Hi Canary, the replacement Blade has arrived.  It is one of the new versions, V2.001 I believe not having the replaceable fuse nor reset headers, in an unopened static proof envelop.

The Blade, although showing activity on the RJ45 port is not appearing on the network.  I've run nmap 192.168.1.* and have mapped every device on my local network including ports open.  It would seem like it might have been setup with some other network, e.g. 192.168.0.1 or something else.

I have reset the device by putting pins in the factory reset and ground (ground being the center pin between factory reset and reset) and an alligator clip across the pins and awakened the miner from off, left on for 30 seconds, turned off, removed the pins and replaced the cat5 cable, restarted, and still no report of its existence on 192.168.1.0.  I have tried http://192.168.1.254:8000 repeatedly without results.

I am supplying 11.9vdc to the Blade.

What do you suggest?

Okay, I have it on nmap now.  It is a brand new cat5 cable so I knew it wasn't that.  Two or three days ago two 8 port high speed switches arrived from the Orient.  They had wall warts for Europe but I'm using an adapter and it's working for a raspberry pi I use for stratum.  I just swapped the cable to an older 8 port TP-Link switch and now I see the Blade.  

Efficiency is coming up slowly but the pool, which was showing 1 week 5 days for the last share for this worker, is now showing shares.  Thanks.

I note I have modified my Blade stand.  Previously the Blade was standing RTV'd in slots in two PVC pipes and a pair of 120mm fans blowing on the heatsink from a distance of about 1½", as well as a room fan some distance away blowing at the miner.  Now I lay the two 120mm fans down on a metal bar rack having open air.  The fans are attached to one another and at one end two PVC are vertical.  On the vertical PVC I have another fan, something like an 80mm, on a down angle.  I place the miner on top of the two 120mm fans, heatsink down and the 80mm fan blows across the Blade top.

Up to 92.10% and rising.  I'm a happy customer.

First of all many props and thanks to Canary!


I'm running 1 cube and 2 blades ( 1 oc to 13 ) off a HX850.
I love these power supply's, got 2 more that have been on 24/7 over 8 months now pulling 750 watts continuous.
And a $350 electric bill to go along with it.

Well packed. No loose blades or heatsinks

thanks Canary

How would they know you were a customer and your shipping address wasn't compromised?  Canary is technically the customer and has the order history.  He even requires signing mailing addresses/label numbers.

Out of six cubes, I had one with a bad blade-- it showed a row of "xxx"s no matter which slot I put it in. I emailed asicminer.help@gmail.com on Dec. 6 about the single defective blade, and received no response.

Then I got home today and there was a package inside my door from Shenzhen. I actually thought to myself, "What the heck is this? I haven't ordered anything recently." But there was a replacement blade inside, and it works perfectly.

4 days, including the weekend, from the moment I emailed until the replacement blade arrived from China and was plugged in & hashing. Amazing. Amazing! Thank you CanaryInTheMine & friedcat. The ASICMiner legend grows.

=/  Problem is I'm not sure where one of the units will go yet... so if it okay if I send you all but 1 label for now?  I'm assuming you want all labels together since I paid for it all at once.

Waiting on confirmation of when these will ship out before sending labels... Hope they can ship out this week.

I received a key for Blizzard's Hearthstone in my email today, but with midterms coming up in December, my traveling over the holidays.finals in February, and Board exams in April, I'm not going to be able to play until at least May or June of next year!  I figured I'd sell it on here for BTC.  Let me know what it's worth to you!  I also accept amazon gift cards as payment.

Thanks!

are you going to reply to the emailed label as confirmation that you received it and everything is fine on our end?

For FedEx, it doesn't allow us to specify the originating zip code without a complete address, what should we do there?

This is my first time printing a shipping label - sorry for my 2 noob questions:
* Do we wait for you to tell us what to enter for "Choose a Shipping Date" or does that not matter?
* I assume that UPS is not acceptable?

canary, please reserve at least 2 blades and 2 backplanes(if possible on these). I have already PM'd you, and will send btc later today, thanks, sbfree.
