I just had one of the ASIC boards die  . It's been running for about 20 days! I bought it through Crypto Miner Bros. I'm reaching out to anyone and everyone to get a refund, replacement or something before this $1900 (pre-order) miner becomes a paperweight! It's been slightly profitable in mining, but after you include the cost to set them up (power connectors, cabling, etc.) I'm deep in the hole. I'd suggest you stay far away from them. Far far away! No way, does the whole miner stops when hashing board not working on these? This is why i hate asics . People say that is easy setup mining including me  , but actually they are not as reliable as GPUs, CPUs and FPGas which is accessible to everyone. And 70% people who ever buy they most likley will loose money. 1900 for one miner? This is crazy for the performance they have. We had few orders with 1850 , with the specs advertised 660gh. But we shipped to our customers 2x miners as Strongu compensated us for the hash loss. |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

sorry, no link, I was just reffering what was stated in eastshore message, which I obviously read it in the rush, where it says that they are on brink of bankruptcy
to clarify -- strongu or eastshore? & thanks |

And when they where supposed to be shipped, they where trying to do refund as the specs changed. But Strongu refused to give them refund. This might be one of the reasons why they possibly could make bankruptcy. |

Guys one of mine has one of the board dead - after a week of mining. Bought trough Minerbros. Help? What to do now? Shipping it back to china cost more than the machine itself right now. Ive wrote some emails to sales@strongu.com.cn but absolutely no response. The other thing - SSH username and password? Anyone? |

Have you tried username :admin pswd : root Think these have the same as Bitmain asics, but not 100% sure |

Got the feedback from my account manager in strongu, they say they don't give ssh details to customers  http://prntscr.com/qohww3 |

This could kill the hardware faster. You could only undervolt on overclock your miner when someone makes custom firmware. |

Well Im trying to use that only button that can change anything - DEBUG.
IDK what does this button do, but one of the boards was missing in my miner. Ive set it to 3 (just random low number) and the board is visible and hashing now.

You could only undervolt on overclock your miner when someone makes custom firmware. of course they don't, that's understandable, at least they should allow to change / lower the frequency as all antminers have that option we need someone like blissz, who made good custom firmwares for antminers, I tried to contact him over bitcointalk, but no reponse so far .. |

That button resets your settings to factory default as far as i know. |

I got two U6 and both have the same problem - when mining, the frequency does not rise above 320 MHz. At the same time, consumption is 1400 watts and a speed of 140Gh. I got two D5 for $ 4000.  I don’t understand what could be the problem.  |

I don’t understand what could be the problem. Dont you use it in extremly cold or hot conditions? What Is the chip temperature? My are around 70°C |

Chip temperature 41 - 43 °C Try to give it into 20-25°C cos of for example obelisk SC1 was too cold and it runs for 60% of expected hashrate. |
