Haha, agreed--I am not.  Just a satisfied customer right now.  Issues always come up with this sort of thing, it's just the nature of the business.  It's how they are dealt with.  I got the wrong tracking number, emailed and got the right one right away.  I got a problematic device and I'm getting support.  I won't lie, I was a little concerned with my first S1 because communication was slow/limited but I got it in a reasonable amount of time even though I didn't get a tracking number right away.  Stuff happens.

I have to say innoman is not a member of my family. LOL

We are all doing our best, thanks for your comments

Juan

Hopefully Juan can get you squared away--he's definitely been trying to work things out for me.  I have it working alright, for now.  I am familiar with your issue, did you update to the latest firmware?  I would suggest trying the original power supply with the updated firmware () and letting it run.  If it fails (stops mining and starts beeping), go to miner settings in the WebUI and click Save&Apply in the bottom right.  Hopefully it will run from there but if not, try clicking Save&Apply again.  Don't use reboot or try power cycling, that doesn't seem to be as effective.  

With any luck, it will go until the next power cycle.  Which PSU are you trying to use, btw?  I want to look at the specs and see how they compare to the original.  I noticed a lot of 1300w PSU's are barely, if any, more capable than the one they shipped (based on advertised numbers, of course).  

Thanks buddy I will add some light and try again in the AM

I had a working unit before I attempted a new power supply....

But it didnt always come up and has on power restart.  A couple restarts it would.....so I guessed a PSU issue.

Went larger 1200 Thermaltake....and noticed the ribbon cable had nicks....was not sure that could cause intermitent issue or not.

I hate to box the whole think up and send it back....I mean none of us are stupid....just challenged.....lmao

I will reach out to Juan this time I was smart and bought through US dist just in case

This thread is getting really difficult to follow...  What is going on and on about Bitmain shipping a little late going to fix?  Your box got shipped late, you're really mad, you think Bitmain is really crooked, the world is coming to an end because no other vendor on the planet ever ships late.... We got it!  Bitmain isn't Amazon (about the only company I deal with who always seems to meet their ship/delivery dates, almost) and it sucks you lost a couple of days--maybe they'll hook you up with a coupon or something later.  MOVE ON!  What's done is done. We feel your pain, we get your frustration but OMG INBD!!! :-) Maybe we can start a totally separate thread for shipping frustration regarding the S2?

On a more important note, has anyone accomplished any acceptable overclocking?  As in, better than 25-30GH/s over stock?  I'm currently getting right at 1TH/s and not much over, I think some are getting closer to 1060GH/s stock?  I think a steady 150-200GH/s would be necessary to justify an upgraded PSU.

I'm also curious on how Bitmain has handled the totally un-workable units?  Like the ones that arrived damaged beyond customer repair.  As of now 112bit (Juan G.) is working on getting an issue with mine resolved (potential PSU issue) and so far, Bitmain seems to want me to send mine in for troubleshooting and repair--they've suggested compensating me for the days of lost mining in BTC but I don't know how much.


I've read here that several have been able to mine without issue with no display.  Have you been able to access the WebUI at all?  I suggest removing all cards/blades and cleaning the connectors (one of mine had a bunch of thermal paste) really well and then reseating all of them.

LCD ribbon cable...Where does one get such a ribbon cable.

I dont have all the old supplies I used to.

Thanks

Yes I know Bitmain will send me one but that takes too long

Okay I figured out the interm startup I believe the blades on shipping getting bounced around on start up hoarked the LCD displace ribbon cable.

Should it run without the display?

I found the little slices on the cable when I went to put in a larger power supply.

Any help would be appreciated......I have never played with an BBB or a pi.

Thanks

Seriously?  Two days late and you're calling him crooked?  There isn't an industry that I know of where things don't turn up late, even from huge multi-national corporations.  I've never considered them crooks and liars for a missed delivery, (plenty of other reasons, but not that).

You're obviously from a different planet than I am.

Agreed.  Can't fault you on that logic.  But a lie is meant to deceive, and unless Bitmain knew that he was going to ship two days late then it's a broken promise at best, if that's what you want to call it.

You lot are a hard crowd to please. 

Just knowing there are ppl like you who try an justify/explain dishonesty for crooked merchants, makes life great!

Must be awesome to be that dense, do you draw in others with your immense gravitational pull?

Answered my own question by even acknowledging you...

everyone in B2 shipped later than promised. "before april 10" means that shipping on april 12 is 2 (if not 3) days late

Or maybe it was an estimation?

Maybe language issues confused the issue and Bitmain really meant shipping was to start BY the 10th?

Maybe the batch was too large to get all orders out on the 10th?

Maybe he just doesn't like you?

I for one would not call it a lie, and neither would I have taken it as a promise or a guarantee.

Must suck to be you.

Its representing hashes, not money 600TH leaving the nursery for their new homes around the world.

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too soon, but thanks for the consideration.

Its always nice to know someones thinking about ya!

Hope you enjoy the extra few BTCrumbs, Bit你一塊狗屎main!

Shipping BEFORE 10th was a lie and we all know it.

Lucky for you, your fangirls didnt allow too much 'beef' to sour your name & thread.

I hope the issues with B1 have been rectified in B2 & not merely pre-mined for a change!

LOL no way, you can buy 1TH miners from stock and have been able to all the time you were waiting for S2's to ship.

I liked the post but they homie needs to be passing out quarters instead of dolrs

And what exactly is wrong with that post?

It'll increase your loss by $100 ?
(oh wait that's not better )
