Any ideas why keeps shut down every 5 hours?
What shuts down Some more info dude os product software which you are using? Yeah sure! Sorry I was in hurry just dropped in the question. So it's a Hex8A1 running directly from a TP-Link. In the first few days it was runing fine, but the last 3 deays it keeps shuting down about every 5 hours and I have to switch it down and up to get it runing. The boards stops working and I got this message from api log: [Firmware Version] => 20140329 cgminer: 4_1_0_5ed45a0 Socket connect failed: Connection refused Edit: Just ssh-d in. Cgminer starts but don't recognize the board. Lsusb? Try setting default to 8 Directly into tplink? Use hub in between for sure dmesg will show you a lot of usb errors. Tplink does not like slow usb devices Just put a usb hub in between that is all You can do folowing 1. Throw away tplink power adaprter 2. Buy usb 2.0 powered hub 3. Throw away usb hub power adapter 4. Rib of the power jack of hub and connect it to your psu 5V - take power for the hub from PSU which you are using to power the miner 5. Connect both usb cables of tplink into that hub power and data 6. Plug in there your hex board 7. Forget about issues;)

It would probably be wise for everyone that is upset with their damaged/non working miners - to go ahead and pack them up correctly and ship them back to AMT (at your expense). This way they can't fight giving you a refund.
Waiting for RMA parts from this circus known as AMT just doesn't seem worth it.
These miners have incompetence written all over them. Hard to believe anyone with technical skills would of been able to ship these out in this condition. QA my ass. Thermal paste, loose screws, missing cables, damaged boards and bent cases. Everything that could of possibly gone wrong, has - and now it's time for AMT to rectify this situation.
AMT you should be honoring refunds NOW. People have waited, and now they are FUCKED. Tell me how anyone WOULDN'T be eligible for a refund after you've mailed them busted hardware after months of delays?
Again folks do not sign on delivery just refuse. The chance to get your money if there is still any chance not in court is bigger Ps Thermal paste is not an issue assuming it is non conductive But amt are full of surprises always

Did you know that AMT had a Manny working in the office at one time? http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18560800&page=125Got a reply and have asked for a guarantee re a refund prior to delivery and exactly when the point of no return is from their perspective!
Reply:
From: Advanced Miners [mailto:sales@advancedminers.com] Sent: 02 January 2014 17:57 To: Me! Subject: Re: 1.2 TH/s miners
Thank you for your inquiry.
We currently cannot accept CC payments on our larger miners, we are only accepting CC payments on the 80 gh and 120 gh miners.
We do not offer guarantees, the lead time on the 1.2 th/s miners are 6-8 weeks, and you can cancel your order anytime up to the delivery of the unit.
All the best, Manny so what happens when a miner is finally delivered and its faulty like mine? RNA in best case scenario unfortunately when it gets delivered you are fucked because amt formally made thir part of contract and by signing and getting the miner you formally have agreed to take the crap I am not a lawyer though

Moving on to the controller. I've got it powered via the 5v USB. The pwr light does turn on. I plug it into the router and all the lights come on. I do an IP scan and receive the following list. I hit each IP address with the browser and get the following results. 192.168.0.1 - router 192.168.0.7 - No response 192.168.0.8 - No response 192.168.0.9 - No response 192.168.0.11 - printer 192.168.0.15 - No response 192.168.0.40 - Ant miner When I unplug the controller, my list stays the same. How do we get into this thing? A few pages ago someone mentioned that you can hook up monitor to pi and see what is going on Just look for it Btw you could try ssh or telnet

WTF! Joshua Zipkin already admitted he's not an engineer. Hell, NONE of his profiles on the internet even suggest he's versed with hardware, offering up just one for proof: http://www.crunchbase.com/person/joshua-zipkinPrior to TheDealFair, Joshua worked in the Balkan markets where he established and created some of the first daily deal sites in the region. Since then, he and his team have focussed primarily on TheDealFair.com, while also developing several original eCommerce based services, such as a unique microjob site, an apartment letting site, and diversified mobile apps. He is the founder of Setupstarters, a web site development company with services that range from social media marketing consultation, to outsourced BPO. He attended PennState University where he majored in International Economics. Coming from Phildelphia, and having lived in Europe, he considers himself to be an entrepreneur of the world, constantly mixing mentalities with unique ideas, to solve the problems of today’s industry leading sites. Personal Quote: “I’m A Traveler From West To East” Yeah but magic word free made wasps to bite It is their business after all...to sell their a...s and reputation for a couple of free chips Nice

Well there goes my only working board. its cooked itself see picture below of a nice cooked heat sink. im tired of this now and im requesting a full refund. i am not happy with the product i have recieved. this is very poor considering ive spent $3999 on basically scrap. im that fed up with this that i will not accept any form of product replacement i want a full refund. email sent requesting this also. guys stay well clear Dude, you do realize that with this one post this is the death knell of AMT's, don't you? I think everyone is tired of this nonsense. This is just all sorts of poor form and stalling tactics. Thankfully with the internet this can all be very well documented and is getting the attention it needs. Companies now lose the power to screw their customers over so easily as a result. I suggest everyone document with pictures everything you get and every flaw with the device and just keep it handy in the event it needs to be used. It seems like just when they are about to turn the corner there is another massive screw up to make this worse for everyone. It almost seems deliberate. I mean seriously with a class action and FTC complaints and all this you would think there would be an incredible amount of attention to detail and quality on getting the hardware out to people. But if this was a ploy to absolve responsibility this is a REALLY bad move to do that. When I go pick my hardware up I will be inspecting it before I leave. Because their word cannot be trusted I need to see it before I walk out of there. They just made more enemies shipping the hardware out. The MPP is a joke they were likely never intending to honor. Just a bait and switch marketing hook to get people to buy in. And it worked. But damn this is a disaster. Likely my comments will affect my chances to get my miner. But then I am already at the end of my patience. If I don't get a reply on Monday 4/14/2014 by end of business (5-6PM EST) as AMT said they would (and stated in this very forum publicly) contact me on Monday...I will be taking further action on a legal level. I will be reaching out to my business lawyer tomorrow if I have no reply by end of business. I suggest everyone start looking at legal options too with your disaster stories if you get no service or replies from them. Even with the product in your hands you still have that option because they are not working to really mediate this. Just stringing you along with words. Who here has actually gotten a replacement or a tracking number for a replacement? We stuck our necks out and are supporting the product in broken form with little input from AMT. We are also suffering in the forums of losses from both massive delays AND faulty equipment. This is just beyond fucking ridiculous. Guy'S Put opieum in the ignore list what he speaks is nonce with 0 contribution to this thread Amt Is a good company they did some mistakes in the past we all hope they are getting better and better each second Ps it is beyond fucking ridiculous 200 pages ago dude Due to having some respect for opieum, I, too, considered penning a similar sarcastic post, but held my pen. He will not read it phinn I am in his ignore list already To all folks who still read it Do not sign when crap is delivered return it back and ask for refund Do not loose your dignity guy's. Money are lost already!

Going to add another person to my ignore list. Funny how we only see the negative in certain companies when it is suitable eh?
Anyhow... ANY help is appreciated thanks again AMT.
Face the facts Bick If you are still reading it And of course it is your project and you are free to decide what to do And remember there is no free lunch Wish you long and successful cooperation with AMT. The rating of AMT will beat BFL one soon Best Some real guys who know what they do and they do it well vs3 and bkk Cooperation with them will bring you much more. Make them part of your team if you can. What actually matters is your reputation guy's and your team members skills. But if you trade all this for a free chips AMT are proved to be ZERO competent from technical point of view

OK, so I've secured the blades in the chassis with the screws I found in the bottom of the box. The new problem is now the pins do not line up. They hired engineering team to dsign cages remember No seriously From mell setup I see they align. Most probably your cage is twisted somehow So my advise for you Unscrew your screws Test al modules one by one first Then make them align somehow while unscrewed and screw whatever you can This will be bulky of course but life sucks ....

Remember, AMT sent out hundreds (their words) of 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miners, albeit all those who waiting for one penning on this thread didn't receive one till recently. And, it was stated that they were send sub-par units per their instructions, with AMT wanting to make sure that those who ordered complete units received them working properly. Care to guess what happened? All those who got their units earlier are supposedly hashing away with nary an issue, while those who waited for complete properly working units, eventually requesting kits, continue to get smoke blown up their ass by The Mighty Zip. That doesn't sound like being On The Level to me. Smokily situation is going to happen with complete and tested miners also It is just a matter of time someone to receive unsmashed one

Hold on a second Loshia before you scare everyone with your provocative statements. Yes we've said that " Now We are in distress, and may need some help from the community". But you're contribution has been anything but that, and our miners work fine and you should be the first one to know that and admit that of course. WhoAAAAAAAAA there, Mr. On the Level, it's up to you to show, thus prove to the community that your 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miners are working, preferably via video you promised two months ago. Remember that promise? To date, nary a properly working 1.2 TH/s AMT bitcoin miner has been seen hashing in the wild via video. On a lighter note, hope sales are brisk from your brissed friends, stemming from your booth at the Bitcoin Expo in Toronto. For those having trouble finding it, simply follow the Red Bull empty cans trail. It is so ridiculous Phinn Or both you and me are carsy as he'll or I am going to visit my shrink these days I need strong pills obviously I am wandering what pils other folks are taking

I require a new miner im not happy with this equipment that has been sent out to me. none of the boards actually do anything that comes close to mining. i want either a full refund so i can buy a several 200ghs ant miners or a fully working amt miner that actually hashes. not happy folks
mellorbos/regtables miner works fine with my rm1000 psu attached so there is no reason why my boards dont run other than they are faulty. ive tried their backplane and ribbon cable.ive tried my boards individually. ive tried everything. losing patience now rapidly
Dude, It is not quite sure how mell works. What is sure that it almost works and works much much better than yours About erg tables one I could not state anything A friendly advise ask for refund and go for ants you want regret But amt will never give your money back

If you need help with either A1 or Bitfury know how, we're happy to help and advise in any way we can. As the US chip distributor, we can also donate a few A1's to your cause as well.
ROFL These guy's are out of space. The only thing in therms of technical knowledge what you can learn from them is how to duc tape Technobit bitfury boards From the other side you can learn how to do business in most honest and open way from them also besides you could ask for some free A1 chips also They have plenty To amt - Zipkin remember this guys are working for free and are not taking anything from community So do not ask to much money upfront for the precious advises you are about to give

Which power supply is recommended for the 1.2?
As isawhim said 25 amps per module not Overclocked with 15% reserve For 5 modules you need 110-120 amps at 12 v as minimum. Depending on particular psu and it is rating at 12v rails it would be 1300 - 1500 W That is for 5 modules AMT can be so kind to give some light about ACTUAL. POWER consumption? PS: I suggest to wait for official amt response about it because nobody has measured it yet except them But as rule of thumb the powerful is always better except that you are the one to pay the bill unfortunately The reason I didn't buy chips and build one myself is because I don't have time for this crap. I need make and models. So the easiest way is to plug just one module and measure it then because amt are unable to do that for some reason

As isawhim said 25 amps per module not Overclocked with 15% reserve. It is not a good idea to drive your psu at 80% of its rating for longer period For 5 modules you need 110-120 amps at 12 v as minimum. Depending on particular psu and it is rating at 12v rails it would be 1300 - 1500 W That is for 5 modules AMT can be so kind to give some light about ACTUAL. POWER consumption?
