Like I've got 3 of the raspberry pi units...one of them controlling 3 Black widows, one controlling 2 furys and the other is basically testing 1 fury...any idea as to whether I can control all the units from a single account?  OR do I need 3 zenminer accounts? :/ I sent a support ticket, let's hope they answer soon! lol

Once a zen miner has been registered, what happens?  Can you control more than one miner from a single account?  I wish there was a FAQ because there is literally zero information. This thread is the only reason I got my miners running...they're not hashing but at least I got past the 8 pin connectors incorrectly wired down to 6..

GAWMiners... can you provide a 12V switching power supply for the Black Widow that could ship with my week 2 orders???  Or provide detailed power requirements in 12V amps for all the new miners?  New products for you to sell.  I really don't want to mess with a PC power supply.  Thank you.

I highly doubt it would run on a 12v 30 amp supply.  Not enough power!


So I should be able to run it on my 12V@30A supply I have ten Gridseed 5-chips on as well as power a couple Fury's too?  <5A is much more reasonable.  Just need some power adapter cables...   I really don't want to have to run a PC power supply.

Has anyone started putting together a list of "known working" power supplies?  I've never mined GPU's so don't have a bunch of PC power supplies laying around.  A dedicated 12V switching supply would be great.  Thoughts?

*LOUD* fans aren't really an option (wife is about to kill be over the 10 GS already) until we get Wi-Fi support...  would a 12@50A supply be enough power for a Black Widow?

Registering to this site since it seems its the only place we are receiving any sort of information about the products etc..Too bad they cant use their site to keep the customers up to date (and have only recently discovered how to email their customers about changes and new information).

I digress, I wanted to ask anyone who works for GAWMiners why they were removing negative reviews on the ASIC Fury page. For your information, censorship is clearly not the way to go. I recommend instead you work harder on delivering a good service and the good reviews will come in time. From what I've seen the hardware looks very promising however the manner in which GAWMiner executed the launch was abysmal to say the least. Very bad communication etc.. Lets just hope this is a learning experience for all.

Troll.

Launch was decent, there were the bumps but they were handled quickly and efficiently. Wasn't a scam, and each situation is being resolved as we still speak.

Week 1 is technically alpha, week 2 beta, week 3 final release. Any one expecting different was not being realistic and shouldnt have had their hopes that high on a community and business as new and young as this one.

For a company only around for a short while, they have released a store front with phenomenal customer service, which continues to grow with the demand. They have released their own series of miners, and provided those with the risk of taking the leap a FREE $40+ unit that they took a loss on in order to make the items more easily maintained.

Abysmal it was not.

Troll.

Decent? Ha, I don't think you know what your taking about. Week 1 is alpha? Your misguided buddy, people who order pre-order six thousand dollar miners don't want to wait around for you to fix your little bug, every hour the machine is not hashing its loosing money - Looking at it otherwise is foolish, this isn't kindergarten its real world business. Further, the whole issue about the ZenMiner wasn't handled well. Sure its a gift, and im sure everyone is grateful but that doesn't explain how there were no communications with customers and it suddenly popped up on the product page..and suddenly left again a day or so later...That screams lack of professionalism. Again, the miner themselves look pretty decent and time will tell if they stand up but Its looking good.  


Finally, why remove negative reviews? If you cant stand the heat, then your clearly in the wrong place. I know im coming off as a dick but you have to understand THEY have to earn my trust and respect, just because they are new doesn't cut them any slack and its stupid to think otherwise.

Better to have 100 friends than 100 rubles
Thanks for posting the zenOS screenshot - your getting more information than I am.  Mine stops after the MAC address, with no pool information.  Alas, I'm not using "clevermining" though.

I wonder if the hosted gen a's are drawing that much power too...

Any reports from War Machines?

Is your flash card inserted solidly?   You can download the flash image (OS and mining binary) from GAW, then put it onto your card.

If you are having issues with the ZenController (raspberry Pi) here's what I suggest you can do to possibly find the problem:

Connect the HDMI cable from the ZenController to a display and plug a USB keyboard into the ZenMiner.  Login using

Username: root
Password: gawminers


Once logged in, you can enter the cgminer screen process by typing: screen -r

You will see the current output from cgminer and if you're like me, instantly realize you did not enter your pool credentials correctly. Smiley


To exit the screen and leave cgminer running, press Control-a-d.  (i.e. hold 'Control' then press 'a' then press 'd').


If you dont have an HDMI compatible display, the ZenController is preconfigured to grab an IP address from the network via DHCP.  So you can login to your internet router and the ZenController will probably listed in your list of connected devices / DHCP leases.  You can then SSH into the ZenController using the same login info as above.  You could also scan your network for the IP address, or randomly try IP addresses on your network until you get an SSH connection.

Mine won't even get an IP address. Not from my router, or my extender. Tested on known working ports with known working cables.

Connected a monitor to it and it asked me to install an OS to it.  I'm wondering if I didn't get the ZenMiner OS installed on mine.

It's drawing 4.75 amps @120v.  About 570 Watts.  I have it running from a 550W Rosewill 80Plus Gold PSU.  Will probably have to switch to something bigger...


FWIW, my Black Widow that arrived an hour ago is hashing away at 14MH/s.

How much power is it drawing? I have mine plugged into a 650w EVGA 80Gold PSU that's drawing 89w at idle (300w with the BW plugged in). AS SOON as I start mining, it shuts down and I have to CMOS reset my PC to even get it to boot back up.

That 370W number is not accurate.  You need a 550W (absolute minimum) or greater PSU for the Black Widow.

BTW, that number is 370 watts at 120 volts, not 12 volts.   The Black Widow uses about 47.5 Amps at 12 volts.

Edit: My 550W PSU is only powering the BW.  No computer.  If you were powering a computer too, you'd need an even larger PSU.


Trying to get ready for my Black Widow.  States "Power Consumption: 370W".  Is that 370W @ 12V or the size of a PC Power Supply required?  370W @ 12V is 30.83A.  Does the Black Widow really require >30A of power?  That seems like a lot.  I would prefer to run off of the 30A 12V supply with Black Widow power connectors (new GAW accessory?).  Has anyone actually measured how many amps at 12V are required?  Thanks.

'The right to privacy matters'
okay  first question I have is who has a working fury/zenminer in hand?

if you do what power does it pull?   what does it hash?

I have played the new gear time over and over and over and over.


I decided to

 a ) wait for real world reports on zemminer - gaw miner combo's

next question is their a support thread for this on this site.

It would be in script/alt coins.  but a thread with all of the new gaw miners would be good.

 I have no gaw miners justs grid seeds  5 chip  and  blades.

A nice setup thread with the units would be helpful

the fury
the widow
the falcon
the war machine
the zen controller




I am quoting my self   as I am looking for   this idea to take off.


1) the fury  runs at   1.3mh   with 40 watts  

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7007242  from _____TR________

question to _____TR______ what is your power source a brick or an atx PSU with some pcie adapter cords?

I ask because watts  WITH A BRICK would be much higher then with a plat atx psu.  So 40 watts is good if it is a brick  .  Since I think a plat psu with pcie adapters would do 32-35 watts


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7023686

1.3mh 48 watts with a brick

2) the widow

we have a video and unboxing of the widow here.  

http://hoosierminer.com/gawminer-black-widow-unboxing/


looks like a 16.6 mh hash rate But I can read the power meter or the hash rate well
 
more info please a second miner says they get 14mh  not sure what power draw.

3) the falcon:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7023389

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7024539


getting 25mh and pulling 1000 watts?

4) the war machine

no results

5)zen controller

so please quote and add info to the 5 above.

we can use this to organize  a support thread.

Here's my cgminer config for Black Widow (I'm not using the ZenMiner stuff, just the custom cgminer binary on the RaspberryPi).

Code:
cgminer --api-listen --api-network -o us.wemineltc.com:3333 -u username.widow -p x -o stratum2.wemineltc.com:3333 -u username.widow -p x --nocheck-golden --chips-count 64 --ltc-clk 328 -S /dev/ttyUSB0
