So they gave you all a toy with no software?
yup.
word is they asked folks whether to ship the hardware without miner software rather than wait for the software, then ship. (i dont recall that but whatever, i would of wanted the hardware 1st anyway).
theory is, they cant be accused of mining on your hardware in secret if its in your hands, not theirs. and we can set our rigs up and make sure all stuff is recognized as it should be.
of my two rigs, the gigabyte Z97X has a 215+ in an m2 slot and is recognized. in my onda D8P, a 101 in a nest2x is not, but a 215+ in a nest4x is. same slot (1st one, runs at x8 gen3), no changes were made when swapping the 2x and 4x in the slot. dunnowhatsupwitdat.
probably my error, i will play more today with it.
all in all, delays etc, i more or less expected it. sure im a bit disappointed in the delay, but realistically it is what it is. i knew delays could happen when i went in.
i must say the quality if the hardware is very good. they also gave 4 risers with the nest2x, which was a nice touch.
so in the meantime, they (the 215+ in the m2 on the Z97X and the 215+ in the nest4x in the onda) sit there in my rigs with pretty green light that blink every so often.
