The Chinese can do what ever they want. it sucks, but sadly we will continue buying miners from China. I don't think this is going to stop many people.

does anyone know how to remove the logo on the LCD screen?

Well that sucks, I found it hard to believe that someone was able to get extra blades. Usually the manufactures don't send out spare parts like that.

Do you hear rattling noise inside? one of the modules could have come loose and banged up the PI
does this unit have an LCD screen on it? sorry i didnt read through the posts

hey one of my miners is defective. It doesn't get an IP address. I just plugged the second one it, and it came right up.
it is possible that it is set to a static IP address. plug a monitor (hdmi or composite) into the PI and you will be able to get the iP address that way |

I got a unit before this batch with 5 modules. How do I overclock it?
I'm not quite sure how to overclock these. I would assume you need to SSH into the Rasp Pi and modify the cgminer config file, as mentioned by someone else in the thread. Anyone else able to help here? The instructions I got: "As the machine does not open interface for overclocking settings, you need modify the cgminer parameters listed in /boot/www/index.php, it is said that the hash rate could up to 1.2T with the sufficient power supply after overclocking. We are working on that to evaluate whether it is possible" 1.2Th is impossible and the reason why you got no instructions on how to overclock the Dragon units is because it will go up in smoke if you push it (Cheap-ass components) This is on your own risk: (aka hardcore miner mode)How to overclock a Dragon 1Th unit:Turn it off, then on again. SSH into the pi Locate the CGminer folder Create a .sh , name it to whatever you want (nano Overclock.sh <-- just a example) Add: sudo ./cgminer -o "1" -u 2 -p bac --no-submit-stale --tempCut 70 --real-quiet --queue 1 --cs 9 --stmcu 0 --diff 5 --api-listen --api-network --A1Pll 800 : Keep the ", add pool adress 2: Wallet or Username, depends on which pool you use 800: Default clocksetting, you can push it to 850Mhz but no more. Save the file Now you need to install screen for the pi, to keep the resource running even when you logout of the pi. sudo apt-get install screen
screen bash Now you´re in screen Locate the CGminer folder Now you need to run the .sh sh Whateveryounamedthefileas.sh Press CTRL + A + D to close screen You´re still connected to the pi via SSH. Now you´re not connected to the pi anymore and your Dragon is running the chips in overclocked mode. Don´t connect to the web frontend! (If you do, you need to start over from step 1 again) Check your hash status via the pool. IMPORTANT: If you got the 32 chip version it´s already clocked to 900Mhz (Instead of more chips they used a little more expensive components to handle the over clock, but saved a bunch of money since the A1 is more expensive). DO NOT EVEN TRY TO OVERCLOCK. Add blades instead.If you got the 40 chip version you can push it to 850Mhz as long as the unit is in a cold room. The 850Mhz setting makes the Dragon pull 1000-1100 watt, so don´t expect the stock PSU to survive to long (unless you got the 2x650w psu version) but should give you 50-100Ghz more to play with. If you turn off the unit or experience power outtake, just start screen on the pi and run the .sh again and you´re back on over clocked chips again. Say thank you and send me a beer here: 1Nm46UJo57NAuwA9XdAoaYQpUk4Phg2Ueu  EDIT: Thanks for the beer anon! (I like beer, so keep it coming if you feel that this guide helped you to earn some more coins ) Edit 2: Cleaned the how to up a little. Added some text so now anyone with a little knowledge should be able to over clock. You can create multiple .sh for different Mhz settings and pools ex Eligius.sh, Bitminter.sh, Ghash.sh and so on. Can anyone help me? i followed these instructions and I get this error when I try to start CGminer [2014-03-24 05:50:24] ./cgminer: --A1Pll: unrecognized option i am running cgminer 3.9.0. i have the batch with 5 modules |

has anyone figured out how to overclock the "gen1" blades? can it be done? should it be done? Should I add a power supply?
I cannot find any info on the overclocking. Oh, and if someone can figure out the logo on the LCD screen....Id pay for that.

Miner arrived today as claimed by pcfli. This thing screams like a jet engine, and weighs as much as one. Will have to replace with something quieter, and I thought the Antminers were loud. Also, for US people, have a spare PSU AC cord rated at 10A or greater for a 1000W PSU, the original AC cord is China CPCS-CCC (Type I). Luckily I had an extra EVGA Gold 1000W PSU not being used, so I used the cord from that. Interface is all in Chinese, but luckily when on, the front screen tells you its local LAN IP. Thank GOD for Google Translate, I had it configured and hashing in less than 5 minutes once but pcfli supplied documentation beforehand. Hashing at 1Th/s as claimed on Eligius: http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1JcW46otG6dFXMus3snVMTu6pZoymmS8uEI will post pics and a full review later today. All you need to do to change to english is change a single PHP file on the pi can you post more info on how to do this? links, etc. Thank you While you can change a single PHP file to make the interface in english there were a lot more problems than that present. For one there is not autostart/autorestart and the cgminer process was started directly from the php button(BAD). I ended up completely overhauling the interface based off of some other cgminer php UI files floating around https://github.com/jameshilliard/28nm-www . Whoever made the stock GUI and pi image did not really know what they were doing IMO. Prochedure: ssh into raspberry pi using the IP on the screen or an ip scanner, its IP should be between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 default username is "pi" and default password is "raspberry" you can either use sudo to make these changes or just make a root account To make a root account: then enter your password you can then use a GUI tool such as winscp to move files around copy or clone my git repo to /var/www you will then need to place the startup scripts and other files in the right places simply follow the matching paths for my var opt and etc folders from the root directory and place those files in their respective folders you will need to chmod all of those files in var opt and etc to 755 you will probably need to chmod /var/www recursively to 777 you will then need to run: sudo update-rc.d S99cgminer start you will probably get an error but it will still work after this command From there you will see the new webui with minersource in the top left hand corner. Please submit a pull request if you come up with any improvements, I hacked this together in about 12 hours so I'm sure I missed some stuff. Currently it will not set a webui password properly, although you couldn't do that to begin with, that should be an easy fix but I just haven't had the time to go through it. I haven't figured out how to get the IP to update on the screen either with the UI I made. does anyone how to manipulate the information on the LCD screen? How to make the lcd screen show the hashrate, pool, etc. I looked through all the files on the raspberry pi and cant find anything |

All 5 of my antminers are running and I'm getting 1.51 to 1.6 ghash/s out of them however the site only shows a little over 2ghash/s. Is it issues with the site?
Time to get a little more hashing power?? check out titanminer.com good product, good support and good price |

Who thinks we will find a few more less then three hour blocks in the last 24 hours. I guess you mean next 24 hours. Pool luck 166%, 84%, 90%, one 10+h block and one ~6h, pool ~777Th, network ~27Ph The pool should find ~4 blocks daily, we have 11 ... if we find the next block before 2014-02-14 17:00 we are fine ... or our next round should be less than 20h to keep 100% daily luck. To recover our weekly luck we need to have (approximately) round 21672 out of the stats page by the end of 15-th or otherwise twice the normal rounds per day ... on average 3h rounds, so yes we should have few more 'less than 3h' rounds in the next 72h and probably at least one in the next 24hThis i like to read, some nice rational logic. Actually makes sense. I dont think it will take 72 hours to get back to 30day luck. More like 1week. Where do you guys think the difficulty level will be next changeup? THat is what I worried about most...... |

In the long run... staying in one pool makes the most sense... especially this one, since Slush's pool penalizes hopping by nature.
[/quote]
Im at vegas now.. I brought with me 500, as of RIGHT now i am up to 1,000. Should I walk away or keep gambling until i make 2,000?
Anyhow. I am not hopping. I have been with slush since I started mining 3 weeks ago, so my luck % is roughly 90%. I actually like the pool and how it well it pays out(when it does find a block).
But honest question to everyone here....Who thinks we will find a few more less then three hour blocks in the last 24 hours. Again, I feel like we have one REALLY good day, then 2-3 crappy ones.
Anyhow all of this is talk, I am just killing time at work.

Now that we had our lucky streak, doesn't it logically make sense to move over to another pool?
Don't ever go to Las Vegas. Why not? Win some money then walk away....... isnt that the smartest thing to do? Really ive been watching the pool carefully, log in like ever hour at work (its addicting). I get it, in the long run it should even out......(well should)...... but i also notice that there will be one good day (kind of like today) then it will suck for 3-4 days.... Honestly, who REALLY thinks we will hit a few more >3 hour blocks in the next 24 hours??? Lets have a vote |

5 quick blocks in a row....wow, I was trying to change my 4 miners over to a different pool about 4 hours ago, but couldn't remote into them. Thank you Technical glitch.

Hey Guys, I am looking to sell some of my mining equipment anyone interested?
I have 4 200gh Avalon Miners. Two of them are new and ahve been running for only 3 days. The other two have been running for 3 weeks at 205+- GH with no hiccups. Really good machines compared to what Ive read about the ant miners dropping GH over time.
It is time for me to liquidate my investments and buy some toys..
My loss is your gain. Im asking for $2,350 or 3.91 BTC for each unit.
PM me if you are interested.
