Is there any proof of a CT box doing 2TH, or are the haters making stuff up just to troll?

I cant believe you show your face in another thread.... go back to your self moderated thread until your company stops scamming people....

Minor Miner advised me to

Quote from: Minor Miner on March 06, 2014, 07:30:05 PM

stay up to date on what is available in the market right now.

So that's what I'm going to do.

Now, have you any input on the issue of whether or not Cointerra's claim to have "greater than 500 GH/s" is true?

All I see on this thread are numerous reports of the "greater than 500 GH/s" claim in the OP being empirically false, citing demonstrated performance shortcomings of 20% under spec or worse.

Given the two unverified claims of 2TH CT boxes in the wild, we should resolve the matter in a calm, rational manner.

AFAIK only HashFast has demonstrated a working 2TH miner (at this week's Austin BTC conference).

But I'd love to see proof my belief is outdated or wrong. Are you going to help answer, or just attack me for daring to ask an on-topic, if impudent, question?

Judging by how [Cointerra] have handled everything so far, they arent going to make it right for anyone in the early batches, they are going to ignore the criticisms about their late, overpowered, underperforming machines and just continue to scam people out of their hard earned bitcoin. I can't believe theyre still claiming on their site that they are performing up to spec, not to mention theyre taking pre orders for June now?! It doesnt matter how polished or if they look like they have their shit together, they have acted just like every other asic company out there.

I'm hearing rumors of Cointerra chips actually operating at the advertised "greater than 500GH/s."

The relevance of HashFast's EVO product is obvious; it's the highest performance Custom Hardware ever demonstrated.

This is not true. I have CT that are hashing faster than that right now. You need to stay up to date on what is available in the market right now. I am willing to sell you one if you wish to see.

How can [HashFast's Sierra EVO] be the worlds first 2th miner when people have been able to reach 2th on a terraminer?

Is there any proof of a CT box doing 2TH, or are the haters making stuff up just to troll?

I have to say- after spending a good time talking to the CT guys at Austin, I think they have their shit together pretty well. Yes they are under performing and over power,but of the teams that I have met at these conferences and otherwise (HF coughcough) I think these guys if any have a good chance of making this right for everyone.

Hello, I tried updating the firmware and it said 'Invalid File' I tried the zip file and I extracted the zip file. The folder was named 'upgrade' but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

dont extract

What format is the file when you download it? Mine downloads as a .zip file.

And how do you suppose they will make it right given people are 400 Ghs short and time is ticking by?

WOW...before the new FW I had one machine running at about 1.3TH/s and one running at about 1.5TH/s (at the pool).
After the new FW upgrade, both systems are running at about 1.6TH/s Grin

edit - the "status" page in the web interface still reports about the same speed as before....1.61TH/s each...so it looks like they've been able to close the gap between what the machines were reporting and what the pools were accepting. While still nowhere near 2TH/s...but it's good progress, I've gained a total of 400GH/s with the new FW (about 0.06 BTC per day at current diff).

2nd edit - the processors are also running much hotter now. In both boxes, I've got a core hitting over 90C...a little disconcerting considering the weather here is still pretty cold and the summer is on the way. I'm going to see what adjusting the power stepping will do.

Also, will a standard cpu cooler mount correctly on these?

Probably not, even if you decided to void the warranty by opening it. Besides, there is basically one of the best cooling solutions on the market cooling the chips right now, why would you want to replace it?

I've seen my units go above 90C and continue to output 1.6TH/s. I hate for that to happen (it shortens their lifespan considerably) but they seem to at least operate at these temperatures.

I just got mine today. It was getting only 1.3th, some of the temps were high 80c. I set it up outside to see if it would help. Now it's getting 1.6TH. Anyone know how low the temps need to be? Also, will a standard cpu cooler mount correctly on these?

new firmware download:

http://cointerra.com/firmware-downloads/

has anyone tried it yet?

So far so good on my end, though I'm not holding my breath just yet. I applied the update around 2 hours ago, and it appears that things are running a bit faster. On the original firmware, I ran at around 1.2TH/s (power step '5' since that was the only one that allowed for stability) and the stats always showed one core was dead.

After the update, it seems I'm doing alright at 1.32TH/s (same power step). The stats no longer show the core volts (which is what I used to determine a problematic core to begin with), but now I see...

...the problematic core, Asic1Core1, is showing a value that's not '0000000000000...', so I figured that's a good sign.

I'll give it another day or two. If all looks well, I'll probably try bumping up the power a little and see how it holds up.

I've been following this thread for a long time, but finally signed up and figured it's time to contribute. I received my Terraminer IV yesterday, and my order was placed early November. So far it is performing very well. It crashed once last night after being powered up for about three hours, and I lost one of the boards today. It recovered quickly both times after a quick reboot. As far as hashing goes, it has gotten as low as 1.2-1.3Th/s. It has gotten as high as 2.06 Th/s, and stayed there for a few minutes. Overall it seems to be averaging 1.6-1.7 Th/s.

Get your crap spam out of here

Cointerra's ASIC hashrate is "greater than 500 GH/s?"
False.

HashFast's ASIC hashrate is "greater than 500 GH/s?"
True.

The objective truth is not "spam" regardless of your subjective personal emotional reaction.

HashFast_CL how do you think that people are receiving your posts when they see this:

Quote

Trust: -22: -4 / +0(0)
Warning: Trade with extreme caution!

HashFast_CL: It's a warning to not order from other ASIC-based bitcoin miner companies. Those numbers represent as follows: 22 shipped out to date. 4 miners ready to be shipped this month. 0 miners we hash with. It's called transparency. Now, if you'll excuse me, Long Dong Johnson and Skropenis are waiting for me in the closet.

Seems they started shipping February batches. Anyone from February batch received theirs yet?

I have two units due at the end of February and I've heard nothing yet. So when I get mine I'll announce it on this thread (if I'm not busy constantly trying to keep them online) and then you guys will know most of February is over.

its hard to win ordering asics at all

You win by ordering from companies that have IN STOCK asics.. That way you can fairly predict profit potential

Of the three I've ordered from, only one vendor (Bitmain, obviously) actually delivered on target. This mess with Cointerra has seriously put me off ordering any other ASICs, I'm tired of eating the risk of these startup companies failures. I'm now in the early stages of working on an Nvidia Maxwell scrypt mining operation instead. Maybe you're right jjiimm and it's preorders that are to be avoided.

Maybe I'll feel differently once the Terraminers arrive. I was told yesterday by email by Terrafly Labs that they've completed shipping January and are working on February, which will be done "within the next 1-2 week(s)". Whether that's two weeks or Two Weeks™ remains to be seen.

They also confirmed that "any opening of the machine will violate the warranty". Fucking great.
