[ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales NEW STOCK ***NOW SHIPPING***

[cypherdoc]

Here's the V3 image, sorry for the delay.  Please *only* download this if you have the new overclocked V3 boards.  It will make previous boards run slower (clock reduced due to higher voltage).

This is not a new, improved version - its just what we shipped already, in case you get a bad SD card or your SD card corrupts.

This new image has a Shutdown button - use it rather than just pulling the plug on the power and your SD cards will do much better!

Cheers,
Dave

Wishing you all the best with your rigs and enjoy the high BTC prices!

has anybody tried this image successfully?

this version wasn't assigned an address by my DHCP router like the others.

I tried it with my old v1 M board. Works fine, but I think the chainminer is based on the older version, with some changes like automatic detection of v1 M board. There's a shutdown button on the web interface. miner.h was also changed to default speed 52.

it started with an IP address 192.168.0.249. I changed the IP address with <Change IP configuration button>. Nevertheless  in my opinion, Punin's November image is better for older boards, and if you recompile with modded miner.h to 52 speed, it's golden for new boards. all IMO, please use due caution etc etc

Nothing from Dave about hardware availability. 

I guess he made all the money he needs. 

or, he's waiting until stuff is in hand so he won't get yelled at.

I believe this to be the case, based on statements he had made some time ago (prior to the October orders shipping, if I remember correctly).

Anyone want to sell any Bitfury hardware? I'll currently pay 1 BTC per H-board. I'll even consider buying ones with problems. PM me.

Hmmm 1BTC per board... Would you take 10 boards, shipping from Switzerland? I'll send you a PM.

I would offer 1BTC per board (9BTC for 10) shipped to canada. This offer is open to anyone selling.

MBP has been supplying a LOT of hardware to the 100TH 200TH 300TH 350TH? mine. to the tune of well over 10,000 H-boards

[EDIT]  I'm told these users may have powered their rigs using the 1 to 2 plug on a single PCIe cable.  This is a common mistake I've been warning about.  Please note - you *must* use two separate power cables from the PSU to each of the 6-pin power plugs on the M-board.

I hope this isnt a dumb question, but can the board be powered by only 1 PCI-E connector? I have only 1 board, likely using a lot less than 100W, so i want to use a connector on other hardware instead. I just wanted to see if the 2 plugs are linked together or if not powering one of them would create issues

Yes, but once you get to where that board is half full (or more), you'll need to spread the current over more conductors (use the other connector).

wait, why?! it's borderline breakeven. actually by the time you get it you likely won't ROI

(sorry, actually just really curious. i can understand maybe using fiat but hmm?)

I'm gambling that the growth in network hashrate will slow before these become unprofitable for me.

I'm in California US, and would prefer to avoid international shipping and import taxes. So I'm going to hold out for other offers for now.

Dave haunts other threads if you want to see what he's up to. 

Oh, I figured I should mention that there are more than one version of the v3 M-board and the v2 h-boards.  The two different M-Board versions I have seen seem to have trade offs.  But, I would take the Pulse inductor H-board over the no-name inductor one in a heartbeat, despite the pots being harder to tune.

Point being, you can't necessarily go off what other people are saying about their equipment.  IE:  PCIe slot stiffness, available terminals, what position to set the pot, etc...

FYI:  My PCIe cables are at 94 F on a full rig with individual runs back to the PS.  Another way to draw a little more load away from the PCIe cables is to use the molex connectors on your PS for your 12v fans.  But, this only buys you a few watts.

Hey guys, did you ever get a board which will not hash no matter what settings you try? I have obtained one such board. All it throws are loads of errors. I have tested the usual suspects voltage, etc.
It's a new PCIexpress style board, so I cannot bypass a chip.

I have tried disabling chips in software but the board will not hash. I tried it as a sole board connected to an Mboard.

[JHenderson]

Hi all - I'm hearing about some troubles people are having with overloaded power connectors.  Since the latest cards shipped were running a higher voltage, the rigs take quite a lot of wattage - extra caution should be taken if you are running a full 16 card rig.  I recommend upgrading to a 1200w power supply as soon as possible.  Do not locate your rig on the floor, or near anything flammable.  As always with mining rigs, check your power cables, connectors and supplies often for signs of overheating and failure.

Please be safe!

We are making changes for future boards that will either run them at lower voltage or provide additional power connections.

Cheers
Dave

Dave,

What is the status of refunds?

If anyone is also waiting on a refund from Dave please pm me.

Thanks,

No.  I've gotten a couple with outright dead chips, a few more with chips so bad they aren't worth running, and more than a few that like to toss MISO errors and shutdown the neighbors despite being moved to the end of the busses.  But, nothing outright dead.

 Have two of these cards that I RMA'd.

 One throws nothing but errors, and another just doesn't hash at all. Doesn't matter what slots on the mboard I throw them in.

hello Gox break 1k usd btc.

I think most of us have already ROI'd in USD, the issue is BTC...
