I tried that and it simply won't turn on without all 4 boards plugged in. I also tried moving the remaining three connectors to different places and no luck, still won't turn on. I have the latest firmware too if that makes any difference.
eta: I tried something potentially risky and swapped the controller with another C1 that has 4 good boards. Seems to have fixed it. It works now with any combination of boards connected with the other controller. Kinda strange but I'm not complaining. Thanks for the input VirosaGITS. I appreciate it.

I have a C1 with one dead board. I took it out and it no longer powers up. If I plug it in, the unit powers up, but the board doesn't hash. I know whats wrong with it, there are tiny black components under the heat sink that came off. I wouldn't mind fixing it but I have no idea what they are and searching for the numbers on them turned up nothing. That's a separate issue though (wouldn't mind input on that anyhow). Is there some way to get it to boot if I take one or two boards out? My intentions are to take out two boards, the broken one and one of the working ones. I've looked through all the settings on the web interface and can find nothing and I've searched google and here and found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, I have considered this and I will be okay with receiving 0.15 BTC upon successful arrival.
I'd really like to use an escrow service, and I'd really like 0.02 BTC today and 0.13 BTC upon successful arrival because it's gonna take a few bucks to ship the mflb.
That's after I upload a VIDEO of me sealing it in an envelope and, within the same video, dropping it in the mail box. I will provide tracking tonight, too. My mom provided me with like $20 in stamps, so shipping is no issue and I'll pack it well.
I will be fine with 0.05 BTC before I upload; 0.05 BTC after video is confirmed; 0.05 BTC when item is received.
0.05 BTC is bloody $15-$20; moreover, why would I go to this effort for such a small sum. You will, as I said, receive my ID (and a pic of it next to my face) with my personal facebook as part of this.
So you need money for shipping it, even though your mom gave you postage? |

I don't know much about those specifically, but what are your temps like? Maybe it's overheating, or thinking it's overheating, and resets as a "precaution".

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Comment: Signed by Bitcoin Armory v0.93.2 Hey bitcointalk, this is the "original" or previous owner of master-P account on these forums. I had sold the account to an anonymous offer in August 2015. Along with my forum account, the keybase account "masterp" was also sold as the buyer wanted to continue to assume my identity and provide escrow. The private keys to the wallets I used for escrow were also included in the sale so the new owner could continue providing escrow as I already had some transactions/campaigns taking place. I am signing this message from an address I used to stake back in March, before I sold the account and was not included in the sale since the buyer would have no real use for it. The address is 16Ag7a28TfKwUQiUKcQuvTxATJM5khmX5p Posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg10821951#msg10821951I don't think I can really do much to help, but just wanted to post this here since someone on my steam friend list informed me of this situation. I don't necessarily partake on these forums anymore, and don't intend to continue.I apologize for selling my account, in hindsight I see how selfish of an act it was. But I was at an all time low and I didn't exactly have much time to keep participating and help escrow for these forums anymore. The amount of money I was offered for my "bitcointalk identity" was enough to help get me through a couple of really rough months.

The singlehanded best feature of Bitcoin is that it is extremely badass. There, I said it for everyone else. The secret is out.

Today i have withdrawn around 55$ in my bank to show my father and family that bitcoin is like money. I am waiting my father to come and see my bank account. He have sayed he will give me equal amount of money if i can show him. Yes in this way i am also encouraging my family and other people to adopt bitcoin.
That's pretty cool of him. I've been in and out of the Bitcoin scene since it's start. More and more, over the years, I've been overwhelmingly convinced that it is worthwhile. I believe there is a need to get more people to accept Bitcoin as something very real and useful. It will help with the growth of the community and help to insure the future use and growth of Bitcoin in general if we show people that they can be a part of it. I do not have the money to do something like this alone, but what I do have is passion, tenacity, and of course time. Personally, I see a huge opportunity here and hope others do to.
I wold suggest that you must give more detailed data about such important thing. Even if you will wanted some nuts everyone will thought twice before giving those. Not because of their cost but because don't see valid reason and argumentation to give those. And not when it is talked about money. You tell that have a long experience with bitcoin. Since its first day. And you are entered in its forum only two weeks ago. How is possible this? A first bitcoiner who join its forum after 6 years. Then at your third post in its forum you ask money. Another question-mark in the mind of everyone: without telling any word about bitcoin and giving any kind of data except the above three-four rows, ask money using the name of bitcoin? If I would be a normal person, my thoughts about you (and this doesn't mean that can be true; would be only mine) would be that you are an impostor. Someone which make as its third post a post with four-five rows in which request to have money for something "big" which can be read in other tens of posts make before its enter in bitcointalk, cannot have other name. But I am not normal. I am a strange person. So I don't think that you are an impostor. As a strange person I would advice you that, to ask money, needed more than your rows. Much, much more. Give a good detailed project and a very good plan about what you want to achieve and in which way (exactly and step by step) think to realize that. Then put all here in this thread or in a new one and then try to ask money. After reading those things all the strange people (because the normal ones wouldn't believe again you having this kind of experience before) can read what you have invented and, if will like it, maybe will give you the needed money. Or that they can. I understand you completely and no offense taken. As I said, I've been in and out. I'm a very private person in general. I don't typically come to forums and voice my opinions, and this is the only forum I'm even part of. I'm not asking for money. I'm gauging interest in this and seeing what peoples' opinions are. As for a detailed plan, this is part of the process for building it. Everything has to start somewhere. In your poll you ask if you would have support for that you want to do and in your post you tell to not have money to do alone that you want to do. As I wrote in my previous post EVERY normal people would understand this as a request for money. Only the strange people like me don't.  As such I have no doubts in your good intentions. But you most know (if you really don't know this) that what you want to do, is the most normal and common thing that needed to do regarding bitcoin. Known by everyone which is involved with it even within few days. And learn from the beginners as a first thing about it. So nothing special or new in your words or in your idea for which you want support (and according to normal people even money). If I would borrow the words of a very big writer I would tell: nothing new under our "bitcoin" sky. Anyhow to many speaks and only few acts. The number of those who achieve that they want to realize with their projects is irrelevant. Maybe you are irrelevant. So go ahead, show to everyone that you are such kind of people and forget my posts. I wouldn't call you strange for your thinking or opinions. From my point of view, I think I'm mostly talking to people like you here. The fact that it is such a normal concept and talked about constantly only shows the further need for it. I'm not good at talking in general. You can look at that from many different angles. Most of my life I have had to accomplish everything alone, but ruminating on this for so long and seeing how big of an issue it is has made me realize that I need to ask for help to be able to be successful. I won't forget your posts either. Feel free to post more if you wish. You state valid points and give me insight. Thank you. |

right now bitcoin is just an opportunity for some people out there ,it creates some jobs around it
like miners, some people paid to talk about it, some people may run imposible barely-legal activities with it,
we here have some perhaps good time or fun to talk about it BUT there is nothing more
for people who work and earn decent money already bitcoin is just "a high-tech thing"
as i am reading from many random sources all mainstream merchants are keeping distance from it
too complicated , far away from being a everyday currency and the funny thing is
when serious players start to adopt bitcoin it will propably end as everything else >>
we ask for easier transactions, we ask for safer wallets,exchanges etc etc
in reality we ask to make bitcoin like any other normal currency but that is nonsense
What remains is the promise of bitcoin price run very high so any bitcoin owner can get
flat money profit ,like a lottery ticket with better maths supporting it "Thing"
promotion can go like this :
did u want gambling in non-regulated online casinos? did u want to try ponzies and other scams ?
did u want to buy collectibles like physical BTC coins and such ?
did u want to risk some real money into something you cant really understand ?

A lot of this is what I want to change. You've summed up a huge portion of what motivates me. I'm not looking to promote a get rich quick scheme, or even necessarily a way to make money at all. I don't promote illegal activity or dodgy practices. Mainly I'm looking to make people more comfortable with bitcoin. I've been in and out of the Bitcoin scene since it's start. More and more, over the years, I've been overwhelmingly convinced that it is worthwhile. I believe there is a need to get more people to accept Bitcoin as something very real and useful.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. Reminds me of those lessons to teach older people on how to use computers etc. But takes alot of time and effort to have a large impact
I don't mind the time and effort at all. When I believe in doing something, I stop at nothing to accomplish it. It's the same concept as those lessons, yes. This is only part of my big picture though. I aim to develop an organization that can do this on a larger scale than just one person, eventually having promoted events and such. I aim big, and I don't expect results overnight. You do realise that every market has players that have far more of the asset than the rest of the market. They are called market makers. These could be institutions or governments. The guys that control BTC price, will always have more BTC than everyone, they aren't looking to make money by selling all their btc off, they make money by playing a continuous game of redistribution of wealth.
And you do realize that fiat is controlled by the governments and we wholly support that.  Surely we know that much of the price movements in btc are controlled and cannot always be accounted to some sort of natural growth. And you say continuous wealth distribution right? That opens up a larger frame wherein people could get involved. I don't see anything wrong with the wealth redistribution, actually. Without delving in to politics too much, I wholeheartedly agree with this. If people understand the similarities between bitcoin and dollar(or any currency for that matter), that will make them more comfortable in getting involved with it. |

Some very interesting points made here so far. I wasn't expecting much of a response to be honest but I'm glad to be wrong. I do agree that at this stage, encouragement generally needs to be directed at businesses. I would say that supermarkets might be a great place to start with that, considering what franky1 said.
In terms of explaining it to people, I have a few ideas on that. One of them is to give people paper wallets with $5-$20 worth on them. Then sit with them and walk them through several processes like making a purchase with bitcoin and how to transfer btc between accounts. Also explaining to them how everything works as they themselves are actually doing it. People like to have their hand held through new experiences. This method also takes away the risk people would see with using their own money, at least to start with.
Another way to educate people is to sit down with them and walk them through ways of acquiring bitcoin. Starting with faucets, which may be obvious to many, but most likely not newcomers. Then move on to other possibilities such as local trading (with advice on security of course) or buying through sites. I have a few in mind but don't want to name them for multiple reasons.
My idea of pitching it big is basically the fact that I, or someone else, would personally sit down with a person and take them through the various processes. The hands-on aspect is what makes it work.
As a side note, I, or someone else, could also walk them through how to tip with bitcoin. A learning experience that benefits both parties. Not a necessary part, but a possibility.

Thanks VirosaGITS and Dogie. I have tried power cycling both through the web interface and by turning the psu off and on. Same broken pattern, but oh well. Hashrate doesn't seem to be affected so I won't worry about it, it just seems weird and won't leave the back of my mind.
Now that I realize that row in the pool URL list is HW, I see that the percentage under DiffA lines up with that. It's all starting to make sense. Happily, it says 0.0000% so I'm happy about that.
Thanks again both of you for helping with what most would assume was very elementary, and making me feel welcome instead of stupid. Much appreciated.

Hello everyone. This is my first post so you can expect it to be pretty noob. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, or important here, but I can't seem to find the HW number anywhere on my Antminer C1. It's been running for a few days now and mostly everything seems to be fine. The first thing I'm wondering is, where can I find this number? There is an HW category strangely under Pool URLs that says 3. That can't be right can it? Is there some other formula I should be using to find the error rate? As far as I can tell, it should be HW/(diffA+diffR+HW)*100.
Second question is, What's up with the Asic Status? It looks like this:
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
000000 00000000 0
The bottom row is missing one, and is organized strangely. No x's, just a missing 0, and strange spacing. Does this reflect something I should know about?
Thank you for any light you can shed on these issues for me.
0 mean chip is reporting, X mean the chip reporting wrong, but does not automatically mean that it is not working - mean it is not reporting. This at least i can answer. Thank you so much. So this mean one chip is not reporting for some reason? And does that mean there is something wrong with that chip, or somewhere else? Screen -r answered my question about HW, so thank you for that. I appreciate the help and I'm really trying to understand what everything means. ETA: M's Miner Monitor took me all of 2 minutes to setup and it works great. Thanks for that suggestion. |
