Yikes! Never saw that mounting orientation of the rPi on the US m-boards coming.
Going to have to use a cable with that board.

I got a bad h-card, so it took a while to figure out why one of the rigs wasn't working properly. dave has already said he will send a replacement. another example of awesome support from this team.

Took about 10 minutes to warm up, after I figured out that you don't use http:// in front of the pool URL, it even started to mine....
I'm a little short on one card, and over on the other....

How long on your Bitfury admin page does it take for your hashrate to update? It is still at 0 GH/s, but chips are hot and the rPi states its mining...
One of my rigs needed several minutes to update to it's full hash rate.

Aww usps went to deliver but I was at work. Went to post office to pick up but truck did not get back yet. sigh... guess I won't be able to set it up tonight 
I would camp there until it arrived, and go to the desk every 20-30 minutes to ask "Is my package here yet?"

PSU ISSUE FIXED...now this...
We're putting it on a public IP, and after setting the parameters in /etc/networking/interfaces, we get no IP address showing up when doing an ifconfig. The address, netmask, and gateway are all correct in the file. Is there ANYTHING that we can look at to see why the networking service isn't configuring the interface?
Any ideas?
Hey guys - I just got word that we sent out your rPi's configured with a weird gateway IP. This is going to make it hard for your rigs to reach the outside world.
To fix this you'll need to connect direct to your rPi. Either use keyboard/monitor, or use ssh to connect to it 192.168.1.249 (unless you changed IP).
use arrow keys to get down to
change this to
type
reboot the rPi
Sorry for the trouble!

I have a tracking number for order 97.
order number 116 looks like it's still in 'paid' status. I think 116 is the last august regular order. There are probably a few august refund orders after it.

I'm in the 130s for an August order and am still sitting at paid.
I'm not sure how that's possible unless the order numbers aren't consecutive for some reason. My October order from 7/11 (paid on 7/11 as well) is 19x. Sure wish I had made the August order cutoff.

Mine shows as delivered!!!
Edit: Even while USPS showed delivery to another state... it was in fact delivered correctly.

Glad I ordered two starter kits.
One of the two M-boards doesn't work. No obvious solder bridges but lots of cold solder joints visible on the connector pins. No juice to the RasPi. The other M-board at least powers up the RasPi, so I'll use it.

Anything wrong with H-Cards marked with green sticker?
I thought the green and red stickers are for orientation purposes on the M Board.. IE green sticker towards green sticker on the M board. I had a red sticker on the back.
The Green sticker was on the side with the chips, the red sticker on the "bare" side of the H Board.

or pickup a $3 PSU tester... also dont't rely on colors rely on the pin out unless you want to find out what a cheap PSU looks like blown up... Remember you're messing with electricity when doing this and use common sense.
Have you come across a PSU that did not use green for the PSON signal? Would be good to know.
some cheapo's i've had were mis-colored, yes i hope you're using quality equipment but just a word of warning against assumptions on the color always being right.
