What HW error percentage do people think is reasonable?

F-d by UPS.
changed the delivery to UPS store and they pushed the delivery to Monday.
I called in and they said that changing to local store changes delivery by one business day.
Is this for real or what? anybody else had the same experience?
bummer...

Did you call or do it on the website using My Choice? On the website it's quite clear that it changes the day as they force you to agree to that when making the change.. If you called it's frustrating if they didn't tell you..
thanks.
basically, i did not want to waste part of the day waiting for it.
AFTER i made the change (maybe i did not notice the stuff re date as it was not explicit in any way) for the WHOLE day the web site said delivery estimate-FRIDAY, then I called and they were feeding me the same line ("Customer service says that it will be delivered today").
If the first person firmly said that it will be delivered on monday and if you want it today, we can arrange it to go to the hub, then i would be fine with it.
Bottom line, i am out of maybe 0.1 BTC, no biggie, it just felt unfair, but I'm over it already.

Shipping Wise, you may want to try out each carrier and find out which one works the best for you.
UPS definitely does great job on most part but depends on the area, it may not be the perfect option.
Some area, DHL does super great and some area FedEx can do better than others and EMS works on some over any other carriers.
Even tho UPS can do good job, they did this as well... so its all depends on your country, area, drivers and etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvAak4MAnqk
Changing the delivery date, or delivery destination can work for you but often time cause 1 extra business day of delay or more or mis-hap with the packages. (if you plan it well, it works great, too or in an emergency, it can work well, but please be careful of making any change request)

My local UPS if they skip you or for some reason you miss it you can go to the local distribution hub and pick it up if the truck is back and they are open. You might go there in person.
I've had better luck showing up saying I missed package then if I called ahead. They can look up what truck it's on so it takes 5-10 minutes. But all depends on if you have a nice person at front desk. Some are much easier to work with then others.
well, usually this is the case when they missed you, but i myself moved it to ups store.

When I stand behind the 42u rack with 12 s7's in it it feels like a furnace. Four 30 amp circuits, 3 s7's per circuit, datacenter only allows 21.6 amps to be used for each circuit.
hmmm.... 3s7's are only about 16 amps.
4 is less then 22amps
at 80% is 24 amps.. find another datacenter
$1000 per rack all inclusive 2 miles from my house. I think I'll stay.
Only $750 after tax deduction.
mine are 220, hence the discrepancy. how many 30 amp circuits will they allow you to use on one rack?
Have the space for another six but for me heat seems a bit intense for one rack.
They would probably charge more per month. Haven't popped the question.
It is a tier 4 datacenter, I don't use the power redundancy, I use both circuits on a whip to run different miners, not one main circuit and one backup.
The amperage threw me off when I went from 240v at home to the datacenter 208v.
I started out with two circuits and it turned out that I didn't have enough amps to run all
the miners I brought from home so I had to have another whip pulled.

Ok, for some reason I can't flash my miner. I browse to the file, attempt to flash it, wait for it, the screen times out, then I refresh and get this error:
System Upgrade Failed
tar: invalid magic tar: short read
So something just ain't right with it.
I'm using the SD-S7-20151023-600M.tar file downloaded directly from bitmaintech's support site. Anyone else having this issue?

i would just delete the file, then re-download (don't untar!) and try again.
the file was good before
Weird, still not working, I dl'd it again, left it as the .tar.gz file and tried the upgrade. Again, connection gets reset after about 10-15 seconds, I try to refresh and get the same error.
what connection? your computer/laptop to miner?
maybe leave it alone and do something with laptop:on a mac i would say repair permissions, but on windows? is there some kind of desktop or C drive repair program?
It's from my PC over the network to the miner. I'm going to go out on a limb and highly doubt it's a permissions thing when other people do not have a problem whatsoever transferring it over and installing it.
Argh!
Ok guys, thanks for the assist, but I figured it out. Rule #1, use IE to install the flash upgrade, not Firefox...I didn't think of that earlier, but damn you Firefox!
I use chrome, seems to work well.
Good to know Firefox does not.

Are you targeting the .tar or the image file inside? Just to be sure; you need to target the .tar file, still compressed. When i uncompressed the .tar is the only time i saw that error. If not redownload the .tar, it could be incomplete archive.
You could try to uncompress it just to see if its valid, though.

LOL! The problem with that .gif .... he'd be sweating his nards off in the hot airflow ..... need to mount the S7 rack to a wind surfing board and have a dude in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt riding the bitcoin wave.... lol

Yea, nothing more fun than making the HVAC guy deaf while he's working on the furnace!
Why do you need a furnace? You have miners for heat.
36 degrees F. outside last night with 2 windows open to allow fresh air in ( I have 5 farting dogs ... kinda need fresh air ).... with the miners running, it was a nice 79 degrees F. in the house.
Yea that's a good point, I have to see if I have a return duct in my basement so I can push that air through the house.
I extended a return duct so that its over my mining rack. Heat rises so not only is the basement nice and warm ( warm hardwood floors ) but the warm air gets sucked up by the return duct.
Right now I just flip the furnace fan on and off depending on if the upstairs is warn or cold, but soon, I'll be getting a thermostat that has a RECIRCULATE function. That thermostat then will turn on the furnace fan for 5-20 minutes every hour to move some air, equalize the temperature in the rooms, and if you have a fresh air intake on the furnace, it'll inject some fresh air in the house ( plus operate whole house humidifier, the UV-C air sterilizer and electronic ~ozone~ air filter)... if heat was not called for by the thermostat within the last hour.
The more upper end thermostats ($100+) that you find at the big box stores usually have the recirculate feature... or you can look for a Braeburn 5000 thermostat on Amazon... usually around $65-$70 ... its a "commercial" grade thermostat, not really found in the retail market but its a nice thermostat that actually can be powered by the furnace itself... no mo batteries and has a lot of nifty automatic stuffz.... and no wifi that can be hacked.
