Regarding picture with "chip installed wrong way". The chips follow M-shaped path. You can determine the chip number in the U4x -text next to the chip. U40…U4F

Hi,
Niko
I've send you a few Emails asking about bulk chip order prices.
Is there any problem ?

Sorry Marto, I'm drowning in emails, just had someone take over the communication for me. We will introduce new chip pricing on the site this weekend.

punin

When an order is placed and paid via bitpay does it go to processing automatically after so many confirmations?

Only asking as it took a few hours for the first confirmation (usually only takes 10 or so mins) and the order is still on hold.

Yes it should go automatically into processing when payment has been made.

Some info on setup

Chainminer is compiled with encoded username and password that are hard coded in jobconnect.cpp. Currently miner is set to run three getwork threads to localhost 127.0.0.1:8332-8334.

Code:
hosts_t hosts[]={
{"Basic dHl0dXMucGkyOnB1YmxpY3Bhc3M=","http://127.0.0.1:8332/",{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0xFFFFFFFF},NULL,NULL,0,0,0} // local stratum client
,{"Basic dHl0dXMucGkyOnB1YmxpY3Bhc3M=","http://127.0.0.1:8333/",{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0xFFFFFFFF},NULL,NULL,0,0,0} // local stratum client
,{"Basic dHl0dXMucGkyOnB1YmxpY3Bhc3M=","http://127.0.0.1:8334/",{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0xFFFFFFFF},NULL,NULL,0,0,0} // local stratum client
};

If you want to use the miner without stratum proxy you may do so by setting it in the above place. However, you must first encode your miner credentials to be inserted there:

Code:
pi@bitfury01 /opt/bitfury/chainminer $ echo -n username:password | base64
dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=
pi@bitfury01 /opt/bitfury/chainminer $

Then you must copy these encoded credentials into jobconnect.cpp and rebuild the miner:

Code:

dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=

hosts_t hosts[]={
{"Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=","http://getworkpool:port/",{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0xFFFFFFFF},NULL,NULL,0,0,0} //
};


Save the file and make. Restart miner.

Update on H-card soldering issues.
I sent some H-cards to be examined and reworked, and most of them came out clean. The bridges seem to be caused by flux resin in over 95% of cases.

... runnning in the case ...



Mmmm... red light district.. We had some nice asian food there with Intron and Cscape Wink

Sorry for the delay guys.. Lot's of things happening here..

Here are photos of some of the soldering issues we've encountered. Please check your boards!

I received my starter kit today. I am running it now (about 41 GH/s) without any fan and the ambient temperature is 24C. Do I have to be concerned or running without any fans with a kit with just 2 H-boards is not a problem?
Not a problem with the core voltage that is on your boards. Our chip has been proven to hash even at such extreme temperatures that the solder melted Smiley Then it started floating and shorted itself, ending hashing Smiley Some of our users are actually reporting decreased hashrates after adding fans. YMMV.

ATTENTION!!! PLEASE PERFORM OPTICAL INSPECTION OF BOARDS YOU'VE RECEIVED!! THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF SOLDERING ERRORS! I WILL SEND INSTRUCTIONS TO DO THIS SHORTLY!!

I was saying this few days ago...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=250249.msg3020099#msg3020099

No, this is different. There can be shorted pins on underside of M-board. The H-board capacitors are ok and joined pins on chip don't matter except if they are IO pins. I will post some photos very soon to help you identify problems!

Punin, how many "August" delivery has been shipped till now? 100%?
Yes, all have been shipped.
212  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe on: September 02, 2013, 04:14:14 PM
Whats the dimensions of the package? For the starter kits that have shipped.

440x310x210mm
213  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe on: September 02, 2013, 04:13:48 PM
StarterKit arrived today :-)



SEXY!
214  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe on: September 02, 2013, 04:12:57 PM
punin, are you going to adjust your price of (31st) October delivery after competitors movement?
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-33

   that price for Nov Delivery.

yeap, but August delivery became early-September, so maybe October one will become November, and then KNC looks more atractive. That's why I'm asking about punin's plans before placing an order.

How would you feel when all your money is tied up with a company that hasn't even shown a working chip, and we're selling miners that are in stock? I know from personal experience how it feels. That's why I strive to deliver on time or before, and not less, but more than what I've promised. To DELIVER. But hey, it's a free market, and you have right to do whatever you like with your money Smiley And if you wait a little bit more I bet there'll be an announcement of 20nm or 14nm preorders by some company soon, with even BETTER deal! Smiley Smiley Smiley

punin: if there will be a firmware update, how will we know? Is there a mailing list, or official website? Or will it be posted here?
The miner's setup page fetches a file from my web server, so I can always push notifications there. OFC they'll be announced here also. We are currently working on cgminer code. We'll hopefully have this available this week.

ALERT!! ACHTUNG!! HUOMIO!!
We've spotted a minor (potentially major) security issue with the image that was distributed with the shipped units. The user pi and root both have some ssh credentials set. You should remove these so that no one can access your unit. (This should not be such big issue if you're behind NAT).

How to correct this:
- SSH into your Raspberry Pi with user pi (default password = raspberry)
- Type commands
Code:
sudo rm -rf .ssh
sudo rm -rf /root/.ssh
sudo reboot

We're now going to celebrate with my team here a bit.. been amazingly busy week.
No it means next M-boards will be even better Smiley

Back at work already? I'm disappointed. For what you achieved, you and your team would have merited a massive two-day party-weekend + joint blackout and two-day hangover (optional)  Cheesy

For the October milestone, which, I'm quite sure, will again surprise everybody in multiple positive ways, I will arrange a tip-jar for you guys, which will enable you to go on a 3-day wreak havoc feast.  Grin

Cheers mate! Cheesy

PSU considerations:

H-boards were designed to be passively cooled and the core voltage is one of key elements limiting the hash speed.

ATX PSU's are relatively inexpensive and widely available. I suggest you to spend your money on quality, that leaves headroom for expansion. I use OCZ 1250 ZX myself. This can easily power 3 full rigs, is fully modular, quiet and has efficiency of ~90%. (It's little brother 1000 ZX received outstanding review on johnnyguru and should be sufficient for 3 rigs also.)

The bottleneck on our design is the TPS53355 regulator, that can only supply 30A. Increasing resistance on R01F increases the core voltage, but can lead to overload of TPS53355 (not to mention cooling issues) as chips consume more amps. The chips will not overclock to extreme frequencies with insufficient core voltage, but produce errors instead or lose programming etc.

If you plan on modifying your boards, please remember that doing so will void your warranty. Please remember your boards were not designed to run this hot, so blow some air on them you plan modding.

We also found a noticeable voltage drop on the IOVDD chain when all 16 cards are plugged in (down to 1V66 from 1V8). This will get fixed (hopefully) in next revision on M-boards, that is already in production. This should help lower the errors and noise on Bus D.

Most of the shipment left the building, and should be on it's way to you by airplane later tonight.

I will be contacting those of you who might have gotten a shipment notice, but no shipment was actually sent out. This is because the automated CSV export exported also those orders that were combined. I think we got 99% shipped correctly, and I will communicate with those of you who might have confusing orders. Some few orders will ship on monday.

I want to thank you all for your support and patience as we practice serving you. We've learned a lot in this process, and hopefully future shipments will be less painful Smiley

We're now going to celebrate with my team here a bit.. been amazingly busy week.

Cheers!
