Dear All

I deeply apologize for the delay in delivery of your orders. Hopefully the people responsible for this fu*kup have been sacked. I will refund everyone who paid for express and we will review our shipping pricing policy.

Was expending stuff last week, but nothing arrived.. I'm sure we'll get some stuff next week, but if it's the new boards we need a few days to get acquainted with them.

Was the "new" H-Cards the new stuff you were talking about, or are you releasing some all new hardware?

Is there a way to get notified, I missed the Nov 5 release.

I think it would be great to have USB hardware, so we can choose how we setup our network/H-Cards. Raspberry is not known for stable WiFi. And the M-Boards are just not... how can I put this, flexible!

[server]

as long as you are fair and honest with us, we will stick with you punin, have a good weekend

btw I received my package monday morning, so no damage.

All boards run smooth and steady, thanks

[rammy2k2]

i confirm i received my boards too, all good

Bitpay issues

Dear all, we have had some issues with bitpay payments not clearing to our webshop correctly. I will keep an eye on bitpay account ledger from now on just to double check that you have paid (if the time window for the payment closes for some reason, the order status will not change to processing.) I apologize for the shipping delay caused by this.

We have been testing the new M-boards and H-cards today and they seem to work ok, but are running quite hot with the factory pot settings. Max clock speed is 52 to avoid overloading the regulator. We are not comfortable shipping this product yet without further testing and perhaps changing the pot to lower core voltage setting. (which is really slow to do manually, so we need to ask the factory to do this). I will wait until tomorrow for the H-card order wire payments, and if they don't clear there will be some more H-cards up for grabs tomorrow.

thanks for the info punin, will there be more old Hboards?

[goxed]

Guys how much would it cost per board to manufacture and assemble the H-boards in quantity of 100? I am thinking of getting it done in the USA, since H-boards are not available and only chips are available

We looked into it. I think we got quoted somewhere around $130 per board. Not including the chips... But If you can find a cheap manufacturer go for it.

Aah okay, I will try to get some quotes and see where it stands. Thanks.

Okay I want to brainstorm my ideas a little bit.
Here's what I am going to do. I am thinking of decoupling the voltage regulator from the PCB since it causes so much overheating issues. It will reduce board BOM and hopefully faster turnaround by PCB manufacturer.

I am planning to use multiples of this regulator since the output can be paralleled (~$55 e.a.)

http://www.intersil.com/en/tools/reference-designs/isl8225meval3z.html


a) Order chips ($25 ea on megabigpower.com)
b) Order decoupling capacitors for ASICs
c) Get PCB made and assembled by the PCB company (only solder ASIC + decoupling caps. No need to solder voltage regulator section)
d) Order Voltage regulators
e) Test assembled cards
f) Mine
g) If successful, sell to interested parties

NOTE

Due to my personal epic screw-up the SD image does not contain a working binary. And on top of this some orders were shipped without instructions also We have whipped ourselves vigorously here over the weekend and will try to improve our process so these bloopers don't happen in the future.

Here's how to get your miner working:
1. Check your router for bitfury IP
2. SSH into the raspberry pi (username pi password raspberry)
3. Run following commands:

Code:

cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo killall screen
sudo /etc/rc.local

You should now be mining. You can check the web interface of the miner with a normal browser and setup your pools there (use the IP that you used for SSH).

i followed the instructions above. now my unit keeps truning off after it loads to the login and password page. did i do something wrong? i have the US v2 Hboard

Than why are u reading the EU section ?

[goxed]

Guys I have a question about the H-board.

Where can I download the H-board layout file? I am trying to get one manufactured.

Thanks

BTW all inf you find in OP here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=287590.msg3079405#msg3079405

[rammy2k2]

punin, any news with new / old cards ? 

[GandalfG]

Old or new, anything with hashing power
Did you see how hashrate grown in 2 day ? Over one PH/s. I suppose thats KNC setup and running new hosting for his customers.
I'm worried about next Diff level.

i'm interesting in buy some h-cards v1.2, when will be available ?

[KfrogCT]

Anybody know where to pick up a V3 M-board to play around with?
