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

[cypherdoc]

Anyone know where I can get a new one of these PCI-e to Screw Terminal adapters?
Or where I can get the lugs that attach and are crimpted to the wires so I can make it myself?

 Additionally, is it kosher to have both PCIe connectors hooked up, in addition to these two screw terminals, if we want to ensure our rigs are getting all the juice they require ?

 Read: Is having 4 power sources going to the M-Board going to cause it to melt ?

 Would be interested in picking up a few of these cables as well.

You should not connect more than one PSU to the same rig, because they will fight each other. But there's no harm connecting a single PSU to a rig with as many connections (screw, PCIe, etc) as you want, the more the better within reason. I highly recommend using four 6+2-pin or 8-pin PCIe power cables from your PSU for a full rig. 6-pin PCIe power cables may use the same wire gauge and connector quality, but may not have the best connections inside the PSU or may be too limited by any per-rail OCP. If your PSU doesn't have four 6+2-pin/8-pin connectors, it may not be designed to provide as much continuous power to them as you need.

so it's ok to mix 2 pci-e and 2 ring connectors cables from the same psu to one rig?

Sorry to post technical on the sales thread but does anyone have or know where I can get an image for the V3 M board.  Nothing on the OP and not getting answers from the other threads.
Thanks!!

This is what I'm running.  It's set up to use bfgminer, not chainminer.

Once you have it installed, you might want to update bfgminer:

Code:

cd bfgminer && git pull && make && sudo make install && sudo shutdown -r now

salfter,

your image is working well.  it's been 48 hr and my periodic "reset" issues have disappeared and i now have a much more stable HR.  thank you.

however, when i try to update bfgminer with:

Code:

cd bfgminer && git pull && make && sudo make install && sudo shutdown -r now

i get this:

Code:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
	driver-bfsb.c
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting

how can i fix this error?

You can clone bfgminer into a similar named dir.

Have you personally modified the bfsb driver c file ?
If so what change?

Yes - it is addressed in the post above your question.  In red.

sorry, linux noob here.  can you be more specific, preferably with code needed?

Have you personally modified the bfsb driver c file ?
If so what change?

like salfter, i have been changing the chip speed settings downwards until i eliminate all chip errors.  this seems to be working well but you have to recompile to save the changes and then restart.  remember, i'm using salfter's image and i don't know if he made any other changes to this file but i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

eventually, i'd like to be able to compile bfgminer on my own but there seems to be a requirement to insert a couple of "sudo modprobe" commands somewhere to get it to work and i haven't figured that out yet.

I had that problem back when I tried to update cgminer in minepeon. Kano used this as a solution back then:

git checkout etc/miner.conf.donate
git pull

So I am guessing (might be wrong) your solution might be something like this:

Code:

cd bfgminer && git checkout driver-bfsb.c && git pull && make && sudo make install && sudo shutdown -r now

worked great Morblias, thank you.

my stratum connection is rock solid now and i'm continuing to tweek chip settings.

price target of $150 by end of month before people will actually start buying the hcards.
otherwise the whole inventory will be worth close to $0

they have a live inventory counter. they've sold about 200 h cards in dec/jan and still have about 1800 available in inventory.
it makes no financial sense to buy them with either bitcoins or USD

They constantly add to the inventory so you would have no idea how much they are selling.

Also, their inventory is constantly earning BTC, so I'm sure they are in no hurry to sell it for less than they think it will earn.

I don't think this is true. My recent purchase have all come sealed in ESD bags. So unless they went to the trouble of buying new bags and a sealer just to hide that they are using the cards, i suspect that your statement is just speculation presented as fact. and possibly Libel.

[Keefe]

At the moment, I would pay $225/card for Feb 1 delivery, or $285/card for Jan 23 delivery. That's mostly based on the current value of BTC, so will change if the exchange rate goes up. It would need to get up to $1020/BTC by tomorrow to make it worth buying a 14-card v3 rig for $5100 (1/4 rig plus 10 more discounted cards).

If they're not hashing with their inventory, it's really a shame. All that inventory sitting on shelves loses 16% of its value per week. Personally I don't mind at all if they are selling used (tested) hardware. That's only a problem in a pre-order scenario where doing so delays delivery of hardware paid for in advance. That said, my guess is they're not mining with their inventory, unfortunately for everyone since they might be more inclined to lower prices if it didn't feel like a loss to do so.

Maybe YOUR cards all came in sealed ESD bags, but my order came in a mixed combination of sealed and non sealed (ie just tape to close the edb bag). In fact the majority of the cards I got were not fully sealed. I bet you anything others got cards that were not fully sealed too.

I would be very surprised if they were not mining with the inventory. If I had to guess I'd say they are just pulling the cards/rigs from their live farm as customer orders come through. They may have a bunch of brand new cards in stock too that they may throw in once in a while.

Either way we are all just speculating and we can never know for sure until we hear from MBP.

Like you I really don't care if they used the cards as long as they are not offloading troublesome cards on to us.

Has anyone tried bfgminer on a v3 m-board. I was under the impression that it does not work with v3 m-boards and using it could even damage the cards/system. Any info on this?

that's what i'm using as described above with v2.2 h boards

been running rock solid for +48hr now.  totally solved my intermittent, random disconnects which was destroying my HR.

Can you actually tune individual chips with MFG?
