Are the H-cards even in stock?

Was hoping to fill out my starter kit but at that price point... yikes.

Got my sept payment. Thanks.

Dave,

I still have not received my mining payment for my August Order #149?
Why the hold up?  A lot of people with higher order numbers than mine already received theirs.

I already emailed sales/accounts/PMed you (many times!!!).  

Thanks,
Peter

In my last correspondence with Yvonne I was told "here is some issue with a server or some such technical thing so he will make another attempt shortly". I would really like to resolve this now.

For those of you still waiting for August order kits refunds for late delivery, I just got email from Kat, saying that Dave plans to do refunds by the end of the month.  I'm assuming it is end of this month. 

Order#149 - "August" Starter kit

Thanks,
af_newbie

End of the month? I'm struggling to understand how distributing 1.25 BTC across 32 orders is requiring months of work. SebastianJu refunded 100's of customers in one day. Come on Dave, just send the payments.

The weekend came and went without a BTC refund for the delayed August orders. We are just a few days sort of a month waiting.

Did anyone get August Kit payment for late delivery?

I'm still waiting for mine.  Order #149.

Still waiting.

Looking to sell one of my MBP Bitfury Starter Kits /w Version 2.1 M-Board for 11.5 BTC.

The included H-card runs stable at 35 GH/s with errors less than 4%. I am located in Canada and would prefer to ship to Canada to keep costs low for all involved. I'll throw in two DC fans so you can run it overclocked right out of the box.

It will be a few weeks until Megabigpower ships the rest of its units so get ahead while you can. If we settle today I can run down to the post office and get it in the mail today. Would prefer sale to be completed via escrow (SebastianJu).

By now I've sent all the BTC payouts to those starter kit holdouts that gave us a payment address.  

I sent my address but did not receive a payment. I'll send it again right now.

Still waiting on a refund..

Me too - been 10 days now - After multiple email megabigpower.com keeps telling me that my refund is coming - they say Dave wants to do all refunds at once... I'm getting concerned now.  Huh

Has any one been given a figure on the refund? 10+ days since the initial email from Dave.

Just took a look at the results from 12+ hours of logging yesterday after pulling chainminer v1.2. The board looks quite stable and error rates dropped significantly (~1% over the entire peroid). I'm looking at 36 GH/s sustained over long periods just dc fans and no heat sinks. I've manually clocked all chips at 54 and have not noted any benefit in using the auto feature in v1.2. Now someone push the board up to 40 Wink


how are you making that sort of log? Im moving to manual tuning now, since most chips are stable at 54/55 with 1% errors and 36Ghash/37Ghash-nonce.

if it runs well for the next few hours i will consider moving the resistance from 1.178 to 1.165 (before it gave me issues, but that was prior to chainminer update)

Send Isokivi a tip for saving you the headache.

Anyone received details on the BTC payments to late august orders? I received an email saying there were compiling options but no details.

Nice bump in gh greaterninja. Glad to see the improvement I saw is not a one off.

any sign of chips stopping at random? When I had 1.16K i could rarely get more then 15 chips working, and sometimes it would drop to 14 at times. I now have about 1.178k and 16 chips work well for the first 5-15 minutes, then it seems to drop to 15 chips again. Ive only once in the last 24hrs seen it drop to 14 chips. Im not sure if this is the chips themselves, or if the pencil mod is pushing the limits of the DC 30A converter and forcing a chip to turn off as some result of that.

Have you tried clocking the chips down? Mine seem much happier at 54 or 53 with the higher voltage. I need a bit of patience with mine as well, it often does not achieve its top end for a few hours.

The in circuit resistance is ~1.18K at room temperature. I've not measured the resistance once the system is up to operating temperature. I've moving air across the board somewhat aggressively to keep temperatures constant and the regulator happy. My digikey order came in today and I'll try to work up some stats on swapping resistors out this weekend. I'm not interested in using the pencil mod as a long term solution.

I'd take a "if its not broken dont..." stance on software changes unless you are having similar bus issues. I was interested in the spi changes (increased speed and reset rate) and have observed a positive increase in stability/noncerate by upgrading. I'll try to do a sensitivity sweep of the reset rate to find what works best for my setup on the v2 boards.

NOTE: I was one of the late august orders and received a 4 channel 2.3 M-board. Comments in this post only apply to those with this board or later revisions.

I pulled the latest commits from the bfsb/chainminer last night and have improvement in the stability of my starter kit over the last 12 hours. Error rates have dropped from ~7% to ~2%. More importantly my previous MISO errors have nearly disappeared. The comments on the pull suggest that by increasing the spi reset rate stability should increase. The H-Card is stable at around 36GH/s. If you are going to pull the latest commits make sure to back up your current software AND make sure you have the proper hardware to do so.

I'd like to hear about other experiences with the new spi resets.

^how did you do this? the chainminer 2.2 release or something different, and how was it implemented? Ive still got ssh errors (mining just fine) and plan to reformat the SD soon, and would LOVE to get my error rate down to 2% - that sounds like a dream compared to the current 6-12%!

I had to remove the chainminer directory on the MBP supplied sd card as git was not setup on the directory. I then cloned chainminer from https://github.com/bfsb/chainminer and issued a make.

I only have an hour of logs to show here but the standard deviation on my mean chip noncerate has dropped significantly with additional spi resets. The card is consistently pushing above 35 GH/s with a pair of DC fans and a bit of graphite.

I just received mine today!...but i paid $111 custom fees Embarrassed
need to start running it....

To Canada?  They have to mark them as "prototype sample PCB" or usually you'll have to pay fees

They are marked as motherboards and taxed at 100%. I paid $110 on mine as well.

So everyone who got late Aug. shipments received the compensation email?
I am not sure if i was missed or need to wait longer?



Emails were sent but they did not give a specific amount for compensation. I emailed them last thursday as the email stated and have not heard anything back.
