New Official AMT Thread

[ISAWHIM]

The 16 AWG wire from my gaming-rig worked great... Doesn't even get warm with all five cards blasting-away. But I had to also remove the kill-a-watt meter, because it has a limit of 15 Amps, and this is pushing 16.2 Amps. Even that was crazy-hot.

Any-who... Now it is running full-force, holding steady at around 1.26 THs at the machine-level. (Waiting for the Ghash.io hourly results.)

I shaved-off about 80-watts (resistance and heat-stress), by removing all the screws from the case, except the three at the back. I added a single 1/2" riser to hold the case cracked-open on the front-side. Also, I have cardboard air-dams, between the cards. This is just a long piece of cardboard that is folded to look like a "U". This forces the air into the cooling-fins, with excess escaping around the cardboard. The air now travels the entire length of the cooling-fins. The fans are a lot quieter now and the heat-sinks are cool to the touch.

All of the above, also included some wire-management, keeping the power wires across the top and the ribbon-cables all out of the path of air. Finally, each card was also removed, and the screws tightened. (Some were not just loose, they were half-way unscrewed.) Bonus for mounting one heat-sink compressed directly to the other, with micro-thin heat-transfer sheeting. I still have an urge to cut them in half, by height. I can fit ten cards and two PSU's and controllers in that case, easily.

Unfortunately, I do not feel "compensated" by the single unit. Sorry, but that is my honest opinion. That being said... It is also my opinion that you are "still" honestly trying to "do us right". (A few individuals being an exception.)

I should be back online and raising hell myself, soon. But, for now, I figured that I would take the time to post a few words. Lucky for everyone, I do not have hours to post replies. xD

I'm not at home but DHL confirms delivery. Will post pictures as soon as I can.

How the hell do they alert you if you don't have a tracking number?

[Boi qaaf]

Holy shit boi queef, if you can't look through this thread and see the history AMT has with their customers, you are a giant moron. There are better deals for miners right now, there is zero reason to risk your money / coin on this company. There are companies out there that reliably ship miners every day, and have solid reviews and products. Look at how many of the people here are receiving problem units?

I may be a moron, but I'll be a moron hashing away on AMT miners next week.

Looking forward to seeing that one pic I requested, AMT. Have your rep Josh snap one while there in China, and this deal's sealed.

Great to hear Boi,

Josh will be heading to the factory tomorrow morning sometime and he can take a few pictures of them. We appreciate your business.

Found-out the issue... However, you are also right...

Normally, the computer is setup on AUTO, but someone (not my original computer)... had setup x.x.137.0 as the gateway for IPV4 assignments of the DHCP server.

That, and my firewall was rejecting everything, not sure how that happened.

Code:

Solution: If you are plugged directly into the machine, without a router.
Go to "Control panel" -> "Network and Sharing Center" -> (Side bar) "Change Adapter Settings"
Select the network-card that you are plugged-in to...
Select: "Properties" (2nd-mouse or right-mouse click menu)
Select: "Inernet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
Select: "Properties" (below the list)

Unselect: "Obtain an IP Address Automatically"

(Enter the following below)
IP Address: 197.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 197.168.1.0

Prefered DNS Server: (blank) or 8.8.8.8 (<- Setup page expects this, but blank works too, since this is manual.)

END OF SOLUTION

If using a router, there is a similar page in the advanced network setup (for the router, get to it by typing the IP of the router DNS)... Same values... but no DNS there... The router is usually the DNS.

This, with using my USB WiFi, bridged to the network-card, treats my computer as the router. I don't have any more free routers to use, or plugs left to operate them.

However, the five cards pull about 1800-1900 Watts (15.83-16.25 Amps) at the wall, which is WAY tooo much power for the 18ga wire they gave me. (18ga wire can only handle about 1800 Watts or 16-Amps peak in open-air, and only about 10 Amps enclosed in plastic-wire-casing, constantly.) This load-ability is reduced, even more, as the wire heats and resistance increases, potentially causing an electrical fire. The wires were too hot to hold, after an hour of running.

Still, five cards gave me a solid 1.25THs at the box and an average of 1.18THs on Ghash.io.

Granted, I have the case cracked-open on the exhaust-side, about 1/2 an inch to allow air to actually flow through better, and I have inserted some air-dams to force the air through the fins. (As opposed to shooting over the top of them, essentially making the heat-sinks active-cooling, instead of passive cooling.) Sooo much easier to work with this setup, but it still could be better.

I have unplugged that fifth card, since I can not monitor the machine while I sleep, and the day will get hot by the time I wake. Add some 90F ambient temps to the already overheated wire and restrictive air-flow, and that is a setup for, well... a nice camp-fire. With the four cards, it is pulling only about 1400 Watts and giving only 1.02THs at the box and 880GHs on Ghash.io. Acceptable for the unit, for now.

Would like a way to tune it... Can it still be adjusted with PuTTYing into it, like the others?

I would rather have it run slightly leaner, and more "energy efficient". Running at 1THs and 1200-1300 Watts, with all five cards running. (Instead of four running full-blast, consuming nearly twice the power for a few GHs more, each card.)

The whole unit could be about 6" shorter (height) and about 1" thinner (width), and 3" less deep (long). Fits in a lot cleaner than the other design and stacks better too!

So now I have to find some good 14-16ga computer power-cable wire. One made for 2000+ watts. (Told you it would have been better to have two PSU's and power-cables. 3 and 3 for a 1.5THs unit, or just smaller units of 3-4 cards.)

I'll take some snap-shots, for those who like that stuff. Unfortunately, I don't have a great camera.

Thanks for this helpful post ISAWHIM. Your patients and the fact your staying positive is highly appreciated and wont be forgotten down the road.

I was sent one via txt message to my phone. The problem is now that someone signed for it but it's not at the house.

If you can access SSH terminal then you can change the language to English. If you SSH into the miner and open the file /var/www/conf.php there is a LANG variable that is set to "zh". Change that to "en" and save the file. The site will be in English.

patients = patience? /facepalm

criticizing the miners at this stage of the game, admittedly, would be moot. the UI on these things are in mandarin? sigh.

AMT,
     My brother's unit is hashing presently. All 5 of his cards are green and show up hashing in the interface. His interface is in Chinese but we got it working.

     However, I also noticed that in his Chinese interface the "Temp" field is populating with values. On my machine the value is stuck on 0 for the 4 cards that are showing.

      Let me know what I should do to get the temp field working and if I should return the top card for replacement.

Thanks in Advance.

If you SSH into the miner and open the file /var/www/conf.php there is a LANG variable that is set to "zh".

The file looks something like this:
{"freqs":["900","900","900","900","900"],"diff":"14","lang":"zh","pools":["stratum+tcp:.....

Change the "zh" to "en":
{"freqs":["900","900","900","900","900"],"diff":"14","lang":"en","pools":["stratum+tcp:.....

Change that to "en" and save the file. Refresh the website and the site will be in English.

I'm not at home but DHL confirms delivery. Will post pictures as soon as I can.

Thanks...an unboxing would be excellent to see. I am planning my own unboxing once the hardware arrives.

It seems that it has been "delivered" but it is not here. I do not know the person who signed for the package. I've been in contact with both AMT and DHL. DHL says they will contact me again within the next 4 hrs by a research specialist.

Happy to hear others are finally able to start hashing.

[C0Kez3R0]

AMT_Miners:

I received my 1.2TH unit yesterday. I highly commend your efforts to follow through with production and shipment. However, I was wondering if I am able to receive a refund? Looking back, I should have declined the package and saved myself the shipping fees and potential disqualification for a refund. But I am just wondering if that is possible.

Thanks.

AMT,
     With my 4 cards working I'm getting a lower than expected hash rate. Can you let me know what to do to troubleshoot why the cards are working at a lower speed? I'm only getting an average of 730 GH. The 5th card is not attached right now since it doesn't work.

     Let me know,

Thanks in Advance.

Change pools for sure. You should be getting 1Th at least with 4 cards. Regarding the settings problem you mentioned we're looking into it and will get back to you tomorrow. Honestly your best bet is to ask the other forum members, it might take a day or so to get a technical answer on this, we dont have one of your those miners in the office yet. ISAWHIM and Avaughan4 are both very knowledgeable clients, they may be nice enough to help you out.

Just a quick idea before we get a technical answer on this. Get your brother to copy the card from his miner flash an sd card with the copied image. You can use win image 32 for making the copy.

[C0Kez3R0]

My questions always seem to be avoided. So I ask again; can I get a refund? I did ask for one a good while back. So, is that possible?

Yes you can still get a refund after the suit with IMET is finished. Please email sales@advancedminers.com with your order number and tracking number thanks.

Anyone happen to know the password to SSH into the unit?

I was able to use "admin" for the name, but "admin", "pass", "password", and "amt" do not work for the password.

Mine was already in English.

The default user/pass is root/admin.
