Yes definitely Luck. My Batch 8 using the same 220V IBM 2KW won't change in hash rate by moving to 775 or 800M. Have to increase the voltage to see some gain like what Phillip did.

Batch 8 / DPS-2000BB efficiency measurements teaser shot:

Waiting on a 500A shunt to finish the DC draw measurements but I hope to get the WallJ/TH numbers up soon.

I will say this particular Batch 8 hits 5TH/s with no drama. And... it keeps the DPS-2000BB cool w/ exhaust at the same time Cheesy

Nice! Looking forward to your results. How are you getting 5TH? Mine won't overclock for shit, in fact they can't even reach advertised speed. Have you found a way to increase voltage delivered to the chips on B8?

So far all I've done is increase the clockspeed through the web interface! I haven't looked at chip/chain level voltage at all, even to measure it. Luck?

Did four orders for s-7's today.

It would have been nice to get a coupon or compensation for my poorly made batch 1.

So far I have no compensation for my batch one or batch two machines.

But they have the best gear.

total 12.416 btc.

I figure they owe me just about .4 or. 5 btc from batches one and two.

And they figure they owe you and everyone else shit all. What a fucking horrible shitty company they are. If any normal business acted like bitmain does, they'd be bankrupt with the quickness. Luckily for bitmain, they have a (hopefully temporary) monopoly for the home miner's market, and they make money printing machines so they don't actually need customers. We're just there to reduce the risk they take in developing hardware. All they're good at is making decent hardware and shipping. Everything else is a complete shit show.

I've always updated my antminers with Firefox. No need for Chrome. I guarantee he's getting an error because he's trying to extract the file instead of just flashing it as downloaded.

I don't suggest updating the miners, though. Just set a manual fan speed with whatever firmware you miner shipped with.

What manual speed do you use?
What is a safe rpm to use?

depends on room temp and clocks

3480 at 45%
3720 at 50%
3840 at 55%
3980 at 60%
4120 at 65% all of the above could be okay

I do 3980 at 60%

Philip's right as usual. Just look at your temps. You want to shoot for 60-70c after 10 minutes. If it's under that, set the fan speed to less and try again.

The s7 needs the full zip file as is to upgrade.

yeah, use Chrome, someone reported errors with Firefox before.

Thanks, could not remember the issue.

It's been said before but it's worth repeating: Using Chrome allows Google (And the federal gov't) to know you're into Bitcoin and possibly own a miner. Chrome isn't for the guy trying to keep his private data private. Decide your expected level of privacy and proceed as desired.

Personally I've never had a problem with FF and zip files.

"Do No Evil" is the old motto. The new one is "If we have it, it's for sale to anyonel".

My miners arrived, and got stuck at the customs Sad

. They are asking for the invoice (proof of payment) but i still havent heard from Bitmain. I opened a ticket on Friday. I called in USA support, talked about 10min and no help from that guy!!! What should i do guys?

You should have received an email with proof of payment that shows bitcoin converted into USD shortly after you purchased them. Simply print it and show it to them.

EDIT: I have noticed my most recent invoice from BITMAIN only shows BTC for payment and no USD conversion. Maybe the BTC will be sufficient.

I cant give them the BTC invoice, they need the dollar invoice. Fuuuu im screwed

I wouldn't suggest submitting any fraudulent documents - I'd just try again with the bitcoin invoice and maybe something to show the exchange rate from the day of purchase. I'd be surprised if customers required a USD invoice given that most things purchased from outside the United States aren't priced in USD. They should be able to convert it to USD, whether its Euros, Yen, frogskins, or bitcoin.

Seems like Bitmain does update the pricing properly between USD and BTC. It's about $100 off. I contacted supported about it and they said fixed. I said nope, not yet. He said wait, takes time. haha.... It's been 3 days, same issue. I hope their tech support is better than their website / sales support.

This...

I'm waiting for this before doing a big purchase...! Don't know if it'll happen...

You can order direct from Yoshi in Denver with wire or BTC.
Then he takes care of all the shipping issues from China and you get yours shipped from Denver.

Top 3 were the first release of firmware on the website for the 162 Chip Systems. The 550MHz people were informed that they were getting a slower default frequency, it was not what they ordered.

Bottom 6 were the second release for the 162 Chip Systems and the first to the 135 Chip Systems.

Unfortunately nothing has been said about any changes in the firmware relative to the original release....

Has anyone been able to update their batch 7 with the above firmware for 625 machines? I keep getting an error when trying to use the file to upgrade my batch 7. Just wondering if anyone else has had any luck?

So....how hard is it to remove a hash board from this bad boy? I have an RMA with bitmain and I need to remove one of the boards to ship to China to have it looked at. At least the other two boards are hashing me around 3 TB so I'm not dead in the water. Doesn't look like the heat sinks are having issues since it was fine for about 24 hours when I initially plugged it in and then the board just stopped hashing completely. But I'll know more when I pull it out.

Easy, even i could do it. Wink

here's a quote from Bitmain: "disassemble the rear fan of the miner and take out the hash boards."

2015-12-11 firmware differences:

-fan pwm increase at the idle, boot and reset. even you set manual %40.
-only see 3 hash boards (cant make twins or triple)

They could care less what the invoice looks like. Make your own invoice, slap the Bitmain logo on it and print it. Obviously throw a little common sense in the mix. Send them all back to CHINA!

Just take the Bitmain invoice and translate the BTC value by adding an USD value next to them, and give them the exchange rate somewhere on the page. But i don't think this is something you can do at the door. At least it is not over here. You have to fill forms and crap and request a re-evaluation and ask for a refund. Heh.

That probably would work. All they care about is that the tax man gets his money. Everything else is trivial.
