Bitmain - Every hour we're down we're losing money.  What is your ETA on getting us the new firmware???

Based on their previous record - about 7+ weeks........

Is that before or after the the 2 months of sending screenshots to convince them there is an issue?

Bitmain, you promised this 7 weeks ago....... Roll Eyes

Since then you have released two firmware releases both containing the older, security vulnerable cgminer versions.......as well as using it in these S4's.........

I have S2's that I can't get spares for, despite you having 100's of them hashing away in your premises. I was told to wait for the upgrade kits by you in an email, only to be told the very next day that you won't be doing them anymore, so instead you offer a $200 coupon that runs out in 4 days for a vastly overpriced miner that has untested firmware & the same security issues in it as all your other miners have......what on earth are you thinking?

Too many broken promises Bitmain, resulting in me having miners that are unusable due to lack of spares, and even the ones that are working aren't safe from exploitation. There is absolutely no way I will buy an S4 in it's current state at that price, meaning I've also lost the $200 dollar coupons you issued as a "we're sorry" gesture.

You seriously need to sort your business out - I'm completely sick & tired of hearing the same thing over & over again but nothing being done.

Your reputation is on the line here Bitmain, I suggest you start treating your customers like customers, not as some kind of never ending money supply!!


as if they fcking care  Roll Eyes. Vote with your money, but... another 100 idiots will replace your place.

Well, I'd rather have a buggy unit ASAP as opposed to having them test them and drive the difficulty up in the process before I get my miners. To be honest when it works it works very well. Happy to have it so quickly after ordering.

Well, I'm happy you're happy  Smiley

Myself, for that price, I'd prefer not to be treated like a guinea pig beta tester on a miner that might work on certain pools if I'm lucky while hoping my hash power is going where it's supposed to go...... Wink

Hindsight and all that jazz. Here's hoping by the time/if you decide to buy one you'll get a bug free miner.

Does anyone know of a safe way to mine right now???

Safest is p2pool, your own node. If you can find hardware that works with it...... Wink

3.12.0

As I feared. Your S4's are working fine - it's just that someone is stealing your hash....... Cheesy Cheesy

Bitmain fail.

Can this be prevented in any way in the mean time? Use of a proxy, or something? Why doesn't this happen with all pools?

Not that I'm aware of & it can.

I doubt that this is the problem, even though it is a very big one. The problem here is that Bitmain have shipped out units before fully testing the firmware, as they themselves stated. That's just wrong.

It will just keep getting worse until people stop buying overpriced, late equipment whose best hashes have already been thrown.  Since Bitmain announced the S4 the coin is down almost %25.  That's %25 less revenue from a device that was never going to break even with the coin at close to $500.  Today the cost of a B2 S4 is $1250 or 3.393BTC (which the way the coin is going could be even higher a few days from now).  You simply cannot mine 3.393BTC with this device.  Why on earth would you buy it?
