YOU ARE THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!

i was sitting on my Desk 1 week and try to change what i can do . ( OC / Underclock etc ... NOTHING WORKS ! really good )

Then i get an new SD Card and write your Image .


WTF ?

everything worked !
OC = 1250 GHs on 1500Wattage
underclock
780 GHs on 750 Wattage

and so on .
AND NO HW/ Errors anymore

PERFEKTLY !

Thank you VER VERY Much , and shame on Bitmine.ch for that crappy Firmware

The SD card image can be downloaded from:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pVtGGCwD!z_L2dMPP1Zl9VuvJLqZIkOyxTltyQUMdIGEyD7pW64E

can be used for read/write with
http://sourceforge.net/p/win32diskimager/wiki/Home/.


*****************************************
Advice: buy an extra SD card 8GB for this purpose,
dont use the original.
*****************************************



What I have done is basicly make an tar copy of
/mineros/
/etc/

then installed debian on a external pi, with other SD card.
Unzipped the backup tar on the debian FS,
and debugged all day to get the dependencies right.

For convienence I have made a shell script for doing it at once.

as You can see it will first update all dependencies,
then compile cgminer and link it all.
Afterwards 2 things still need to be done:

-auto start mineros.
for this is the backup tar of /etc needed, because of all the symlinks being used,
for ex. /etc/rc0.d/K99boot.py links to /etc/init.d/boot.py,
which links to /mineros/boot.py.

Im not sure if linking it will do

##   ln -s /mineros/boot.py /etc/init.d/boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc1.d/K99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc4.d/S99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc5.d/S99boot.py
##     ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc2.d/S99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc3.d/S99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc6.d/K99boot.py
##   ln -s /etc/init.d/boot.py /etc/rc0.d/K99boot.py

also executed:
cd /etc/init.d/
insserv boot.py
and changed the runtimelevel to 99 afterwards.

Still the boot.py in the mineros folder is NOT correct:

insserv: warning: script 'boot.py' missing LSB tags and overrides
To add an header use:
https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

afterwards you can remove the header, otherwise python cant execute the file.

An other thing that needs configuring is WLAN (if needed)
nano /etc/networking/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        #wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
        wpa-ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
        wpa-psk <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>
        wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
        wpa-group TKIP CCMP


NOTE the 2 lines:
        wpa-ssid <YOUR_SSID_HERE>
        wpa-psk <YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>



BITMINE:
1.
What I didnt get working is the front display showing the ip address of the WLAN interface.
It works for eth0, not for wlan0.
2.
If you look at cgminer's output, I see lot of underflow warnings. (not enough work)
Why?

ssh into machine
execute:
screen -DR

3. Memory doesnt show up anymore. It shows 0.....

hope it helps also for you guys,
have phun with it!

The SD card image can be downloaded from:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pVtGGCwD!z_L2dMPP1Zl9VuvJLqZIkOyxTltyQUMdIGEyD7pW64E

can be used for read/write with
http://sourceforge.net/p/win32diskimager/wiki/Home/.

Great posting, I'm surely going to try your image!!!

However I'm not able to download it from the Mega site though, it is not starting the actual download.  I might the OS + cgminer using your script this week and give it a try...

=> edited: just be able to download it using Firefox (I'm using Chrome normally), thanks!!!

[fubly]

The only thing that will help here is:

* keep it strict business
* be polite, calling names/accusations on forum is no good for anything

but if everyone, who is waiting, will post a message here in this format:
ex. (color red):

Order nr: xxxxxx
Order date: 2014-01-01
Est delivery date: 2014-01-01
Amount paid: $xxxx

it will be more obvious for Bitmine AND others.
I know they will read this, but hammering on all bad things will not getting anyone doing something.

With this the forum will be more readable for everyone.

(just an idea)

Isn't that where www.bitminerefund.com is actually for?

I was submitting my refund request today. In switzerland it is possible to open an bankruptcy application
against without a previous court order.

I'm not your dude ... For your information, i invested in BTC and in Bitmine the first time (Avalon clones). I got my machines late, I even visited in their offices to talk to them. They are nice guys, they try their best. I don't want to repeat myself (read my text above again), otherwise I sound like you, a retard with no clue.

So continue dreaming and crying, I couldn't care less.

So I am not really good with linux. Could u please explain what I need to do to test this? Get the 7z archive, get Win32 Diskmanager, then what? Just creating an image, insert and go?

Yep !
afterwards you only look your IP and connect like the old Bitmine Page .
and dont forget to change Pools ;-)

extract the 7z file
write the image from the 7z file with diskmanager to a new 8gb SD card

power off desk
switch the SD card with the SD card in the desk.
power on desk

it should work out of the box.


with putty you can open a SSH connection to port 22
login: root password: bitmine
and can execute command
screen -DR
to see cgminer's output.

Moin Atta2k15

if i upgrade to cgminer 4.3.3 with the batch it doesnt recon the A1 Devices.
Any Hints for correct this ?

Btw : THX again for good work.

Have you looked at "minepeon" ?

Its an good replacement for the original Software ( Bitmine )

and yes it has APT ( pacman ) the same

Thx !

will try later cause i had a good run on pool atm

[atta2k15]

When Bitmine gives response to my 'open' 3 questions,
I will make a new image.

-------------------------
1.
What I didnt get working is the front display showing the ip address of the WLAN interface.
It works for eth0, not for wlan0.
2.
If you look at cgminer's output, I see lot of underflow warnings. (not enough work)

Good luck, happy mining!

March 30 I booked a return BTC

April 23 wrote that my order was shipped to me

I wrote bitmine to clarify the situation and got this answer
http://savepic.org/5443236.png

At this point I have not received any miners (they were not even sent), I also have not received a refund BTC.
As soon as I get refund, I will unsubscribe here, or rather IF I get a refund.

Hi all,  

Ordered in December, orde4327, received it today. 400Ghz pushed upto 600GHs with CCP. Attached are the photos.

Although can someone tell me what voltage it needs? in Saudi we use both 110V and 220V, what should i plug the coincraft desk into?

[johny08]

What i read here, guys dont make refunds. Its probably taking longer as shippment of the miners. Thats clear, when they ordered and bought the pieces for you miner, then they have first to sell it and the refund you. Dont be dumb.

And some of you need go to a doctor to get along that bitcoin has high risks and pre-orders are sort of gambling.

It depends on the fuse you have on which voltage. This 600 Watt you can run on both. take the 220 V, its better for you, when you dont have any other big machines connected to that fuse.

Hey johnnu thanks for responding,

but i dont understand what you mean. i have 2 wall sockets, 1 running at 110V and another running 220V, which should i plug the device into? i know that plugging it into the wrong voltage would damage it.
