southerngentuk is waiting for news of when/if there is another shipment for other batches. Trying to be patient but have limited funds and those new prices are making me question holding out for coupon... What to do ??

It doesn't matter what he has posted and promised. He is in breach of contract. Simple. Refund and Boycotts until he rectifies this situation. Anything less is a sign of weakness and allows him and Avalon to delay further. Sorry Avalon. Times up and we as a community need to grow some teeth and bite back. The time for sitting back and waiting for broken promises to be added to with more promises for delivery are over. The time was up 5 weeks ago when he failed to deliver on chips and development chips. Avalon needs to fix this with refunds now or suffer boycotts. We need to stand together. Backing down and giving him even one more day means we all run the risk of weeks and weeks and eventually months of delays in refunds and chip delivery. You missed the date your time is up it is now time to get REFUNDS and if compensation is not given BOYCOTTS should go into effect immediately. If you fuck with the community the community can fuck with your business. Simple as that.
I don't disagree, but whose going to do anything, if the community wants to send him a message then perhaps someone should post a poll with a set of options for action. He would no doubt see the results and may react before any action is necessary. |

someone should put a bounty on this kids head if he doesn't smarten up
No. That comment is out of bounds. Actually it made my day. Finally someone not so spineless like the rest which are happy with what is going on. Is this not how the Chinese handle things. I thought it was.  |

What your describing sounds allot like a power issue for the RasPi. Especially the problems starting after loads of writes (pacman -Syu).
I used to get loads of corrupted SD cards and weird issues when I had my PI running of the same hub as the Erupters.
After moving to a dedicated 1A power suply the Pi has been stable.
I no is sounds exactly like those power issues, however the PI is the only kit with a dedicated power supply it runs fine through all the writes.. It was over an hour running before I thought hey I should give it a reboot.. then bam...put the image on a different card repeat. I think I wrote the image to 3 cards about twice each yesterday  I'll get to the bottom of it but I really need a second PI to screw with.. |

Guys, am having issues.....
Not all pi related.
I got a good quality SD Card today and started from scratch.
All was looking good until a reboot.
Am now convinced that the script for the lcd is good but issues start after..
sudo pacman -Syu
The system update seams to break peon. It runs ok till a reboot.
On reboot it starts - then reboots in a cycle. If I unplug the usb's it is stable until I plug a usb in. This was never a problem on stock Peon with my setup.
Am away tomorrow so will run stock until I return and will probably order a second Pi next week so i can test without disruption.
My issues have been complicated today by problems with pools going down, internet connections issues, my router playing up and firefox kept freezing on me.
So nothing is clear at the moment, everything to go wrong has and i`ll start a fresh next week..
Anyone else having issues??? Am wondering if something was changed with Syu since I last done it 4 days ago???

I done almost the same as you, was just about to solder to them and then thought "That cable is way to thin for 5A" If nothing else cut the leads down to a couple of inch's - its still a bottle neck though.. |

Yifu, please allow me to change shipping address of my batch of 10,000 chips.
That way, I can sell it to someone else without the need for escrow, as you or the website can confirm the change of shipping address.
Who wants to buy 10k chips? Ordered and paid last week of June. About 6 ~ 7 weeks ago. Fine, so they'll be late, but you still get them earlier than if you buy today.
I think TerraHash was looking to buy.. Ok guys, here's the deal. Given the current conditions (rising difficulty, Avalon uncertainty, etc.), a lot of people who ordered chips from Avalon are willing to resell their chips at cost price. This was not true a month ago or so, when we made a deal to acquire two additional orders for a premium (We never bought those orders, but only made a deal to pay a premium once they had chips in hand). We have decided to scrap those deals and instead buy chip orders from people who want to get out by selling their order for the price they paid. We have got 3 offers so far. We will re-open pre-orders after buying these.
We will keep you posted on this development.
Also, all these 3 offers are for May orders.

lets just redirect our brain powers in pushing terrahash for answers...
Where are these overdue promised items:
1. Pictures of the DX Mini
2. Picture of a completed Klondike 16 w/ heat sink
3. Hashing rate reaching promised rate (not prototype.. i'd expect terrahash to have this down by now hopefully)
4. Invoice/POs of all components
5. Project timing for each step (project management style)
We're back to this again? It's only been a few weeks and we're back to demanding proof of things?? BUT What I AM interested in, is whether or not Terrahash has performed all the obligations to their customers (less avalon chips) to fulfill the orders. I cannot fathom why anyone would not welcome this request for common courtesy that we, the customers, are entitled to. (unless some units were furnished with sample chip shipments received to certain individuals for crowd control perhaps? Like the Nazis provided preferential treatment to certain selected jews to keep them marching into the gas chambers) Let me put it this way, my gut tells me that terrahash do NOT have everything they need to mass produce our orders simply based on the inconsistencies of their stories, flip flopping, misleading statements, etc they have publicly displayed thus far. So let me once again invite Terrahash to clear its name in the public forum once and for all. If Terrahash cannot, please refund all monies owed immediately as you are no where near meeting your obligations EVEN IF Avalon delivers tomorrow. Therefore Terrahash is breaking the basic premises (not force majeure in this case, like you have suggested) for which we, misled customers, have willingly taken the risk to provide funds and await patiently for months, interest free. Am torn here so I WONT comment, only to say BKK will have the new board hashing very soon, if TH has already ordered the revision he should not be far behind. That deals with point 2 & 3, a couple of pics would easily clear up the other points.. |

Sorry I'm not understanding something here? ... I guess I better look closer in the minepeon code ... Nope I'm not in there  ... and no there's no problem with that, just when you said that I was thinking "eh?" Not what I meant...I hope its Neils address, If he wishes to send some btc back, I would like him to send it to you as a donation for your contribution...Hope thats OK with you..  Why you stealing my coins Kano?  . Actualy one of the thinks I want to do (if I ever get the sodding donate code to work correctly) is maintain a list of developers and worthy organisations so people can donate miner time to them. I am sort of hoping we can turn into crowd funded employees. Neil Neil your not forgotten, you should have been getting some donation time before now, and the next one is yours, after that I really need to keep some for myself. |

I have seen some options on the tor network that could resolve this issue. It just needs someone to start a group buy, I doubt JohnK would do escrow for such a service thou.  |

 this Donation goes to Kano' address..... Sorry I didn't have time to pick up a new SD card yesterday, so I turned OFF donations! So it looks like at donation time my PI is resetting? and its reinstating donation time to 5 mins (what I had set it too a few days ago before doing a gitpull) then gets stuck.. Would be nice to have current PI time displayed in the GUI and an option to set the time donation takes place maybe? this only happens after I have opened a bottle of johnnie walker.. whats the state of the git at the moment? I'll reinstall on a new card today should I avoid a gitpull.. Would you like me to send an image of the SD Card.. I'll get back latter to answer other posts as I have a few things to do his morning... |

Did you make or bought the power cables from PSU to the HUB's? I'm also using one of those 10 ports HUB (with 9 USB Gizmos), with a Velleman multivolt, that gives 7,5 Amperes @ 5 volts.
Originally I ordered some 2.1mm connectors but they haven't arrived, being impatient I cut the 5V lines out of the molex connectors of the atx psu (bottom of pic) and soldered the 5V wires straight to the hub.. and plugged the fans into the molex (which now only has 12V lines). ATX PSU has 28A @ 5V 4X 20A @ 12V (Reserved for K16`s) |

Regarding MinePeon with USB miners:
Is there any limit of USB devices that it will auto-detect (other than the 127 standard USB limit)?
When removing or adding new USB miners do you need to do anything over than reboot? (ie will it automatically detect that devices were added or removed and start using all available devices)
What USB hubs are you using with the Raspberry Pi to plug so many USB block erupters or any other ASIC miner? I tried the Anker 3.0 USB - 10 port what looks awesome, fits perfect & are good quality but nobody ever got them running with the Raspberry and Minepeon - the internet & this board is full of it. This hubs are working pretty on Ubuntu but not with minepeon -> it crashes with errors after booting and restart. The only working hub I have is the D-Lin 7 Port (stacking the hubs plus add a 120mm fan) but as this has 2 permanent USB ports for loading so it`s again not perfect as only 5 could be used for the USB block erupters or any other bigger farm on USB.  Couldn't miss the opportunity to post another pic... I have cheap ebay hubs $6. throw away the psu's I soldered them straight to an ATX psu |

Not sure on the limit, but regarding hot plugging I have shuffled around 22 between 3 10 port hubs ( 1 hub is a little temperamental) and had no issues at all, no need for a reboot. Regarding the limit, am waiting on coupons for another 25, that will push me close to 50 so were see how it goes. Personally after that I would be getting a second PI for redundancy, Pi are cheap |

southerngentuk, you can send up to 6 images to LCD's internal memory and pre-program the display to enter into "picture frame mode", when idle for more than x minutes, with the "LCD Sys Info - Images Loader.exe" program that comes with it. If the RPI stops communicating with the LCD, it then knows what to do...
Excellent, I had read something about that but it didn't sink in at the time. I'll put it on my to do list, It seems to take me along time to do anything on linux but I am determined to get a handle on it. Edit: ok the loader ext.. is windows so easy for me..Done Thanx ct1aic |

Notes on the dispay : If LSDStats is killed in anyway e.g. Pi reset, It sits there with the last stats displayed. Looks pretty but not very helpful. Would be better if it would just go blank or display an error. I don't think it is possible to get around this due to the way it works. Otherwise its pretty cool...
I use -d 2 and thus the clock ticks over every 2 or 3 seconds so I know it's working There is no problem hitting the API every 2 seconds (I have a bunch of scripts that hit each of my cgminers every 2 seconds) As for what's on the screen if it stops ... well that's simply what was last on the screen - yes. If it gets an error talking to the API, cardcomm has it display a red message that's pretty obvious If the python itself crashes, well, yeah you'll see on the screen what was last put there Putting a message up or blanking would be pointless, rather whatever was trying to do that should instead restart the python. Thanx Kano, I'll change the refresh rate and I should be able to get the python script to run on reboot. Please don't tell me how, am gonna figure it out, I will get use to this linux stuff soon enough. |

I'm doing a git pull every day.
That may be your issue, that code is a bit buggy at the moment as I am getting ready for a release this weekend. Neil Not to forget, never change a running system! maybe cardcomm can update his install guide to shut the system down first...am not sure how to do this yet.

thinking about it now, my addresses were replaced with the donation ones also on the status page.

Neil:
For the second consecutive day, at midnight, my pools are replaced by the 3 donation pools and stay there until I force mine @ the pools page. I have donation disabled for several days.
I'm doing a git pull every day.
I think this is the same issue, off memory I think under the pools table it said 'cgminer failed to restart' I could not force mine and had to reboot. EDIT: Send any coins to cardcomm`s address as donation for lcd work please. |
