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

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...
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.

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

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

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

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!

Nothing beats a 1200axi.

Looks neat... but for what?  Only 100a on the 12v line.  Most people here aren't going to be plugging into a USB header to get output.  And expensive!!
Rosewill 1300 is $100 cheaper, 108a on the 12v line (so can drive 3xS1 OCd), and is also "up to 92% efficient" despite being gold and not platinum.

M

Its the intangibles that make the 1200 unbeatable, see my sig for a breakdown. Its also comfortably 110a 24/7 due to how Corsair rates it. 23dba fan at full load, 93% eff at full load, 7 year warranty.

I've looked at your PSU guide before, thanks.  I've had bad experiences with Corsair.

Manufactuer specs:
Corsair ax1200i
Rosewill 1300

The specs for this 1200 says "80 PLUS Platinum certified, delivering up to 92% energy efficiency under real-world load conditions".  The Rosewill 1300 says  "> 87%, Up to 92%".  

Corsair provides an efficiency graph, which show ~93% with 220v at 100% load.  For most US folks, we use 115, which works out to 90% at full load.  
Rosewill doesn't give a graph.  However knowing how higher voltage leads to more efficiency, I would imagine the Rosewill would do better at 220v as well.

Both are 7 year warranties.
Corsair clearly states 100.4A on the 12v rail.  Rosewill clearly states 108A on the 12v rail.  If I ran the 1200 at 110A and it blew, what would I tell Corsair?  Doggie said I could? Smiley

The Corsair has a 120mm fan.
The Rosewill has a 140mm fan.

Please, I'm curious, can you point out what's so much better about the $100 more expensive Corsair?

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

When I apply this firmware upgrade, do I just upload the .TAR file to the S2 or do I have to unzip the TAR file first?

I am an avid stock and option trader and to be honest BTC appears to be completing an ABCDE pattern of a bull flag granted a very large one.

So I am optimistic we break higher here soon....but I can only say the odds are greater than 50% based on experience ....its actually just over 60% but obviously that does not guarantee anything.

Any new firmware out for the S2 to fix the stats issues?

Thanks

Shenzhen, China    04/13/2014    12:55 A.M.    Departure Scan

While I can appreciate the amount of shipping Bitmain does, pulling the old print the label 2 days in advance so you appear to "make" a timeline is a bit cheesy nutz IMO. My order said shipping out BEFORE April 10th, the late departure insured the weekend would come into play so 4 day delay or 0.32BTC lost @ $450 = $144 lost revenue or 4% of ROI. Lucky for Bitmain they are the only ones delivering from stock. Hope to see a coupon for the next round of S2's...

Shipped. UPS showing Tuesday delivery.


I guess we can expect a diff increase estimated come tue and wed

Sorry gang but the downtrend in BTC is not over for now.....we need to get above $450 and hold to start a new uptrend IMO.

So watch for fire sales if you are believer...me I am selling my ants on ebay while they still have value

Not saying it wont be worth something someday but for now....it cottage craft for fun....even at free elec its cheaper to buy the BTC now and forget the trouble shooting

Bitmain.....the S2 is okay....I am sure they will dial it in ....yes the drivers has some weakness and the build was not what everyone expected but its not that bad.....just too expensive for the value...is all.
