It came in 119 boxes with no instructions, if that says anything.
Seems these are quite the disaster so far...not too impressed (with AM not Canary). |

True...I think that if AM just assembles them in the future they will be much better. They best to hurry up though with using over 1 watt per GH at the wall these will not be viable for much longer.

As a shareholder very disappointed in AM. Not good those who purchased and I'll give pause to any more orders with fc. Significant compensation is needed. Keep strong Canary and sort on. |

Umm... he drove 7 hours one way to pick them up in person... DHL delivered at a time that I couldn't possibly get anything out last night. I'm going to need a usps miracle to get mine wed before I leave the states.
I needed one too... just got home today minerless ;( Hope you get yours! Don't worry folks, I am packing them up. They will all head out ASAP. Also, Sidehack popped over and picked up the ones for hosting by him. And we both took a stab at assembling one, it's not too bad actually. well i was first to pay and not first to be shipped to as you allowed sidehack to get his ahead of me. not a complaint in any way . I do understand he ordered more then me and that I have not ordered as much gear from you as he has in older sales. I have ordered a lot from you in the last year. I tell you what if that assembled one works well how about shipping it to me on tues. thanks Phil best regards phil  |

Anyone that has miners in this GB hosted with me, I just arrived back at the shop with all of them in hand. I actually beat the DHL truck by about 4 hours which is funny considering I had a 400-mile drive, but we got everything unloaded and checked over. I think Canary was looking at pulling an all-nighter to get stuff sorted out and start shipping ASAP. He was pretty upset with the truck delays.
In any case, I'm gonna go take a nap what with the driving all night thing, and then start putting miners together. These dudes seriously have 164 screws per machine. Also make sure you note the board orientation on the heatsinks before strapping the fan on. In fact I think I'd advise mounting the boards to the heatsinks before sliding the heatsinks together, will probably save some hassle.
Also anyone hosting with me needs to get me their pool credentials so I can load these guys up and get 'em running without delay.
I wish I knew you were going to pick yours up assemble them and host them. I would have never purchased a label and had you do mine. moan and groan and moan some more not at you or canary but AM/FC was a bad boy. I wasted 36 on shipping and maybe a week of time by not letting you host mine. if you get them running let us know. I am venting because since I placed this order 1) my cooktop caught fire- 800 usd to replace it still waiting as it is on back order 2) my 18 month old washer broke 900 usd still waiting for it to be replaced as it is on back order 3) i replaced my out door built in grill went smooth but cost 2ooo usd as wife wanted stainless steel 4) i have to drive 200 miles round trip to help out my brother-in-law get un expected exploratory surgery So sitting in front of a pile of parts does not appeal to me right now. oh welll at canary i am sure you are as annoyed as any of us. 1 am just venting as i won't be able to sit around at my leisure and tinker. in my case the post office and am/fc will do okay i will be lucky to get time on tues next week to assemble so sept 3 for up time at best. if i knew sidehack was picking up and hosting jumping past me in line i simply would have not purchased a label and let him take one more and host it for me. |

Glad to hear you got back and all is good! - Looks like I should have every verified label shipped out in a few more hours. a bunch of batches already went out. |

Again, I'm not faulting canary, just FC/AM the only disaster is that ASICMiner's reshipper AND HK DHL station chocked. they got swamped with boxes from fc and caused some serious delays. the other part, it being a DIY kit, is not a disaster because it's a DIY kit. this is just an opinion and all the chatter about it is noise. some people care, some don't. but everyone cares about shipping disasters. it takes 15-20 mins to put it together but requires some tools, digits dexterity and patience. |

to be clear mine item is marked accepted by the post office and my complaints are not against canary or sidehack. I am just frustrated over delays and the events that happened to me while waiting.
so canary and sidehack please accept apologies on my part.
best regards Phil
@ sidehack let us know how the setup goes photos details etc.

Cutting edge? FC is making you his bitch by having you build your own miner with no instructions. And the miners aren't even that efficient. |

I got one already assembled. After going over it with Canary last night, it went pretty quickly. It's not running currently as I'm annoyed by trying to find pools that will accept its apparently not standards-compliant share format. I was hoping slush's proxy might for some reason repackage and submit shares but that doesn't appear to be the case, I think it just forwards stratum straight on as is. Additionally I did some power tests. The DC power output measurements were erroneous/bad to be sure, but I hooked up a power meter to one of the hosting circuits and got some rough measures of AC load (into a D750) at various clock settings. | MHz | GH | IAC | VAC | WAC | W/GH | | 270 | 829 | 4.4 | 212 | 933 | 1.13 | | 260 | 799 | 4.25 | 212 | 901 | 1.13 | | 250 | 768 | 4.1 | 213 | 873 | 1.14 | | 240 | 737 | 3.9 | 213 | 831 | 1.13 | | 230 | 707 | 3.8 | 213 | 809 | 1.14 | | 220 | 676 | 3.6 | 213 | 767 | 1.13 | | 210 | 645 | 3.5 | 213 | 746 | 1.16 | | 200 | 614 | 3.3 | 213 | 703 | 1.14 |
Those current measurements are by no means precise, as all I had was a 0-100A meter with tenths precision. Everything still reads out as a good 10-14% worse than expected. Also if you'd have asked for hosting I'd have turned you away. We're full up, even without these pulling 10% more power than expected. |

So far, I've only gotten it to work against ghash pool I got one already assembled. After going over it with Canary last night, it went pretty quickly.

I figured if these were like the cubes that Slush's proxy would handle it. Gonna be interesting and a pain in the ass if I gotta move my whole farm to another pool just for 1 device. |

The Cubes required the proxy because they only ran getwork. These guys do stratum natively, but apparently they don't do it quite right. Either that or every pool ever has implemented their standards wrong but every other hardware ever somehow compensated (which seems unlikely).
If I knew any python, and had any time at all, and knew more about the stratum packet formats, I'd consider tearing into the proxy and seeing if the erroneous portion can be spoofed and get a proxy going that'll fix the issue with these at least until there's a firmware update.
