Been away from this thread for a while. But I see I have not missed much.
Same slanders, different posters.

Received my new 1/2 kit yesterday and got it working today. My first one is a v1 with 16 boards at 460 Gh/s. It has one bad port and some of the boards are EOL's that don't hash much.
But this new kit out of the box is going 240 Gh/s. No tuning or anything. So once I set up decent cooling I should be able to get 300 Gh/s out of it.
Has anyone heard from Spotwood??? I sent him an email and posted on his thread that I wanted a new case. But it's been days with no reply.

This one is working because my boards are hot. But how do I get into it to change the pools.

I just got my new kit. Kit #2 for me. Have it all hooked up.
Tried to bring it up on my browser but it's not showing up.
I ssh into it to make sure the ip address is correct. Which it is. Also ran Advanced IP Scanner and that ip shows up as active with pi.
Rebooted a number of times. Still won't show up. Any thoughts?

Sorry to post technical on the sales thread but does anyone have or know where I can get an image for the V3 M board. Nothing on the OP and not getting answers from the other threads.
Thanks!!

Ordered a new kit and expect it today. I assume it will be a V3 M-Board. But it's unclear where to find an image file for V3. The OP just lists V1 and V2.
Anyone know?
If you find one let me know where to get it.., so I can host it. Only have V1 image so far. V2 is on the OP. |

Bunch of pessimistic, butthurt babies in this thread...
If you're questioning whether or not you should take the risk for financial reasons you probably should spend your money on groceries or diapers for your child.
You are so enlightening. Pri:-*k |

Do BitFury rigs overclock well? Is it reasonable to expect 500 GH? Are they reliable? I read a good number of horror stories on this thread from folks who had a lot of trouble getting all 16 boards to work correctly due to board wobble and poor connections. Does the SD card still get corrupted when the machine is powered off?
Yes, yes (510-515), and yes. To prevent wobble order a really nice case from spotswood: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267713.0The newer kits have the v3 m-board with newer chain miner software, which includes a proper shutdown button on the web interface. Otherwise ssh into the device and issue a 'sudo halt' to cleanly shutdown the RPi. No corruption. I have 13 out of 16 possible boards and I'm running 450 Gh/s. V1 H boards, V2 M board Ordered an 8 board miner yesterday and it's being delivered tomorrow. That's how the world is suppose to work! |

Yesterday after I bought the 2.4BTC miner I went back to the site to see if I could get another.
My only option was a price of 2.65BTC. So I put it in my cart but did not buy it as I had no btc and really did not expect to have enough until late this week.
But I had a little windfall so I went to the site on another pc and tried to buy one, but could not. It appears they were out. But when I sign in to my account on my laptop my cart still has one miner in it for 2.65BTC. Just sittin' there. So I bought it and it's been confirmed. Nice glitch!

So they take a pre-order so they got the money to develop the asics.
Then they mine with them until the difficulty is high and sell them after half a year..
This is why I got a refund. As soon as I heard someone was in charge of chip development I was out. If they don't even have a chip it will be 9 months of my money sitting there. Got much better uses for it. And if it does take them that long, someone else could end up shipping before them. |

Here's some quick documentation I wrote up from the cgminer driver code, in preparation of writing the BFGMiner driver: L Identify*
I Get info
0x10 bytes response:
uint8: protocol version
protocol version 2 has an implicit external clock if chip count is 1
char[8]: product name
if "DRILLBIT", fill in "Thumb" or "Eight" appropriately
uint32le: serial number
uint8: chip count
uint16le: capability bitmask
0x0001 Temperature sensor
0x0002 External clock
R Reset*
C Configure
Request followed by 6 bytes:
1 byte: core voltage config
0x01 850mV
uint8: clock level
uint8: "clock_div2"
uint8: use external clock? 0 or 1
uint16le: external clock frequency
1 byte response: 'C'
T Get temperature
2 byte response:
uint16le: Temperature in decidegrees celcius
E Get completed work
Response:
uint32le: number of works finished (max 1024)
For each work, 68 bytes:
uint16le: chip id
uint8: number of nonces found (max 16)
uint8: non-zero if chip idle, otherwise 0 if busy
uint32le[16]: nonces
W Send work to chip
Request followed by 46 bytes:
uint16le: chip id
uint256le: midstate
uint8[12]: data tail
1 byte response: 'W'
Is bfgminer live with Drillbit support yet? |

Rich I sent you an email ordering another BitFury case. Did you receive it?
