Looks good! I like the visual specific chain tracking. I'd like some specific tuning capability soon!

Hey Dr.Mann - thanks for looking out for the community.

But your posts are really...long winded and annoying.  Like all of them for the past 4 weeks.

It's not about anything coming off as off topic or personal - you just write in an irritating corporate tone.  Something a lot of us joined this community to avoid.

You kind of sound like Karen, from HR.  Maybe just give it a break?

https://whohaha.com/karen-from-hr/

Lol. This gave me a chuckle.

I'd still have a drink with the Dr even though we don't see eye to eye. I look forward to him uncovering Halong's offshore legal service address in Belize Tongue

It is a good graphic easy to see if things are working close to correct.

@Sandal_Hat: I actually can't believe I have to defend myself here for doing the exact opposite of what you claim. I must insist that you do a basic fact check before you accuse anyone of "unethical conduct." You could not be any more mistaken about me and Unicornflex. Contrary to your claim, I have never praised Halong Mining for its greatness or otherwise tried to elevate the company for "marketing purposes." Unicornflex never did so either. I am not shilling for Halong or anyone else. I have no secret PR agenda or ulterior motives. Unicornflex has done the exact opposite of what you have claimed. The link you posted in which you allege he is "praising" Halong, he actually does the opposite and excoriates Halong. He made the case on why he has doubts about Halong, and in a constructive manner urged Halong to set the record straight, which Halong declined to do. I have written in detail providing reasoned support for the validity of his concerns. I did so because I shared his concerns. In doing so, I have painstakingly tried to be as objective as possible and provide as much supporting evidence as possible.

The "massive" sales numbers of the DragonMint that he and I shared with this community were intended to show not how "great" Halong Mining is, but rather to demonstrate the potential magnitude of the epic scam that he and I both suspected that Halong Mining could be. I did not share this information for personal gain, but rather to try to help people possibly avoid getting scammed. I have no other motivation. At the time I first started posting in February, I was all but convinced Halong was a scam. I have since written and still believe that we should all consider Halong Mining an illegitimate operation until and unless it reveals its incorporation number and proof that its claimed FCC certification for the DragonMint actually exists. After reputable individuals vouched for the existence of the DragonMint, such as -ck, then and only then, I posted that I felt I would receive the DragonMints for which I had paid, but I still maintained that Halong was not behaving in the way legitimate companies operate, and that all potential buyers should beware.

I know Unicornflex only because I bought some Antminer S9 units from him last year, a transaction that I also shared using the "Trust" feature of this community. I have no interest in promoting or questioning any hardware mining company. I am an actual customer of Halong Mining who demands transparency from them. Support my efforts in that endeavor for our mutual benefit, or don't. Your choice. In my case, I regretted buying from Halong once I realized I could not verify Halong's incorporation. I still regret my purchase. I became even more worried once I learned Halong was unwilling to do anything to help quell fears about claims Halong was a scam operation.

To help others make informed an informed decision about Halong, I shared the results of my due diligence research on Halong and its affiliate "MyRig, Inc." Because others seemed to value my research (into which I put considerable effort), I continued to post in this thread to help shed light about Halong and MyRig and to help introduce myself to this community, which I have come to appreciate. We have seen progress. In response to my posts and those of others, this community's collective examination helped to reveal the Japanese incorporation number of "MyRig" (at least its name, apparently translated into Japanese) for the first time in this forum. In addition, I revealed that MyRig, Inc. is not incorporated in Colorado even though it holds itself out as authorized to do business in that state. My research also supported the inescapable fact that Halong is an anonymous operation that is attempting to operate with impunity.

I shared in this thread numerous times my skepticism of Halong Mining and my concern that I would not receive the DragonMint units I purchased. I explained I felt this way because Halong miserably failed my due diligence tests. I posted that I thought my buying from Halong was impulsive and a mistake on my part. I vowed I'd never purchase from Halong again. (I can prove I am a Halong customer through photos and video if I ever receive my April Batch 2 shipment.)

I do not care about the success or failure of any mining hardware manufacturer. I have no financial interest in any of these companies, including Halong and Bitmain, except to the extent I may need warranty work from one of them some day on my miners. However, if a company operates ethically in the marketplace, delivers good value, gives good support, and treats its customers with respect, I hope it succeeds. Halong has not operated this way for the many reasons I have discussed at length previously.

I've tried to be respectful (yet fair and firm) to everyone and every business in this thread, including you, Halong Mining, Bitmain, and others. I've been as objective as I can possibly be. I've fact checked extensively the subject matter about which I've posted.  I've tried to support every statement I make with sound reasoning or hard evidence (for example, screenshots of the FCC database when I could not verify Halong's FCC certification claim, or Secretary of State records when I could not verify its affiliate MyRig, Inc.'s incorporation).  When someone posted that they doubted one could sue Bitmain, I wrote extensively explaining in detail exactly how you could sue Bitmain anywhere in the world.

You are off base suggesting that I have questionable ethics. I've behaved above board. I did not suddenly discover Unicornflex's post, I was speaking with him the day he posted it back in February. I disclosed this fact in an earlier post. I have not posted yet on any other threads in this forum, because I am a new here and want to wait to make sure I post only when I have value to add. I understood that was the expected behavior of users of this forum. Do you realize that? I would encourage you to do the same instead instead of acting in an unacceptable way toward new users. Judge newbies by the content of their message, and not by the creation date of their account and the number of threads in which they post. This community should welcome newbies to make constructive, objective contributions -- and not verbally assault them as you have done.

I regret if some find this message too personal or "off topic", but being publicly accused of acting unethically when I have taken the utmost care to act honorably, as Sandal_Hat has done, is way beyond the pale and required my public response. Thank you.

I didnt read most of your post. It is too long and nutty.  Look,

Common sense - there are alot of new accounts or accounts that post in this thread only, as can be seen.
There are alot of unsubstantiated claims from these particular accounts.

I dont dislike u but all your posts are only in this thread and u join recently...thus suspicious
Somehow, u can notice unicornflex's ONE single post (that claims huge sales) in a 90 page thread and u blindly believe it.
That post occurred BEFORE u even posted in this thread. U read many pages backwards??
Unicornflex then appears straight away, after being missing for super long.... juz too weird here.
Many pages back, I predicted that dimaze will give very good results on any test he does and I was right. He even claim it is on spec at one point. Lazy to write every reason but this fellow only post in this thread for whole of 2018.

So, my suspicion is that u r all juz the same person or group.
Past pages had numerous newbie accounts claiming they have ordered, they think it is good, etc etc. It looks like a marketing campaign of new accounts.

There is no explanation on how halong first utube demo video in Nov 2017 shows 1460watts @16.2 TH as it is...as it shows worse numbers now.

Thus, it is fair to point out this shadyness.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, there are real 3rd party doing the test. So , lets juz wait for the new firmware and see the numbers. And see how good or bad this device is. This mystery has been going on for months now. Finally the conclusion Smiley

yeah  i have 5 + 1 six

they  all do 15.2 to 15.6

if you really look at the pcb they are similar to the s-9 but they are not s-9's

I have firmware upgrade on two of them.   -ck says there will be more firmware upgrades

Until the firmware is improved,
I feel that it is kind of false advertising to say that the T1 is the most power efficient machine available.

At the moment there are three different machines that can achieve about the same power efficiency level (~0.10 J per GH/s)
--> Antminer S9, AvalonMiner 841 and DragonMint T1.

The T1 can only mine on 2 pools right now and needs special stratum side options to work at full speed so it's like a production car that needs special fuel that isn't widely available to achieve that 0-100 kmh in 1.2 seconds

they did and it was proven to be true as well. the s9 is over a year old and others are just now touching the same sort of power consumption they hit goin on 2 years ago. I think that is somethin worth braggin about. this only covers miners that we know of and not ones running in private mines like bitfury...only ones released to the public.

now i do have 1 question for all of u t1 buyers....y did u decide to buy these when they only work for 2 pools?? doesnt that limit your choices pool wise?? also what if u want to mine ppc or something?? u guys paid more money for under performing specs that use more power and have less options mining wise all to tell bitmain "fuck u"?? im all for other options to keep prices of machines down. I totally get that and im 100% for that but in the end no one buys these with the expectation to not break even. no one gives money away (if ne of u do lmk and i will help free u from that burden) so im genuinely askin y do people want these machines and why are they happy with getting less than promised??

also doesnt asicboost provide 20% increases in earnings give or take?? does that mean the actual speed of the machine is 12th/s and not the advertised 16th/s (seems about 15.5th/s is a safe estimate)?? I guess it doesnt matter since they can only be used with bitcoin and on the 2 pools that allow asicboost. I personally would like to have the option of mining ppc bch or btc even if im going to mine just 1...having choices is nice.

lastly no having 3 cars hit 100 in 1.2 secs doesnt allow either of them to make that claim. using the word "fastest" doesnt imply its the same as others or leave it up to the reader to decide. the term "fastest" by itself is a direct statement saying it beats every other car out there no ifs ands or buts. now if they used "one of the fastest" that is acceptable since they arent misleading consumers but "fastest by itself would be a lie and leaves them open to hate from the car community and also legal issues in some areas.

I didn't buy one of these... but wanted to chime in. The early buyers did not KNOW about the AsicBoost issue, so they bought not even knowing there would be use limitations going forward.

This is true  no one new about asicboost until  Feb  of this year.

I don't have any issues  mining at ck pool
Slush is  a meh for me.

but  the gear does not do  16th or 1480 watts.

every one of the six I have does over  1600 watts on a myrig psu.  that is an issue.

not a single one of the six I have does over 15.8th long term.    that is an issue.

To anyone that purchased looking to solo mine BCH  they would be hurt.
To anyone that purchased looking to solo mine BTC  they would be hurt.

Yeah, people didn't know about it until official announcement in March 2018.

At the moment it is two different pools and BTC only.

Mentioning that the miner supports SHA256 algo is kind of incorrect, because it only does Bitcoin and two different pools at the moment.

ooo ok if thats the case why arent folks more upset about this situation i wonder?? im not experienced with the ins and outs of this whole dragonmint story so i prob shoulda known this before.

it feels like they shouldnt claim 16th/s (even if it mines at that speed) because it technically isnt 16th/s because of asicboost. from what i have seen folks paid a pretty steep premium for these machines and got not only underperforming hardware but also less software compat than originally stated. thats seems wrong to me and i feel kinda bad for the folks that got duped by this. even with the known info that preorders from unknown companies arent smart it doesnt change the fact that the company lied about what they were selling and even after that havent done ne thing publicly to give back to the customers that they duped...

i dont think ck or slush r bad pools but i also dont think users should be forced to mine only at those 2 pools. even if they add more pools the fact that u cant mine other coins except btc is a kick in the nutz. im shocked others arent mentioning that 16th/s and 16th/s with asic boost arent the same at all. if they do figure out how to allow u to mine ppc with these machines u will only get 12.8th/s and thats ONLY IF the machine truely mines at 16th/s with asicboost which based on the info trusted folks have posted so far isnt the case. to be fair bitmains s9 is 13+ th/s without any sketchy hidden asicboost or ne of that mess. i feel halong shoulda posted the actual hashrate of the machine not the 20% bloated number they did post.

without asic boost the miner would do 12.8th/s if it did 16th/s with asic boost....does that also mean the power will be the same 1600w that people r seein or will that go down by 20% like the hashrate would go down?? if it stays the same that makes them way less efficient  than they promised. also if the s9 used asic boost and gained 20% speed wouldnt that make them even more efficient than they r now proving halongs claim to the fastest most efficient miner available wrong as well?

either way they seem to lose and lost trust but in the end i think folks r just happy that they got something even if it doesnt work properly and isnt what was promised. i hope they get refunds or somethin to make things right.

it feels like they shouldnt claim 16th/s (even if it mines at that speed) because it technically isnt 16th/s because of asicboost. from what i have seen folks paid a pretty steep premium for these machines and got not only underperforming hardware but also less software compat than originally stated. thats seems wrong to me and i feel kinda bad for the folks that got duped by this. even with the known info that preorders from unknown companies arent smart it doesnt change the fact that the company lied about what they were selling and even after that havent done ne thing publicly to give back to the customers that they duped...

i dont think ck or slush r bad pools but i also dont think users should be forced to mine only at those 2 pools. even if they add more pools the fact that u cant mine other coins except btc is a kick in the nutz. im shocked others arent mentioning that 16th/s and 16th/s with asic boost arent the same at all. if they do figure out how to allow u to mine ppc with these machines u will only get 12.8th/s and thats ONLY IF the machine truely mines at 16th/s with asicboost which based on the info trusted folks have posted so far isnt the case. to be fair bitmains s9 is 13+ th/s without any sketchy hidden asicboost or ne of that mess. i feel halong shoulda posted the actual hashrate of the machine not the 20% bloated number they did post.

without asic boost the miner would do 12.8th/s if it did 16th/s with asic boost....does that also mean the power will be the same 1600w that people r seein or will that go down by 20% like the hashrate would go down?? if it stays the same that makes them way less efficient  than they promised. also if the s9 used asic boost and gained 20% speed wouldnt that make them even more efficient than they r now proving halongs claim to the fastest most efficient miner available wrong as well?

either way they seem to lose and lost trust but in the end i think folks r just happy that they got something even if it doesnt work properly and isnt what was promised. i hope they get refunds or somethin to make things right.

I think you are misunderstanding how this asicboost thing works. It increases efficiency and lower power draw, it does not increase the hashing speed. 16th is still 16th, except the miners are all way out of spec. The only person i have seen post something saying its close to spec is dimaze, and he has shilled so hard and been so defensive about Halong he most likely has some kind of back channel connection that hasnt been made public. There is no other reason to argue with logic and facts.

Either way Halong has acted with bad intentions from the beginning. The fact that you cant even mine say BCH, or some other sha256 coin makes these miners even bigger piles of crap than first thought. This was never disclosed to anyone who purchased the machine either. All this was done while they shouted from the rooftops about how they were all about giving people choices and helping the bitcoin networks decentralization. The Halong guy can come in here and make claims about why they did what they did but it just doesnt add up.


Halong will not prove they can legally do business the way they are currently doing it.
Halong lied about the machines capabilities from day one.
Halong shipped miners that cannot meet advertised specs.


The fact that anyone is supporting them seems utterly ridiculous to me. A bad actor is a bad actor, despite them saying all the proper buzzwords to get the parrots in this community squawking along with them.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

hmmm i thought ur hashrate at the pool was determined by how many shares u submitted to the pool in a set amount of time. that means if u use asic boost u get to cheat around and send some extra shares bumpin the hashrate the pool sees by up to 20% right?? i thought it was the same as regular s9 mining in the sense that sometimes shares take a little longer to send sometimes makin ur pool side hashrate drop and sometimes shares get sent faster by pure luck and it makes ur hashrate go up slightly higher then spec. Since asicboost is turned on that must mean its submitting up to 120% more shares than it would in the same amount of time 100% would be sent that was how i interpreted that workin out. If you set the diff really high on a pool it takes longer to submit as well which also makes the hashrate shown go down. this would imply that the t1 miners hashrate isnt 16th/s like they said (excluding the facts that they dont mine to spec even with asicboost active) its really 12.8 about if the hashrate was at a perfect 16th/s. the power draw should remain the same with and without asicboost because the boost would just mean more shares r submitted in the same time frame but the power will remain the same constant rate aside from fan speed changes and stuff like that. activating asicboost doesnt reduce the power by 20% per miner.

i agree they lied and customers got less than they were promised. its a shame they had to ruin their rep like this. i hope they provide a resolution sooner rather than later. its already been too long to provide one but better late than never right?? otherwise who will trust what they say if they do this again??

Quite honestly, if I had not met Scott in person (as he lives close to me), I would of waited till the miners were being delivered and in hands of consumers. I've been around the block with plenty of ASIC manufacturers. I felt fine with purchasing Halong units after meeting him, and I'm a very happy customer of theirs (Got quite a few B29s which are killing it in ROI -- thread available here for that). I've been fairly active in their telegram and it's a great resource. That's pretty much the extent of my channel with Halong. I'm sure anyone that was in a similar position with a manufacturer representative living so close to them would do the same thing, and I'm always happy to report here, to help the community.

As for performance, my unit did hash at the advertised spec after an hour, and within variance of the power drain at the wall before tearing it down. However, after the firmware update and a calibration (which in hindsight, I shouldn't have done, it was hashing just fine), my outer boards began to perform worse than the middle one (about 0.25-35TH less each), this is more in line with what some people are reporting. Halong indicated they're working on Firmware updates, so I'm hopeful they sort out any issues people are having with the firmware. I'll be doing some more testing on my unit including some more detailed pictures, that will be posted to and updated on my review thread. I'm happy to test anything anyone can think of in that thread Smiley

Here's a performance tab teaser they said they're working on:

Tuning kicks in when the temperature is in the optimal range.

what is the optimal range number ?


Miner Info

#   Hash Rate   Status---Accepted/Rejected------   HW---   Temperature
1   5.25 TH/s   Alive-------1027/0------------   617---   71 ℃
2   5.27 TH/s   Alive-------1107/0------------   864---   68 ℃
3   5.15 TH/s   Alive-------1028/0------------   1215--   69 ℃

these are the 3 temps for each board.
Around 70-75 degrees.

but  the gear does not do  16th or 1480 watts.

every one of the six I have does over  1600 watts on a myrig psu.  that is an issue.
By the way, the unit says 1480W on the side of it. The myrig PSUs are rated at 92% efficiency. That would work out to 1608W at the wall. While the hash rate might be lower than advertised, isn't that close to spec on power? I'm not making excuses for them, but I'm wondering if everyone's expecting them to be 1480 draw at the wall?
