Holy moly, that's awful soldering. That's how you make magic smoke come out of mysterious black boxes and such. They look like they were hand soldered by a high school student just starting out with no knowledge of the difference between a closed, open, or shorted circuit (they're all circuits, right?). Time to break out the desoldering kit. Relevant Wikihow with solder wick or solder sucker: http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-SolderPSA: DO NOT fire up your Bitfury without looking over *all* of your solder connections. You can usually fix these by running the tip of a clean soldering iron between the bridged pins. Some of the excess solder will stick to the iron. Clean it off and repeat until the bridge is gone. If that doesn't fix it, then it's time to move on to solder wick... |

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

News from Punin: "Here are photos of some of the soldering issues we've encountered. Please check your boards!" http://imgur.com/a/t3AKxIsn't that's why Dave is testing all the boards before shipping it out? +1 I rather have them tested and few days late than not tested and ready for fireworks. |

Did you order through Dave (US)or punin (EU / UK) If through Dave, then what is your order number.? |

Google translate doesn't do so well translating the Russian forum sometimes..... Noticed a time when the earth is noisy and connected to it 1-3 pin current mirror circuit, the chip loses speed when connected directly to a normal land recovers.
Which means noisy and normal? Children are usually the pins are connected to the substrate

except for UPS, FDX, and DHL.... Those TLAs will give our PCBs some TLC on their way to our ZIP! |

I think they're trying to say that if the ground plane is noisy that affects chip performance. I guess if you have a bad (or not properly grounded) PSU you could get something like that. It's about too much noise on the power supply planes. Sometimes this could be caused by too long wires too (or just not properly shielded ones). |

Yeah, my expectation would be to get a miner that works and does not require an advanced degree to avoid burning it up. But that's just me. I guess I'm picky. I also recognize that Dave is likely doing a lot more testing than the EU folks. But the lack of anything actually shipping, along with the radio silence, is troubling. |

Is there a video of a FULLY populated board running with a pan over to see the output?

I also recognize that Dave is likely doing a lot more testing than the EU folks. But the lack of anything actually shipping, along with the radio silence, is troubling. I think there were 2 parts of the manufacturing process that were different between EU and US operations. Perhaps we are insulated from the soldering issue and the hashing rate variation issue is caused by a different reason? In any case, I think Dave is aware of this and most likely he's already shielding us from having to do ourselves any physical fixes on the boards. |

Mine too. No Activity since Aug 31. Maybe the USPS driver is a bitcoin enthusiast and is breaking in our miners for us ;-) |

My FedEx package was just scanned. Looks like something should be in my hands by tomorrow afternoon. If it is just the 25GH/s Starter kit or the Starter + Full kit (both for Aug delivery), I do not yet know.
