ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

[notlist3d]

I can tell you that bitmain instead recognize that if there is a fault in their products you change them as collateral, the problem lies in the distance, I am in Italy and last week I sent my pcb for replacement, now I and realized I was stuck in customs, because by mistake my wife has put a value of 100 euro, then surely they contacted the recipient had to pay and he refused, and then was blocked, now I have to wait for Monday to get in touch with and tnt solve the problem, some bitmain could already send me the new pcb, who still has not sent me

Sounds unfortunate but if they are getting broken gear back to them I would guess most are marked as no value.  If it does not work value would be hard to really come up with a number.

[gaalx]

too, I have a problem with 2 s5.I sent for diagnosis in the Ukrainian Service Center.I report the results.

[marvykkio]

bitmain must find two solutions for us Europeans, to have material security in Europe, and we can make available to us Europeans to buy products without bitmain we pay so much money for shipping, but especially the customs, that I have to buy in Italy 1x S5 pay,: miner 340 usd + shipping 50 usd, usd 115 + Italian customs.
Total $ 505 for 1x S5. is too much money.

I would be willing to act as a branch in Italy to ship in European union, so people pay only the price of the miner, and the shipment without paying customs tax, and total costs 1x s5 to user $ 390 instead of $ 505 .

It seems like if they send them to the Europeans they will have to pay vat I would guess whether it be to a person or business.  Is that not correct?

I personally love having miners at home so I can understand you urge to have them.  But I think you might be better off looking for a hosting center with out a vat.   As no legitimate business will do anything to try to get around vat.  It sucks for those with vat but it's your country making that laws not bitmain.

[marvykkio]

the Italian Government and thief, we have the VAT to 22% and they want to bring to 23%, it means that we Italians are dead, because I have to pay a lot of money miner? I like the rest who have the same problem, I hate the Italian state and shit, and I do not share anything with him, so if I find a way to save bene.se for you no good I think so.

Sadly there is not a good solution.   It is a governmental issue, any legal company will send it through properly which means a vat.

Best solution I can think of for you and others like you is find a hosting center without a vat.  This is really only way.  Bitmain cannot change your laws.  It sucks for miners, but at least there are hosting center options.

I am sure that you received the letter with same instructions :

Bitmain, Apr 7,

Thank you for watching out for us!!  

What country are you located?  Owe you a beer when we meet!

Sorry here it is

https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204875015-How-to-diagnose-S5-hashing-PCB

I guessed right .   I will send my consulting bill in the mail.  

Joking ofcourse.   Have a great day.

I am located in the US.  I got lucky and met a few of your guys at a Chicago BTC conference.   I wanted to go to the New York conference but could not make the scheduling work.

But next BTC conference I see you guys at I will happily go out and get a beer with you guys!

I'll go too and I will buy!

I thought there was instructions I could not remember the amount.  Knew it was not much since it's a non working part.   

On the way to customer I can see it having value as it's working then.  But a dead part does not carry much value, especially 100 dollars.

Is there any way in software to shut the miner down?

I have some remote boxes that are going to be without internet for about 8 hours tomorrow, I don't want to have them overheat.

You can use software such as M's Miner (Ant/SP) Monitor.  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.0  It can do reboots.  But that is not totally what your looking for.

If you use some of the more advanced features you can set up in certain condition for it to reboot miner.  It will work a lot of the time.  But sometimes a miner does need the power shutdown via PSU to solve a problem.

I'm unsure what are you worried about overheat because of? If there is no internet I would think no hashing so very low heat.

no i dont know of any way to turn off the miner completely from software.. just reboot.

you try to SSH into the miner, and do a shutdown -t now

i dunno if that will turn it off tho.. it might put it in a limbo state where you would have to power cycle the psu to get it back on.

[MyRig]

Best be, call the data center you are hosting your miner and request them to power it off, then call them back when the internet is back on to power it on!!

Always, it's better than sorry.

A feature like that would be very nice, like you can do on the Spondoolies boxes.

Back when there was scheduled tasks one could put a hashmark before cgminer-monitor that ran every 3 minutes, save,  then send a halt command via ssh.  Without stopping with cgminer-monitor it would restart.  You might try /etc/init.d/minermonitor stop then ssh in and give a halt.  Then check if it starts heating.  Still you'd have a restart issue with linux shut down your ssh session would cease and not leave a reconnection. 

Living out in the hinterland I had been having internet loss problems some years back.  I put an X-10 device on the docsis cable modem and another on the first router.  On a linux system I have a program to ping my DNS every 5 minutes and test if the ping was good.  If not the x-10 would shut off power to the modem and router, time out a period then restart the modem, wait for its usual wakeup period then wakeup the router, wait for its usual wakeup period then test the ping again.  If left to the docsis modems own devices it sometimes would be down an hour mid-week early in the AM.  With this arrangement it's back up  much sooner.  But the internet losses have been much less frequent the last two years.

You may be able to run x-10 devices from a RPi or BBB.  I'm not sure the X-10 devices can handle miner current so you may have to run those to heavy duty relays.  Then when the halt command kills ssh connections and prevents reconnecting, you can ssh to the device controlling the X-10's, kill the power to the miners for as long as you need, then fire them up when ready.

Thank you, I wound up just shutting them down via ssh, shutdown -h now worked fine.

I have control of the PDU ports, I should be able to cycle them and restart.  If not I'll need to take a drive.

Ahhh we did not know you had the PDU.  If you have a nice PDU that is a great option as far as turning on/off. 

Most don't have this as a option.  But with that if you can get connected to your network via RDP or teamviewer, that should do the trick to tell pdu to turn on socket.
