I just posted dropbox links to the V1 & V2 rPi images and chainminer code if you guys need to remake your SD Cards. Please be sure to use the correct image - especially make sure not to use the V2 image or chainminer code on a V1 board!
Check the OP for the support thread I posted (see my sig for link).
The M-boards we shipped out today are all V2, so remember that these boards use 4 distinct SPI channels. If you have 4 hashing cards, you can load them in the slot 1 of each bank for best results.
Also be sure to use two separate PCI-e cables from your PSU to the plugs on the M-board. Using one cable that has two plugs will just put extra load on that cable, possibly dangerous as you increase H-cards.
Tracking numbers should have come to you via email (when FedEx label was printed). If not, I'll check with the shipping team to see whats up.

Looks like the team managed to get all 36 outstanding August starters in boxes and out the door! Go team!
We will be sending emails out over the next day or so in order to get your BTC payment addresses.
Cheers,

Fantastic Dave. Kudos to you and MBP team. Appreciate it.! How do we get the tracking numbers.? I checked the site and it doesnot have it. Thanks, Received tracking number for order 135 and 145. Thanks Dave and Team.! I have another question regarding placement of EOL boards in v 2.0 M-Boards. Kindly can anyone answer it. I just posted dropbox links to the V1 & V2 rPi images and chainminer code if you guys need to remake your SD Cards. Please be sure to use the correct image - especially make sure not to use the V2 image or chainminer code on a V1 board!

With regards to Dave's message above. If i have 2 EOL boards, does anyone know if i can connect them to the same M-board in separate SPI channels / banks.
Will that work.? |

I received my starter kit today that was ordered July 8th. The shipment left Washington yesterday at 5:57 pm and arrived today at 1:53 pm. The address was incorrectly labelled on the package but I lucked out on a great driver who called dispatch to contact me and sort it out. I sent him on his way with an assortment of Gatorade and chocolate as thanks.
For Canadians looking for details on import duty: Megabigpower listed the value of the starter kit as 750 USD in the category of Motherboard. This category qualifies for Canadian taxes at a 100% rate. FedEx used an unfriendly conversion to place the value of the hardware at 771.93 CDN which taxed at 13% HST for a 100.34 charge. Of course FedEx also added in their own 11.30 ROD fee. The canadian dollar amount I paid for the starter kit was 1411.51 based on my CC assigned exchange rate at the time of purchase. With taxes the total paid stands at 1523.15 CDN.
In the box was the 2.0 version of the M-Board and one H-Card. After firing up the miner it took me a good 20 minutes to sort out some networking issues. I'm hashing at about 24 Gh/s without tuning and what looks to be one dead/marginal chip. Took a bit longer than expected but megabigpower has followed through on their promise and for that I must convey my thanks and respect.
