Sorry Guys (Megabigpower). This is my emailed response on Shipping units for USA sales:
" Hi XXXXXXXXXXXXX, We expect to begin shipping by the end of 2nd week in October but I do not have an exact date to give you. We do however expect our process to go fairly quickly and we will notify you when your order is ready to ship. Best Regards,
Yvonne and the megabigpower.com sales team

Not too surprising. The mine isn't up to 100 TH yet. I wasn't expecting October shipments until the mine is at its full 200 TH. Also we are mining at 77TH at this time - we should break 80TH today.

Pffft! I was hoping they'd mirror Putin's shipping schedule. I sure hope my KNC order is delivered before then.

I'd be very happy to take a board without the capacitors removed if it ships sooner. Have SMD rework equipment and know how to use it.

I haven't got a refund yet, but I did get an email saying she was processing it.

Anyone else hoping they come out with a new PCB colour for each batch/month? I would be at least 20% more willing to invest in equipment if it meant my rig became a massive rainbow

Can someone touch the external power port (it's mini-USB connector) on the RPi? Is it burning hot?
I'm having issues with my RPi no longer turning on. I don't know but I suspect that maybe the M-board is feeding too much power into the RPi. I measured 5.40V across 5V and ground of the GPIO connector on the RPi (I guess this is the same as measuring at testpoint 1 and 2?) which is beyond its operating spec range.

I've had an MB burn up two RasPi's. Same symptoms - way too hot with way too much voltage into the Pi. I'm betting it's the square chip slightly above the mini-USB connector - RG2 - that's doing the heating up. That's the chip that got very hot on mine - so hot it heats up everything around it. Two fried PIs...

Ah yes I remember you mentioned something about this in the past. What did you end up doing? I emailed Dave to see what he can do about the board and RPi

I switched to a backup m-board and switched a RasPi that I had running just a few Block Erupters over to the BF. Bought another off Amazon to have as a spare. I also emailed Dave and made a return entry on the website, but haven't heard anything...
I've had no troubles with my second m-board and third RasPi (so far)...

Hi Dave,
Would it be possible to get a data sheet with the thermal specs for the bitfury chip? Thanks

Message me if you have any problems

I emailed Dave to see what he can do about the board and RPi I also lost an rpi, it was cooked dead, wont power up by any means. I had a spare pi but no spare M-board. running almost 2 days now on backup. I have reached out to MBP about this and am still waiting for response. I also have more rpi on the way, just in case.

Ah geez I'm doing some research on this... interesting that on the raspberry pi forums, feeding power into the GPIO pins (like how our mboards are doing) is not recommended because it doesn't have any power protection.

Not suggesting this but, If the pins that power the pi were dissabled (snipped, bent, whatever), And we then power the pi via wall-wart, would it work? Or are those pins serving another purpose. I fully realize a modification to the M-board will void the warranty, Just an out loud thought turned into a post. Also I dont like this Idea just from the point of having another plug.

I fully realize a modification to the M-board will void the warranty, Just an out loud thought turned into a post. That's exactly what I'm thinking but on a simpler side of things... Instead of snipping the pins, get a ribbon cable and connect between mboard and rpi. Then snip the 5v lines of the ribbon. The only question is... what about the 3v line? I am guessing snip that too?

This is true, sort of. But if your m-board has power issues then your likley to fry you h-boards. Right now your worried about the $40 component when the smoke is coiming out of the $500 component. /cet.
