I purchased an Antminer S1 on 4/9/14 and sent Bitmain an email asking if I would get a coupon and they said that "yes, coupons will be ready soon".
So I'm confident that I'll be getting a coupon soon.
So far every time I sent an email to them they've answer me within a few hours.
What email address did you use? I just PM'ed them here on the forum but wanted to send an email too. |

They only confirmed publicly stated info by BA, nothing secret that is in the NDA. I know your heart is in the right place. Call the China offices and report back with your results. Otherwise, you are just being a fudster.
Exactly. NDA does not mean 'no one can talk about anything', necessarily. An NDA specifies what cannot be talked about but it's not the same (again, not necessarily) as not being able to talk at all about a matter. Depends on the specific NDA, and I guarantee you that ba's NDA with their resellers isn't the same NDA as they have with veriwhateveritscalled. So claiming anyone has breached an NDA Is reaching a bit unless you've read that specific NDA for yourself. (And yes, I've read, and signed, a few NDA's in my time, and they all had different things I couldn't talk about in them) So, what you're saying is that during the penning of the NDA, Black Arrow purposely allowed anybody who asks Verisilicon if a contract is in place, to go ahead and tell them, and that Robert would have taken the time to read said NDA prior to replying to some anonymous email. Not only that, but the initial email only references http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/, whereupon Robert had to take the time to reference http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/minion-asic.html in his reply. I'm saying: -That NDA has a general meaning and a more specific meaning dependent on the terms of the specific NDA; -I have not read the NDA's being discussed here, and likely neither has most anyone else on this thread. |

Got email and btc is in the wallet.
Thanks steamboat, I know it took a while but I for one appreciate what you did with locking the exchange rate. Very fair and upstanding.

I'd love to see multipool personally. How are you getting the cex data? I didn't think they had a published API, or maybe I'm just behind the times  |

Okay, based on my calculation SB did peg the refund at an exchange rate of $123.50. If I multiply $123.50 by my proposed BTC refund amount I get a nice even dollar+cents amount.
I then subtract out shipping and hosting fees (100% refunded) AND I subtract out the $10/board extra I paid for fully assembled units [vs DIY kit] (100% refunded). You then divide the remaining balance by the number of boards and get $15 which is 25% of the $60 assembly cost.
It wasn't calculated exactly how I guessed it might be originally, but I was able to make the calculation make sense and match his last post outlining the refund details.
What this leaves still on the table, as mentioned by SB in the email, are the components ($35 PCB and $28.50 DIY kit/fan). Perhaps SB will be able to use those and we will get a bit more back at some (likely very distant) future date. I'm not counting on getting anything really, but it would be nice.
Regardless, if the proposed refund does actually occur, then I think the refund is equitable given the shitty circumstances. SB pegging the exchange rate at $123.50 is generous IMO and goes a long way to making up for the refund process dragging on for months. I don't see how this refund is occurring without SB dipping into his own wallet.
I kind of always figured the delay was due to him mining like hell with his klondikes to get the money together to do refunds...my suspicion is after these there won't be much in his wallet but who can say? |

I just got an email asking for verification of the btc address to send the refund to. Still reading but appears to be another step in the correct direction.
I have not checked all the percentages and such yet but looks right (I had 3 units with full assembly and testing and the refund quoted is 1.13 btc.)

I get the scrypt profit estimation on the other machines, just not the stuff from the network, I only seem to get that on the machine that's not scrypt mining.
Maybe a couple of screenshots would help illustrate the problem? Of course! Here's one of the scrypt miners. Note the network pi is seen but the profit estimations is just for this machines GPU:  Here's one of the machine that has MM installed, I plan on using the proxy on this machine soon, but right now, there's nothing hashing attached to it. But it shows the profit of (I'm presuming) the network visible pi.  Hope that makes sense - let me know if it doesn't. Sorry it took a bit to get the screenshots back to you! |

Perks is enabled on all of them and they're all pointing at coinchoose right now (too damn cheap to pay for more api calls on coinwarz  ) I get the scrypt profit estimation on the other machines, just not the stuff from the network, I only seem to get that on the machine that's not scrypt mining. |

Things look good with 2.6 so far! Thanks as always for the release.
One thought- seeing my minepeon machine in the network area makes me sad I can't better control it - is there a thought down the road of being able to actually install MuM onto a distro that works on a pi?
Also, one of my machines seems to show the expected profit from the network machines, but the other machines do not. This machine also has no mining running off it at this time (well, two drillbit thumbs, but running on cgminer because I haven't had time to make the switch). Any thoughts as to why I can't see a rollup of the expected profit off all connected devices on the network? (I thought I saw this on one of your screenshots a page or two ago)
Thanks again!

Nwoolls,
Going to try and test this today myself. As always, thanks for your hard work.
Can I make two quick suggestions?
One, I love how quick and easy it is to apply your advertised (released) updates within the app. Would it be possible to advertise your bleeding edge releases in the same way, so that we can choose to accept beta updates from within the app if we want to? With multiple machines this makes life a lot easier to apply these updates. Which brings me to my next question...
Two, apologies if I missed it, but will we be able to update MuM on our other machines remotely with this release as well?
Thanks again!

Yeah, mine was set to .200, only saw it because it was on the same MAC as the wireless bridge I had it running behind.
Mine's running great for going on 24 hours. Thanks crazyguy!

I had a couple of small holdings of coins disappear about a week ago. This happened once long ago and they fixed it, but support ticket has been open for 6 days now and still no response. Is this typical this point with their increased load?
I see the deposits still there in the records, an audit of the records should find everything missing, so trying to give the benefit of the doubt for the moment but the wait is annoying, I will admit...

Interesting. And it only ever fully crashes leaving this information in the Windows Event Viewer? Usually if it's a normal crash you will get a call stack with lines of code and line numbers.
The only XML stuff going on in MultiMiner is the configuration related bits. So as a test you could go into %appdata%\MultiMiner (put that into the address bar in Windows Explorer) and move / delete your XML configuration files.
It was the 'more detail' written out to the screen on crash, what I would have called a Dr. Watson back in the day. Deleted all the xml files and it came right up. Good call Thanks! |

Thanks for this great software and your time. Happy to enable donations on it. However, I do have one machine that I can't launch multiminer on - it worked for a few days then stopped working. Detailed error below: Description: Stopped working Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: multiminer.win.exe Problem Signature 02: 2.3.0.84 Problem Signature 03: 52c06b25 Problem Signature 04: System.Xml Problem Signature 05: 2.0.0.0 Problem Signature 06: 51e9fc46 Problem Signature 07: 283c Problem Signature 08: 124 Problem Signature 09: System.InvalidOperationException OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Any thoughts? As you can see from the OS version, it's windows 7, 64-bit. I feel like this might be a .net framework issue but I uninstalled all frameworks that I could find in programs and features, and reinstalled 4.0. Any other thoughts? |

first to it ?
Not sure, I actually sent him payment, depends on which he goes by (I think my payment may have been a minute or two after your post). |

I mean they should 'work out of the box' plus the 'omg wait everyone, the scrolls don't work at all' thing is just great.
Wondering if my batch 1 board will be shipped with everyone elses (and arrive after the US ones - buy local LOL)
Sure they should - and how long are you willing to wait while they're tested to confirm that? This went from design to production in a handful of months- that's fast. Were you willing to wait longer for a more thoroughly tested product? Your previous posts on this thread suggest differently - in fact didn't you say you were tired of waiting and sold at least one board? |

I have 1 board on a 530 watt power supply controlling 2 4 pin fans. I can't think mine is under powered
Nah, I suspect this is firmware or cgminer driver or a combination of both. |

Are you US based or elsewhere?
Either way - great QC.
If you're referring to my problem, exactly how many days did you expect them to run them for qc? I used them without issue for 12+ hours (minus the one board that wouldn't power via the miniplane, and again - I expect them to power it up and test it, all of which works fine via molex.) if they ran them longer than they did everyone here would be screaming bloody murder. As usual, gb organizers get second guessed for every breath they take and every word they say. |

Update from the overnight- two boards went zombie during the night. Was running 50:2:950. Running 52:2:850 and speeds are about 4 gh slower overall but have some errands to run today and want to minimize odds of them dying while I'm gone.
It took a full power down and reboot to get the zombies back.
When you mean full power down do you mean that you turned off the power supply and brought it back up and have a non green come back? That's one thing I haven't tried with the risk of killing my other board. Anyone get a pm back from bobsaget yet. I sent one last night and and bob hasn't been as prompt as usual. I hope that means he's on the phone with barntech trying to get a proper response out before he or barntech start trying to figure out whats going on. The zombies had a green light the entire time. Stopping and restarting cgminer had them still as zombies. Controlling machine and psu were both deprived of power and restarted. |
