Got my kit up and running. Getting 24.895Gh/s after running for 30 minutes. I'm connected to the Bitminter pool. http://imgur.com/AYlejh6EDIT: After an hour, it's up to 25.29Gh/s. What difficulty are you using? With Bitminter, it does it automatically it seems... I haven't seen an option to manually change it like when I was on Slush's Pool.

I asked DrHaribo about this, he indicated that the value is set automatically and adjusts over time. /cet

My August kit just arrived at my door! Order #108. I think I'm feeling a bit ill at work. Time to go home and rest up. Feel better man! He'll be fine. This kind of illness is easily - and almost instantly - cured by unboxing a recent Bitfury delivery. There's something very potent in those green styrofoam peanuts. Just dig around in them for a minute, and you'll be good as new... Yes, I'm feeling much better now. Those peanuts do the trick. It feels so good to hash again. I was starving for mining bitcoin ever since shutting my GPU's a few weeks ago.

Oh weird... my hash rate went from 0 to 3 after half an hour, then went to 17, and now jumped back to 25.
I think there's something really funky going on with these chips... definitely do not feel like they're stable. Almost like some chips shutting down for a while and then coming back to life when they feel like it.

Forgot a step.... Change pools - start hashing into your own accounts instead of Daves
Haha, I wonder if there is anyone who forgot that step. Just got my starter kit this morning and got it set up (order #89). Just a single H-board, no EOL. Reported noncerate is 26.872GH/s and 25.483GH/s on the pool. It's only been running for about 10 minutes, so I will update later after it has been running for a few hours. I am very happy with Bitfury and MegaBigPower. Great job to everyone involved. A few hours later, things are still looking good. 27.144GH/s noncerate and 26.915GH/s with diff 32 on BTC Guild.

I saw the same happening on my chips. Two days ago I was good with 75-77. They keep jumping from 60 to 77 as they please. If you have any information on why this happens please let me know. I'm willing to test anything in case I can elaborate more on this behaviour

ASIC devices are so time sensitive that I suspect we will see a lot of hardware and software issues with the new ASIC devices that are coming to market. Unfortunately, the early adopters are also beta testers. I'm still on the fence about a BitFury purchase, so I'm watching intently...

Woohoo - got my starter kit out of billing-address limbo! Aaand... Hashrate 1hr 34665 Mh/s
At the pool!! 38W at the wall on 120V, which seems pretty good given how lightly I'm loading the PS (Corsair TX750). I have some tips to improve performance on the software side that I'm collecting as I roll them out here; I've got my pi's load average down to 0.10 and total CPU utilization at ~5% with only two shares rejected in the last hour.

How did you get get up so high for 25Gh/s starter kit? That's probably a fluctuation on the high side. The nature of Poisson processes means there's uncertainty equal to 2x the square root of the number of shares returned (at the 95% confidence level). That was 24480 diff1 shares at difficulty 32, so 765 diff32 shares; 2*sqrt(765) = 55, so I should report the rate as 34500 +/- 2500. But, more to your point, pencil mod to achieve 0.74Vdd at the lowest voltage chip plus heatsink on back of board under regulator thermal vias. Stratum proxies running on external (fast) host; chainminer recompiled with -Ofast -march=armv6zk -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfp -fno-strict-aliasing
instead of the default optimization flags. No manual chip tuning at this point. Estimate ~80% of the increase is due to the Vdd change, but I'm not going to slow things down to take better measurements I will note that if this were achievable on all 16 cards the full kit would be >550GH/s!

What's your noncerate at web-gui?

We ran short of M-boards due to the factory shortage of parts I mentioned. I had hoped they would pick up the slack in production, but the break in production was felt last week when the shipment finally arrived from AK customs with no M-boards. According to tracking, we only expect 12 tomorrow. Every starter kit we send out takes 16 slots from the mine. We have 54 starters left to ship. A cost analysis shows that we would lose over 20TH if we ship out of the mine - taking over 800 cards out of the picture, which does not work well from a financial perspective. The solution is to dedicate four rigs to a separate mining account and then send each customer their share of the coin once we ship. Of course the customer will not pay a hosting fee or their share of power. I have already repointed the hashpower to this dedicated account: https://www.btcguild.com/api.php?api_key=23fcc6a0f8292fe394b1706da8c0d304. As soon as we ship these units, we will distribute the coin accordingly. Thanks for your patience on this - please look for an email requesting your payment address before you send it to us. Best, Dave So, let me get this correct, your using the M-Boards that were allocated to our orders to maintain your mine (I am an share holder) and you have allocated 4 rigs at BTC Guild at the PPS rate (as per the API) with a 7.5% fee((1 / Network Difficulty * 25) - Pool Fee (7.5%) https://www.btcguild.com//index.php?page=support§ion=howamipaid one of the highest pool fees out there). Seems to me that your failing to walk your talk to ship out August orders before populating your mine. Let us not forget the rigs going to LabRatMining (which I am a shareholder also) which were purchased after most August orders were placed. A cost analysis shows that we would lose over 20TH if we ship out of the mine - taking over 800 cards out of the picture, which does not work well from a financial perspective.
This could be considered a grave financial impropriety. Please enlighten me as to how that is adventurous to us, seems like we are funding the operation of your mine with our equipment and getting paid way less than our own individual strategies. What advantage is that to us, are you sending extra h boards to compensate? Because the BTC payment based on your decisions seem inappropriate and you are profiting way more by holding our equipment while the production errors are catching up. Even now, we will not be able to achieve any ROI http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/9373700bafwhich does not work well from a financial perspective You apparently have the equipment as per your analysis. I know I paid the full overnight shipping fee for an August starter kit. If your taking 800 cards out of the picture by shipping out our paid for equipment, we are getting Avaloned and your decision to do this without asking those of us waiting for orders is a poor choice. You were doing so good, what happened to you.

You were doing so good, what happened to you. wow, you're right. The pool is PPS with 7.5% fees, which is absolutely insane. furthermore, the current hashrate looks to be around 18Ghash per starter kit (if there are 54 as claimed). I don't mind my order being hosted until more m-borads show up, but i feel like the choice of pool and bare minimum of hardware allocated to it (i saw it get as high as 27Ghash and less than 18Ghash, which indicates it is at a loss compared with the starter kits' extra EOL card that ensures 25-35Ghash for those already up and running at home) People who are mining with starter kits at home are producing almost 150% the bitcoins that this hosting does because of the >=25Ghash speeds and low fee pools available (seriously, 7.5%?) I respect everything you've done dave, but this is a pretty blatant mistake. Punin shipped every single august order within about 3 days using extra h-boards and V2 M-boards. Hopefully we can get an update soon
