[ANN] Technobit HEX16B(Bitfury based) 16 chip board design

[ZBC3]

Martin,

Do you have any more assembled bitfury boards available for sale?

HEX16B with Bitfury Rev2 chips

Damn, i knew it. I should just buy the engineering sample chips while they available & send it to you. Now they already out of stock  

Checked this morning with BitFuryStrikesBack and it says "in stock" 32 chip order limit.
I guess someone made a big order and wiped out the stock on the system and they've put it back in.

Zich,
 
There are more sample chips for sale on that website. I just bought 16 of them.

Nice, thanks for the information

Dear forum/thread members...

I have received a refund for my order (marto still has those now useless chips, my loss).

Four months has passed since the expected delivery date, therefore I do not in anyway feel satisfied.

This does however bring an element of closure so I can stop pestering in Marto's threads.

My apologies to all who have had to put up with my constant posts, I wish it could have been done in a different manner but when PM's are Ignored it leaves little options.

Regards to all

SoutherngentUK

I have been refunded too, but i did not use the huge red letter method...
I Simply asked gently (3 times )

I simply asked gently for the last 3 months !
It would seem some get better treatment than others. Feel free to search my profile posts to see I have tried to handle this in a mature patient manner, and yet marto has made accusations that it was my own fault to save face when clearly he has some large failings in his business.
I feel it a great shame as his products are good and I would of liked to have purchased and received a lot of them in different circumstances. However I purchased gen 1 of his miners which seem to of been deliberately pushed to the back of production to for-fill more technically superior products.

When Marto should of been making Apologies he was making Accusations, this really does not help customers confidence.
When you have been waiting 3 months and the supplier implies it is your fault most people see RED. Now either martin is extremely arrogant or his website has some serious faults that is leading to all these problems, only martin knows the answer too that..

Would be awesome if anyone could help me!

As of now you can't mine on Windows with cgminer on Technobit devices, however I have told marto74 of my progress with the patches to enable mining on Windows, I have enabled mining on the HEX16A1, possibly HEX16A2. I plan Coincraft A1 and HEX16B as well, but you have to be patient.

Meanwhile, you need linux.

[Sinturvy]

Yesterday evening I compiled again with the old MinGW version which ckolivas described in his readme. But not as recommended with "Download latest repository catalogs". I chose to take the old reposity catalogs.
After that I patched and then compiled as described in the readme. The error is not relevant, cause it compiles the cgminer-4.0.0.exe anyway.

Now Im running my HEX16B miner on Windows 7 (64-Bit) with CGminer-4.0.0, because I got the right WinUSB Driver by http://zadig.akeo.ie/

Some newer GCCs did have a problem with an extension the HEX driver was working, but even before I patched CGMiner to work with COM Ports, using Zadig and trying all drivers(including WinUSB), cgminer wouldn't even detect it. I am surprised it worked for you.

EDIT:Windows support "completed".

[btcminer84]

Dear,
Troll,
I hope you are well.
your sending is on it's way to you.
2 pieces HEX miners tested and programmed.
You order is fulfilled so please stop this.

You are a SCAM COMPANY Troll. Technobit.eu don't send me anything. I just waiting for my refund.

You told me, the refund need 10 days since 12 of December 2013. So, WHERE is my refund? I never got it.
Order: FESYNGABJ placed on 2013-12-07 13:24:27
Payment: Bank Wire

So you are the fucking scammer!

DON'T BUY FROM TECHNOBIT.EU SCAM Company!

[Borpf]

Sorry, but I cant understand why you call Technobit a scammer.
I self ordered Bitfury Hex16b Miners an the shipping was no problem at all.
Mailsupport answers after about 6 hours (And i wrote at night).
Packing was very good, the Miners are working perfect.
I feel happy and order will again.

Hi ,
All ,

Just thousands of e-mail, and We do not have enough time to answer the same question.
We almost managed to ship out Nov shipments.
Until Tuesday We'll clear 1-st week of December deliveries.
All orders for December shipment will be shipped until Christmas.

What is the deathline for you to take action . We can make excuses and wait for years.... be honest and take action on this matter.

Hey ... what's going on with you marto74 ... stop promising, start keeping your concerning your debts.

marto74 has the fund 38 BTC:
https://blockchain.info/address/12DNdacCtUZ99qcP74FwchaCPzeDL9Voff

If someone makes a promiss i expect that he keeps his promise.

I expect to receive 0,0052258 * 128 chips = 0,6689024 BTC
My bitcoinadress is  still the same 1GjAbLU8UTn4YArcGv4kRnkMtWnqe5aq4c

This is not going to happen by trolling my treads.
You got the cost of the chips refunded. Refund of the GB tax will be act of good will from me not by OP rules and this way you are not helping.
We all lost a lot in Avalon gen1 chips mess
For now I"m putting you in my ignore list only
Please stay on topic

marto74 kept his promise and did the refund. Thanks

I see so it was only 8 months and it seems like he ignored his own rules to refund your money but wont do the same for me.

Thanks that is exactly the helpful information I need.
