Official Thread: AMT

[loshia]

Hold on a second Loshia before you scare everyone with your provocative statements.

Yes we've said that " Now We are in distress, and may need some help from the community".

But you're contribution has been anything but that, and our miners work fine and you should be the first one to know that and admit that of course.  

You made my day guy's
 
No one from your customers made it work so far
and you are not showing a working unit also
And you a proudly stating "and our miners work fine..."

Of course i will be the first one to admit for sure

HEY AMT CUSTOMERS,  DO YOU HAVE A WORKING MINER SO I CAN BRING MY SINCERE APOLOGY TO AMT?
Because amt does not or at least hide it

PS: for me working miner is a pool graph performance with straight line for at least 24 hours or so
Let me put in other way georgio massa miners work but our crap doesn't for some reason even though it is a copy paste from his design

Remember, AMT sent out hundreds (their words) of 1.2 TH/s bitcoin miners, albeit all those who waiting for one penning on this thread didn't receive one till recently. And, it was stated that they were send sub-par units per their instructions, with AMT wanting to make sure that those who ordered complete units received them working properly.

Care to guess what happened? All those who got their units earlier are supposedly hashing away with nary an issue, while those who waited for complete properly working units, eventually requesting kits, continue to get smoke blown up their ass by The Mighty Zip.

That doesn't sound like being On The Level to me.

Smokily situation is going to happen with complete and tested miners also
It is just a matter of time someone to receive unsmashed one

[loshia]

OK, so I've secured the blades in the chassis with the screws I found in the bottom of the box. The new problem is now the pins do not line up.


 

They hired engineering team to dsign cages remember
No seriously
From mell setup I see they align. Most probably your cage is twisted somehow
So my advise for you
Unscrew your screws
Test al modules one by one first
Then make them align somehow while unscrewed and screw whatever you can
This will be bulky of course but life sucks ....

[YourPalToots]

Removed all the bottom screws to get the blades to move enough to get them plugged in.


But now the bottom screws no longer line up.

[YourPalToots]

Thanks for posting images of your rig.

Let me guess ... sarcasm.

Well there goes my only working board. its cooked itself see picture below of a nice cooked heat sink. im tired of this now and im requesting a full refund. i am not happy with the product i have recieved. this is very poor considering ive spent $3999 on basically scrap. im that fed up with this that i will not accept any form of product replacement i want a full refund. email sent requesting this also. guys stay well clear

Dude, you do realize that with this one post this is the death knell of AMT's, don't you?

I think everyone is tired of this nonsense. This is just all sorts of poor form and stalling tactics. Thankfully with the internet this can all be very well documented and is getting the attention it needs. Companies now lose the power to screw their customers over so easily as a result. I suggest everyone document with pictures everything you get and every flaw with the device and just keep it handy in the event it needs to be used. It seems like just when they are about to turn the corner there is another massive screw up to make this worse for everyone. It almost seems deliberate.

I mean seriously with a class action and FTC complaints and all this you would think there would be an incredible amount of attention to detail and quality on getting the hardware out to people. But if this was a ploy to absolve responsibility this is a REALLY bad move to do that. When I go pick my hardware up I will be inspecting it before I leave. Because their word cannot be trusted I need to see it before I walk out of there. They just made more enemies shipping the hardware out. The MPP is a joke they were likely never intending to honor. Just a bait and switch marketing hook to get people to buy in. And it worked.

But damn this is a disaster. Likely my comments will affect my chances to get my miner. But then I am already at the end of my patience. If I don't get a reply on Monday 4/14/2014 by end of business (5-6PM EST) as AMT said they would (and stated in this very forum publicly) contact me on Monday...I will be taking further action on a legal level. I will be reaching out to my business lawyer tomorrow if I have no reply by end of business.  I suggest everyone start looking at legal options too with your disaster stories if you get no service or replies from them. Even with the product in your hands you still have that option because they are not working to really mediate this. Just stringing you along with words. Who here has actually gotten a replacement or a tracking number for a replacement?

We stuck our necks out and are supporting the product in broken form with little input from AMT. We are also suffering in the forums of losses from both massive delays AND faulty equipment.
This is just beyond fucking ridiculous.

WTF! Joshua Zipkin already admitted he's not an engineer. Hell, NONE of his profiles on the internet even suggest he's versed with hardware, offering up just one for proof: http://www.crunchbase.com/person/joshua-zipkin

Prior to TheDealFair, Joshua worked in the Balkan markets where he established and created some of the first daily deal sites in the region. Since then, he and his team have focussed primarily on TheDealFair.com, while also developing several original eCommerce based services, such as a unique microjob site, an apartment letting site, and diversified mobile apps. He is the founder of Setupstarters, a web site development company with services that range from social media marketing consultation, to outsourced BPO. He attended PennState University where he majored in International Economics. Coming from Phildelphia, and having lived in Europe, he considers himself to be an entrepreneur of the world, constantly mixing mentalities with unique ideas, to solve the problems of today’s industry leading sites.

Due to having some respect for opieum, I, too, considered penning a similar sarcastic post, but held my pen.

He will not read it phinn
I am in his ignore list already
To all folks who still read it
Do not sign when crap is delivered return it back and ask for refund
Do not loose your dignity guy's. Money are lost already!

Moving on to the controller.

I've got it powered via the 5v USB. The pwr light does turn on.


I plug it into the router and all the lights come on.


I do an IP scan and receive the following list. I hit each IP address with the browser and get the following results.
192.168.0.1    - router
192.168.0.7    - No response
192.168.0.8    - No response
192.168.0.9    - No response
192.168.0.11 - printer
192.168.0.15 - No response
192.168.0.40 - Ant miner

When I unplug the controller, my list stays the same.

How do we get into this thing?

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Good news, everybody! All the support you need in located on AMT's venerable site. Simply use the password that came with your AMT Heath Kit, and voilà, you're golden. Why Joshua Zipkin hasn't mentioned this prior is anybody's guess: http://advancedminers.com/client-support/



Also, note that 4,545 happy customers have "Liked" this on their Facebook page, albeit they're probably fans of Red Bull Shit as well.

I guess it's harder to fudge (as in pack the fudge) on Twitter: https://twitter.com/advancedminers/followers

A few pages ago someone mentioned that you can hook up monitor to pi and see what is going on
Just look for it
Btw you could try ssh or telnet

[timmyd]

plug a hdmi into it and then to a monitor. other wise you need to get the ip and type it in your web browser to get the amt control page.   username= admin  password= admin

[sirminesalot]

I ok then I'll probably go with a 1000w and a 800w just so I have the extra overhead.

The following are good for all 5 boards if you can find one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171069

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159158

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182251

Here is what AMT recommended

For those prices, you can easily pick up 2 750 - 900w power supplies + power supply link cable. This will put out more power, connectors, redundancy, and still be cheaper in the end.

Obviously AMT doesn't know what they are talking about. Bad suggestion.

[sirminesalot]

Or the screws *were * there and are now rolling around in the packaging or delivery truck. Don't suppose the screws have star-washers so they can't shake loose do  they?

Found these under the flap at the bottom of the box.



Hopefully the blades banging each other during shipping didn't damage them too much.

They need to be using something like these machine screws w/star-washers that are part of them http://www.mcmaster.com/#95345a047/=riqrv4  also available with sheet metal threads.

Not true. Even with Star Washers, tightened case screws DON'T just pop out in transit.

This was either intentionally done (damaged on purpose to blame Fedex) or these weren't tightened at all and fell out due to vibration in transit.

Hard to believe.

[YourPalToots]

plug a hdmi into it and then to a monitor. other wise you need to get the ip and type it in your web browser to get the amt control page.   username= admin  password= admin

I will try plugging it into a monitor.

As I've said, I tried the IP route.

Thank you for your inquiry.

We currently cannot accept CC payments on our larger miners, we are only accepting CC payments on the 80 gh and 120 gh miners.

We do not offer guarantees, the lead time on the 1.2 th/s miners are 6-8 weeks, and you can cancel your order anytime up to the delivery of the unit.

All the best, Manny

RNA in best case scenario unfortunately when it gets delivered you are fucked because amt formally made thir part of contract and by signing and getting the miner you formally have agreed to take the crap
I am not a lawyer though
