I ask again since when Black Arrow has delivered thierown asic (Prospero, x1,x3,minion)? Delivered is set to: yes! They delivered as chip integrators only!
Changed to Yes (prev) to represent that. |

Hi Dogie, I admire your work here it is potentially a good resource. But as an investor in the parent company of VMC I am interested as to where you get this information from: 'VMC set B. Demoted to E, refunds are being refused [ignored] and no products on the horizon. Potentially a scam. Promotion to D if refunds begin to be resolved.' I would like to point out that according to the CEO of VMC currently there are two chips in production, one a full-custom 55nm has been taped out and is being fabbed by UMC for bulk reel sale and for miners. These 55nm chips have in the past week been listed for pre-order on the VMC website where full specs have also been stated: http://virtualminingcorp.com/shop1/index.php?id_product=35&controller=productThe other chip in production is a 28nm full-custom and has been given over to a vendor with tape-out expected in 8 weeks. The chip will be used in a PCI card, it will be 'air cooled and use a double slot. The estimate speed of the new card will be 432 GH/s and will be listed at $1499.00.'. I could understand you saying that VMC product has been delayed but to say there is 'none on the horizon' seems factually incorrect to me. As to the refunds being ignored I have no information on that, can you say how many people have reported that to you and out of that number how many have shown you evidence of their order? I only ask because the company is plagued by Trolls some of who have previously lied about having orders, having machines, having refunds refused etc. Regards, minerpart Moved to PM |

Run it at "Low" speed. If that works, and you get failures at "High" speed, then you need to crank up the voltage.
I have two Blades, one is perfectly stable at 1.15v, the other isn't so much and will need a bit more. The second one intermittently reboots, and some of the chips X out.
I'm running mine off a Corsair CX750 - I was using an older Zalman 1000W unit before which didn't seem to like running with no 5v/3.3v load. The new Corsair runs perfectly.
how did you hook it up to the blade? I have the same psu, did you need an adapter or did you strip the wires and use a molex adapter? I'm confused by this guide lol :[ Buy extenders and strip those. Then you don't have to damage your PSU |

How can you rate Avalon and KNC as the same grade, when the facts and comments you yourself have written are obviously in favor of KNC? In fact I don't see why KNC is rated mid-tier, save for literally max a couple of weeks delay (less than any other company accepting preorders have managed), they have a perfect reputation.
KNC literally don't care about consumers any more, and if I was KNC myself I wouldn't either with the amount of farm money they make. They're happy to delay shipment to optimise the power consumption for their $10m super farm, at the detriment of buyers. They had working machines they could have churned out at the right hash rates, but they wanted better for THEMSELVES. This is not good for the community. Avalon screwed up, we know. But before that they did amazing work which made the community lots of money. The old management team has since left, and its now essentially a reworked entity. They've delivered Avalon 2 hardware and chips without problems for months, and continue to do so. In fact, they are only offering <2 week/in hand hardware. Recent events have more weighting in my rankings, as that's closer to where people are buying. For example if you bought an Avalon 2 now, it would be delivered now. If I bought a Neptune, which I can't, I'd go to the back of the list of 3000 of already delayed Neptunes. That's 3000 customers who's interests they have to put ahead of mine. I've clearly laid out the conditions for which both companies can improve their ratings with good performance. |

this might work well for a single antminer if you want to squeeze the last few GH out of it (mine all run >375Mhz stock configuration) - anyone thought of a practical way to do this with 4+ antminers?
these things would be great for immersion cooling
Space or stack, not many options. |

Hi to all. Absolutely great forum. So I'm in mining now almost 3 month   and now my cube begins to kill me. It is little bit more than 1 month in my posesion and first 2 weeks it works great overclocked (37,5 GH). Than begin to restart itself: relay clicks inside and only one green LED stay, after 1-5 mins start by itself and resume working. Now the problem is more heavy. After shut down it wont start again, only one green LED stay and cube is do nothing, fan is spinning at normal speed. Than I shut down PS and start it again and fter that Cube start normaly and than work from 1 hour to now max. 2 days and than repeat this cycle. My PS is new (same age than cube 1 month), XFX Pro 750W, bronze and only use it for 1 Cube. I tried different input cables from PS to cube. I cleaned and tightened cooling bodies inside cube. Cube is connected to TP-Link wireless router with RJ-45, used only for cube and laptop runing proxy, no Android devices connected to wireless. Laptop is running W7 Pro, proxy for cube and CFG miner 3.9.0 for couple of Bitfurry's and ASIC miners. When cube went off, USB miners keep working without interruptions. My apologies if this problem was discused already, but I can not find nothing about this particular problem. Thanks. It initially sounds like PSU, but it could be something on the motherboard of the Cube. Probably worth opening it up and taking a look. |

hi, i'm just arrived and i'm thinking to get a cube. I found the link above but i don't understand, if i buy there the products are in europe? so VAT, import fees etc are included in that price? and another question, if I use a PSU, i have to wire green and black wire to turn it on (and then turn on the cube) right? thank you Yes, EU means in the EU. These aren't new release products so they're well distributed around the world. Yes, you will need to wire green to black. anyone bought from them? and do you know how many days it requires to ship to Italy? It should say on checkout, but lots of people have bought. |

Easy to follow overclocking instructions, perhaps?
Setup guides are for box to hashing. I do OCing guides when there isn't already a thread (there is). If it needs summaring then I can take a look. It's also difficult as KNC isn't responding to emails. Dogie, any progress on the summarizing of the OC guide for us common folk? Thnks I've not been able to get any test equipment from KNC. Email them if you want me to do one  |

That's a good point, I'll with add a column for any 'in stock' or <2 week order systems. Also going to be working with fctaichi to get the mining revenue predictions from preorder thread going again, so might be integrated with this.
Be careful with "<2 week order systems" a thou shall not be named soft scammer has coined something in that line many a fold. BFL still isn't <2 week order system, that's "order 9 months ago but it will arrive in 2 weeks". |

Nice thread - thank you! Would you consider adding a column along the lines of "product(s) available now"? My ant is lonely and I'm having trouble finding company for it. My BFL LS power brick bricked recently so it's headed for the scrapheap soon. My eruptors look like souvenirs of another era. What's actually available to ship from stock? - you seem to be a guy who would know. That's a good point, I'll with add a column for any 'in stock' or <2 week order systems. Also going to be working with fctaichi to get the mining revenue predictions from preorder thread going again, so might be integrated with this. |

Actually what we need is a subforum for announcements for hardware preorder scams. Save them the trouble and make it easy for them to know where to post their announcements given the large volume of them appearing.
The problem with this is I work with several pre release companies who are legitimate, but are scared of putting anything on here for fear of being wrongly branded a scam. We need to step back and be reasonable about how we treat a new company. Obviously if its registered to XYZ Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigeria, we can probably guess which way it is. I would propose custom hardware turns to hardware, and then GPUs are considered a subforum. |

If you have a problem, post in the thread in my sig. Separate troubleshooting threads just dilute the knowledge.

Further info on my setup is as follows: 1 Cube 1 Corsair CX600 PSU 1 Win 7 64bit about a year old Laptop acting as the proxy WIRED to a netgear router Using the latest version of proxy miner found here http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howtoPSU is fine so its just unlucky. Although, are you using two PCI-E cables from DIFFERENT strands of cables? |
