Why are my posts being deleted? I posted provable facts and my opinions about them. 1130W (what it's up to now) is *far* more power than the Falcon should be drawing based on what we were told. I'm going to try a 1000W PSU tomorrow to see if it has better efficiency than my 850W. I doubt it will be much lower though.

I'm going to post up an unboxing and setup video tonight.

@Gaw CEO talking to Zen Miners:

It would be great if you could ask them to ship working units and have a real support website and not just an email.  I can't get the stupid things to work.  I have 3 of them.  None of them will register online.  When I plug them into the TV with HDMI it just stupidly asks for the raspberry pi login.  This leads me to believe there is no actual custom software on the memory cards, or if there is it's not loaded. I don't know the login or have any help...has anyone figured it out yet? 

Thanks

Zenminer grabs an IP address, but won't start hashing. What troubleshooting steps do I take?

[tyknee]

Anyone else getting "Miner Activation Error" on Zenminer's site?

EDIT - I disconnected/reconnected the USB cable, that seemed to do the trick. I also clicked the register button a few times.

My Fury was shipped a few days late, but GAW Miners_CEO (I don't recall his actual name atm) quickly paid me for my lost mining time (with a little extra!). Payment was made super fast and was in accordance to "or we pay you for your lost mining time" guarantee on their website. Thanks Guys!

GAWMiners once again proving they ARE the standard of service for bitcoin and altcoin mining equipment!

I don't know why an HDMI cable was included, it's definitely not needed.  I got mine to register when it first came up yesterday and had no problems once I connected my Black Widow to it.  I don't know why the 4 digit # is needed, like that can't be falsified with a copied SD card....

I'm not wild about a cloud controller especially since I can't see much data at all, but I've expressed my concerns to them already.

I can't say why your having issues but you will not get any local interface on the Zen Controller.  You can't log into the console and there is not web interface at its IP.  All its doing it talking to the Zenminer site where you setup your miners and pools.

Yea it's odd I have 3 of the damn things but none of them are registering....how long did it take the site to recognize your miners?  I've been trying to activate mine now for like 10 minutes =(

Moments, like under 1 minute.

[malkbaby]

Yea that's why I plugged in the freaking HDMI to see what was going on, just had generic raspberry pi login screen.  Has anyone plugged in their HDMI to one that's working to see if it looks any different?

[RockDaddy]

Looks no different

[rawtashk]

Plugged in my ZenMiner today, but it would never register on my network.  Finally hooked it up to my PC with the HDMI cable to check it out.  It's asking me to install an OS, and anything I click on says "This will overwrite the current OS".  I do not have an option to exit or boot to an OS.

Did I get an SD card without the ZenMiner OS on it?  Also, the miner never registers on the zenminer site.

I'm running .4 KwH for 20 minutes.... 1200watts/hour. My psu is 1200watts and the wires are getting hot. I video taped my unboxing as well, although I found nothing wrong except some scratches on the casing.

edit: deduct 100-125 watts for mobo and idle video card. Sorry...

Thanks. That's about the same as mine. I'm using a Raidmax RX-850AE which is 80 Plus Gold so it should be pretty efficient. Hopefully the RX-1000AE I'm going to try tomorrow will bring it down a little. This power use is a major problem for me. I could have run 700-800W on one of our circuits but 1100W+ is more than they can handle.

You downloaded drivers here?http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
other than that, incorrect ports listed? i left mine as was found from the cgminer download site, don't know about ports for 2 units though.

Glad to see pics going up

Got a favor to ask. I am meeting with the CEO of ZenMiner tonight. I would like to talk about the features our customers want and the order of priority.

Is someone willing to make a form that will allow people to add features and the ability to vote? If possible, we need to do it asap. This way I have it in time for the meeting.

Start some voting here if you like

It's been running for about 30 minutes now.  I just realized I forgot to mention that it is running on Windows in a VM that is on a Mac computer (Couldn't figure out how to make it mine in OSX).  Not sure if that could be an issue.

Thanks!

It's the Fury.  The pool seems accurate (a bit low though), but cgminer is way high.  Did I miss something?

Thanks!

Anyone else getting weird output from their miner under windows?  I just set my up and I see this:
(5s):28.69M (avg):28.81Mh/s | A:115 | R:0 | HW:10 | U: 2.5/m WU: 1331.6/m

The pool is saying this:

Your current Hashrate: 1004 kH/s

What miner is it?

Does it still show the same figures after running for a bit. Or how long has it been running.

Can you post your config file? Minus you pool info.

Haha, I found the problem when looking at my config.  I still had:

--chips-count 128

instead of changing it to:

--chips-count 6

 
Thank you for the help

Just a thought but wouldn't it make a LOT more sense to default to --chips-count 6?  Those who can afford larger rigs can change it but a beginner who would probably start with a Fury just starts mining.
