Block Erupter Prisma Compensation and Buy-back Plan

[CrazyGuy]

I think we've still got about 20 of Novak's USB adapters on hand. Is AM sending USB adapters with the new Prismas, or just BE controllers, or neither?

The units I have in hand are replacements, so I can't speak to what is regularly included. I did receive a number of new BE controllers with the board adapters. The BE controllers have new firmware which allows the following:

1) All 3 UART buses enabled
2) 5 bit address space for each prisma board (combined with 3 uart buses allows for a maximum of 96 boards or 24 prismas per 1 controller)
3) Backup pool configuration

It's a generic buy-back, not a selective one.

FUCK YOU FC!!!!!!

Hello,
Sorry for the so long delayed reply.

Our Buy-back Plan just aims to Prisma, not inlcuding Tube. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sounds pretty God Damn selective to me.

scum-bag moron

Yes, there seems to be a contrast in statements here.
perhaps AM would like to prove their commitment to the community and issue the refund in a generic manner to whonesta.
i feel this would be beneficial to all parties concerned. 

ROFLMAO....  good one..

Well NO generic buy back for me. I got 0.6040288 BTC refund (9.7083 purchase price) on 40 boards, 4 of which were turds. I just received a USED/Dirty replacement unit of which 1 board is dead as a door nail. AM, Friedcat, and Phasebird dropped the ball BIG-time on these two products. I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING AM AGAIN! The most unprofessional manufacturer BARE NONE!

Anyone reading these threads needs to BE WARNED they are crawling with AM shareholders and shills. Their ONLY interest is to sell GARBAGE in the hopes they can make a profit off their worthless AM shares.

DO NOT buy from this company!

I have a few of my own unopened replacement units available for purchase on ASICPuppy.net

I apologize if I'm coming across poorly, but I wanted to note that I take issue with the verbiage;

"Running at a max of 1.47 th/s, the prisma averages 0.8 watts per gh, making it one of the most efficient miners on the market."

Considering 0.5-0.6W is "the norm" with Bitmain and SPTech, I thought this was a little bit dishonest.

Claiming that 0.5-0.6 J/Gh is "the norm" with Bitmain and Spondoolies is also dishonest. Unless you significantly underclock the miners and thereby significantly increase the cost per Gh, the only product in that range from either of those companies is the S5.

 the s-5 does .49 to .52  from freq  275 to freq 412  pretty impressive ,but actually  not  as it should scale to  around .40 at freq 275.  so the frozen voltages screw us all in the longterm.

the sp20 has .44 to .65  at 900gh to 1500gh.   my complaint is calling it a 1700gh miner more then anything else.

what i would have liked was an s-5   with firmware/software that allowed volts to go from 9 to 12 volts.  this would have been the best miner ever built.

Now i am waiting for the voltage trimmer from sidehack to see what the s-5 will do.

back to the prisma's here.

 it will be loud gear  and it will use power you need to be in a low cost power area to do okay with it.

 Crazy's rasp pi with minera was a good build ran very well with my prisma.  I was just too afraid of running it. allowed for easy control of the prisma.
