Sounds like a Cat eat Dog world to me

Yesterday when I was on dotbit.org the last 10 blocks detected were showing at 230 mil! That will suck if the next jump is that huge!

No I get it, let me recap:

You made a high risk purchase from a guy you don't know in another country named Friedcat. At the time the product was grossly over priced but you bought it anyway. At a later time you realised you got ripped off and so did others. This upstanding unknown individual you don't know named as Friedcat promised to give you compensation for burning you the first time and surprisingly hasn't followed through yet!

Lucky for you, you were able to off load the units to others making back your money, phew that was a close one! When you sold the blades I am assuming the "6 month warranty" was transferred as well as the ownership of the equipment. The status of the rip off rebate and who it should belong too I guess is debatable.

So after what I assume were diplomatic efforts to resolve your problem you opened this thread to bring about awareness to your plight and to help fellow miners who were caught up on this. Since these efforts didn't work out did you think rehashing the issue across multiple threads dragging the persons name through the mud for good reason or not is going to accomplish any good? I know you are trying to raise awareness and put pressure on him but it's time to let go.

Look. I bought early blades also and underestimated the difficulty increases. I'm out a bunch of cash now and am looking for work on the side to break even. It sucks but you have to take your lumps, learn from it and move on.

I don't dispute that you try to be a helpful part of the community and you created an excellent DIY as well which is a great public service which I'm sure many people appreciate.

Good luck with your plight I feel your pain

I'm sure the actual hash rate is much higher but you cant dispute the power savings for the Bitfury, they are substantial.

After seeing the power consumption on the Bitfury rigs these can't even compete. If I was you I would just move on with more efficient technology and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

You have obviously never worked in an enterprise environment or managed a medium to large farm. USB would allow users to manage everything through a single interface and use a single client like CGMINER making all the blades act like 1 cohesive unit. That way if any changes need to be made you only have to do it in 1 place rather than 5,10,20,100 etc. It is far more efficient.

1 bad eruptor is pretty insignificant statistically.

If you have the old blade (green one) you can adjust the voltage. 1.05 works good on the low clock, if you want to run on high you need to set it to 1.2v.

How many eruptors have died on you? I have 50 going without a single problem on any for almost 2 months.

Variance evens out when the hashrate isn't increasing exponentially. This isnt the case right now with rapidly rising difficulty.

Big pools get through bad blocks faster meaning they have more chances of finding blocks before the difficulty goes up.

At this point I would wait until the next difficulty jump since it is around the corner. Prices usually drop within a few days and this one is going to take us over 100 mil easy.

I know of 3 people local that have received equipment. 2x500 ghash, 3x50ghash and 1 jally.

Almost 800 TH right now

As the blades hash they got hotter and so do the internal limiters in the PSU. If it goes down again try removing 1 blade from the equation to see if things are more stable. I just fried a 1050 watt trying to run 6 blades off it, 5 work fine. Time for a RMA!

Where do you get your BTC figure from? I am running 100GH\s right now and made .5 btc in the last 24 hours.

BTC also went down by the same amount over the summer. You can not make assumptions on future prices of Bitcoins, the market is small and easily manipulated by big players.

I would almost rather have the old blades then, I do like the backplane on the new ones though!

I had the same PSU and it has slowly died on me. At first I could power 3 blades, then 2 now 1. The PSU sucks. Try just hooking up 1 blade to it and see how that runs.
