Well luckily I am not in a rush yet...someone I have traded with is giving me the controller I need. I will let you know if I hear back from Canary and what he says.
Thanks

Cool. I gotta bad board I am gonna have to send back. So I feel your pain.

So far RMA do we go to Canary or AM?
Good question, hope you have better luck than I am having.
PM Canary. He got back to me after a couple of days. Dude has been crazy busy and is probably taking a few days off, it is the weekend and a holiday tomorrow.
We exchanged emails and he pointed me to phasebird or FC and neither have responded.

The provided gui in the ethernet allows one choice with no rollover. So if I have it running at ghash and ghash goes down it does not rollover.
I pointed my s-3 at ghash I pointed my tube at ghash. I am doing 1.25th If ghash crashes I lose .8th until I manually switch it. but my s-3 switches. Everyone that purchsed this should ask friedcat to provide a better gui in the controller.

If you are using the cgminer or bfgminer as a proxy, they can be setup to roll over. even split mine (must be same coin) between two pools.
I wonder if it would be possible to adapt an S1 controller board to run the tube boards. That would be nice.
well it is a different company so who knows.At Canary friedcat is offering coupons. So what is 1 unit price after the coupon. Since I purchased 1 unit from you I should be able to get a .05 btc coupon
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8608924
So if I want one do I send you 0.99 btc? plus a label?
Even with the restricted controller I do like this gear. A second unit allows me a second controller I am hopeful someone will figure a way to program a better gui into a controller.

When I tested I did so against east2, it had a quick ping return time.
I like the miner I like the ethernet controller. The firmware needs improvement quite a bit. I can't directly say enough bad about the 1 pool only choice in the gui . seems you can pick slush or mmpool.org or ghash but only those three and only one of them at that.
I have been sending pm's and posting to ask for a real choice in the gui and a rollover choice like many other programs and gear offer.
I now have alerts on my ghash pool and I find that to be a step back on Friedcat's part.
Shame as I wanted two or three of these not happening now as I have a lot of real world issues to deal with for the next few months. I need set it and forget it options. This gear does not offer that. I know buying a rasp-pi and setting up a proxy with 2 or 3 pools is an option but I do not want that. I wanted a controller with a decent gui. oh well. What truly frustrates me is none of this is Canary's fault it is friedcat's as he had the software-firmware put into the controller. Now we need to deal with it.
Well it does hash nicely on ghash for now. Setup was easy and it is small. I use 850 watts for 790gh
An ethernet box with a good gui would be very nice. Hopefully it happens
(please Friedcat you can do it!)
Precisely, I had enough of that with the lemon cube. I would have to constantly check if it was hashing. (BTC Miner App on iPhone)
When ever I was not handy it would drop, so zero hash until I got back to reset it or got one of the kids to "power" it off and on.
Then it started needing to be off at least 30 seconds, then it would take 2 or 3 cycles to get it going. Then it died 3 months later.
Got the S1, what a relief, it just hashed without all the BS needed to keep the cube going.
Yeah but your issue was the cube itself. I had about a dozen rockminers they worked on a doctored cgminer with a onepool option. "sound familiar"
They were very stable. This gear seems to be stable but once again a one pool option no auto rollover. Wrong and on the cat not the canary
You have four boards, daisy chained to a controller that needs a proxy. Too many things to go wrong.
The firmware needs fixed to at least remove the proxy.
The mechanical construction is solid> I have no fears of mechanical failure in fact I think it is better made then an s-1 and at least as well made as the s-3.
The ethernet controller is well made allows for 5, 6 and even 12 volts to power it. The heat sinks are really good quality. Breaking this gear is not going to happen. even the boards
daisy-chaining are not a big deal.

Well after overnight running on ghash I tried to do bitcoinaffiliatenetwork as suggested it did not run. It may be that I picked a bad server as that pool has about 7 to choose from. I am back at ghash. I would like to think that btcguild or a few other pools will do a fix for this. By fix I mean that I can simply use the controller.
Impressions this is a nice design small unit. Sidehack I could see 2 of these in a custom case with a hp2000 psu. Two options 120 volt with a slight down clock to freq 250 and 240 volt with the 270 ,280,290 options. The case could have 4 fans at a little less speed to cut down the noise. My biggest complaint is the software. It really should allow for 2 or 3 pools with a rollover option. Right now if ghash goes down I got nothing. And even if many pools could just work there is no switchover like the s-1 or s-3. Bad friedcat naughty kitty. All in all I like the gear hoping for a decent firmware fix for the 2 complaints.
BTW this gear likes the 260 setting a lot.
I am using the us1 ghash server and a different worker on ghash.

I know it is a controversial pool but it works on mining.bitcoinaffiliatenetwork.com pool also without proxy.
