Edit: I am currently running with these settings: --avalon-options 115200:28:10:29:415 --avalon-temp 58 --avalon-freq 415 --bitburner-voltage 1280 --avalon-fan 100 --queue 4  The boards are running at 53 degrees, but the avg speed is at 102Ghash. Shouldn't i be getting ~116Ghash?

Have  you tried 1250mv, 30ms, 415 clock? or the same voltage and 29ms @ 434?  also i dont use --avalon-freq. For some reason is slowing down my hashrate and works better without it.  Also have you tried to use avalon-auto?

Im running below settings for 2 days without any problems at all @ ~8gh average.

--avalon-options 115200:20:10:30:415 --avalon-auto --bitburner-voltage 1250 --avalon-temp 55 --queue 4 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 100

Burnin,

Have you received Batch 2 chips from Zefir?

Yesterday - late afternoon, production will resume on Monday.

[mtbitcoin]

Will these be boards or USB sticks?

Boards like the BitBurners.

Executive summary:
50% refund guaranteed.
70% money recovered when ordering a BitFury product.

Is this % of price with or without VAT?

More details on the refunds:
Shipping - 100%
VAT - will be calculated and refunded partially
Power supplies - 100%
BitBurner Boards - 50%
Stacking Cables - 50%

May I know what is the procedure for requesting for a refund (if its available)

Cheers

[LordTheron]

Burnin,

Could you answer my email please? Last thing to resolve.

TIA

[Andreoid]

Apart from all the requests for a refund,
here some other news:

for all these who want to bring their bitburner to maximum OC,
the waterblocks had left our company this morning to Burnin Electronics.

hope you all get your chips

Maybe someone is in the mood to make a gallery with pictures of all the damages Yifu wreaked. Looking at this mess will probably do something to his CHI problem.

It seems most of the groupbuys will not happen.

SebastianJu is having a poll about refund and currently only 15%
of the chips are still wanted by his groupbuy members. That would
mean 8400 chips from original 56000 chips from his 6 groupbuys.

Hopefully these waterblock can be used on burnin's Furryburners instead.

Yes, how to request a refund?

[RoadStress]

Someone please help me. I have one board that has only the green light blinking and one board that has only green and red lights blinking. What's going on?

Edit:Problem solved!

What hash rate are you able to get your bitburner to? I'm trying to find a decent cgminer setting

Well right now i'm running at 400Mhz at 53 degrees. I posted my settings here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179769.msg3038203#msg3038203 I would run them faster but since it's too hot here i can't and i don't want to go near 55+ degrees.

What hash rate are you able to get your bitburner to? I'm trying to find a decent cgminer setting

After many tests it looks like these are my best settings: 28ms, 450MHz, 1334mV, target temp 30°C and it runs with 53°C giving in average 43.8GH which means 8.76GH per bitburner xx.

I would like to run 5 miners with 5 different settings to test it out but till now i still wait for the answer if its possible to do without the first cgminer finding all miners and using them all.

Running each board with individual settings is rather complicated at the moment.
Each would need to have a individual USB connection to the host.
To do that you would need to disable hot-plug detection in cgminer.
Then connect one miner launch one cgminer instance connect the next board, launch next cgminer and so forth.
But i am sure Kano can be more specific on how to achieve this.

@Kano... can you explain how to achieve if possible?

With the as documented --usb option

Basically, if you want 1 cgminer to grab 1 random BTB use:
 --usb AVA:1
N.B. each BTB is a USB connection, so if you have them all chained together on one USB connection, you can't separate them in cgminer.

If you want it to grab 3, of course:
 --usb AVA:3

The driver is Avalon, so you specify --usb AVA:n

Thus you can run as many cgminers as you like and get them to grab a chosen number of BTB USB boards

You can get more complex and choose which ones exactly also, however, the bus/dev numbers can change due to a device disconnect
Anyway to choose a specific device:
lsusb
This will show something like:
Bus 004 Device 043: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC
(and lots of other USB devices)

The ones of interest are the "ID 0403:6001" devices.

So this means Your BTB is on USB bus 4 device 43
To select this device only:
 --usb 4:43

Read the README for more complex details (this is all in there)

What he can do for you right now is ship the PCBs assembled excluding the chips DUE TO YOUR INABILITY TO PROVIDE SAID CHIPS and keep all the money.

Maybe he should add shop product "assembled pcb without chips" and put price for it. If customer don't send chips in reasonable time he can downgrade order and refund rest? Should fullfit EU laws. He sends something. There are maybe some EU return policy which may complicate things?

And there are maybe customers who are interested to buy assembled board without chips + suitable (mylar?) stencil to add chips at home..

Can you share your cgminer cmd line or config?

Hey burnin,

I wonder if you could put for every discounted bitfuryburner you may sell 1 useless pcb of a bitburner in. As I understood these parts are wasted anyway for paid preordered assembly, I'd like to get over this and have something I can put on my wall. It's still sexy as hell 

offtopic:
Maybe one day my grandchildren will ask "Grandpa, what is it?" - It's an almost finished bitcoin miner, it cost me a fortune and would mine up to 9 gh/s.. "But grandpa, even my watch mines 100x that speed! It's sooo slow" - back then it would mine 0.2btc/day or so when it should have been delivered "Thats a fortune!  " -

That's a brilliant vision of the future, really cheered me up, thanks . I'd love a bitburner XX pcb on my wall too - to remind me of this summer's fun, games and unfortunately the rather rubbish conclusion.

Maybe we could donate any unused bitburner pcbs to an aspiring artist to create some piece of modern art from. If each pcb donated counted as a share of the work then we'd all be rich when it sells for millions to some collector .
