Has anyone had their October starter kits ship yet?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

They still have a few days right? September went out completely before October ... right? Wait till Nov 15, then wonder why you haven't received it. |

(yet  ) I haven't paying close attention to each and every post of all 165 pages. I did notice that some people have claimed shipping of order numbers higher than mine. That's why I was asking, I wanted to make sure I didn't get missed somehow... |

Most orders shipped out newer V1 Hboard for older Mboards. |

Try changing the following lines in miner.h and assuming you are using Auto-tuning. These work best for me #define MAXSPEED 55
#define DEFSPEED 54
#define MINSPEED 53 Thanks. Does this require running 'make' after editing that file? Yes, you need to make it. you can make it inside /opt/bitfury/chainminer directory how would i do this on a running unit edit: think i got it. cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer
pico miner.h
*make edits to file, then exit with saving*
make
sudo reboot |

Are we going to be compensated if units are not received before the end October like the Sept orders were? I'm considering canceling at this point, don't see ROI coming any time soon...

I bought 5 starter kits and I obviously only need 1-2.
I'll sell a 32-37GH/s starter kit for $1200 OBO, includes 1 h-board, raspberry pi and 1 sd card with each kit. you will have to reimage the sd card.
3 starter kits for sale and they will probably get to you before this week is over.

I'd love to pickup another starter kit, but with h-boards already over priced at $500, your asking price is not interesting. |

I've asked via the megabigpower power site as well - any ideas on when the October hardware should be delivered?? I was originally told last week and that's not right, so...  Please point me in the right direction, maybe I missed a post on another thread??..?? I ordered just over three months ago - #33x I received a very kind reply from customer service - should have information later (today?) on availability - I'll post an update if I hear anything and would appreciate it if others did the same! so did this happen paco...we're all eagerly (well, some are begrudgingly) awaiting any news of delivery of v3 hardware for assembly and shipment! |

I haven't noticed that problem myself, running 7 original boards with 8 "new" boards in one rig right now.. Very stable. You got lucky and I did not get lucky ordered 5 Hboards. I got one dead and 4 other shut off about 10 minutes and get very hot. I am having trouble with one of my new v1 H-boards as well shorting out my whole rig. I don't notice anything damaged or anything smelling funny either. I've tried many ways to troubleshoot the problem. My Raspberry PI got shorted out, a diode on the backside burnt out. I had upgraded from v1 Mboard over to v2.3 Mboard. It lasted just 5 minutes or so before burning out. Now back to v1 Mboard. I think the PI does not like being fed power through the pins, and rather expects a micro-usb plug. |

I am not sure if the version of the M-board matters. A month ago my RPi lost its GPIO functionality when I powered down a v1 M-board. I wonder if putting a decoupling capacitor between the GPIO power pin and ground would help? |

Basically the component that blew out is this (D17). It makes sense, I had just powered cycled the M-board, when this guy probably sensed transient voltage, and started destroying itself. After a few minutes magic white smoke. http://www.littelfuse.com/products/tvs-diodes/surface-mount/smbj.aspxSurface Mount TVS Diode tvs diode Web definitions A transient-voltage-suppression diode is an electronic component used to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires. The device operates by shunting excess current when the induced voltage exceeds the avalanche breakdown potential. |

I wonder if putting a decoupling capacitor between the GPIO power pin and ground would help? Part of the problem with powering the Pi from the GPIO pins is that there is no over-voltage protection there - a spike on the m-board's 5V line will destroy the Pi. Ask me - I've got an m-board sitting here that smoked two of them in a matter of days. Powering the Pi from the GPIO pins is, by the way, NOT recommended.... |

Part of the problem looks like the spike protection circuit (the TVS diode). Apparently it smokes up when it senses transient power from the 5V out lines on the GPIO headers. To be on the safe side, I recommend de-soldering D17, the black TVS diode on the back of PI, near the micro-USB plug and green fuse. I have removed it from my other working rPI, and it seems to be pretty happy since last one day. |

Exactly same thing happened. I desoldered the diode, but GPIO functionality is gone. The rPI cannot detect any h-Card. Did your GPIO functionality return? I guess I will order a new PI.
Before you do, measure the 12V at the end of the M-board. I was measuring 4V and the pi also didn't see any H-card. I replaced the psu and all was ok again. (I didn't have a blown diode on the rpi) |

With the rPI with broken GPIO, the 12V rails measure 12.2V, power usage is 70W, and rPI does not detect a single chip / h-board. The rPI boots up and networking works. |

Do you have a download link for the RPi image?
I hope Dave will post the SD image for RPi somewhere so we can revive the miner in case the SD card die ... I know this is old, but I didn't see a link in the thread. Has an official location for the Rasberry Pi August V1 image been posted by Dave anywhere? My sdcard died last night (all LEDs light up... no network connectivity). |
