Other group buys, the chips on the units have be lowered from 40 chips to 32 chips. Is this the case for these as well?
I would also like to know about this. The original should be overclockable, where as the new one is already overclocked but with less chips. Understood. We're looking into it. The original was theoretically overclockable, but was running a custom cgminer on the Rasp Pi that may not have had overclocking options enabled. If that were the case, overclocking would have required you to recompile the cgminer on the Pi. |

In most cases, overcloacking just requires you to edit the cgminer config file and change the clock speed. I don't know if these miners are the same or not. Thats why I was wanting to know.
If these are the 32 chip versions, then they for sure will not be overclockable, as they are already overclocked to reach the 1TH/s with 32 chips rather then reaching 1TH/s with 40 chips.

You're probably correct. We only used these devices at stock speeds through the browser interface provided. I've sent an email to everyone notifying them of our current status. I'll continue to keep everyone updated. |

Do you have a linux command to count the chips or we have to do it manually?

Counting them will be easy... 4 modules or 5? Each module holds 8 chips. At least, that's how it was done on the units we received and evaluated. |

I can confirm that the factory has changed the design to a 32-chip design. I have sent an email to all buyers (at the email addresses they provided) explaining the situation. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Well that really sucks. I was looking forward to try to overclock these to 1.2-1.3TH's. Guess that won't be happening anymore. Its BS that they didn't inform you of that before. They should've informed you so that you could've informed us. |

The manufacturer pulled a pretty clear cut bait-and-switch. vendor: www.lketc.comI have to agree that they communicated poorly. The price drop appears to be related to the chip count reduction... which implies they knew about the reduced chip count back around March 5th. The cynic in me thinks they intentionally forgot to mention it. However, they never promised overclockability, only a specified hash rate at a specified power draw. It's a loophole. The real issue is, this was a group buy. As mentioned in the Op, our money went straight to them in advance to reserve our units, so we don't have a lot of leverage. We'll keep you updated if anything comes from the loud noises. Feel free to contact me directly if you have anything in specific you want to discuss. |

Ya, that's borderline fraud. They really should've updated you.
Perhaps they updated your contact in China, and he in-turn forgot to update you?

Nah, we have a few people in china, and they're on the ball. This guy in particular went way above and beyond to make sure this group buy went smoothly. We've been in touch with him multiple times a day since the beginning, and we've had a working relationship with him for years. I gotta lay this at the feet of the vendor. |

Im still ok with it- as long as it meets spec Im happy. I will buyout any orders of those who witch to bail  |

I got a unit before this batch with 5 modules. How do I overclock it?

I'm not quite sure how to overclock these. I would assume you need to SSH into the Rasp Pi and modify the cgminer config file, as mentioned by someone else in the thread. Anyone else able to help here? |

The instructions I got: "As the machine does not open interface for overclocking settings, you need modify the cgminer parameters listed in /boot/www/index.php, it is said that the hash rate could up to 1.2T with the sufficient power supply after overclocking. We are working on that to evaluate whether it is possible" |

Although I did not get even units already'm not happy :/ it's cheating if they are only 4 modules are to be refunded the money because the units are too expensive especially if you do not go their overclock: (

I'll post for 2 btc  It is what it is, thanks for the updates and excellent way you've handled this group buy. |
