Who is this member in Customer Support and how do we contact them?

Why are you persisting promoting January orders when you have not even shipped October and November orders?

You talk of shipping December orders - AGAIN WHAT ABOUT OCTOBER & NOVEMBER ORDERS?

Several questions - so where are the answers...

Melb

Sorry too busy to answer each one of you
From today there is one member of the team dedicated to go trough customer support, hope it'll make things better.

In the product page it is written the shipment month.
@ the moment we are selling January shipment.
You can order 10 or 20.
We are not answering if you ask us for earlier delivery as far we have already late orders to finish.
All December orders will be shipped until end of December.

All orders are accepted only trough website.
We ship orders with transport cost paid.
If you ordered with packing only option you'll get an e-mail when your order is ready with address for pick up.
We ship first the orders that have paid transport.
Sending us more and more e-mails as kind for exact delivery date is only filling our inbox

in tp link, what is the hexA, B, C for? All have different values but is there a reason why?

Hey all

my Fault, The molex thing i was using came from the case :/ and when I built this PC I never wired in the case power.

We are now hashing on both boards

 HEXb 0: 540  840/ 840mV | OFF   / 0.000h/s | A:  0 R:  0 HW:0/0.00% WU:  0.0/m
 HEXb 1: 540  840/ 840mV | OFF   / 0.000h/s | A:  0 R:  0 HW:0/0.00% WU:  0.0/m
 HEXb 2: 540  840/ 847mV | 32.87G/27.24Gh/s | A:166 R: 64 HW:0/0.00% WU:387.2/m
 HEXb 3: 540  840/ 846mV | 42.42G/35.71Gh/s | A:228 R:104 HW:0/0.00% WU:503.9/m

Every time I start cgminer it does the above, does nto seem to be a problem but odd? Will let it settle for a while.

I tried that save and apply, same thing. I will go through the settings again. Something keeps stopping the cgminer proceess after about 2 minutes when i start it manually. Guessing there is an inbuilt check going on.

Update:: a few odd things with the TP link. firstly it is dissconnecting the USB every 30 seconds?

  105.520000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 6
[  105.860000] usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-platform
[  125.980000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 7
[  126.310000] usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-platform

And i have configured the cgminer settings in teh webpage to use hexb Yet it keeps trying to start it with --hexminerc-voltage instead of --hexminerb-voltage

Sat Dec 14 15:35:56 GMT 2013: cgminer exited status (1)
Sat Dec 14 15:35:56 GMT 2013: Sleeping for 10...
Sat Dec 14 15:36:06 GMT 2013: Starting cgminer
 [2013-12-14 15:36:06] /usr/bin/cgminer: --hexminerc-voltage: No values passed to hexminerc-voltage


------------- Victory!! ----------------

The reason why CGminer was not loading is that it expected teh default values of all a/b/c hex boards to be entered. I only entered HexB. I ended up changing /usr/bin/miner.sh and changing the param varaiable to only pass the Boptions over. win Win or if anyone else has the problem, just enter teh default values for all boards.

THANK YOU ALL

No problem dude 

Did the fan on? If not then no power to your boards.

Hi All, ---------------- Help Required ---------

I got my TP link router today, Flashed it with the Firmware from TechnoBit (0.1.0) configred everything as stated, SShed in to the thing, screen R and it is giving me a message about unable to to get the voltage settings (they are configured in the webpage) so i stop that process and start up CGminer normally and it detects the hardware but not hashing

What does it mean failure disabling? Is this indicating a hardware issue?  The miner is plugged directly in to the TP. Power by molex off a PC

I got a second miner I not opened, maybe I should try that one

Sidenote:Thank you Zich for posting on my behalf yesterday

Dude, your order is for December shipment, so i guess it will ship on last week of december if nothing bad happen.

Dude,

I used to think same way. But i have changed
1 Year+ not a single problem with tp-link if things are done right with proper software
Besides as long as it is cheap you can buy one for hotswap and you did not event need to run fsck anymore

I have about 20 Tplinks and for a year now not a single problem.

WHEN WILL MY PRODUCT SHIP???
http://i39.tinypic.com/jzy2va.png
So I can end this nightmare?
You are paid in FULL!

I cannot believe I just sent more money to a fool. I must be a fools fool.

I wasn't talking about performance, but about reliability. A PC should fail less often and e easier/faster to fix when it does fail.
Then again, I dislike throwing things away, so I would rather use the old PC than buy the router and later have to repair it if it breaks. Also, to use that PC I did not have to go to the store or order it and wait a few days for delivery.
 
I do not know how good/bad the flash memory inside the thing is, but I suspect that if it is used as designed (as a router), it does not write to the memory very often. OTOH, if you flash Linux to it and it happens to run out of RAM, it will swap and do lots of writes to the flash (or just start killing processes/crash if there is not enough memory available and swap is disabled) which could cause the flash memory to fail early. Also, if it gets corrupted, you can't boot from a CD and run fsck on it.

+1 The TP-Link (TL-MR3020) is the best option, lower power than laptop, less $ at risk, and very simple to flash with Technobit's firmware.

The Molex powered Hex16B I have leaks power back up the USB cable. It's really not worth the risk of plugging it into a laptop IMHO.

Also only use the cheapest USB hub, expensive ones with surge protection will refuse to work with it.

I choose TPLINK because it's cheap & the performace is good. I already use TL-WR841N for almost 3 years without problem.
Then i buy cheap TL-MR3020 for experiment with openwrt. The price is only 16.6 USD here  
Even if it's fail, it's not hurt to throw it to garbage. But damn, it's work very well even with 142 % memory usage. I almost forget how many times i already flash it it new image then reflash with old image.

I did had Pi for nanofury because i don't want my precious PC run 24 hour a day 365 day a year. If i can buy BBB here in my country i will choose BBB rather than Pi.

Later when marto already finish cgminer nanofury support then all my miner will hashing with TL-MR3020 

as i said up to 10 Boards on single tp-link work without performance lost
  Verified and tested

Or you could buy a raspberry Pi (though for some reason it gets lower hashrate with my BFL Single than even the 233MHz PC), or just use a PC you have for free.

The TP-Link uses unknown quality flash memory as its main storage - hat could fail due to writing (let's say I want to do monitoring or whatever or it just is writing logs) and there also would be a problem if the router failed to boot (let's say the file system got corrupted due to power failure). OTOH, the raspberry can be use with high quality memory and you can connect a keyboard/TV to it to access the console if you can't get to it over the network for any reason. An actual PC is even better as it uses a hard drive (or a high quality SSD) that would be more reliable than the flash memory inside a router. You can also get a PC very cheap or even free and maybe even downclock it to save power.

This is my opinion and the reason I use a PC for control. Then again - I have a Single and 3x HEX16B with total power consumption of about 500W, the 50W or so the PC uses is not much compared to the miners. If I had a single HEX16B (and no Single), I would probably just connect it to one of my other servers or use a Pi or even the router.

Hey,
Just buy a tplink from local store plug it and forget
200W electricity savings from laptop
And a good sleep at night

So I got it running.... then moved it back to shelf decide to reboot and now labtop is kaput

No worries I got an old dell p4 tower laying around.... kaput

Think someone has it out for me.

Will get it going tomorrow if it doesnt kill me

So you mine without power supplied to HEX16B  

Debian Package Management Tools

i forgot to cross the green wire on the power supply to send the power.... then i took me 30 min to find a paperclip...

thanks for all your help... hopefully my troubles will help others...

apt-get = aptitude?
