Official ASICMINER Hardware Information

[Tasweb]

Just wondering if SwishBits is still the Australian reseller as I've been unable to get a response for queries for at least a week.

"I'm not currently involved in any more buys - but I'll review at the end of the week."

That was two weeks ago. Other ASICMINER distributors won't sell into Australia while Julz is listed as the local distributor so we will have to wait and see if he is prepared to do any further GB's for us.

I will sign up for two Cubes right now if Julian will sell them to me!

According to pals in the scene Julz is out sent an email to friedcat about possibility of being a secondary reseller. will keep this thread updated as this progresses!

*sigh* Thanks for that, I wasn't entirely sure who the SwishBits person was in the forums, so now I know.

Thanks again, and hey if you're one of those Aussie people and you're in the know on any buys you could point me at them ;P

Greetings friedcat. I received a few cube units as part of canarys group buy, and one of the units is defective.

The green power light comes on, no activity on the fan, and no Ethernet connectivity.

How can we RMA the non functional devices ?

Did you glance inside to make sure the fan was plugged in? If stuff shifted around a lot, or people didn't care during assembly, the fan could be unplugged. These guys turn themselves off if they don't detect a fan spinning after a few seconds.
Might be worth undoing a few screws to check, or just looking inside it with a flashlight through the fan.

 Already tried that Disassembled the unit, took out the boards, verified fan was plugged in, tested with another fan, took out all the hashing boards and tried to get just the main board to just come up. Nada.

 Another unit arrived with obvious loose parts and screws fell out when I opened the case. Seems two screws fell off the heatsinks and was causing it to rattle around. Screwed the heatsink back on, reassembled that one particular unit, and it came up just fine.

 All in all, though, I have to say I'm pretty darned impressed with these units.

Well that's sorta ridiculous. That's at least the third one I've heard about with loose screws inside.

Same, the design is so simplistic and clearly designed for volume. Setup thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352658

Any chance of a response from ASICMINER on how Aussies can purchase cubes now that the Aussie reseller has pulled out?

Is there anyway I make my own small purchase directly from Friedcat/ASICMINER?

[Xian01]

Bump.

One of the six cubes I purchased is in need of an RMA as it is non functional and collecting dust.

What are the procedures to submit a formal RMA request ?

Thank you kindly.

Contact your reseller....   Friedcat is busy counting his money and doesnt have time for the people that made him rich anymore....

Reseller first, then there is an email address for customer support at Asicminer.  I have used it twice and received new equipment within a week no questions asked.  But I'm guessing Cube supply is still restrained as they gear up.

EDIT: email is on OP: asicminer.help@gmail.com

 Thank you. Will try this. Reseller has had difficulty getting clarification on RMA's from FC as well.

Edit: ...and 3 days later a replacement shows up on my porch. Thanks FC and the ASICminer team ! Cheers !

Hi guys... When the new model comes out ? And how will it be ?

I have a small budget so this is the best option for me.

I am European (Portugal) if you order how long it takes to arrive?

Cups.

While I know they're sold out, what's the going rate on USB miners? I may have come into unexpected stock.

What is the hash/s ? And price ?

330 mhash per unit. The original block erupter USB. Well, revision two, but original chips. When I last sold them out was 0.1a unit plus 0.075 shipping, but that was when Btc was about $100 a coin and difficulty was a lot lower. I have no idea what to price these at.

I suspect it might not even be worth selling them...

[xzempt]

check ebay and amazon...  should be $45-50 each... id try to move them quickly..

I do not want. Even want a Blade. Only then compensates me.

And how much would you pay for a blade now?
