I had an H-card fail and have been trying to RMA it since Dec 15th.
On Dec 18th got this email:
Hi Alex,
I have received your RMA and I expect to be able to ship out your replacement this week. I will include a return label for your faulty unit. Thank you for doing business with us.
--
Best Regards,
Yvonne
It didn't ship...
Asked again on Dec 26th...got this response:
Hi Alex,
I apologize for the continued delay, due to the holidays shipping has been interrupted, we expect to be able to ship your order soon. I will contact you as soon as it ships.
Best Regards,
Yvonne
....
This card has been down for nearly 2 difficulty periods. There is no way to recover the lost revenue at this point. I was going to order another full kit in January, but now I am going with Antminers. Get your customer service together!!!!!

Is anyone interested in pooling an order for a reel of Bitfury chips? I want at least 100 myself, but will take up to 500 personally. I am interested in a group buy if Megabigpower has no aversion to it. I would rather just order through one, but will organize one if there is enough interest.

OK, I started a thread for a group buy for bare chips. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=396536.new#newEverything is tentative right now since I have not heard back from megabigpower, I just sent an email last night stating I want to purchase 1 reel. Right now I am just taking reservations to see if there is enough interest to fill a full reel. So I am not requiring payment until it is official, but we only have till the 7th to get this all together. I am adding the 3 people that responded last night, but please confirm in the group buy thread. |

I spent a day trying to get two to run on a machine that was running blue furys and gave up. After reading the forum a bit, i get the feeling that antminers want their own machine. I've got two sitting on a shelf doing nothing. |

Yeah I found the 180GH stand alone units to be stupidly simple to setup and very reliable once up and running. Bitfury units on the other hand (perhaps with the exception of v2.2 h-cards with the latest motherboard) are finicky and prone to errors and drops in hashrate. You have to spend a lot of time hand tuning the rigs and even then the cards could just mysteriously decide to crap out on you with SPI and MISO errors, etc.
Anyways, the conclusion is that currently antminers offer better value for the money. If you want the absolute most power efficient though you still have no choice but to go with bitfury rigs.

+1. If bitfury was the same $/GHash I would probably take an antminer, even at the expense of 2x the power use. The antminer is incredibly stable at 200GH (+/- 2%), is structurally sound (no wobbling cards or the M-board tipping over due to a heavy RPI/ethernet cord), and very easy to setup. oh, and you wont be reformatting SD cards everytime you turn off the power |

We find that placing the rigs on their left side eliminates the wobble and keeps the power cords from tugging the m-boards over. Dave marked the USBs down, and the sale price for the full / half / quarter rigs are still valid. We are shipping daily, as we have everything in stock. https://megabigpower.com/shop/ |

Shutting the rig down properly would keep that from happening. I've never had an SD card get scrambled. That said, I ordered one of the Antminer boxes yesterday. I'd like to fill up my Bitfury rig (14 empty slots available), but the bang-for-the-buck just isn't there at current prices. For BTC3, which would you pick: 180-200 GH/s for the Antminer S1 or 75-105 GH/s for three H-cards? One option approximately doubles my total hashrate, while the other triples it. |
