Glow Stick Dance!
It's really great to see that things are rapidly progressing with so few problems!

Any chance October's orders will go out a week or two early since things are going so smooth?

Doesn't hurt to ask.   Grin

also, what's the best option if not plugging in the ethernet into router directly?

  you can try to use something like this for Ras. pi http://www.creatroninc.com/index.php/raspberry-pi/accessories-for-raspberry-pi/raspi-081400.html


Is there a reason not to use a cat5e cable? or is this just your preference.

People express their preference but not any actual, technical reasons of why not, which is what you are asking. I'd definitely do wireless since I know people that have mined wirelessly without any issues. It's not a bandwidth-intensive task at all.

Actually, i was just checking to make sure that there wasn't a technical issue that i missed.

  For me I will use wire better than wireless and wireless not very good for miner.

Hi Dave,

Since delivery is imminent, is it possible that prior to shipping you can point us to some instructions on the miner software and installation process for whatever m-board versions you'll be shipping out?
 I'd love to start learning how to set up the miner using p2ppool or something else prior to receiving my kit.
Otherwise, in the absence of any official information, some rumors and potentially misguided instructions are currently floating around on how to set up the kits.

Thanks

Hi Dave,
What will be the process for getting ahold of the V2 m-boards?

That's for the version-2 m-boards.  Since Dave is going to be shipping the version-1 boards, the h-boards need to be inserted starting at the beginning with no gaps between them....
Thanks for pointing this out, removed my post.

Yep. I'll have a version of this instruction for our V1 M-boards.  I have the power adapters in hand, so no worries there.

So far my main points will be:

-use two PCI-e cables (not both plugs on the same PCI-e cable).
-don't hotplug the H-boards
-don't put the H-boards in backwards - the edge connector is universal.  If you plug in the H-board with chips facing away from the rPi end, say goodbye to that board.  I plan to indicate this requirement in a few different ways (labels, etc)
-these M-boards have a single control bus.  Cards need to be loaded in each slot with no gaps (until someone designs a dummy plug anyway)

According to FedEx boards come tomorrow morning, with more Friday.  Fab says all boards ordered will be done and shipped Monday - we'll see about that.

I anticipate going dark on you for a few days while we all focus on assembling, testing and shipping rigs.  I'll pop on with some kind of status & pics as time allows so you know whats going on!

BitFury has a large team of engineers all working to deploy boards.  There's is a different board design from ours.  Different production line, etc.  That group is doing pretty well bringing up their hashpower, which you can see at ghash.io.

Our boards have just begun to ship from the factory in China, and we will turn them around to August delivery customers as soon as we can.  I've just grabbed three more tech savvy people to help me with testing/rating the boards, so that we can get them in the shipping line quicker.

Dave


I see. So bitfurystrikesback.com/megabigpower.com bought chips from https://metabank.ru/asic and created your own board, right?

Not quite. AFAIK Bitfury is designer, and he sold some chips to metabank on the beginning of development process. Dave and Niko are not affiliated with metabank.

Interesting theirs is running at 21.996Gh/s
If that's the case then Dave would definitely have to ship a 2nd board with each 25Gh kit? or nearly 3 extra boards with Full Kit.

very well indeed - they surpass the AM hashrate
out of curiosity why are you/punin and official bitfury team using different board designs?
