Well, so I just sent an email to bitmain asking for a tracking number and they answered me that they wont give me a tracking number until 12-13 of April Sad

That is because they are late or because they need time to process the tracking numbers as usual ?

Processing. They'll ship everything out on the 10th and 11th, update all the trackings while they're in transit for delivery on Monday. <--- guess based off history.

sounds about right. (Im a little dissapointed they are shipping on a thursday for that reason. Shipping on the 8th or even the 9th would have almost certainly resulted in delivery BEFORE the weekend)

So would shipping it on the 3rd February 2008? The batch isn't due to ship on the 10th, so its shipped on the 10th.

Just copy the file locally, edit it then upload it back overwriting the old. WINSCP is a great gui program to SSH into your miner and manipulate the file system.

Thanks Mr Teal.....

I believe that is exactly the mistake we were making.....

Actually we did edit the .config file......and saved but no reboot it went back to factory.

Did you use this method and it worked for you Mr Teal?

Thanks

is there any evidence of B2 having shipped already?

+1

I e-mailed bitmain today about the shipment and shipping date, wanted to know when they will start shipping for batch 2, but unfortunately I didn't get any answer, still waiting. From tomorrow i am gonna email them a lot, until I get an answer, it is a good reliable company but their communication with customer is horrible and it should be addressed and improved.

Secretely hoping to get my miners on friday or monday. Undecided

I emailed Bitmain last night (about 12 hours ago) asking to change the shipping address and see if it could mail out ASAP since I will be away all next week.
and received a response roughly 8 hours ago that they would be shipping them 'tomorrow' (and also to confirm that they will change the shipping address)

Looks like they will ship ON the 10th, not before it. slightly dissapointed by that, but in no way is it the end of the world. It just means I have to get everything in place (power cord, LAN cable, clear instructions for setup and pool info) so that I can have someone else do the setup for me.

If noone is doing proper overclocking by the 21st - I will be pulling out the boards one-by-one to pencil mod them, throwing in an extra 800W supply, and seeing what can be done to improve the airflow (small chip-seated heatsinks that are a tedius process to apply, or more fans?)

I am willing to try some OC but I cant even get a clock change to stick ....it reverts back to stock on reboot. Any suggestions?

Thanks

You need to edit asic-freq.config, not asic-freq

I havent had a chance to play with one yet, but it was mentioned somewhere in another thread that some files seem to be reverted to default at reboot while others did not

You call it compensation, I call it you just got played!

It's actually called "you got what you PAID!". Customers paid for a 3TH with Q2 as delivery deadline and they will get what they paid for in June. It doesn't cross the deadline so i don't see the problem. As for scammers i don't see who or how they scammed people, but yeah this forum needs more tard shill accounts!

Do you really want to waste time feeding a troll?

I mean just read his damn post :

Call it what you will… But the shenanigans that are going on in the hardware world are down right criminal .. The vendors are using the customer product in their data centers up until the point where the product is at end of life cycle and then passing it on to the customer with little to no chance for ROE … You can say what you want, but we all know its happening ..

No doubt, if I bought a new car I would expect it to have 0 miles on it, not tested at the track extensively before purchase. This is done during the development phase.

As much as i love Bitmain, unfortuneately the lure of mining with your customers rigs before releasing them is fast becoming an industry standard....ive got a Batch 2 that i dont expect to ROI, but i still think Bitmain are definately one of the best manufacturer's out in the market today. They are reliable and deliver.

Why would you do this? They said Batch 2 will ship on the 10th which means it will ship tomorrow. Batch 1 was to ship on the 1st and it shipped on the 1st and I had it on the 3rd (US)--most on here seemed to get it 2 days later. I can only imagine the number of people emailing them and asking this question, if they answered all of you--they wouldn't have time to get their systems ready.

A lack of constant communication doesn't equate to bad customer service. If they failed to ship on time and failed to respond to actual problems, that would be bad customer service. So far, they are doing neither. Everything I've ordered from Bitmain directly or 112bit has shipped when they said it would (2 days for my S1s and 4/1 for my S2). It's awesome that they sometimes ship early but you can't expect that every time, just appreciate it when they do.

Don't go email crazy--all you will do is prevent them from getting to real issues because they will have to sort through all of yours. If I was in their position and that happened, I would probably block your email temporarily due to spam. You won't get your system any faster, anyway. They haven't just forgotten about you. Wink

sorry for out off topic.
any other 1 TH/s miner that ready for order today ?
anyone heard about avalon or dragonminer 1 TH/s ?
where can i buy that ?

I feel bitmain one is better quality if you can wait but if you want ready 1 th/s dragonminer is not bad choice (since there is no other choice) to order go lketc.com and skype that girl. Or you can buy 5 antminer s1 overclock to 200 if eletricity not concern you.

You could try opening the box and running it with a large room fan blowing on it instead of the case fans. Some chance that will work, but YMMV. I was able to do that with a bunch of ASICMiner blades back in the day. It was still somewhat loud.

Don't do this! I can already tell by the way things work now that it would not be effective, you need fans blowing through the blades. The one nearest the power supply runs several degrees hotter because of less airflow, already.

I don't know what CMFs the fans currently in the case are moving so I don't know if these are an option but Silenx makes some pretty awesome fans, really quiet. They do a great job at getting the heat out of my PC, but I'm kinda doubtful that they would keep up with the heat in the S2, possibly. I know they have one that does around 90CFM for less than 20 dBA (I think 16 or 18). I am sure there are other options... find out how much air these fans move and then go from there.
