Possible bug in firmware. A critical one.

I had my pool drop out on me, they were having problems and I was disconnected, so the miner wasn't hashing. The fan slowed down to almost like 100-200 RPMs but the temperature kept rising. The fan NEEDS to keep running to keep the ASIC chips cools weather hashing or not it seems. Temps went up to 75-80 so I turned them off right away to let them cool. Bitmain, you need to review the firmware so that when the rig gets disconnected from the pool it doesn't disrupt the fan speed to keeping the chips cool. If I wasn't home and didn't hear the beeping sound I'm wondering how high that temperature could of went to. I actually felt the heat if I put my hand over the miner. It can't just be ambient temps, because these chips cool really quickly...so something else is going on here. If you want to try and test, pull your ethernet cable out and see if your fan stops or slows down and watch your temps closely.

Once I re-established a connection, everything looks good. Any ideas on this? We don't want burnt up miners, right?

You can configure it to shut off at 80 C but yeah it would be nice to have a control from the GUI.

We are very sorry for your inconvenience.

Staffs are working 24/7 to clear these stuck orders while under the heavy Ddos attack. The attack has nothing to do with the actual transactional data. Your order will be manually confirmed in order it was received, However, please be patient with us for a bit longer. We do expect this attack to last for a few more days.

It may show as Expired or Unpaid. If it is showing PAID on the blockchain.info you are GOOD TO GO!! Just shoot us an email to [email protected] with your ORDER ID & Payment Address and you will be contacted in the next few days. (Also it is a late night weekend in Beijing at the moment)

The miner shipping will start as schedule on March 30th or sooner.

Currently, the site is back up & running again just now! Cheesy

I am concerned that bitmain has my coin but havent responded with a confirmation that I paid (even though my payment shows it went in 5 minutes after I ordered it) - does this mean they are going to take my money and not give me the product I ordered?

I keep sending emails to [email protected] and they said they need engineers to fix the issue but they haven't said my order is confirmed

if you have proof of order number and the tx id you should be okay.
Bitmaintech is close to perfect on sending paid for gear to the buyer that paid for it.

It has been over a week for me and no update yet. Still shows that I have not paid. With their announcement that they are almost sold out of this batch, I am worried that they may sell more then they have with all of the missing details on orders. BITMAIN how much longer until records are updated? Thank you.

Same here, I placed another order yesterday and same thing is still happening.

Support has confirmed payment in email for my first order, but I'd feel better seeing it in my account page updated.

And mining bitcoins instead of whatever else pump-and-dump is much less likely to be profiting by ripping off n00bs. You know, if you have a conscience.

Bitmain need to develop into other algos besides SHA should of continued the adventure with your scrypt miners and then worked on newer algos. Wish prices where good for me on energy as I would be looking into the newer amtminers shame cost to equipment to energy used and shipping tax would never brake even. Does Bitmain have any other distributors across the world or it just subject to one site and no more resellers etc?

Why bother investing into something like Scrypt though? Often to more profitable shit coins are only good for a week at best then die off with a new algo. I did alright with Scrypt for several months, but the profits have dropped off a lot. Mining Bitcoin is still better when you find a good deal on gear.

Dogie, I read your setup page of the S5 and this is a quote from that setup guide:

"What temperatures should I aim for? - Try and achieve <50 for best hash rates, and <60 for long lifetimes. Temperatures should not
be let to rise above 80C."

This confuses me. Even the stock fan at pretty low ambient temps can't keep the S5 less than 50c. How would one even obtain <50c? Then I saw in another post you wrote that running the S5 24/7 at 65c is just fine and would be no problem. Can we get a confirmation from BitmainWarranty on the optimal running temps of the S5? There must be three temp sensors onboard, since CryptoGlance reports three different temp readings. I just want to make sure we all know the operating range of temps of this unit when so many have been reported.

Thanks!

The 50C is really more of a "if you can get to here, great", but I accept that its unrealistic for 90% of people. You get <50 by adding an S3 fan on the end. The optimal running temp is simply anything less than too hot, which is 75-80C. Add in a safety factor (on top of the 80C's one) and you hit 65-70.

There is no migration of the hash power. It is no different than having the hardware and hashing on your own. Electricity at Hashnest is $0.097/kwh, so it can be cheaper for many who lives at more expensive electricity cost area.

Hashnest hashing power is based on the hardware specific, so when the hardware you select is not good enough to mine, then it will be turned off. So it is not a lifetime contract.

So what happens if you buy x amount of hash on this and then it gets turned off and you are say 30% of what you put into it will your hash get migrated over to new hash as it comes out or is that hash and contract then lost? I am interested in buying however I want to make sure I understand everything first before buying and then finding I done something wrong. Want to make sure I know what is what and then can make right choices on buying etc.

March 30th batch has extremely limited quantity left that is why the Coupon Validity is only until March 25th. After this batch is sold out, the next available S5 be in June of 2015.

Quote from: skizzneena on March 19, 2015, 03:55:27 PM

Yeah I ordered last week too, at the higher price. They did however, send me a coupon (for S5, spend before 3.25.15 , lol). I'm not complaining, better to have a coupon than no coupon, but I kinda wish they had let us know what the deal was with coupons this time around (batch).

I'm hurt. Just checked my account and there's no coupons for me Sad

You can reinstate my February coupons and I'll use them
