I'm a newbie and just got a Hashra miner along with a few others from Bitmains - the Hashra one was bought from eBay purely because I thought it looked nice (yep idiot me)
It appears their website now longer at service and there's no way to find their supporting team, firmware updates, etc. etc.
They appear to be registered in the UK (I'm in the UK)
Their record and registered office seems to be fraudulent (can't confirm this but:
http://interfraud.org/ni_british_connection.htm)
I actually don't care whether they went bust or directors gone jail, is there anywhere/support for their legacy hardware (which seems all working miners)?

04/04/2015 update========
I've finally got it up and running - I ended up using Minera image with a custom built bfgminer which is fantastic. The Hashra miner now runs at 14Mhs at Ghash's multi-pool (have been several hours now and haven't got a payout yet)
Now the problem is that bfgminer shows HW 7.3% and Rejects 4.5%, however the Minera UI shows HW 4.3% and Rejects 6.83% which doesn't match up -- and even matching up, the results aren't good. I also bought 4 Antminer S3 at the same and the HW & Rejects on those were so few that I can simply consider it as 0% HW and 0% Rejects... I have no idea maybe I still have something wrongly configured on the Minera/Hashra miner, but really fed up playing with this thing now. Will leave it running for a few days then decides it's fate if it loses more money.
Anyone if you experience similar before or think it might be my configuration issue please give me a hint...-------
FOR WHO'S ALSO NEWBIE AND TRYING TO FIND HOW TO SETUP (Hashra Lunar Lander Warp1 -- but I guess you can play with the parameters for different versions as long as they are Zeus chips)
The last change log I have on my paper that made it work is:
1) Use latest Minera image downloaded from Minera website
2) Updated and upgraded raspberry pi, and installed gcc 4.9 on the pi for compilation
3) Ran the retuild miner script provided under /var/www/minera to rebuild the miner software with the latest
4) mkdir at /var/www/minera/minera-d/custom for a new clone of latest Darkwinde bfgminer from
https://github.com/Darkwinde/bfgminer5) compile ( no need for additional options because this bfgminer is specific for Zeus miners )
6) copy the new executable and rename to /var/www/minera/minera-d/custom/bfgminer-darkwinde
7) in Minera settings choose this new custom build, and in the mannual options section use:
--set zus:chips=64 --set zus:clock=328 --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1 --scrypt -S zus:/dev/ttyUSB0 (Note play with it for your verion)
--- the PDF I got for Hashra was that it uses 128 chips, however when I set zus:chips=128 it worked but the Minera statistics doubled the hashrate which was amazing but totally wrong so I set it to 64 in case I was reading the wrong Hashra manual -- it worked at 14+ Mhs so I guess I was right
Hopefully the setup guide above helps for any other newbies like me entering the bitcoin/altcoin world....
[Conclusion]
The Hashra miner cost me over 14 hours to set up, which could worth many years of mining bitcoin returns if considering it as my professional working hours! no mention the frustrations of compiling different versions of miner software plus configuration - and failing results.
Best advice whoever reading this and have a second-hand (or new) no-more-supported Hashra - use the guide above if you are IT ninja like me, or throw it as I guess there's no point to see how it loses your money after joy of setting it up....
