Cgminer is doing that on all platforms. that's why I went to the zenminer. It is keeping the miner at 1.3 on pool and at miner.

Anybody else have security concerns with zenminer?  I just get the shivers thinking about a web ap that can reach out to hardware on my net and modify it - and what that means if they get hacked...

Just curious if I'm being more paranoid than usual?

My cgminer stats running under gentoo linux on the Pi:

 (5s):0.000 (avg):1.325Mh/s | A:2153  R:209  HW:119  U:6.5/m  WU:1260.9/m
 ST: 2  SS: 0  NB: 558  LW: 2735  GF: 0  RF: 0
 Connected to mine.multicoinpool.org diff 512 with stratum as user Cassey.PI3
 Block: faabcb57d93d5035...  Diff:31.3K  Started: [20:06:38]  Best share: 434K

 ICA 0:                | 1.264M/1.325Mh/s | A:2153 R:209 HW:119 U:  6.53/m

Pretty much the 1.32-1.33 I was seeing under zenminer.

Note:  The (5s) time bounces ALL over the place, from 0 to 22k to multi-meg.  I basically ignore it.

Separate subnet my good friend. :-)

I wanted to buy an A2 and they pulled it down today.  Is it a supply issue or is there a power issue with these chips too?  also I notice none of these come with their own power supply.  It sounds like the bricks are not a good buy for something this big - can someone with an A2 tell me what they are running?

The A2 Terminator is a completely self contained unit. It contains fans, blades, power supply and RasPi inside the case. The PSU is a standard gold rated ATX computer power supply.

Thank you for the update - anyone know why GAW took down the A2 from the website today when it was there yesterday?  I was going to buy it and it's gone

After failing with the Zencontroller, Ubuntu box and Windows, I finally got it running on a Pi. I think I've seen other people complain about the unit stuttering. I compiled on the pi with curses and you can see below that every once in a while the fury will slow down significantly (400-500k/hs 5 sec average). Quite concerning.

Cgminer is doing that on all platforms. that's why I went to the zenminer. It is keeping the miner at 1.3 on pool and at miner.

cgminer is keeping the average at 1.3mh/s as well. Don't you suppose it's stuttering with zenminer as well, you just can't monitor it as closely?

[alienesb]

anybody has a hosted Black widow ? what's the hashrate looking like ? above 13mhs ?

I have one hosted and gets about 13.3mhs

PLEASE..  Pretty please..  Could GAW(Josh) please start an Announcement tread on here..

This tread has turned into a zencontroller,Furry, War Machine, shipping etc etc Info thread and my eyes and fingers are bleeding trying to keep up with this thread just to try and pick out important Announcement Info...  And I know we have the mailing list where Final announcements will be made(Although not everything seems to make it in this mailing list) but I like reading all of Josh's tease of coming announcements..  Keeps me on the edge of my seat..


Thank you..

The pool side rate is right using the zenminer on windows the hash rate was dropping pool side also.

[alienesb]

I picked up another Blade from GAW because with my rewards points it brought down to $535 which is an awesome $ per hash. I'll probably get one I'm using hosted right now which is kind of poetic.

Hi all.
We heard a few nights back that GAWminers will be leaving bitcointalk soon, after outgrowing it, and will have its own forum.  From what I've been told, its going to be a nice, proper, commercially supported effort which I heartily support.
Until then, I humbly offer this site:  http://gawforum.usertalk.info
Its nothing fancy, but will hopefully allow us to organize our conversations a bit better than bitcointalk is designed for.
Cheers,
Cassey

This looks good and I like that you have key lessons learned that we need to have front and center like using the 6 pin connector not the 8-pin that can short out if the wrong one is used. It will be really nice to have a link to instructions and downloads that can be found at the top-level.

Would someone please upload a photo of HOW to plug in a 6-pin connector into the 8-pin socket??? 

Thanks!

it's easy the only use the 6 pins on the right side (latch should be facing up). Look at the connectors some round and some square. It only fits one way.

Thank you!  I didn't realize they were keyed so you can't mess it up!

Dear Forum Users and Customers,

This will be our last announcement here .

Lets start with a brief update. The last few days have been incredible. Between shipping all the first weeks’ Generation A Miners and launching our partnership with ZenMiner, it’s been an exciting week!

We could not be more excited by the feedback we have received from our GENERATION A LAUNCH; here are just a few comments:

Review:
New user, first post here.

Boxes have started arriving in the mail, and I just wanted to give some major kudos to GAW and Josh in particular. We took a gamble on you for this pre-order business but I'm starting to breathe much easier now. GAW has delivered on absolutely everything they've promised, and much, much more.
- store credit to compensate for Gridseed price drop
- next day, free shipping on product launch
- non-stop engagement on this forum by Josh, keeping us informed and answering questions and concerns
- excellent response to customer service inquiries
- free zenminer controllers

Oh. My. GAW.

Seriously. I just keep getting more than I ever expected.

And I'm sure I'm missing some. This level of customer service (especially in this particular business) is unprecedented, and I have to believe that this product launch is a loss-leader when everything is tallied. BUT... GAW has made a loyal customer here, and probably many more.

Whatever the mining future holds, I can't wait to see GAW play a major role in it.  Keep up the great work.

Review:
I just got the unexpected Zen Controller / Raspberry Pi gift from GAWminers.  Thank you so much!  I've never received a outright gift like that from a company before.  

And I got tracking for my Week 1 Fury - maybe slightly behind schedule but the free upgrade to DHL courier more than makes up for that.  It will get here days sooner than regular post.

Thanks for everything GawMiners!

Review:
My Black Widows are running for a few hours now, the mentioned 18mhs seems about right. Variance is quite high but in the long run it's arund 18mhs.

So getting 18mhs for an advertised 13mhs machine is quite outstanding if you ask me!

Cheers and thanks GAW-team

Review:
I have a Fury hosted and can report of the same hashrate, very happy, too :-)

Review:
My miners have been up and running for a few hours now so I thought I'd report the hash rates I'm seeing.

Black Widows - portal and poolside, 18MH/s!
Fury - portal, 1MH/s, poolside, 1.6-1.8MH/s!

Review:
Wow, I am beyond happy. GAW delivered early and the miners are producing way over advertised hash rate. What more could you ask for? Awesome. Cool

Only down side is instead of taking those $750 used G-blades of your hands I'm gonna have to buy another Black Widow now. Cheesy

Review:
Another happy GAW customer here.  I've ordered (and received) 2 Gridseeds from them in the past and just completed an order for a Fury.
Very happy with the service (Amanda was great!) and looking forward to getting the Fury and included Zen Controller!

Review:
Received 2 days ago, super easy setup and running at 1.3-1.8 mhs. Great customer service and Zencontroller is amazing. Waiitng to see those week one prices again. Keeep up the good work gawminer

Review:
1 week Fury. Im very happy with this product. Nice hash 1.3-1.4 MH/S in my pool. Working good with free ZenControler. What else?

Review:
Received my ZenMiner 1 day before receiving my Fury , Web page is easy to access , nothing hard to config , ZENOS as been updated
now we can see accepted shares etc.. much better now , and will probably be much more better in a few days

Review:
I bought a Black Widow from GAW after my Cyclone from Zeus. My Black Widow shipped AFTER my Cyclone, and my Black Widow is hashing away at 14MH/s while my Cyclone sits in a Chinese warehouse being probed. I'm definitely unhappy with my Zeus purchase and wish I had put that money towards a bigger box from GAW instead.

GAW seems to be the perfect company to buy hardware from at this moment. Where zeus was first in the spot of: best hardware company, now GAW does. They offer free shipping (or for 25 bucks express shipping), and are a lot cheaper than Zeusminer. And oh they even give a refund... I think about 80% of the people would actually cancel their order if it would be possible, and go to GAW miners. But maybe I have an image of GAWminers which isn't realistic

I'd go with GAW again in a heartbeat, they even take cc's which makes this easier.


As the week ends, we have another exciting announcement

GAW Miners is moving from the bitcointalk forum:

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with "Get Satisfaction" to launch “GAW Community”! Our new platform will allow us to deliver better support and announcements.

We will also offer new features like being able to vote on new products you would like us to offer and pitching us ideas!

GAW Community is located at: community.gawminers.com

This has been an amazing ride and we are so thankful to everyone in the community that has supported us here. We thank the staff at bitcointalk for their support and dedication to our company.

Going forward, all support and conversation will take place on “GAW Community”. So we will be locking this thread. We will still check in on our PM from time to time, but we will no longer provide any support through bitcointalk.

Farewell and we will see you on GAW Community!

GAW Miners Team

I have one hosted and gets about 13.3mhs

...
For the short period of time where it was on (about 4 hours)  I would have between 13-14Mhs but only after using scantime=1 expiry=120 and adding no-submit-stale to the config...
...

Thanks, hmm.. was hoping to see 15/16 Mh/s but doesn't look like that's possible, wondering what kind of performance impact the new firmware will have on it.

See my posts earlier in this thread.  My Black Widow has been running at 15.5 MH/s for almost 24 hours.
