to update on my order - police 686 has obtained miner and provided me with price - 25% off from bitmains price plus shipping ($110 USD)
I have used escrow via forum member OgNasty - and am now waiting for tracking number from police 686

Re-read everything. I didn’t ask you for money. Although even if asked, no one would have helped, because everyone here is dreaming of wealth.
You should realize that asking for a no collateral loan is the same as asking for free money. And while we may dream of riches, so do you - just by using other peoples money for free. Anything worth having is worth working for. |

In my life, complete devastation. A debt hole formed. The family is disappointed in me. Banks do not give loans and debts must be repaid immediately. The only person who stayed with me is my wife. I love her so much. I can’t cope with these problems and only my wife holds me in this world. Is it possible to receive a donation or a crypto loan without collateral online? And how is this best done?
Why don't you make something that is useful and try to sell it in crypto, i mean what is your best talent that you could only do? You know that there's no free in the real world even if you say you are in debt i know in the first time you wouldn't want to be in that hellhole in the first place yet you continue to do so. If you already sacrificed something to someone then do it again if you want to move up. If everything was as simple as you say, I would not write here. In your country, they do not pay so well for talents. nothing is supposed to be simple - it is supposed to be hard work and challenging - otherwise everyone would be millionaires and no one would have a crap job. |

2 x Innosilicon T2Turbo @ 24.0TH - $700 each
how are these performing? power consumption as advertised? I think with 5 cent electric these might earn me about $90 per month profit ea so tempted. |

rather than asking for donations - you might want to look instead for a way to earn the money rather than asking. Control your spending, cut out the stuff that is "want" and stick with what is "need" at least until you can actually afford to waste money on the "want" things.

can't wait to see what Asic is coming.
I cant wait either - even though I have to return my R606 - I was happy with how it performed when it was working so I can imagine that anything new coming will be just as good or better. |

Yes. You need to donit for all newpacs/606’s you have connected.
I did it for the one. just wanted to be sure it was the right driver. |

Thanks for the update and great that you got the API running.
I've looked at the API report and it looks like most information should be displayed correctly in Awesome Miner. One limitation is that this miner doesn't support reporting the temperature - the temperature value reported is 0.
that is correct - the temp reports as zero but the hash rate is reporting correctly |

yes - the post was deleted by a moderator along with several other posts. when I run that version it wont go above 200mhz spoke with seller and I will be returning the miner for a replacement, though a replacement is about 4 to 5 weeks back ordered and I will have to pay to ship it. Hoping the second unit fares better than the first - I am sure it will. I think I have only see one other case of a R606 having issues. unless Phil is serious lol though I would hate to send him a unit he would have to replace Quite interesting if it fails I would be willing to swap my r606 for your r606 and run yours in my setup .
edit: one question, I did install the right USB driver right?  |

ahh ok so returned. I will contact minefarmbuy - as for cooling, it is sitting in an open area on one corner of my desk room is at a constant 72 F -- my R606 runs super cool almost feels like ice when touching the casing.

Yes, eventually it does that, the number of chips drop until it reaches zero and then it goes to "off"
so, you had the same issue? what was the resolution? was it a bad unit? I know there are not many as I have not seen anyone else now besides you that has said they had issues.
and the vendor will help? do you mean by replacing or there is a fix?

With as much as has been tried, it most likely is a bad machine. The BM1387 ASICs are really difficult to reliably solder with the equipment I have. Pins are sub-quarter-millimeter dimensions which means virtually zero solder, and the comparably massive belly pads can cause lift. Took us about six months of trial and error to find a stencil profile, placement method and reflow oven speed/temp profile that worked satisfactorily, but it's not perfect. It's basically an exacerbation of the same issue we had with R606, where there'd be pad contact or, at best, an unreliable solder joint, while testing that then gets disconnected once conditions change after some burn-in by the customer, resulting in dropped chips.
I'll keep making R606 and testing as strenuously as I can before releasing, but unfortunately until we start using a different, better ASIC in a new version, this is going to keep happening to a percentage of pods.
understood and to be clear this is a r606 that I have. what I see as it slowly lowers the speed is 0: GSI 0 - peak adjust: target frequency 550mhz - > 543.75mhz |

we could try. my pc is as follows:
intel i9 - 9900
850 watt corsair psu
w/ liquid cooled chassis
64 gb ddr 2666 mhz ram
dont recall what mb
128 gb m2 drive
2 tb ssd
2 tb 7200 rpm sata drive\
nvidia RTX 2070 oc 8gb gddr6

I'd guess it was frodocooper being overzealous again. That guy's been problematic since he started as a mod.
Additionally, weird your pod is dropping out. They're all tested for 12 chips and run at 550MHz at V5 or lower for 24 hours before getting sent out. Each one is tested in various ways both before and after that burn-in, meaning it gets plugged in and run for various durations at least four times.
If it refuses to operate right despite a good controller, good power and all that, talk to the seller about warranty replacement. The seller probably can give you startup and testing advice also.
Yea it runs great for 12 chips well it says (12+) for around 30 mins then it just starts dropping every few mins till it says 6 chips and 200 mhz then it goes to 0 chips. I will talk with minefarmbuy (who I purchased it thru) I just wanted to hear from you first. I have tried swapping the usb cords - I wish I had a second way to power it to see if its the power brick. I gotta look around I may have a pc psu somewhere that I can try. I dont want the issue to be the unit. edit: hmm i wonder if the brick for my Apollo will work on the R606 - time to find out  2nd edit: the Apollo psu does work for the R606 - so its up and running at 550 mhz (setting 5) started at 11:19 lets see if it can make it past 30 mins. 3rd edit: lasted 55 mins before going to zero chips |

I assume you launch cgminer from the command line today? Can you try to enable the API for it by also adding something like the following command line arguments:
--api-listen --api-allow W:0/0
At this point it should be possible to point an External Miner in Awesome Miner to the IP address of the computer running cgminer.
I do not launch it from the command line - I downloaded it from the link I posted, when I open/run it, it automatically starts prompting me for pool information This does not appear to run like any cgminer version I have used before. As you point out, it does sound like a very custom cgminer version. Typically you need to start Cgminer with API parameters like I suggested above in order to enable the monitoring interface (API) where Awesome Miner can connect. If you do open cmd.exe and then launch cgminer.exe with the parameters I suggested, are those simply ignored? ok I understand i think, I created a .bat with the following command line cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://bitcoin.viabtc.com:3333 -u MoparMiningLLC.003 -p x are you stating I should add --api-listen --api-allow W:0/0 to the end so that it is like this? cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://bitcoin.viabtc.com:3333 -u MoparMiningLLC.003 -p x --api-listen --api-allow W:0/0 update: I ran it with the command line above and with what you suggested, in cgminer i saw "API running in IP access mode on port 4028 (1884)" I tried to add it to AM using the pc's IP address and with port 4028 - the "test connection" fails though. update: I got it to work - I had to open the port on the pc's firewall - after that it worked just fine. will pm you the API log as you requested. |

I dont want to cancel order. I payed for my order in May with btc, when BTC price was about 5k. Hope I will get my shipment soon.
it would be worth cancelling only if they provided you the exact amount of BTC you paid with. |

But I am going to have to stop posting in this thread as a moderator keeps deleting what I post here - I think 4 or 5 posts now.
Yeah, so are mine which is why I PM'd you. Feel free to drop a note via PM if you like. will do - just frustrating for the posts to be deleted especially as they are ON topic and are focused towards getting one of the R606 to work. |

Look at the top post and it shows how to add the commands for the pool information on the command line so that you don't have to do that. In Windoze it's easiest to create a batch file in Linux create a .sh file or type in the complete command line, Linux remembers command line history through reboots so you don't have to retype it every time.
will do, I got your pm and I did have a .bat file but I was not running it but instead was running the generic one I downloaded lol But I am going to have to stop posting in this thread as a moderator keeps deleting what I post here - I think 4 or 5 posts now. They are not even merging them so the screenshots are gone, the text etc |

ok thanks! will look into it. the only hard part I have had is how to add other commands - when I start the supplied cgminer it automatically starts by asking for pool information - and it does that every time I start it.

Same PC or is it on your wifes?
same PC - I am trying yet another cable, it's been running 10 mins so far. edit: tried the wifes pc with the 3 cords I am getting the same results. What version of cgminer are you running? I found I had better results with my newpacs on the May 13th version rather than May 26th. Havent a clue why. I helped vh with some testing on my win10 pc as it seems to be a real fickle machine running Newpacs. P.S. i know yours is 606 but its the same chips and controller  I am using the May 26th version. if the 3rd cable is not the answer, then I will try the May 13th version. Tried May 13th version and it wont go over 400 mhz and not for long before it goes to 200 mhz then to zero and the no chips message.
I might have to get a raspberry pi and try that though I have zero experience using them. My guess is that it is not difficult. |
