[ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe

[zyyz]

here the same issue.

[-Redacted-]

Metabank and now BFSB are both restricted to their target markets.
Anyone know why Bitfury based devices aren't easily sold to the US?

Sold to the US just fine through megabigpower...

in the meantime hashrate is shooting to the roof

This quote is rather old and before MBP was announced on 7/7/2013. 
During that time gap, it looked like Americans were going to need to re-export from Europe like the Metabank miners.

punin, can u please check my issue ?

thx

I am not using any sort of mod.   Just an open air case designed by spotswood and 6x coolermaster silent fans.   I may have just gotten a lucky batch of chips.

@punin could you please check my mail regarding payment problems with an october order?

cheers

I would really like to see your .stat.log file. Can you upload it to pastebin and send me a link?

Without any proof I can not believe that anyone is getting as much as 450 GH/s from 16 H-cards, unless they are modified.

Hi,
every night my bitfurys stopped working on eligius pool...but in the web interface stand the correct hashing rate...
everyone else has this problems? i must shut down, restart it some time than it works again...

Has happened to me couple of times on Bitminter.

Same here, different pool. You may not need to restart the whole miner. Restarting the proxy seems to fix it in my case:

sudo /opt/bitfury/start-stratumproxy.sh

[CryptoCluster]

punin, I am also waiting for answer to mailed question. I must take action in few days, there are deadlines I am forced to keep . It would be great if you find time to reply. Even info when you will have time would be something for now...

Here is an example of the log running at 440 GH/s, it tends to jump up and down a bit but most of the day so far it has sat around 445.   It seems to drop once I log in with putty.

Unbelievable! You have very good H-cards. I admit I was wrong.

Auto tune is also working exactly as it should be: every chip at 55, even the bad ones. I wonder why the dead chips aren't at zero but it looks like it doesn't really matter.

How can I stabilize the stratum proxy and share difficulty (I'm assuming it's ok to assign somehow a fixed number once I know which one works best) ?

Reported noncerate on my Bitfury Admin page keeps dropping out of nowhere and I have to keep restarting it every 2-3 hours. Only then does it gets fixed. That proxy seems so damn fickle and unstable even at a perfectly controlled, constant temperature. Worst than my girlfriend swinging mood.

Is there anyone who can confirm/deny that C05I and C04I on the M-card are supposed to be soldered together on one side?
My M-Card apparently doesn't work (powersupply auto-shuts within less than 1 sec after powering on), although I don't see any of the "known possible defects" (http://imgur.com/a/t3AKx) on the card, except the C05I and C04I soldered together on one side.

Some pictures here:

(C05I and C04I are the 2 lower condensators in the group of 4 in the middle of the picture)

Does anyone know if I can just send my board back, or what the normal course of action is? (I used the bitfurystrikesback contactform yesterday but haven't received a reply yet)

Thanks

They aren't supposed to touch each other, but it's not a problem because they are wired in parallel on the board.

do you have a dummy load/short for the mobo detection circuit? without it a psu will not turn on, or will quickly turn back off

[Trupik]

To my limited knowledge, there is no "mobo detection circuit". There is only "/PS_ON" - green wire that should be shorted to GND if you want the PS to be turned ON. If the PS is turned OFF, it does not provide 12V on any rail.

same thing, different jargon

Someone may find this useful... If your pool reports your hashrate dropping regularly DESPITE bitfury admin showing steady noncerate:

1) ssh into your pi
2) run command: crontab -e
3) add this line at the end of file:

*/10    *       *       *       *       sudo /opt/bitfury/start-stratumproxy.sh

4) save & exit

It will restart your stratum proxy every 10 minutes from now on. If you want to cancel it, just run the command again and delete the line.

Although every 10min?

I am only experiencing this issue with Slush's pool, all others been running fairly stable.
