dogie is just mad because I proved he was a complete moron in his 7990 malta thread. maybe next time he should buy the hardware before speculating and acting like a complete jackass.Its funny he claims he has a 200k/ year google job lined up yet he lacks the social skills to even keep a $10/hour job. Getting back to business.... I am using John K as escrow
Hosting fee has since been changed to 8%. Any chance I can get you to do escrow on my group buy?
I can verify who I am, power bill, etc to you as long as you can keep it private.
I am trying to charge 10% hosting fee if they want it hosted.
Asciminer said they would give blades to me at 46btc a piece if I bought 50 units.
Perhaps I should charge a slight premium.
Yes I can do so. Sorry for the delay again as I had something urgent to attend to that took me out of state. Just tell me when your pledges reach 10% of your group buy funding for me to release an escrow contract. Thanks, John Not at Google, I turned them down after working there  You can't escrow a payment first group buy - you're financing the purchase with the buyers money, so you need the buyers money to buy. You can't escrow hosting, you can just walk off with the hardware and the income and nothing stops you. |

whatever degenskee, please troll more loser.
Is this the attitude of someone you'd trust with $300,000 of your hardware? |

Friedcat responded to my second e-mail. 49.99 BTC sent to him. He did say that if they were out of stock, that the funds would be refunded. I am wondering if they aren't making anymore?
Could be just between batch shipments, or they're expecting the new revision asap? |

While you are here friedcat, are you able to enlighten us on the new revision of ethernet and power delivery boards we will eventually receive. 1) Why have you designed a revision, what is likely to improve? 2) Will you be rolling it out on all your blades already hashing away or just new installs? 3) Can we have another hashing board with them, seems a shame to have perfectly good ethernet and power delivery boards without a friend  1) Mainly for longevity and stability. 2) Just for new installs. 3) Yes. But you need to pay for the hashing board according to the price at that moment.  4) What sort of time frame for the new network + power boards, are we talking weeks, months, 6 months etc? 5) And for the batch 1 hashing boards? 6) Are those hashing boards going to be any different or just a tiny revision? What will be changed? 7) I won't live at the address I had my 4 blades shipped to much longer, will you ask us all for new info or just ship to original addresses? If so, I'm screwed |

I have 4 blades, in latest setup [OP] they've never restarted themselves once where I haven't unplugged them to reset them manually. Longest stint was 5 days before I changed settings.

Okay lets put it this way. You're asking $15,000 more than the equivalent in blades which 1) exist, 2) are delivered globally in 2-5 days 3) exist.

He has reposted the thread to clear the negative feedback and scam warnings: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215309Escrow does not protect you in a batch buy like this as he requires funds upfront, and obviously the same with hosting |

This is a remake of the following topic because he received negative feedback and scam warnings: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204461tldr: This is a scam or a terrible terrible offer. Either way do not accept, you can only lose. Escrow does not protect you in a batch buy like this as he requires funds upfront, and obviously the same with hosting. |

I think you will be hard pressed to find people that will pay 46 btc for a blade and actually have someone else keep it in their possession and maintain it. For the most part they're pretty easy to setup, don't use much power and are mostly set it and forget it.
I've already got 4 interested buyers, I don't have to keep them they have the option of having it delivered even after getting a discount. Every day is costing them 0.5+ btc. So the 3 btc discount disapears in 6 days. Its going to take that long to get enough buyers, get them to pay, order and redistribute. dogie- I'd like to ask you to stop posting nonsense on my thread(s). If you are not buying and certainly not interested don't post. Your Negative-Nancy comments are not welcome. Thanks and have a good day! I can post wherever I want, but thanks for the tip. Just making sure people are aware of potential scams and horrific proposals - if they were remotely positive then you wouldn't be trying to hide true economics of your proposals. tldr: This is a scam or a terrible terrible offer. Either way do not accept, you can only lose. |

And this follows all your threads abusing BFL and how you think they'll never ship and you want a refund?
Ok.

So you've listed the car for £29,000 but are asking £33,200 in bitcoins. NEXT.
Damn dogie, you like to go around pissing on peeps auctions. lol. Logic OP. |

Its not really though is it. You've fixed price to fiat not btc.

It goes without saying, that I would like to be issued a refund for my bids today. As I am now out of the top 10 bids, with no intention of bidding higher, my BTC will just be sitting there.
I think the blunder bid, and the non-winning bids are returned and that all is tidy. If you do not think so now, please let me know. So Prof are you accepting any/all of my bids? I was lying in bed and think I worked out how to actually do it xD I should have send 1.5 to each of my addresses, and so when I sent on to you it would have allowed me to select 5 addresses. I welcome your bids, but I sent the entire blunder-bid back so that the record is very clean in the block-chain. You may want to practice this using only your own addresses, so you don't lose control of your money. The instructions I wrote are in post #155. Rec. |

This is heat based.
It happens even on low clocks and with a large box fan blowing very cool air at the blades. I don't think it's heat based. In fact, after further testing, they still reboot at the same time even when connected to different proxies/pools. It's just not likely that two blades with overkill cooling are overheating & locking up every ASIC chip at the exact same time. it's next to impossible, really. Furthermore, if it were heat based, I'm sure i'd get much less than an hour out of them after the reboot. Feel around the entire board, including the chips on the back. |

Overall I am very happy with this blade. Today, however, I noticed it restarted itself for no reason. This was after hashing perfectly at 13,000 mh/s for the last 3 days or so. Is that normal? It restarted and is slowly working its way back up to 13,000 mh/s again on Slush's pool. Should I be concerned?
If it lasted 3 days then its neither heat nor power. Its just a bug, hence friedcat offering the new power delivery and network boards for stability. |

Just in case anybody's interested in my installation Two 120mm fans on the heatsink in push/pull config, 140mm fan at the back blowing at the chips. All three fans are powered from one HDD molex connector I'm using an old-ish ATX PSU with just one PCI-e power connector so I'm powering the other blade from a 4-pin CPU power connector. I purchased 40cm extension cables (male-female) for both (PCI-e power & 4-pin CPU), removed the female connectors on the other end and attached the blade power connectors. This way the blades plug into the high-amp PSU connectors nicely. At 20 AWG 5 amp per cable is not a problem at all provided that there is good contact on the blade connector end. Be careful, 20awg is smaller than 18 |

Hi, just chiming in with my experience with power distribution to my BE after seeing all the melted wire posts. Instead of using a molex splitter, I used one of these:  Cut the 6-pin connector off the end and remove the third (not yellow, not black) wire from the molex plugs. Don't cut it -- just reach in with a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers and gently squeeze the pin at the base and you should be able to slide it right out. You'll now have two molex connectors that you can wire to the power plug: two yellow to the + side, two black to the -. Double-check with a multi-meter before you plug it in -- always double-check! You can get a multi-meter for less than $10. Use two molex connectors on the same feed from your PSU. I've been running like this for 2 days now at "high" clock and the cables are barely warm. Don't skimp on fans, either. I have 4, two against the heat sink and another two on the other side of the board. I'm going to add two more on the back of the power board, too, it's quite warm. Absolutely no different to the recommended setup, its still 2 lives and 2 neutrals [actually compared with my 2 lives and 4 neutrals]. The problem with burnt cables is some brands are selling knockoff cabling which isn't sufficient. Has anyone had an issue with their blade(s) where they'll mine for a while (minutes or hours) and reboot on a regular basis? Both of mine will run for an hour or so, stop hashing for a couple minutes, and reboot (triggers the failsafe). It's great that they reset automatically, but I'm losing a few minutes of hashing each hour. I'm running them through slush's stratum proxy and they maintain ethernet communication the entire time (the web page stays accessible and they're connected to the proxy).
I tried moving one to another pool (under another instance of the proxy using a different port) and it still does the same thing, although they now reset at different times. It seems like a stratum proxy or pool issue, but I'd expect it to pick back up after a disconnect (if that's what's happening). When the blades go down for a couple minutes, my GPUs keep hashing (although they aren't using the proxy).
I'm going to start digging into it, but I wanted to check to see if someone else ran into the same thing.
This is heat based. |
