Good Evening All. This is my first Rant, so if you don't want to hear about my experiences with 50BTC, please move on and skip this post....You have been warned ...

So I wanted to spread my experiences with 50BTC mining pool and their support system. Now, I am not holding my breath, but 50BTC still owes me lots of BTC. As everyone pretty much knows, they were hacked and lots of BTC was stolen, and I did have hope as 50BTC gave the image that they would repay all legitimate missing BTC through a process and time. We users just needed to be patient and all should be well. Well, I have been back and forth with support providing "proof of Miners" "specs of equipment" and etc as noted below from Support messages; basically everything they asked for I provided as much as I could.... Then after these few short messages, support just disappeared one day and its now been like over 2 months since their last communication, which was on Jan 20th!. I have since been loosing my faith in 50BTC and that I will ever see these BTC back.... So anyways, here is what support has done for me, or their lack of support:


I never have heard back from 50BTC since this message was sent to me and I have since sent support another ~15 messages/requests asking for updates, or just any type of communications at all from 50BTC.... and nothing at all!

At this point, unless 50BTC really stands up and starts to correct all of these miners accounts, I am really at a loss on why these guys don't just close shop and realize they have failed MISERABLY and lost thousands of miner's hard earned BTC!!!!

Don't get me wrong, shit happens and I know that and it would be one thing if they were actually responding to support requests/messages and giving out updates or even posting them to their support website for mass updates and actually start to pay people back, but it doesnt seem like 50BTC is doing much of anything, and this is just ridiculous from my point of view!!! I just wish there was another way of getting BTC back from 50BTC without a REAL mess with legal and etc...... Anyone?

ok, that is the end of my rant and raving !! lol, but seriously, I really do hope someone from 50BTC picks up this mess and does something with this great pool!!! This pool at one time was really solid and was packed with features, and it does look promising now with their revamp... BUT they NEED to pay back their users if they have any REAL hope of being able to make a come back into the mining pool scene with all the other pools out there now!!!

If they do not fix all of this mess ASAP and start to seriously pay its user-base back I believe its a HUGE MISERABLE FAILURE !!!! And unfortunately if they do fail, pools like this one is what really gives the naysayers and haters more power on negative parts of BTC as a whole!!.....Shitty if you ask me.....

Sorry for the really long post, but just one last question for all of you 50BTC users, has anyone gotten any of their BTC back at all from 50BTC??? Even just a fraction payment from their hack a few months ago?

Thanks for reading this long winded rant!!! Back to your normal reading

just wanted to post that I got my December order on about Jan 4th. It was shipped out on Dec 27th I believe.

These guys are VERY nice and I wish I had ordered a few units.


A++ From me and the only thing these guys need is a bit more communications, but CERTAINLY not a scammer for sure!

Thanks Marto and should you have more units avail, PM me please

I am willing to help out anyone looking to flash their jali's here in New Hampshire / Mass area. Just shoot me an PM and we can work something out. I have five units and all are running around 7.6 - 9.5Ghz each unit.

I can also help anyone out with mining in general as I have been in the scene for a while now, I haven't posted much, but am more than willing to help out if needed and have been in this scene for about 3 years now. I am fully behind BTC and would really like to see everyone at least know what it is

I posted this a few pages before with no response again. Its a December order, but there hasn't been any charges for shipping and I don't want anything to hold it up at all.....

Can you please check on my orders:

DRTYHYCSI
and
AXPOLDEBC

Both ordered on 11/21/13 and have not been asked to pay for shipping yet, and I dont want anything delayed on my part. I have also asked your support on the website a few times without a single response from ANYONE!!

Can you please tell me when I should expect these items to ship out and what my options are for the nano ones? I ordered 4 units but they are assembly and you need my chips. BUT i know have any so I think I would need to return those ones unless you can offer chips too

Thanks and PLEASE Get back to me on this....

Scratch that, its started again.. I am at a total lost, I just have no idea on what it could be.........

Any suggestions?

Well turns out it was Comcast filtering my connections.... Not sure why they did that, but all I know is that it just started working after I called Comcast and all blades are now at full speed again... That just made no sense to me..... To have the block's and BFL's working but not the blade's?

Hope that might help someone in the future.

Hello All,

I have been having a very strange issue that just suddenly came up on Friday midday around noon. I have three blades running off of a 1200Watt PSU modified to run constantly. In their current config the units have been running for about two months without issues and never skipped a beat.

All of the blades have 2x120MM High Velocity ratings on them, and one 120MM pointing at the back of each unit. They keep the blades cool. I have tried numerous things, IE: To make things simple, I have taken just a single blade and moved to different PSU's,

Different Networks (But still behind the same Comcast router but different firewall) I have also rebooted the router to make sure that wasn't it either.

Reset to factory default settings but jumping the pins on the board.

Changed Network Cables and switches

Changed desktops and proxy servers, also tried to use bfgminer proxy as well, but it all does the same thing. The blade will start to ramp up, hits somewhere between 2.5-5K MHz hashing....Then it will start to slow to eventually 0 within a few seconds....

I am at a loss, anyone? Again I have three units and all did the same thing at the same time.... I really dont see how all three units would die at the same time, but I guess you never know. I just hope they arent dead, they are all running at the stock 10-11GHz speeds before this happened..

I also would like to note that from the same machine the is running the proxy software, I have 2BFL Japs, and 27 Block Erupters going to the same pool address and I have even tried different pools, hostnames, IP directly, and still no change on the blades, all else works great in bfgminer or cgminer too...I am trying to use only BFL due to the proxy build into it.....

thanks again!!

Has anyone had an issue where the PADs for the oscillator came off of the PCB?

On two of the 20 units I did the 16Mhz/1.2K mods on, two out of the four pads for the oscillator came off with the SMD??.....


So two casualties out of the 20..... lol

Anyone had this happen to them, and has ANYONE been able to get them to work again with replacing the pads? I can upload pics shortly if anyone needs or wants to see it... This happen to one of the older units and one of the newest versions of the USB miners.

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, I have mine running on the 14 too and with high cooling as well. I was just wondering if anyone has tested them further than the 14MHz one. All of my cores are running around 1.201 as well. Has anyone tested their limits? I only have one, so I dont really want to kill it testing this out on it. If anyone else has sucess, I wouldnt mind trying it then... lol

Just got myself all of the SMD rework station and all kinds of goodies in, just waiting on my assortment of Resisters and Oscillators to come in from China.... Next week hopefully. I will be modding about 30 units of the USB ones, and will have extra left over after to mess with the blade .... extra 3.8GH hashing here I come

Does anyone know if the oscillators on the Blades can be changed like the USB versions.

I know there are two different versions, 14 and 16MHz on the boards now which gives 10~Ghz and 13~Ghz
The voltages are adjustable and tunable via adjustable resisters on the boards.

I am just wondering if I could change the High side to say 18MHz and tune the voltage. Anyone have any experience on the Blades?

Thanks in advance and I will open another topic on that, but wanted to bounce the idea on here first since its pretty much the same hardware in both units I believe.

Any chance we can get the STL file from you so I can print out just the stands? I am being lazy but I suppose I could just measure and make a new one, but just wondering if you would put up on thingiverse.com?

Great design though!

I can't seem to find the area where you can hardcode the frequency to set number, IE my jallys get up to 266 and 274 on each one. I would like to get them up to like 280 and see what happens from there and tune as needed.

Thanks for all the rest of the info!

hey all, just wanted to say thank you!!! to the OP! This stuff is great, lol.

So I have two jally's and both have been upgraded to the 1.2.5 Firmware. I started with the image provided, but in the end compiled by own version of the firmware. However, the first questions I have is that to matter the index setting, 7,8,or 9 the hash rate does not change on the miners. Not sure why the changes I make are not uploading to the Jally. I know I have chosen the correct image when compiled to load up the jally, but something just is not right.

Also, I believe the chips I have a "lower" quality chips, as one is maxing out aroung 7.8 and the other around 7.2 with a higher error rate than the other, here is the

GetInfo result for Jally 1:

And here is Jally 2 GetInfo:

Any idea on how to get all the engines running on the first Jally so it can match the others performance? I see in the other precompiled images, there was something done to perform less checks on the procs, but not sure on all of it, just the index. Anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance and thanks for everyones hard work!!!

So, I am trying to ask a question in the Jally flashing to 1.2.5, but in order to do that, I must post here I guess.

I have been in the BitCoin mining arena since Sep of last year or so, almost a full year in a month or so. In total, I have about 16 Block Erupters, 2 Jally's running around 7.5GHz, and a few ATI cards kicking out there.

Have been lurking on this forum for a while now, and decided its time to start getting involved on here. I also, I wanted to give an overview on what I have been working on and to show the community I am not spambot or script kiddie or whatever,

My current total hashing speed on BTCGuild is around 22-24GH/s.

Well I think that about covers it, hope this is enough to get me able to post in the correct place about the jallies and the fun times ahead with the little guys.
