Hi guys! I am one of those who fall for the promise of a great mining experience with these Coin Craft Desk units. I ordered back in Sept 2013 for the first batch and it came until May 2014. Complete disappointment. Now I'm struggling to get any ROI, but anyway I'm not here to discuss this.

The CCD is already running but my concern is that when I setup the miner to Turbo Mode it doesn't get to the promised Hashing speed using 4 modules of 200GH each. The more intresting thing is that when logging in to the CCD dashboard it says 900GHs+ and when looking at my Bitminter dashboard it reports 600-700+GHs. Less power than when setting the unit in Nominal. I thougth that this was because of the mining pool. I gave a try to BTC Guild and got the same outcome. Less power than what the miner reports in its LCD and dashboard.

Previously I've sent an email to the Bitmine "Support" (sorry for the quotes, but if there are/is any Bitmine member is in this post, you guys always give false expectations and never come out with a solution) and what I've got as answer is that they are "working" on a "new firmware release" which I have never seen or heard of since I bought the unit.

Giorgio and/or whoever else is responsible for this company I'm really disappointment at you guys. You stated that you will not be the next BFL Sh..T  Huh but you are getting there (or are already there). Unexpected delays on product deliveries and refunds  Angry. Changing policies at the last minute to fit your needs  Angry. Poor support and communication skills  Angry.

If anyone in this post is able to make the CCD achieve it's Turbo hashing power and make it recognizable by the mining pool please let me know. Also if the so acclaimed "Firmware Update" is available somewhere in the Internet I would appreciate if you can share it in this post. I tried googling it and all point to Bitmine.ch un-updated website.

Cheers!

PS. This unit will work pretty cool as a high electricity consuming home heater if it don't make any ROI. Can I convert it to a microwave or some kind of convection oven? At least it would heat food or do popcorns. Just a thought.

If you read about 30 backwards you would notice that nobody has gotten the miner to run at a speed that Bitmine has originally promised with their "up to" declaration they had.
you still can find some better settings than the normal settings where both power and hash is somewhat parallel and reasonable.

I'm a a newbie on this hardware thing. Can you elaborate more on how can I find better settings?

Thanks!

After a period of back and forth with the Bitmine guys and requesting to talk directly with Mr Massarotto. I got my tracking number, but for some reason the package is stuck in the european continent.

I placed my order in Sept '13. So do the math and you'll get the ETA on your pre-orders/orders.

Pretty bad for the Bitmine guys whoe are doing a terrible job at communicating with customers and estimating the delivery dates.

No further buys from this company.

Hey Giorgio.

Any updates on how the CoinCraft Desk and CoinCraft Rigs miners are coming?

We don't want another BFL experience. Sorry if I'm being an ass here but I think we all deserve to be treated respectfully as customers.

Would be great if you can post something about the production line or something to keep your customers updated.

Thanks

Hey guys. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I'm about to place an order for 10GH, but I'm not sure for how long this power will be mine.

When you buy GH/s is for a period of time? Are they yours until you sell them to another miner? Or are they renting the power, let say for a day, week, month?

Thanks

Hi giorgiomass.

I tried to send you an email to info [at] bitmine.ch but apparently your email is flooded because I received an email with delivery status undelivered.

Anyway. In Sept 26th I placed a reservation queue order which then I paid and got the confirmation message of my payment in Sept 30th. My Order No. is #1975.

I have a couple of questions.

1. What's my place in the production line? Am I the customer 1975 or 975?
2. When is the delivery date? I didn't receive any message stating my delivery date in my order. And I read all your pages and in the customer protection program states the following

Once your order is paid and confirmed, it enters in the shipping queue where you will be assigned a number that denotes what position you have and the agreed shipment date.

I really appreciate your comments.

Thanks
Hello,

I will research your mail and answer trough it asap.

best regards

I got your answer!

Thanks

Hi.

I already order one of their units and so,far they've been really communicative. The only caveat is that they are located in Switzerland so don't expect to get a quick answer when contacting them via email.

Hope this gives you a peace of mind.  Grin

Cheers!

FINALLY!!! It's working!

I discovered that my modem has a unfunctioning port where the blade was connected. I plugged theblade in a different port. Change its IP settings. Plugged it into my router and boom! It worked.

Now there's a strage behaviour. In my browser i see thatits hashing at 3-5GH/s but when I o to my worker details, its reporting solid 10GH/s.

Is this something related to my browser?

Any tought appreciated.

Thanks

I think you've got it set up right, but you don't want to go to the router setting page. You need to go to the dedicated blade settings page. The blade works like a router, you access all of its settings through a browser by typing in its IP address (and for the blades through port 8000). So rather than going to the router page you want to go to the blade's page, which is 192.168.1.254:8000. Type that in to your browser and you'll reach the settings. From there you can change it's IP address, port, pool settings, etc...

You sound as if you're still learning about the blade, which is fine, I've only just crossed that bridge, but resetting the blade is a last resort. Read some more forum posts on here, even search for stuff, it helped me no end. You can reset the blade by touching the two plates above the ethernet port labelled (You guessed it) "Reset". They're numerically number, touch 2+3 to do a full reset and 1+2 for a partial reset (Retaining your settings). This will bring the blade back to having the default settings, which can be accessed from the default IP address I said above.

You can't access the blade by hooking it up to a computer, you can only access it via IP address like a router.

I think that's what you were after, I'm sorry if it's not, your a tad vague in your question

Smiley

Thanks the answer goastler. Let me elaborate more on this.

The blade is already hooked to a router. I was accessing the router page to figure what IP address was assigned by the DHCP server to the blade. But when i got to the router's client list the blade is not listed there (at least that is what it seems). Meaning there's no IP assigned to the blade nor the router is detecting the MAC address from the device.

Now I've tried accessing the following IP addresses (192.168.2.241, 192.168.2.251) but is not finding anything.

Let me remark that this blade is brand new and I'm setting it up from scratch. I don't know if the guy I bought this from set different settings (which pointed me to this forum in the first place).

I really appreciate if you can tell me. Should the subnet be 192.168.2.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx? Maybe that's the issue.

Thanks.

Hi Guys.

I'm a total newbie on the bitcoin community, although I started mining with my GPU, the jumped to the first gen USB miners; I recently bought one ASIC miner 2nd gen blade.

To power the blade I'm using a 450W PSU and is wired based on this forum's guide. And for references i will not add more blades nor overclock this one.

I can not tell if this is working well or not because the blade when is initially turned on the green led light turns on and afterwards the Ethernet port shows activity, but when I go to my router's admin page there is no additional clients other than the ones already there.

Is there a way to hook up this blade to a pc/mac and change its settings? Is there a reset button to erase any preloaded setting? And if there is. How can I reset the settings?

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks
