1  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is it time to shut down 1st Gen ASICs? on: March 08, 2014, 03:46:30 PM
Best thing to do is consider a sweet spot of resale value. Recently when the price rose people were paying stupid money for ASICMINER USB's and i was able to sell some for more then i paid for originally regardless of BTC mined. Sold a BFL Jally for almost what it cost me and that had been mining for 9 months, otherwise the switch off point is when it costs more to run unless you are prepared to pay out of pocket for convenience of mined coins versus using an exchange.

I have one in the UK that was fully functional when i stopped using it. I was going to try the LTC binaries on it but make me an offer via PM

Six Month Refund or Double Shipment Guarantee
If you’ve been waiting in queue for six months or more, you qualify for either a full refund in USD, OR double the hardware you ordered. This latter option will come in the form of (a) first shipping you the new Imperial Monarch, giving you an expected 160-175% of your ordered hashrate, and then (b) an additional Standard 600 GH Monarch at the end of the queue, giving you another 100% hashrate boost, totaling an expected 250+% of your ordered hashrate once all products have shipped. (Note: Electing the refund cancels the Imperial Monarch upgrade offer in the first section above.)


Hey psychologists if you want to see the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment run against Bitcoin miners now is your chance!

Hello,

I am new on this forum and have a problem with dualminer with PI.

When I connect the dualminer, then this will appear in the list with ls /dev/ttyUSB*, but cgminer does not find USB hardware.
After exiting cgminer also the dual miner has disappeared from the list.

The hub and dualminer work under Windows without problems.

Has an idea where the problem is?

Thanks.

Hi, epcoin

   Did you use sudo to get required privilege for running cgminer? Would you please take a photo of your screen and post it here or forum.dualminer.com? Our engineer will track your issue closely.

   Thanks.

Hi, dmsp

here are the screen printing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B743ny4TD6NvbVdrd29oRTJXVlE/edit?usp=sharing

After the end cgminer no more /dev/ttyUSB* are available

You need more informations?

Thanks for help.

It seems problem related to usb bus power or usb driver from -D information. Please confirm the DIP switched to L mode and check your PM. We will help you to find the difference between your rig and CruzCoins'.

The DIP is switched to L and I use TeckNet HU10 10 Port USB 3.0 Hub. This hub looks exactly like orico p10-u2.
When I connect this HUB and dualminer to a Windows PC and run DualMiner (download from dualminer.com) is't run without problems.


These things won't work with TeckNet HU10 10 Port USB 3.0 Hub at all even on a normal PC. The Pi also hates USB 3 hubs. The USB 2  model is fine though

Are you pointing the exhaust from the ants at the intake of the psus? Careful my old pc case which had the psu at the top died from this due to it sucking in the heated air from the two graphics cards below it.
6  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Amazingly cheap FPGA miners on aliexpress - scam or not? on: March 01, 2014, 09:56:39 PM
Today I was looking for some cheap FPGA miners, and found the following on aliexpress:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PCS-400MH-s-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner-X-1Pcs-Ship-Now/1660670965.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/400MH-s-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner-X-1Pcs-Ship-Now-By-DHL/1660168916.html

FPGA miner for $16 or $24? Is this for real? These offers look pretty scammy, they are copy-and-paste, pictures are the same everywhere, sellers without feedback. Did anyone buy these?
They have no feedback so i doubt it is legit. Even if it was with an antminer at 1.6 ghz you would need 4 of these to match it and i bet they probably pull a minimu of 10 watts each. Plue 4 x $16 = $64 so an antminer is cheaper, uses less power and takes up less room.

Now you could always try the scrypt code floating around on those but given it does 60khs on a 4 lx150 board you would not get much.
7  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 1.37 BTC for 180GH/s on: March 01, 2014, 09:51:57 PM
How about people pay the proper customs and obey their local laws?


Why not. im paying 25% from my wages toward tax bag, im paying 300gbp every year in road tax, im paying duty in overpriced fuel. im paying tax on alcohol, vat on mobile, vat on internet etc. why not pay full price for miners. Why not!

Why not. Give up your passport, say bye  and move to Africa - Zimbabwe. Roads may have bumbs and electricity.. meh maybe. But no vat.

Bitmain is only playing fair declaring real value.

OK, first let me say that avoiding tax is not a good thing, because as much as we don't like our hard earned money being spent by someone else, it does help your country even by a little bit.

That being said....
Why shouldn't I enjoy the fruits of my labor?
Why should someone else take 3/4 of it?




Not to mention s1lverbox is bitching about tax in the UK which also gets you free health care, social welfare (unemployment and such), subsidized education(even with fee's) full time police, fire (even the US has volunteer departments out of the cities) and ambulance services etc etc.

Death and taxes are the only two things you can guarantee in life, get used to it.

Customs issues are not BITMAINS fault. If your shipment was lost you can only claim the declared value. What is annoying is when sodding UPS turn up with a large bill and expect cash! how about a card machine for the driver or a website i could of paid on like the post office? Instead they have a phone number that can't find your shipment. After 10 mins on hold i had to hang up as the driver had been standing around and i had probably knackered up his route.

Hi,

One more question, can we mine all "Scrypt coin" with the Dualminer ? Or only the LTC ?

mine are pointed at multipool and have no problem

Stock will reopen for sale on Monday when I have reconciled all orders and payments against coinbase. According to my initial rec last night there are 32 left in stock when I check funds received against orders but the cart is showing slightly more in stock so I need to just make sure the cart tallies with funds and orders. Again this is just because the callback from coinbase to store is not great and I think some orders coinbase callback has not removed stock from cart. we have also refunded a couple of customers so it is also possible that that stock has not been added back into cart

Obviously we don't want to oversell so until I am back in office Monday I am halting all sales until we are 100% that all ties up. It is safe to say there are at least 30 left in stock though.
Any ETA on ship out?

If not can you give an ETA of when original order will ship please
Thanks
You will have your unit shipped until the end of the week
Cool, Thanks for the answer Smiley

can someone mirror the driver package. the download from the dualminer site seems to be two cups and string. dualminer.com works fine, support.dualminer.com seems to be hosted on a zx81 with a morsecode modem!

Edit: Used work VPN to get them.

These things DO NOT LIKE USB3 hubs which is annoying so i currently have the pair attached to front ports + fan 129k average on multipool for two of them

How would you work the labels? tell us when its ready and we send them over? just asking as royal mail labels have a 2 day window to post so you would need to print them out and post the day we email them or day after.
15  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $1.99/GH/s, miners from $2.97/GH/s on: February 11, 2014, 07:26:35 AM
The problem is not accounting for delays in calculation. If you think you can preorder an asic then cancel your order when its no longer profitable(you think) then you should NOT be preordering an asic in the first place.

WRONG. A pre-order purchase is a contract. BA made a commitment to deliver on a specified date. If they cannot meet that date, their customers deserve the right to cancel that contract due to BA's failure to deliver. Especially in the US, it is the law.

You mean this contract?

Quote
Delivery Terms9.1 The Products are delivered to the delivery address specified by the Purchaser, unless otherwise agreed. The delivery date is provided for information purposes only and shall not be binding on Us. The Purchaser is not entitled to refuse acceptance of the Products, withdraw, cancel or revoke the order or make claims for compensation due to any delayed delivery. 9.2 Where delivery is delayed due to any of the circumstances constituting force majeure in accordance with "Force Majeure" below or due to any act or omission by the Purchaser, the delivery period shall be extended by such a period as is reasonable in light of the circumstances. The delivery period shall also be extended where the cause of the delay arises after the expiry of the originally agreed delivery period.9.3 If the delivery is prevented due to the Purchaser’s negligent acts or omissions, the risk for the Products shall pass to the Purchaser on the date when the Products were ready for delivery.
however...
if you are in the UK and you 'just don't want the product' anymore. you are legally entitled to cancel up to delivery and 14 days after receipt of said product.

National consumer laws don't apply to orders outside of the host nation. BFL got sued as they are US based, black arrow are not US orUK based so it would be the consumer law where they are

I remember post after post about how you guys would not be affected by the CNY, care to comment why "most of the staff" had off when you previously said it wouldn't affect you guys?

Also since a yes or no answer was never given, will minersource be giving refunds, yes or no?

Minersource cannot issue refunds as they have paid us for your miners.

We're currently making a list with the refund requests to see if we can refund from our margin. Note that our margin is quite low as we have charged our customers $4000 on a miner while others have charged $16000 on the same hardware during the same period.

As we've announced, we've put the ASICs into production and they've been paid in full. Canceling the ASIC now is not possible as we will incur around 85 to 95% penalty so we're left in refunding only from our margin.





WHICH CONTRAVENES THE LAW IN MANY COUNTRIES. I AM IN THE UK AND THE LAW STATES THAT IF I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A PRODUCT AND WISH TO CANCEL, I CAN DO SO. ANY COMPANY REFUSING MY RIGHT TO REFUND IS ACTING AGAINST TRADING STANDARD LAWS.

Which only applies to UK companies and not ones based elsewhere
17  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Block Erupters 32gh/s clicks and shut down on: February 07, 2014, 07:19:20 PM
Before you blow it up by shorting the fuse have you tried a different PSU. Like i said above i had the exact same issue with PSU's that were overspecced (750W) but they could not take the initial voltage spike of the cube resulting in it giving a click and dieing. A 600W corsair PSU booted it fine first time.

Shorting the fuse is a very bad idea and means if anything goes wrong you will end up with an expensive paper weight.
18  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon2 based miner from Technobit - HEX16A2 on: February 06, 2014, 09:31:09 PM
Hi

I have a big problem.
I have 5 miners and all of them work fine IF a let them work one by one...even two together work fine.
BUT.....

If i want to let 3 miners work together, the PSU crashes.

The miners, the hub and the MR-3020 are ALL conected to the same PSU-Molex cable-tree.
The PSU has 550W....

What can be the problem?

Can it be that the PSU is too old even it has NEW 550W?

Pls help me ..... i cann't solve this problem
what is the rating AMPS of PSU 12V rail is it a single one?

PSU-Model: pentium iv & pfc model lc6550G version 2.0

MAC DC OUTPUT:

Voltage 230V:
+3.3V -> 35A
+5V -> 40A
+12V1 -> 16A

Current 4A
+12V2 -> 18A
-12V -> 0.8A
-5V -> 0.5A

Frequency 50Hz
+5VSB -> 2.0A
BLK - > COM
GRN - > PS-ON
GRY -> PG


I made a shortcut betwen the green and black cable to turn the PSU on without motherboard.
So
1. Chosse a single rail PSU
2. When board is OC-e it is eating about 9.5 Amps
So if i were on your shoes i will connect just two boards to this PSU when i am absolutely sure that each board is connected on a separate 12V rail. Does this explanation clears up a mastery crash;)
And do not push it to much magic smoke will come out sooner or later. I am not joking here i am serious



So you say that the PSU is too poor to run more then 2 boards at once?

Will a new PSU work better and how much power do i need to run all 5 together?

Would this one do the job?

http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/v-series-psu/v1000/
Dude,

First please excuse me i just saw that it is Avalon2 boards. So i do not know what the board consumption is but i know that it is getting close to Avalon1 And definitely i say that i would not run more than two broads on this PSU. Whatever you do choose a SINGLE rail PSU. Do you know to what rails are the boards connected i guess no.. and so on

PS:
http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/v-series-psu/v1000/

Yes it will do and you will have a room for more boards this one is too powerful.
My advise is to measure exact board consumption on 12V and choose appropriate one you can save a bug for sure. If this is not an option for you go with 1000W  Wink

I just orderd one of these PSU's and in a few hours i will try it out.
Hopefully it's gonna do the job.

Thank you very much for your help so far. I'll gonna give a feedback when it runs.
;-)

It will do the job. Just make sure you use all molex cables. Do not connect more than one miner to a single molex cable even though it has two more connectors in parallel. Unless you ought to Wink
This is the best advice here. If you  have more miners then Molex then use a ATX 4 pin extender to molex or 4 pin extender and cut the cable off one end. That way you still get 12v but it is not all on the same cable.  Even a single one can cause the molex wires to be warm.

Another SCAM to add to this sorry list:

Bitcoin Exchange Ltd, https://bitcoinexchangeltd.com

Claim they trade BTC for cash but my experience is they just take your BTC (see also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332876.msg4370868#msg4370868)

In the absence of my promised but yet to materialise refund my loss has been minor. It seems from https://blockchain.info/address/1Ndvbh9Li8Bm8jSSfPUyj3ytNrNz49HxWV (on just one of their deposit addresses) others stand to loose much more including several deposits since my earlier posts.

It also seems their claimed Company registration # 08459694 and associated address may not be their own (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=332876.msg4374395#msg4374395)

If anyone has experience to contrary I'd be happy to know. If I receive my refund after all I'll let you know. Gross obstructiveness and incompetence is one thing, while fraud would be another entirely.

Meanwhile I've filed full reports with Action Fraud and the UK Office of Fair Trading.


http://hashra.com/t-c , why does there postcode start with ec also?
be carefull people, people from london are scum of the earth

It's a company-in-a-box type service so you can register at that address instead of your own and they forward on the mail. Load's of scams seem to use the same services using EC2 postcodes as registered address. EC2 is not exactly a cheap part of london so any new company based there is either a scam or stupid.
