He's got a DL issue for the moment, which will make getting around a bit of an issue. For the moment, we've recruited him to help with some board diagnostics from his location until he can figure our his DL. We appreciate Jason's help and look forward to having him come up soon.
Somehow, it still ceases to amaze me how you continue to provide private information about your customers. You might as well just come out and state that so-and-so has a DWI, or was involved in some vehicular homicide, or some other event that occurred for him to not have a valid DL.

LOL.. No DWI (I don't even drink.)... and no Vehicular homicide... except for me killing my van, my wagon, my hatch-back... They deserved it! (Not everyone in the world who is able to drive, has a drivers license.)

I am a customer, and now also a "private contractor", assisting AMT. They have not divulged anything personal about me, which could not have been found out through any public records. (However, this "private contractor", me, is not asking for anything in return, though, fair compensation was offered. I am not rich, I am not poor, but I am willing to stand behind them and my friends, doing what needs to be done, to help. This BTC community didn't survive by going at each-others throats. It has survived and thrived off sacrifice in a belief.) Tongue

The reason why my limitations of myself not "going there to work directly at the moment", was because of my lack of a current drivers license. In Florida, where I live, I do not need a drivers-license to get around. I walk, ride a bike, or ride my solowheel everywhere. If I were to go to PA, I would have to drive every day, to go to the various locations, to assist them. The assistance I am offering, does not need my physical presence, so arrangements have been made to keep me located in Florida, and assisting them from here. (Think of it as "outsourcing", it was cheaper and more convenient that way, for both of us.)

It is just a matter of me getting my drivers-license again, which simply involves me paying for it, and the issue related to it. (P.S. Never leave an uninsured dead vehicle in your driveway with an expired tag on it, where the state can see it. Seems that is illegal in Florida, and comes with a penalty. Just another way for the state to make money, doing nothing.) Tongue

In any event, should further assistance be needed, in the areas that I am best suited for, it would simply take one visit to the DMV to get my license. Until then, my State-ID has suited me fine for the last four years. (Saves a lot of money, not paying for gas, oil, repairs, insurance, car-payments.)

In addition, I will be attempting to provide some useful video, of both technical and non-technical aspects of the 1.2THs miners they make.

P.S. To the ones who are attempting to sue AMT, you are hurting the customers, more than AMT. For no gains, for them, you, or us. Sorry, but that is just taking two steps backwards, in my opinion. Don't trust the lawyers, they are in the business of making themselves money, not you. (Don't be fooled by the gains "they made themselves", ask them "what gains did you make for your clients". You will see that they fall silent, when asked that question. The answer is "none", no "gains" were made for the clients.)

P.P.S. SPARTA! (#300... Come on people, that should have been in the first post on this page!)

Do these have a web interface aside from an IP setup, and pool/password menus? Would be nice. (Ants do). All kinds of info including network traffic is available. Also allows for all the usual 'ux type shells, system maint., & other goodies.

Yes, but the rigs do not come with the little LCD display because they are mounted to the hard drive trey in the case - mounted either with electrical tape or double sided mounting tape. Also we've seen the little LCD screen flop from side to side because of length of the connector cable, and have shorted the rasPI a few times when the screen accidentally hits the RasPI because the screens sides are all metal. That's the main reason we do not include the screen in the Kit, it's frustrating to get the screen to sit properly on the table and is generally an accident waiting to happen.  The only purpose of the the little LCD display is to show the ip address of the user interface and the current hashrate.

Upon going to the IP address in your browser (Don't bother with internet explorer, use any other browser) you will see the user interface.

Accessing the user interface:

Username: admin
Password: admin

Accessing the ip address without the little LCD screen:

Plug an HDMI cable into the rasPI and start the miner by plugging in the cable. You'll see a big raspberry with a loading bar on the bottom. After which you'll see the root login:

Access cgminer of AMT 1.2Th miner:

username: root
pass: amt

#killall cgminer (the miner is programmed to start immediately, that's why we kill cgminer upon login, as a rule the miner starts running with the credentials you add in the cgminer settings page (Click Settings - then click Cgminer)

#ifconfig

You'll see several addresses, the first being a local network ip address, usually starting with 192.168.1.(some number here)  or 10.1.10.(some number here).  Use that address to find the user interface in your browser.

If you don't have an HDMI cable and monitor free, you can check your router's admin panel for new ip addresses detected after plugging in the network cable and plugging in the miner.

Remember: From the time you plug in your miner, your miner is mining, so make sure all your fans are running and proper cooling is administered. A1 chips heat up quick, and you do not want to over heat your miner.

Workaround encase you don't want to start mining immediately and want to test the Raspberry pi and user interface setup first:

Unplug the GPIO ribbon cable from the back plane before plugging in the network cable and starting the miner. Login to the rasPI with the credential above and get the IP address first, then go to the Ip address in your browser, configure your settings (pool settings, speed, etc) and save. Then power off the miner, plug in the GPIO ribbon cable to the back plane, connect the backplane to the hashing modules - (make sure all the pins from the back plane connectors are in the right slots - look above and below each pin/connector on each module - plugging in the backplane wrong can short hashing modules which may result in the miner not seeing the module.) Then power on your miner and you should be good to go via the user interface or ssh login.

More to come on that for sure, but that was a quick response with a bit more details for those that receive their kit encase we don't get a video up within the next few days.


OH and what Linux distro is this using? I had hoped to set up powerstat on there for power monitoring on the machine itself.


Does the DIY kit include a Raspberry PI ?

I will get a full working AMT 1.2T in a day or two. I am thinking about reselling it for 6k worth of BTC. I am in North NJ and available for meetup. This would be a good deal being that they sell for 15k on ebay right now.  There is nothing wrong with it, it has the power supply and may even have the 6 board backplane, I don't know. I just have bigger fish to fry at this time...

Regarding this suit.

First, we have not been served or sent any documents/legal papers, or formal notices of suit. Currently the plaintiffs legal team, but mostly Mr. Lenell has been calling around trying their hardest (again we believe mostly Craig Lenell) to get any media to publish this and credit this as legitimate, but more over the soul purpose is to notify AMT customers and ask them to get involved on their side, to accumulate the damages in question so hopefully they can win more from us. If enough people join, and the damages are enough to cover the potential winnings, we will be served.

If you'd like to join the class, please contact the legal team here: http://www.chimicles.com/

There are a few outcomes that will come of this civil lawsuit:

1. The plaintiffs win, and force the company into bankruptcy.
2. The plaintiffs loose, or the case is dismissed fairly quickly.
3. The case is tried for a long time, costing thousands in legal fees on both sides ( which the majority of the class will not contribute to ) by which time everyone's miner will already be delivered.

4. (most probable)  Mr. Lenell will annoy and harass the crap out of everyone involved, overstep his welcome and eventually piss people off until they are fed up with him and quit. <- this one we know from experience.

Are we worried? Sure we are, we've given our hearts and best efforts to this business.

Are we going to drop everything, stop building/shipping miners and dedicate our time to lawyers and this case like Mr. Lenell has. No we wont, its not our style. We have a job to do, and we're going to finish it one way or another, period. We were due to be on the expo today, booth 401, we were going to demo our 2.4's, but in light of this news we felt its best to go to Toronto instead.

No one believes you anymore.
i do! :-P and i even still get rick rolled.

Well, then you sir are an idiot (no offense). What do you have to show for your 6k spent? Please enlighten me.

This was an investment in an nonexistent product, sir. Just like many campaigns in Kickstarter, that didn't manage to bring the product to market. You sir are the "idiot" ( no offence) for being greedy (by buying a "money maker") and not being a Man that stands firmly with the choices he made. This was a risky investment, thats it. The Law suit will definitely not bring us our 6k back in the next year or two, For Sure , neither are we gonna get more , only less.

If the lawsuit is filed, amt will Not Deliver anything as they will totally give up and declare bankruptcy, cause its The easiest way and we will Get Nothing.........

Best option is to have a little faith and stop being a bitch going to mommy (government) to save my greedy ass......

Life is equal for all and its best to be a good, smart and patient person...

No Lawsuits!  Give them Time , they only ask for that ! File a lawsuit if they Never deliver.... Patience and some balls guys ...

Over a thousand watt, a brain dead airflow design and just one fan that does anything useful. Good luck with that. Biomech's little 80GH miner lasted what, 2 months? Im giving this 2 weeks tops before something fries.

well, half of it still works... OUT of the case!

Wish I could say you were wrong.

I'll put a huge fan on the side and open the other side as well...wouldn't want the miner to fry. with a closed box and just turning it on... it might not even last a couple of days. I think its better to be smart and Fan up Cheesy

Do we know if Phin is alright?

i just spoke with phin 15 minutes ago. He is fine.


Is he happy ?

AMT is legit... I am picking up my order now.  I am at the assembly.  Posting pics soon.

No kidding here is an opportunity to show pics and really show that its happening. This is a good PR opportunity right there. Post up pics at the office picking up the miner. kinda like this
http://cointerra.com/pr-cointerra-begins-shipment-terraminer-iv-worlds-fastest-bitcoin-miner/

That was a great showcase....figures if AMT is legit they can do the same and start turning it around for new customers. And maybe learn from this experience and perhaps improve on their process of communication. It will make things easier for everyone going forward.

Also show us stats, if it actually is running at 1.2Ths or better? Since there were claims it was supposed to be 1.5, its unclear what we were getting. But yea pics or it didnt happen lol. Keep the exif data intact to validate.

Very relieving, post some pics or even better a video. I hope you told them to hurry up and Ship the Stuff Smiley I would love to help but am extremely far away. If anybody can help them ship  faster , it would be awesome for all of us ! The thing is that they will deliver whenever they are ready, if anyone can help, do. So much trash has been said about AMT that If they had the miners ready, they would ship right away... I support AMT and hope they get it done. I lost 2 months of hashing time but at least let me get my machine !

Be supportive , it will benefit the situation!

Than Next week it is Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I wrote that  6 grand off right away... I mean... its a Money Maker... Worth the shot though. Im sure they'll deliver
11  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official Thread: AMT on: March 12, 2014, 01:50:48 PM
This is a "great" read... Not enough time in the world to read this...

Does anybody know when the 1.2 machines will be shipped ?

I ordered 3 months ago and AMT customer service pisses me off more than the forum .... any ideas ?  No nonsense please
