Since you are not replying to my email, what's the status on order #501, you never shipped back the miner that needed repair.

In case anybody is left interested in actual bitcoin mining, the latest news about the miner I got is: Jim (or Josh?) called me yesterday and explained the TP-Link. It turns out it's been flashed as a linux server. Nifty! No wonder I thought it was not working, AMT set it up as a completely different device than what it was originally.

I did not have time to stay on the phone and getting it setup, it's connecting to the internet but I could not get the embedded cgminer to connect to a mining pool. I need to spend some time over the week-end. In the mean time I am mining connected to my laptop with USB, which is ok for now.
Jim (or Josh?) was helpful and apologized: apparently I should have had 4 boards and not 3, he's shipping a 4th one asap. Frankly I think these guys are going as fast as they can and are working their ass off, but it's still early days. I'd rather have a miner with a few things to figure out than no miner with a great documentation. I manage an IT organization, I should be able to figure it out (here's hoping...). It also seems that when connected to fast computer, we can get 45GH/s per board, my laptop is sucky.

I started to read the forum but I don't have time for all that. Some members sure have a way to make the newbies feel welcome...
I really can't believe I have to say this, but to be fair to AMT, I am not getting 5% to post here, I ordered my miner back in October. I am just sharing my experience in the hope that it's helpful. Do what you want with it. Given the tone here, this may be my last post.

mmhh yes you are right. I was thinking of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=307897.0 where they say 40 - 64 Gh/s and it really looks like the cards in the miner I got from AMT.
I am not ready to reflash the firmware yet until I have some confirmation from AMT or Technobit, I am a bit cautious.

So, I have been mining non stop since my last post. I had 1 HW error out of 6000 units(?) accepted. Jim from AMT still hasn't called me back, he gave me some instructions by email but hasn't got around to calling me. This has been a pattern with AMT, I guess they are a small operation, very busy. I can say they are real and are at least shipping. I had to contact them often and have been courteous to them all along, giving them the benefit of the doubt (even if I was a bit scared), this apparently served me well. I can't say about the others though, all I can share is my experience.

At this point, the miner is still connected to my laptop via usb and I am running the HEX Miner software from technobit. The miner is meant to be connected directly to the network via ethernet but I can't get the TP-Link unit provided with the miner to work. I may just buy one myself and try to figure it out, how hard could it be? (famous last words).

The cards are still running at 40GH/s each, I am not sure how to get them to run at 64GH/s. Technobit advertises 40-64, so I guess it's possible but I don't want to damage them. If I don't hear from AMT, I'll ask Technobit. Unless one of you guys has a brilliant idea.

Now about this forum: I registered recently because I had something to share and I thought this would be helfpul, I also needed some tips. Until then, I was just reading it and sitting tight hoping I'll get my miner. I guess some folks don't believe Man was on the moon in 1969, so getting a miner in 2013 may be too much. Seriously, I have better things to do than address some of the comments and I hope you do to.

I work and am busy, but if you live near Tampa and want to see it for yourself over the week-end I can arrange that.
Hope it works out well to those who are waiting for their miners.

Thank you dave111223, the stratum proxy was indeed required.
I got this sweet thing running now, thanks to you good people of this forum. See http://postimg.org/image/raux7qah1/

I think we can get these cards running to 64GH/s but I am not going to play with voltage and such for now. I am going to let it run overnight like this.

Thanks for the tip, I installed the correct driver and I am running the HEX Miner from technobit.
I can get each card to fire up individually and they seem to "do" something, leds are flashing, but I am not sure if this is really working yet. See http://postimg.org/image/pxjyug757/ for a screenshot. I get a 0 GH/s and only 3 chips seem to be doing something.

This is probably far from the correct setup, as I said earlier I need Jim to provide me with the correct instructions.
 
I originally ordered in Oct 10, although it took me 1 week to get paypal to accept my order and Jim was patient during that time. I am not sure which date was used, 10/3 or 10/10.

So, I received the 192GH/s miner today, I posted photos here: http://postimg.org/gallery/hv3esm2/170753d0/

It contains 3 HEX16B-Bitfury ASIC Miner boards as far as I can tell. They all connect to a USB hub, which connects to a TP-Link TL-MR3020 device. There are a lot of fans too :-)
One cpu fan is not properly mounted against the bitfury card and I may have to take the whole thing apart to access it as it does not do anything and half of the card isn't "fanned".

Jim needs to provide me with the instructions as they are not available in writing yet. Until then, I can't connect to this rig and get it mining.

I tried to get the TP-Link device to broadcast wifi or connect to ethernet or wifi, but zilch. I am not sure it's working. I checked the documentation on the TP-Link website and I'd be really surprised if it's actually working.
 
I connected each board individually to my computer and it says they are HEX16B-Bitfury ASIC Miner, which sounds good. However, I don't have a driver for these so I could not test them as miners connected directly to my PC. If somebody knows how to get the cards recognized by a PC, I can try them out individually for a raw test.

Needless to say, I am excited and can't wait to get this online. Good stuff AMT.

That's all for now, as soon as I get this thing hashing, I'll publish a video.

I ordered the 192 GHs miner back in October.
I just got confirmation of shipping from Jim. I'll let you know how it goes when I receive it, can't wait 
I'll try to make a youtube vid. I have no idea what to expect, I never mined before, I am just hoping the setup will be simple enough.
 

AMT finally got around to replying to me in the past few days and they shipped the miner today!
So, it just seems that they are very busy but are indeed shipping, which is great news.

Had anybody gotten any luck buying from AMT (Advanced Mining Technology)?

I would like to publish on the relevant thread but I am stuck in newbie territory for now.
I ordered a miner mid October and haven't received it. They made promises and haven't responded to emails for days.

Anybody else with experience with AMT?

I too registered to participate to a forum and need now to wait to be un-newbied :-)
