If you are having issues with the ZenController (raspberry Pi) here's what I suggest you can do to possibly find the problem:

Connect the HDMI cable from the ZenController to a display and plug a USB keyboard into the ZenMiner.  Login using

Username: root
Password: gawminers


Once logged in, you can enter the cgminer screen process by typing: screen -r

You will see the current output from cgminer and if you're like me, instantly realize you did not enter your pool credentials correctly.


To exit the screen and leave cgminer running, press Control-a-d.  (i.e. hold 'Control' then press 'a' then press 'd').


If you dont have an HDMI compatible display, the ZenController is preconfigured to grab an IP address from the network via DHCP.  So you can login to your internet router and the ZenController will probably listed in your list of connected devices / DHCP leases.  You can then SSH into the ZenController using the same login info as above.  You could also scan your network for the IP address, or randomly try IP addresses on your network until you get an SSH connection.

Mine won't even get an IP address. Not from my router, or my extender. Tested on known working ports with known working cables.

Connected a monitor to it and it asked me to install an OS to it.  I'm wondering if I didn't get the ZenMiner OS installed on mine.

Is your flash card inserted solidly?   You can download the flash image (OS and mining binary) from GAW, then put it onto your card.

I highly doubt it would run on a 12v 30 amp supply.  Not enough power!

So I should be able to run it on my 12V@30A supply I have ten Gridseed 5-chips on as well as power a couple Fury's too?  <5A is much more reasonable.  Just need some power adapter cables...   I really don't want to have to run a PC power supply.

[vabchgent]

Does anyone know how to switch pools with the zen miner stuff. Thanks in advance

Has anyone started putting together a list of "known working" power supplies?  I've never mined GPU's so don't have a bunch of PC power supplies laying around.  A dedicated 12V switching supply would be great.  Thoughts?

[Halofire]

I wonder if the hosted gen a's are drawing that much power too...

Any reports from War Machines?

[Cassey]

Thanks for posting the zenOS screenshot - your getting more information than I am.  Mine stops after the MAC address, with no pool information.  Alas, I'm not using "clevermining" though.

Registering to this site since it seems its the only place we are receiving any sort of information about the products etc..Too bad they cant use their site to keep the customers up to date (and have only recently discovered how to email their customers about changes and new information).

I digress, I wanted to ask anyone who works for GAWMiners why they were removing negative reviews on the ASIC Fury page. For your information, censorship is clearly not the way to go. I recommend instead you work harder on delivering a good service and the good reviews will come in time. From what I've seen the hardware looks very promising however the manner in which GAWMiner executed the launch was abysmal to say the least. Very bad communication etc.. Lets just hope this is a learning experience for all.

Troll.

Launch was decent, there were the bumps but they were handled quickly and efficiently. Wasn't a scam, and each situation is being resolved as we still speak.

Week 1 is technically alpha, week 2 beta, week 3 final release. Any one expecting different was not being realistic and shouldnt have had their hopes that high on a community and business as new and young as this one.

For a company only around for a short while, they have released a store front with phenomenal customer service, which continues to grow with the demand. They have released their own series of miners, and provided those with the risk of taking the leap a FREE $40+ unit that they took a loss on in order to make the items more easily maintained.

Abysmal it was not.

Troll.

Decent? Ha, I don't think you know what your taking about. Week 1 is alpha? Your misguided buddy, people who order pre-order six thousand dollar miners don't want to wait around for you to fix your little bug, every hour the machine is not hashing its loosing money - Looking at it otherwise is foolish, this isn't kindergarten its real world business. Further, the whole issue about the ZenMiner wasn't handled well. Sure its a gift, and im sure everyone is grateful but that doesn't explain how there were no communications with customers and it suddenly popped up on the product page..and suddenly left again a day or so later...That screams lack of professionalism. Again, the miner themselves look pretty decent and time will tell if they stand up but Its looking good.  


Finally, why remove negative reviews? If you cant stand the heat, then your clearly in the wrong place. I know im coming off as a dick but you have to understand THEY have to earn my trust and respect, just because they are new doesn't cut them any slack and its stupid to think otherwise.

*LOUD* fans aren't really an option (wife is about to kill be over the 10 GS already) until we get Wi-Fi support...  would a 12@50A supply be enough power for a Black Widow?

[heathcoin]

GAWMiners... can you provide a 12V switching power supply for the Black Widow that could ship with my week 2 orders???  Or provide detailed power requirements in 12V amps for all the new miners?  New products for you to sell.  I really don't want to mess with a PC power supply.  Thank you.

[malkbaby]

Once a zen miner has been registered, what happens?  Can you control more than one miner from a single account?  I wish there was a FAQ because there is literally zero information. This thread is the only reason I got my miners running...they're not hashing but at least I got past the 8 pin connectors incorrectly wired down to 6..

[malkbaby]

Like I've got 3 of the raspberry pi units...one of them controlling 3 Black widows, one controlling 2 furys and the other is basically testing 1 fury...any idea as to whether I can control all the units from a single account?  OR do I need 3 zenminer accounts? :/ I sent a support ticket, let's hope they answer soon! lol

Why don't you have them all hooked up to one zenMiner?

Maybe... That might explain the problems with my hosted war machine today.

This would work, and it's on sale.

Wouldn't something like this work?  ...and no, I'm not the seller!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140536718264

12V@50A and is shipped from USA.  If that's enough power, I'd just need cable adapters...

Why though? It's cheaper going with the PSU above + don't have to buy adapter cables. On top of that the service that comes with NewEgg, free returns/exchanges etc. Who knows what will happen with that eBay unit?

I do have a Thermaltake 850W I can pull from a gaming system I'm not using.  No time for games anymore... <sigh>.

[schnauzr]

I got my Fury's this afternoon.    Hooked them up with Zen and they're hashing away.    Thanks to everyone at GAW for the hard work!

This screen shot was taken after only 15 min., (the mh/s is for 2 Fury's).

I like the reject rate, but how come the discards is as high as the accepts?  Is that normal?

If I had RAM that worked... it'd be mining X11 right now with the GPU's.  But alas... worthless except for parts.

Because I have no idea if that's possible..their shitty GUI interface only shows the option of choose either Fury, Black Widow or Falcon at this time.  I didn't know it could control more than one..that being said I have everything powered on and it seems like the hashes aren't going anywhere. I wish there was some kind of guide or help as to how many zen miner controlers you can control per account, which types of miners can be on the same controller, etc.  There is NO information and it totally sucks.
