The red LED flashes like the other devices while they are booting up then all LED's go off after the initial flickering. But:

After a hard reset using the pin, it will do the initial red LED bootup flicker, it then goes into the fast blink 8-9 times then 1 slow blink repeated for a dozen times then red led light goes off.

NIC LED lights are unaffected at any time. WebGUI is inaccessible at any time. 

I have one S3 now that seems to be broken.  

The LED's on the nic light up and blink like usual. When I reset and reboot, the red LED light will blink 8-9 times fast then 1 slow blink and repeats about a dozen times then turns off.

I cannot access the web gui at any time.

Can anyone tell me what is at fault here? Maybe I can use the parts from an S1 to bring it back to life?

So here is the overnight update:

@philipma1957 - I think you are right here, either not enough power or too hot, probably the first.

One of my 30amp 240v breakers tripped shutting off a PDU, so I moved one of the power supplies to another pdu. Problem solved but demonstrates the power these guys drink.

At 240 freq it worked for about 3 hours then slowly the hash would decline, I thought one of power supplies may have overheated but when I checked everything looked fine. Hitting the 'resession' button on the be controller set everything back on que again. Then within several hours same thing.

At 250 freq it worked or about an hour then I had the same problem of the hash rate declining until I hit the 'resession' button. Hash rate did not increase.

At 230 freq it is still working for the past 6 hours with no hash rate decline and it matches the ghs that is to be expected. Curious if this helps with power usage at all, but really hoping it stays this way I'm not in a position to be hitting buttons multiple times a day. So far so good crossing my fingers.

[edit] seems to be generating a lot of duplicate shares is this normal?, Also I think 2048 may be a better diff setting for 4x prisma.

Thanks CrazyGuy, I now have 4 prismas connected to one BE cube that is chugging away the past 2 hours now without problems. I needed the dip switch info for sure. Straight forward install, everything there and even a few extra cables. Sweet more stuff for the parts drawer.




Apologies for the dark pic. But you can see I am powering 4 prismas using two stacked 2000watt IBM DPS2000BB power supplies with Sidehack's awesome breakout board and his cables 1 PCI-E per hashing board (which I admit are a little long for this layout). Cables are not hot or warmer than outside environment. I had a little mishap that involved grounding metal to some parts of a hashing board with pops and sparks but that board is chugging away anyhow  

The tubes do give off a lot of heat, more than the S3 for sure, but just a bit more than a S1. Most of the heat is coming from the stacked power supplies pushing ~4500watts combined. (not confirmed soon I will obtain some recycled PDU's that meter each outlet  ) I used the two fans that came with my older S2 kit for the power supplies, one to push, one to pull. One just one wasn't enough it would overheat and shut off.

Pool side reporting 5.7Ths past 1hour, difficulty at 4096.

Can you confirm all 4 from batch 1 + 1 be controller shipped? I only see movement on two out of four of the tracking numbers/labels I sent.

[edit] I see movement now on all 4. USPS is slow to populate all the numbers can you tell I'm getting antsy? 

From those pictures it looks like the hashing boards are powered by 2 6pin pcie plugs or am I just looking at it wrong? Are these going to be like the S3 where one 6pin pcie per hashing board will work but two is needed for overclocking?

Any chance of getting 10% back on my order? They are for my 7 prismas from CrazyGuy he could confirm. (4 from batch 1 3 for batch 4) It's okay no need you charge a fair price. But if you want to give me 10% off the next order I would take you up on that - I will be coming back for more 

He could have just spent it all on hookers and coke I guess. In a worse case scenario I would be happy to give the debt away only for a little proof that someone collected on it. 

Many thanks! Small donation sent have a case of beer on me 

It was a little tongue in cheek but it is looking like we got ripped off the more time that goes by.. When it gets to the point of no return for me I wouldn't mind selling the debt off 50c on the dollar to an outfit like this and if we combined some of our orders together the slice of pie may be large enough for them to take it or maybe some of their friends? The debt owed should double if this route is pursued, penalty for being royal scammer jackass. Phone number and gym info are in the episode 

Maybe we can hire this guy to collect for us:

Are we having website issues? Every once in awhile I'll get in a tr0llbox somewhere and give out a few fails to peeps that give me failcoin addys. This last time people couldn't download the wallet and so I checked for myself and it seemed like the site kind of FAIL'ed to display most text some blank screens this is with Firefox. Some perfect irony ahh I love this coin. 

That's okay, I think we got most of the large dumpers out the way so no news or not this tire seems to be holding the pressure now. I'm going to hold off on another pump for now waiting for someone else to take a turn. If it does seem to spring a leak I'll plug it up. 

Treat your FAIL's as very high worth when using them because this is all vastly intentionally undervalued.

I threw another 50LTC at the market it only seems a tiny trickle of sell orders the past few weeks, working on breaking down some of those bigger walls.

Just pull the wires from behind the switch and tie them together (short them)

So I have this same problem of power outages for a few seconds every few days that shut off most of my ATX power supplies and requires me to manually switch them.

The IBM DPS2000BB 2000watt server power supplies + sidehack's breakout board (gekkoscience.com) solve this issue completely. All the machines attached to those are really maintenance free and kick back on after the power glitches every time. Just make sure you tie on adequate fans to keep them cool and running.

I know not ideal for S4 replacing the pws but that's most likely what is necessary to solve this problem.

Can you put me down for one more? To be shipped when batch 3 arrives of course.  I'll send btc tonight. 

I can confirm that these are the ones to use, very much plug and play pws for these boxes.

I'm gunna poke a stick into this beehive and run 

If you are a miner at any scale, like most jobs, you must do it better and cheaper than anyone else doing your same job if you want to come out on top. There is no system in the world that guarantees everyone will be a winner.

I would really like to be able to set my scrypt miners mining other alts and have them exchange for FAIL automatically through exchanges. Between us all we could increase the pressure more than dramatically I can throw in a measly 1 btc and 500million FAIL to add to whatever bounty to whomever makes this happen. Of course with our FAIL history I would only pay after completion, and you would just have to trust me.
