Still shows "Processing..." as my status. FedEx or UPS delivery manager usually pings me when a new shipment is coming, but not sure if they used them or another shipper.

What I did to fix this was:

1) Login with the minera user (default password is minera)

2) Use nano to edit the rc.local

> sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Added a # comment to the lines that get the IP and echo it:


becomes


I only got this problem when I was on wi-fi, but commenting those lines above fixed the rc.local not loading. Additionally, you could add a sleep there.

Decentralized stores work really well when there are no trustable authorities. With colleges, you have multiple accrediting bodies which certify the trustworthiness of an institution.  How does a blockchain help with this?

You still have:

• Need to trust the institution writing to the chain
• Need to verify that the owner of the diploma token is who they say they are

How do you plan to address these problems?

For example, a school has a registrar's office. That office handles transcripts and validations, but multiple people work there. Would they publish all their degrees to the chain? Would they issue a keypair to every student? How would you ensure students don't lose their keypair? If they did, wouldn't you need a way to regenerate them, meaning you'd need a mutable blockchain entry, or you'd need to give a school to ability to move a "degree" from one address to another. Doesn't the ability to do that break the trust that a degree is associated with the correct individual?

Ah ok - I was running mine at 120V, so that was the issue. Time to for a 220 circuit or two put in

Its risky - the specs want it to run at 1150W with up to a 15% variance, which would put you at 1322. Use a 1500 to be safe.

So far it hasn't shown to be in stock. I think they're clearing out the back orders until they list more.

My order from 8/8 got updated to Processing like most of the other replies who were waiting for things like a BTC address.

If your cgminer built, you likely have those libraries. However, that is the first part of the build - you need those before you can do the subsequent steps.

What's your minera log say when you use the custom cgminer? What are the parameters you're passing it? Does the cgminer you built work without minera?

From your minera, did you select the Custom Miner option?

Should be between 1250 - 1500w based on their website.

Sorry - maybe I'm rusty on my linux.

I was trying to create a subfolder for the user to add the cgminer they build into. I can edit out my change. (I see that I should've also made it so the checkout goes to the 2pac folder, but looking at my minera, its not an issue.)

You need to setup Wifi on your pi like this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md

You need to install the vh version of cgminer as a custom miner into Minera.

SSH into your Minera Pi, and follow the steps for  "Raspbian - Kernel version: 4.4 (Raspberry Pi)".

(edit: removed my extra steps based on feedback below.)

Once those are done, you should have a folder called cgminer.

In that folder, copy the cgminer binary to /var/www/minera/minera-bin/custom/

It'll then show up in Minera as a custom miner.

Open up authorized repair centers and have a certification you need to get to maintain the warranty. Seems like the next level of growth, similar to what PC makers used to do.

Keep in mind though that managing that network is another full time job, and it seems like they're short on staff as it is.

Yes, it was a very odd process. I got my miner and it is running to spec, but they're not setup for scale at all. Seems like a flood of orders would quickly overwhelm them.

Once you get it setup, there's not much to do.

It just sits there working and pulling power. You need to make sure it doesn't run too hot.

Yep, also got my address and sent in the BTC. Let's see how close to the 23rd the units arrive.

Also got my address as well, new toys for the mine.

My eBit e9 miner showed up early, and I got a chance to play around with it.

Here's the basic stats:

• Pulls 1077 watts ( I used an EVGA 1500w power supply to test at home)
• About 68 dB
• Runs around 56C  
• The UI was in English  

Some setup gotchas:

The sticker on the miner says it was supposed to be a static IP of 192.168.80.140. I couldn't get it connect at this IP, and ran wireshark to see what what happening. Turns out the sticker was wrong and it was running at 192.168.4.3.

If you can't connect to the IP on the sticker, and the address that worked for me doesn't work, you can try to use Wireshark and look for the ARP requests from "Zhejiang..." (appended with whatever the MAC address is.)



Here's an Imgur gallery of the UI and some of the setup options:

Thanks for the heads up! I guess luckily they sold out of the 741s before they could get me a BTC address, so I didn't run into this. I hope they get you your fan, though! (Also following the A7 thread.)

While it is not a clean ordering experience at all, being able to file a chargeback (since they take paypal) goes a lot way to holding them accountable.

My miner that I ordered last week from them arrives on Monday, so i'll happily review it then.
