Im not entirely sure, but I'd say that chip 38 is dead and since they are chained any chips beyond it will not function.
I have a h-card with chips 7-16 inclusive which are dead, chip 16 barely hashes setting its speed at 50, but throws a ton of miso-errors. spiccioli  During the night, the half-dead card got worse, now it is at 5 GH/s with a little more than 1/4 of the chips still mining. I've already removed auto-tuning, but it had no effect, even chips that yesterday night were mining now show 0. This afternoon I'll start visually inspecting all the cards to see if I have soldering defects. spiccioli |

What do you mean by "tuning autotune off and hand tuning..." ?
Can you describe what you did?

Thanks Isokivi, I had removed my message since I saw you posted a link just after my question  spiccioli |

Looks like it worked just fine one way or another. Great! BTW, 10 blocks in three days spiccioli |

Punin,
I've just sent you a PM message, please look at it I don't know how to reach you faster.

Mentioned on irc. Solved, I've got his phone number and I've called him spiccioli |

Thank you and your team, Punin. Fantastic job!!
BTW, does anyone recommend a good, reliable p2ppool? I heard some miners don't perform well on them due to latency issues.
If you're going the p2pool path the best option is to have your instance of bitcoind/p2pool software running, otherwise, just for a test and to be sure the embedded miner does work on p2pool you can select any pool from this list https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264533.msg2829721#msg2829721the closer to you the better. spiccioli Excellent! Thanks! Do you know if there's any rPI-ready p2pool software out there that could work with bitfury or steps to do so? No, you can't run p2pool on an rPI. You need a full PC to do this task and then you point your rPI to the address of your PC port 9332. spiccioli |

They ordered the chips with your money, SOMEONE acquired them, used and still is using them for mining, and then they had to order another run of chips from TSMC after this happened. That's why the chips are so late.
Who acquired them? When? How do you know these chips are the same as the chips we ordered? This is exactly what I am talking about. You have no information to back any of these accusations up except "I saw a picture!!!". Tracking Info Manufacturer Silkscreen and timestamping on the chips themselves (Why the fuck are they ordered months after you had the money?) Occam's Razor Need I go on? Unless there is concrete proof these chips were ordered within a few weeks of when the money was received, Avalon is lying. Yifu said those chips went into batch #3 which was made up of 600 units. But there is another thing I was pondering on... chips had to be paid in local currency, so they had to take 50-100K BTC and convert them into local currency... maybe this step is where things went south. Just a thought. spiccioli |

I'm not sure if it small enough, but I intend to plug my Bitfury into Slush's pool.
Trupik, it's the oldest one and below 50 TH... so go for it spiccioli |

We're now going to celebrate with my team here a bit.. been amazingly busy week.
Cheers!
You well deserve it and thank for the tracking number  spiccioli |

Hey Guys, introduced myself at the orig thread over here. Good to meet y'all. Ideas for growing the pool and reducing our variance? Hi Jorge, to grow the pool we need more miners which would also reduce our variance, while to reduce your variance you can spread your hashing power to two or three pools, see the link I've posted a couple of messages back, but doing so you would increase our variance since the pool would have less miners... Truth is a lot of miners should leave the bigger pools and point their gear here or on p2pool or on the other small pools. spiccioli ps. how went the date?  |

Order 220 just received. The august delivery promise was kept, but it was a close call. Got a starter kit with two H-boards, which greatly overdelivers the promised hashrate. The unit is hashing at around 40GH/s (+-3GH/s). Setup was really easy with the simple web interface, I just input my pools there and restarted the miner.
I'd like to invite everyone who is going to receive a unit to use a small pool and/or p2pool if the miner inside the unit can work with it. There are several small pools, pools with less than 50 TH/s of capacity, which should/need to grow to be able to balance the one or two mega-pools available. This is for the health of the bitcoin network, most of all, and given that BitFury is delivering several TH/s of hashing power this is a good moment for this call to arms spiccioli |

Hello everyone!
I don't know if there's any easy way to get UPS tracking numbers sent to each one of you (we don't have fancy UPS integration setup, maybe tomorrow). Nevertheless, you should receive yours early next week.
Niko, having tracking numbers can be usefull to call the courier and know when delivery will take place so that to be at home at that moment. spiccioli |

BTCguild is the biggest and probably the best supported.
go for a smaller one, we need lots of medium sized pools, not a single behemoth. there are several pools around 5-20 TH/s that need to grow and balance those big ones. my 2c spiccioli |

Right now we're around 1% of the full bitcoin network, so we should expect around 1.4 blocks a day, which we're doing...
It's just difficulty going up so fast that we don't have time to get accustomed to the lower income and we start thinking we're unlucky... which is not true.
We need to find more miners for the pool...
