folks - if you get your miner my advice that if it's running ok - ignore the message that says there's a newer version of firmware and DO NOT UPGRADE until get my problem figured out.  There you go now you are helping with your big boy pants on. |

ciao dickhead...
I was advised to upgrade to the new firmware.
please go back to the rock you crawled out from under....
Anywho...... Is the img file up on their support site. Maybe reflashing the SD will work. not the old one - already checked |

simon's tech guy did get back to be and I'll be trying the original firmware that was shipped on the ssd card.
I have my fingers crossed.
but I still hate rasberry's!

I reflashed using the firmware that comes on the chip and i'm back hashing fine again. it you want to see what's really happening on the system - ssh to the ip address of the rasberry using pi/controla and then tail /var/log/syslog they have debug mode set on so everything is written to the log file or you can just watch it scroll by in the debug window with the clocking set to 301 (default) I'm hashing along at 26.5 mh pics coming in a few what's also nice is they're using cgminer and have the api enabled to I can monitor the machine through cgremote and get alerts if it stops mining (and most mpos pools offer these alerts also). I can't wait till the second arrives and I ordered another today from zighash |

nicely packed when I hot air blowing out of it I figured someone was making some money on my electric and sure enough - someone's account and pool were in there.... I wonder how long they test these things - A WEEK??? LOL aside from the bad power cable to run the rasberry (which I'll get rid of soon) and the problem I had after upgrading the firmware - thee unit is running nicely. I have no been able to test the watts its drawing but it goes generate a decent amount of hot air (so do the guys I work with tho) and the fan is not overly noisy. I have my units in my basement where it's always cool and I can't hear anything from down there anyway. I'm quite impressed that's it's hashing at 26.5 MH with the standard clock setting. I'm not going to experiment with the faster clock setting - you guys can do that because I want his thing to be reliable and last and pay for itself many times over.  back or unit with psu sitting on top (sorry - rotated it for some reason)  front of unit  |

Which fan would you say is louder, The fan on your hashra machine or the fan on a g-blade? |

In case you're wondering about roi on these units - here's a spreadsheet I did today for a friend of mine who wants to get in on altcoin mining but has no technical skills or interest , he just has money and he wants in on the daily income and wants me to do it all for him.  |

Did you account for difficulty increase over time. This spreadsheet has projections on the popular scrypt miners:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tB-gwXXNbOtMIlMOyYvYcTQ/htmlview?pli=1#gid=1966313813 |

nope - no need to - just switch to a new coin - there are dozens every week! |

I'll just use my projections because at least for me everything I've done thus far my calculations has been really close to my real returns. |

So still no word on the 'amazing deals' that Hashra will offer batch one customers for batch two. Now they've released batch two for almost half price of batch one, shipping two weeks apart makes me feel ripped off. Especially as my unit is still apparently in Hong Kong. It's June 6th ffs...will it finally arrive before you send batch two?

actually 24% less than we paid Going on 6 hours now of mining.... at the standard clock rate of 291 it's hashing at 26.25 MH consistently I'm not going to crank it up either. |

BTW these new machines, doesn't reboot nicely. Sometimes (not every time) when rebooted, the miner is still busy with the previous session, occupying the usb connection. When the PI is rebooted, It can't find the usb devices, so this is why it wasn't hashing after the firmware update (which is followed by an automatic reboot).
But once it's running, it will keep running. Just remember to do a power cycle after reboot (and firmware update)

thanks unless there is some compelling reason to update, I'll stick with the original firmware for the time being until I switch over to my linux box - thanks |

at least you didn't buy 6mh/s of gridseed for almost $5k from zoom like I did. Shity part it took me nearly a month to start mining because they forgot half my order. Now they're selling 22mh/s for only $2.7k. If I had only waited a lil longer I would be mining with 44mh/s instead of my measly 6mh/s ha |
