Topic: [CLOSED] batch #39 0.25 btc per Blade, backplanes .15 - page 2. (Read 18712 times)

dang it, I knew I should have waited another week before purchasing hardware elsewhere. 

thanks!! packed and shipping.

Payment for 10 Blades on the way

blades are at .25.  limited supply remains.

they are

Are these still priced at .38?

Yes I do

Still have blades in stock?

Yes, the Blade is fine on the TP-Link 8 port switch.  Also, using the European to US adapter on the power supply perhaps the voltage isn't what it should be.  Happy with the Blade.  Now, is friedcat going to be selling anything new/novel in addition to Block Erupters?

You're welcome!  today's blades are shipping out...

Thanks for the great service on my first order, just sent another payment and label for one more blade.

I've heard 2 reports of network problems prior to this.  one was with belkin u-verse branded equipment, second was because the ports on the switch were set to 100MB and since blades are 10MB Eth, they would not work.  so it's possible that autosensing isn't working properly on your network switch/hub from the Orient or 10MB speed isn't supported.

Hi Canary, the replacement Blade has arrived.  It is one of the new versions, V2.001 I believe not having the replaceable fuse nor reset headers, in an unopened static proof envelop.

The Blade, although showing activity on the RJ45 port is not appearing on the network.  I've run nmap 192.168.1.* and have mapped every device on my local network including ports open.  It would seem like it might have been setup with some other network, e.g. 192.168.0.1 or something else.

I have reset the device by putting pins in the factory reset and ground (ground being the center pin between factory reset and reset) and an alligator clip across the pins and awakened the miner from off, left on for 30 seconds, turned off, removed the pins and replaced the cat5 cable, restarted, and still no report of its existence on 192.168.1.0.  I have tried http://192.168.1.254:8000 repeatedly without results.

I am supplying 11.9vdc to the Blade.

What do you suggest?

Okay, I have it on nmap now.  It is a brand new cat5 cable so I knew it wasn't that.  Two or three days ago two 8 port high speed switches arrived from the Orient.  They had wall warts for Europe but I'm using an adapter and it's working for a raspberry pi I use for stratum.  I just swapped the cable to an older 8 port TP-Link switch and now I see the Blade.  

Efficiency is coming up slowly but the pool, which was showing 1 week 5 days for the last share for this worker, is now showing shares.  Thanks.

I note I have modified my Blade stand.  Previously the Blade was standing RTV'd in slots in two PVC pipes and a pair of 120mm fans blowing on the heatsink from a distance of about 1½", as well as a room fan some distance away blowing at the miner.  Now I lay the two 120mm fans down on a metal bar rack having open air.  The fans are attached to one another and at one end two PVC are vertical.  On the vertical PVC I have another fan, something like an 80mm, on a down angle.  I place the miner on top of the two 120mm fans, heatsink down and the 80mm fan blows across the Blade top.

Up to 92.10% and rising.  I'm a happy customer.

today's orders shipped out

So, if 10 days at Canary, and add transit time, a repair would leave at one difficulty, seen a jump, and then another before it gets back home.

Wonder if a new buy or a replacement Blade is the V2.001 without the reset header and having a soldered fuse.

--------------------------

A replacement Blade is in the works!

The purpose of the 'signature thing' is to prove you have ownership/control of the wallet from which the btc had been sent. 

shipping out all blade orders shortly...

Does anyone know how I find the transaction "tracking" number? I sent payment but feel like I'm missing a step.

I did the whole "signature" thing under the receive tab on Blockchain but I can't wrap my head around how this information has anything to do with my transaction.

It's this type of stuff with the user experience of online wallets and transactions that makes Bitcoin a bit scary. Right now I know I sent a payment, but I can't quite be certain I jumped through the correct hoops within the online wallet.

Edit: figured out they probably want the shipping tracking number to prove who I am. Had to read up on signing to understand the purpose. Payment sent, label and info have been emailed.

Just had a similar issue with a bfl order. They shipped my order last Wednday and sent me the tracking it moved though the postal system got stuck in a sorting facility for a few day and spent an other couple days at my local post office. The package finally was delivered today. USPS is busy this time of year and deliveries are taking longer than normal right now. I have shipped a few items myself via usps and they have been hit and miss on keeping to delivery times. Good luck.

I had a similar problem with an Amazon order (from a 3rd party vendor). The package made it to a local sorting facility and there it sat. I had to go to my local post office and talk to the postmaster, as I could not seem to get help on the contact options listed.

It took nearly a month, but they eventually declared the package lost and paid my insurance. (You did use insurance, I hope?)

I have become leery of the USPS lately, with multiple lost and miss delivered packages in the last 6 months.

All I can say is "USE INSURANCE"
