They have contacted me and said they are shipping me a miner. It is bittersweet because I wanted a refund. I will let you know the hash rate, I am expecting 1.2T. They did not offer compensation for the months of lost bitcoins. I will let you all know how it works by doing a short test.
Well, certainly better than any further drawn out delay at least. My current total Ant S1 cost for a little lower than 1.2TH is $4,300 (for reference, my AMT 520 cost $4089) and just under 2x the power usage per-GHs compared to what the A1 systems draw. So still not a bad deal for you - aside from lost revenue. Especially considering I only got off so cheap on the Ants because of their huge price drop over the past few weeks. These last 2 through Amazon were $549ea & free 2 day shipping. When I ordered the 520 in Late Feb Ants were still over $1400ea even direct from China so seemed a no-brainer at the time to order the 520. |

I''ve seen it. It is expensive. But sooo pretty... und stackable as well. |

the ASICS are LC on the Imp's but the PSU they need rarely is. But - they ARE available if you know where to look. Their problem is with the older miners sent out.

I'm just amazed Barbecue Flambe' Liability has not been sued over their literally flaming PSU problems... Is not good when the Majik Smoke is released... Oh-oh... OT! Um, oh yeah, folks make sure that your TH miner PSU(s) has good access to air.
There. Does that do it?

Thanks notfuzzywarm, with so many links on news articles to this forum, they need to do something to stop the bleeding
ja. opieum2 has given AMT a lot of sound advice on PR. Hopefully they will take some of it to heart. Not sure if this will make it past the mods but, as been said before look at BFL: Even worse delays, had (and yes, still has) customers screaming about it and yet once they started communicating and acting on the refund issues - which took a long time and lawsuits/threat of same to do it - that mostly has been turned around reasonably well. If they can do it so can AMT. |

I just want a refund.
And I along with so many others hope that AMT steps up to the plate and gives it to you. I will just be happy eventually getting my miner. To tide me over until then, got 2 more Ant S1's arriving tomorrow making 6 for me Ant Pharm... |

Always love the "not usable in the UK" bit. Most PSU's are auto-range for voltage and if not then have a selector switch, can handle 50Hz just fine and have standard IEC receptacles on them. All they need is the right cord for the plug end or a pin adapter...

We shipped his rig yesterday, we're trying to find his tracking number in the moment.
Here's a free tip. When you create shipping labels, you can enter the recipient's email address. That way the recipient gets a nice tracking email automatically! No need to hunt through thousands of receipts littering the back seat of your Pinto. Since AMT has a corporate account at Fedex, it'll only take less than a minute to retrieve the info from Fedex's site. Same true for UPS, of which I shipped yesterday and already have an account I can visit online to hunt all past and future orders. i did receive my tracking number today as quoted. they "found" my tracking number and e.mailed me it today and shipped miner (diy kit)yesterday Any word on if with or without PSU & wattage? |

thank you amt for shipping my miner and providing tracking number. i will upload pics and vids once its here and set up
EDIT: i know ur all gonna ask so im order #1428
Cool. That for a 520 right? yes thats correct, i opted for the kit and was given 3 boards instead of 2 which they said would run turbo @ 700-750ghs (extra board for delay) Interesting.... So someone's getting some MPP what about people like myself with 1.2 orders? Was waiting for that. Well.... AFAIK the 520ghs and under miners were/are actually from BitMine.ch and resold by AMT as opposed to the 1.2's being AMT's own handiwork. IF that is the case then us with smaller miners are now getting what BMch has replaced the 520's with (or AMT's own version of it). Since is now 200ghs/blade and that don't divide evenly into 520... |

and as for
" Resale Prohibited. Unless expressly authorized in writing by AMT, you shall not resell Product(s). If you breach the terms of this paragraph, in addition to AMT’s cancellation rights, you agree to fully indemnify AMT, its officers, employees and distributors from any and all resulting liability, including attorneys’ fees and costs."
THAT is an impossible thing to even try to enforce. The machines are not rented or leased. There is no proprietary software in them (Autodesk case comes to mind) and no license to use said software issued. They are based on cgminer and linux both of which are open source.
Once delivered they are ours to with as we please.

AMT,
I saw your message about the backplanes. I hope to get them sometime this week in the mail. I appreciate you shipping me those, and I look forward to getting my operation back online.
Side note: What are those backplanes proper name? Nothing against your design, but due to my curious nature, I like to screw with things sometimes, and a hot swap wouldn't hurt to have.
I was googling for them and couldn't find those backplanes.
~Casey
From what little I've seen of them, backplane is the right name. As for hot-swap... Doubt it will ever happen with miners simply due to the high currents involved and price of the circuits needed to do it right. Hot swap involves turning off the power feeds to the cards when they start to be removed/inserted, usually using hard switched FET's. Same applies to hot swap PSU's. |

they care about updates and status on whats happening.
Good idea. Let me make it easy on you. Fill in the blank: AMT has finished shipping all orders up to #_____. We're waiting on power supplies as we've previously stated. Today we shipped out 18 kits/rigs, a few which are on this forum as well. Cool. Now about folks like me patiently waiting who ordered the 520's... Since they do not fit with the 200ghs/blade idea, and from what I remember BitMine.ch selling - the EXACT same machine, what will we be getting??? BM.ch's replacement for that model? Also, while I'm pretty far down the line, a PSU should not be a problem for that even though I too opted for a kit... |

@ISAWHIM Did you and AMT ever come to an arrangement to have you go and help? Inquiring minds want to know.  Good, can you please help put my miner together, with care of course  Ditto!  ISAWHIM: Without giving out NDA info, do you know if the A1 chip has a metalized shield layer(s) between the cores and/or the memory/SPI layers to reduce capacitive/inductive coupled EMI? I came across info that 'the other folks' have done that with spin-1 wafers that were held in reserve before stacking and that is why the butterfly's shall soon be free  The A1 chip info on BMch's Github makes no mention of it. https://github.com/bitmine-ch/bitmine/blob/63d22dad5359539a1aa117d4882e71736102581e/Specs/CoinCraft%20A1.pdf?raw=true |

The current rate I am at...I am thinking about selling my miners.
I cannot get these backplanes to function right. It may be my power, but before this board issue, I tested all the boards and they function correctly.
It may have been my fault, but if you are good with soldering: All the module boards work fine, you would just have to solder the backplane boards.
They seem to be burning out in the same spot. Maybe cold solder joints?
If you are interested in my x2 1.2TH/s miners, PM me. I will sell in HAND for 25-27 BTC to the highest bidder.. I'll even pay for shipping.
At this point, its just easier to cover my losses, and play the market for BTC.
~Casey
Def. agree with what was said about trying to get the new rev boards. On the burnt joints: do the boards have more than 2 layers? I'm thinking crappy plated vias (now possibly even worse from frying) connecting the internal layers coupled with the ROHS mandated Pb-free solder making for bad connections. |

"and still show on amt record as on hold despite numerous <snip>"
That ain't it - they just do not update the account pages. Period. Mine has been "On Hold' since the night I made the order despite them getting my check and it being deposited 4 days later.

Hmm, not sure how I got here.. I *was* on the Official AMT Thread... Do appreciate the need for an order thread though.
