UhhOhh, my UPS delivery has hit the rocks in India - big yellow Exception banner on my tracking page -

Mumbai, India  01/23/2014  5:59 P.M.  A flight delay occurred because of aircraft mechanical reasons. 

Looks like mine will be coming Monday now. :-(



Look like they are all stuck in Mumbai... UPS told me they are still going to try deliver tomorrow. No idea how as Scotland to Mumbai is very far unless plane is direct to my door no chance Sad Monday looks like it :/

Sucks they don't deliver Weekends 

Mine are stuck on the same plane. Given it's a 10 hour direct flight and they won't be going direct, I'm going to very impressed if they pull of a delivery tomorrow, so Monday does seem likely Sad

Also wondering if the most recent orders will be coming with pcie extenders?

They come with pci-e connectors on the board so no need for them.

wait what?  I thought these had screw terminals for power?  I recall someone posting pics.

They still have the screw terminals, but bitmain listened to feedback from customers after the 1st or 2nd group buy and added the pci-e connectors as well.

...Though, — we've also been sleeping in a room with an Avalon, so maybe we've already gone deaf. Smiley

Sleeping with an avalon, yes you must have gone deaf, when I had mine at home it was one floor up and 2 rooms over and I could still hear it. Smiley

Made an order on the 19th early afternoon GMT, yet to be updated  Cry

Same here, had an alert set up for when they came back in stock and ordered within minutes

Everyone who has posted theirs are on the way was ordered after mine Sad

Not concerned at the moment, hopefully it will go tomorrow and get here for the weekend Smiley

PS Just in case bitmain are reading: 00120140119121005434Rp5hJHdF0682 (please put extra fan in box to replace my DOA one as per email, thanks)

That is definitely it. In older versions of cgminer, the total current hashrate was not reported via API so CGWatcher & CGRemote calculated it by adding all of the device's hashrates together. I believe in recent versions of cgminer or bfgminer the total current hashrate is reported. The question is then which one to use. I'm thinking the device shows the actual hashrate, and the 5s total takes into account rejects and hardware errors? Or it's a bug. I guess I should change it to only use the device sum hashrate if the total hashrate isn't available (older versions of cgminer).

My october jupiter is running 3.9.0 and reports correctly, like you say it's just the older ones, my november jupiter has been running sweet so never upgraded the firmware hence the older cgminer (Member of the not broke don't fix it group)

It's no biggie for me, the average is accurate enough and at some point I'll upgrade

I know a few other people are using this for Jupiters, but while it displays the correct "average" hashrate, if you watch cgminer and then watch the CGRemote it does not match the "current hashrate."

It's not a huge deal (it overprojects hashrate by 100-200GH/s--says my Jupiter is doing 900GH/s) but I'm curious if anyone else is having that issue?

Also, Milone, are there smtp notifications for CGRemote? I couldn't find them in the program (if they aren't, can I tack that on a wish list somewhere?)

Thanks

That's odd. If you can send me a bug report, I should be able to tell why this is happening. Click 'Report Bug' in the toolbar, then send me the report it creates.

I can help, it's looks like it's pulling the value from 1 whereas I suppose it should get the 5s value at 2

710  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner on: January 21, 2014, 01:49:06 PM
Hmm, strange that mine makes those noises and yet still somehow works. My temperatures are around 46/47 degrees, going by this thread they seem to be normal. I will try and replace it with my desktop fan and see if it changes, once I get back from work.

Actually to clarify what I meant, the clicking was probably because the fan wasn't moving at all, my temps were rising so it was constantly trying to alter the fan speed to bring the temps down.

Once the fan was unplugged the clicking stopped, and my desk fan was enough to keep it cool.

Yours may not be as bad as it's working a bit and your temps are ok.
711  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner on: January 21, 2014, 12:17:03 PM
Got mine S1 last night and plugged it in straight away. Is it normal for it to be that loud? Also when it starts, the fan seems to be making some clicking noises, they sort of disappear over time as you can hear them anymore over the noise of the fan spinning, is this expected behavior?

are you sure the clicking noise isn't from the the board itself? when it doesn't have internet connection, clicking noise will appear.

100% sure, I had that "no internet connection noise" couple of times and its different. When I start mining, the fan tries to spin itself but somehow fails to do so and only after a minute or so starts to properly spin. Do you reckon the fan might be somehow broken, or is it the power supply to the fan thats causing it?

My two arrived yesterday, one had the same clicking noise you described which was the machine overheating as it's fan was DOA, tried swapping between the two connectors and the two machines to verify.

As soon as I pointed a desktop fan at it, the temps dropped and the clicking stopped.

Asked them to send me a replacement fan with my next order as struggling to find a replacement here in the UK.

Domchi,

Thanks for the update, especially the addition of multiple btc addresses as requested it works like a charm, for the first time in a while I have a complete total from my 20+ addresses and my current pool combined Smiley

Here's hoping the day comes when I can see a 'G' in mne, I wouldn't care about decimals then lol

713  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Antminer S1 open for sale again] The last round before the Chinese New Year on: January 19, 2014, 09:31:36 PM
I'm new to mining and doing transactions via BTC.  Is Miner Fee necessary to make sure transactions are confirmed quickly?  Is 2 hours normal without miner fee?

Any answers are appreciated.

You can be lucky and get included in the next block or it could take a while there's no way of knowing, some pools will prioritise which transactions to include according to transaction fee size especially when there are more transactions than they can include in the block.

I always send more than the recommended fee amount when it's urgent, and this is one of those cases as payment needs to be received within the hour.

I think I might have been given incorrect tracking number, it says my package just went through the customs in Koeln, Germany and I live in United Kingdom.

Would you be able to check that for me Bitmain? My order number is 00120140116205112087Hh2V5vc50665

UPS doesn't fly normal airplane direct routes, I've seen my packages going to India->Saudi Arabia while I'm not in that direction.


I know, this package also went through Dubai, however its the fact that it went through customs in Germany rather than in UK is what made mu curious.

Koln, is the main european hub for UPS, all parcels for the EU go through there. Next stop will probably be East Midlands Airport Smiley

I really like the program, but one of the main features I wanted to work seems to be buggy.

I've created two sheduled rules, one to increase the intensity of the display GPU on idle, and another to detect when the computer is not idle and lower it. The idle rule works 100% of the time, but the not-idle rule only works very occasionally   Embarrassed

The simpler way of doing that is to start the miner with the lower intensity, and use the option on the schedule tab for the higher one when idle, that's how I have it set up without issues.

716  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: January 18, 2014, 12:29:41 AM
The answer is really easy.  They just need to keep selling Jupiters every month until they are done with the Neptune and then switch over.  3000 units a month would keep us in competition with CEX.io and any behind the scenes mining ops.  Not selling Jupiters is surrendering the future of mining to non-KNC customers.  It doesn't make sense.  If they want to take their time with the Neptune, they need to give us some hashing power in the meantime.

*clap*

I said this about 600 pages ago, but Jupiter was a proven product, the last batch was made and shipped in a very short period of time and it's just silly to retire it when it''s still the best out there.  KNC should have used the money they made to invest in the neptune themselves and announce it much nearer the time

I have a very early order for a neptune but was only willing to gamble on one of them with the vague timeline and it's looking a wise decision at this point.

Many of us and KNC themselves no doubt expected a lull in the hashrate growth after the last jupiters shipped but this has not been the case with even greater quantities of hardware appearing to maintain the 30% per difficulty jumps

This means we need new hardware and as said above by rolling, if KNC don't offer anything the money will be going elsewhere, and if they wait too long and another serious competitor appears then mass refunds will follow which will do nothing to help knc's future.

That's strange, I use CGRemote to monitor mine which uses the api and not noticed anything odd in the figures it displays.

If I put one up tomorrow you can have a look before it goes live, and i'll update if need be.
718  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [GUIDE] How to rent your rig on LEASERIG.NET on: January 17, 2014, 08:05:15 PM
This sounds very interesting and I may throw one of my rigs up to try.

Is there any specific reason 3.7.2 is required, all mine run 3.3.1 which is IMHO the best version for scrypt mining as it's the last version to immediately switch pools without delay, rather not update unless it's needed for some function that missing.

Hi,

Interested. Can pick up in person (hopefully if you're in the north of England) and pay BTC (or cash if you want) if we can check that the chips are all working and haven't been burnt out or anything from overclocking...

Smiley


Before you go any further read this thread, pick up in person prevents you losing btc but not your time.

Also note both have almost identical text and registed around same time.

First 6 sold and on their way to Germany tomorrow.

European postage was a lot cheaper than I thought around $10 for the 6 though not by the speediest option, so if you buy more than 5 can still offer free postage, if you want them faster just pay the difference.
