to the bitcoin network. Otherwise, if the hash is below the pool's threshold and the coinbase address is pointing at the pool, then block+hash are sent to the pool as proof of effort. Otherwise, the attempt has no effect. If this attack could be set up, then the data seen by the pool would be consistent with the miner having only 5/6 of the hash power that he really has. Of every 6 successfully mined blocks, 5 would be credited to the pool, and 1 to the thief; but the pool will not notice the latter. If the miner is monitoring his performance exclusively through the pool's site, he will not notice the stolen blocks either -- only a loss of 1/6 of the hashpower. Does this make sense? Earlier this year a disgruntled IT worker at a cable company in Canada did something rather like that. The weak points was using Stratum (I don't) and his access to routers at the company. Normal share divisions is timed by the pools servers. In round-robin they periodically poll the miners to see if data is needed or available from them. To some extent I assume the polling is adjusted to a miners performance but still is up to the pool servers to decide. Like any good single purpose tool the miner only does what is needed and only when asked. Stratum makes the miner a bit more of an active party in that it does not wait. Only link I found on a quicky is https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Stratum When needed it pings the block server for actions. In the above case it also pointed out a flaw in Stratum - the ability to actually *run* other code. AFAIK that is fixed btw. Point is, yes the perp injected code into miner data being moved: At the ISP's routers he targeted a couple pool servers for the re-directs and injection. Once the miner got the new code it from time to time changed the wallet addresses mined to... |

im curious... is there even 1 amt miner out in the world that is working?
I have the feeling that after me cleaning it up, changing the fans *and getting a PSU from AMT*, channeling airflow, my miner is one of the best of these running out there... Consistently reports 1 to 1.02ths on the EMC pool with 900ghs or so for dips and the occasional 1.21ths as a not very often spike. Oh, and the 1 working card from the original design testbed is still running a rock-solid 178ghs. A long way from the 250-something ghs it should be but solid. The 2 other functional ones shipped with it died within days. |
