I hope this doesn't slow down/alienate/freak out foreign customs processing when they see those chips. It certainly won't accelerate it. Lol!  Cheesy

Common, those days when it could matter are (thank god) long, long, gone.

Hello everyone!

I apologize for the little time I've had to answer e-mails and forums. I will do my best to catch up in the coming days..

I've put up our last gold master image on Mega.co.nz for download (HINT: this image contains the missing piece from our easter egg hunt )

News:
- As some of you may have noticed, we have reopened M-board sales. More products are soon to follow including H-cards at new lower prices, new M&H cards, USB sticks etc.
- There will be no more preorders, everything is shipped within 24-48h depending on received order volume. We try to ship same day as much as we can.
- There are even more new products in development, but I will not go into details before they're working rock solid.
- And last but not least we have a new batch of chips with a new logo for teh lulz:

Was expending stuff last week, but nothing arrived.. I'm sure we'll get some stuff next week, but if it's the new boards we need a few days to get acquainted with them.


ok, im still waiting for the H boards Cheesy

I have a 400 GH/s unit here which is heavily underperforming (~ 200 GH/s): http://imgur.com/hI8qQsZ
Of course I put the cards into their slots according to what was written on them.
PSU is a Super Flower 1000W. Pool is BTC Guild with min. diff. 512

Looks like something is going wrong, as to my knowledge 400 GH/s units are tested before shipping. What can I do/try?

have the same exact issue

My solution is:
Right after you have booted the rig log in through ssh (putty) and run the start command manualy

sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh

works each and every time.
Buttons in UI dont work for me and i dont know why.

Weird.  Huh

sudo cp /run/shm/.stat.log best.cnf [enter] --> I guess the second parameter should be /opt/bitfury/best.cnf? Otherwise I would copy the best.cnf to the home directory where it has no effect (I think?)

I have sufficient cooling. The supplied fans run at 12V and are directly pointed towards the unit / hcards.

Thank you for the correction!

It is supposed that you are in /opt/bitfury/chainminer already after executing the first block of code.
Code:
cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer [enter]

EDIT: but still it will not end in /opt/bitfury ,so your addition is correct

Before all test edit plz file  /opt/bitfury/best.cnf and change all   aIfDSo to    AIfDSo

Do exactly the opposite.

Here's a short how-to as indeed we have tested all rigs to run at 400GH easily (for this to work you need to have a rig that is working. If your rig is not mining at all you might need to recompile the miner executable (see instruction #1)):

Instruction #1 (Web configuration page shows 0 hashrate)

1. SSH into the pi (username: pi password: raspberry) If you're unfamiliar with SSH, google it up.
2. Run following commands:
Code:
cd /opt/bitfury/chainminer [enter]
sudo make clean [enter]
sudo make [enter] (wait for the compilation process to complete!)
sudo reboot [enter]
3. After a few moments your web configuration should display hashrate. If not, check your internet connection and connection to pool.

Instruction #2 (Web configuration page shows low hashrate)

Solution A
1. Make sure you have entered your pool info in all 3 rows and that the pulldown menu on the left shows YES on each row. Enter pool address without prefix e.g. nl1.ghash.io NOT stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3333. Enter stratum port in corresponding field.
2. Press save and restart stratum proxy -button
3. Press stop miner and start miner -button

Solution B
1. Power off your miner (from PSU)
2. Power on your miner and let it run for about 7 minutes (so stat.log doesn't get rewritten every few seconds and you don't get an incomplete file)
3. SSH into the pi (username: pi password: raspberry) If you're unfamiliar with SSH, google it up.
4. Run following commands:

Code:
sudo cp /run/shm/.stat.log /opt/bitfury/best.cnf [enter]
sed -i ‘s/AIfDSo/aIfDSo/g’ /opt/bitfury/best.cnf [enter]
sudo reboot [enter]

First, test each card individually.
Do test all card in 1st slot  bank A for 5 or more min.
To save time, you can test 4 boards at the same time by filling slot 1 of each bank. Let them run for 15 minutes.
Write down the GH/s and the number of the board.
Then fill all your banks, putting the highest hashing boards first in each bank. So top board goes to B1-1, second fastest to B2-1, ...
Then let the unit run for 30 minutes and verify the GH/s for each board.
Does it match with what you wrote down earlier ?
The boards in slot 1 of each bank should, the others might not.
Move non-matching boards: the lowest hashing board to the highest slot number of its bank. (Update: a bit cryptic to read, so an example: suppose you have board 1 doing 32GH/s, board 2 20GH/s and board 3 28GH/s in one bank. Then you swap board 2 and 3).
You'll have to experiment a bit with this.
If you have 2 or even 3 low hashing boards in one bank, swap the board at lowest position with the best hashing board at position 4 in one of the other banks.

Now let the kit run for a day and check again.
With 12 good boards, you should be able to reach 300GH/s for sure and most likely 400GH/s.

Next, insert best card to 1 slot in each bank. Board with the worst performance in the last slots.
Wasn't this done right before shipping the unit? The cards have A1, A2, etc. written on them.
Furthermore, I received mixed revisions, i.e. cards with and without caps. The cards with caps are always in the 4th slot of each bus. Is it safe to move them to the 1st/2nd/3rd slot or will they (or the capacitors on them...) blow up?

they wont blow up but most accounts indicate that they work best at the last slot of each bank.

how are you ooling the unit? heatsinks or at least strong airflow is needed for 16 cards. it looks like your chips are making errors then switching off. this is typically related to heat

From my experience I did not see problem moving card with caps.

I add caps to my board (for test). But I use X5R instead cheap Y5V

punin i ordered an M-board on Oct 29 but still processing aren't you shipping them yet?
Should be on it's way. What's your order #? Maybe I just forgot to mark it as completed.



#1143
Shipped today

Thanks
