Topic: HashFast BabyJet users thread - page 20. (Read 69008 times)
So this chip is capable of 1ghz however the ones on BJ and Sierra go upto 680Mhz.... Good News its SAFE to OC people..... Bad News we will never get to 1ghz clock with our ver of PCB and the current Firmware.
For the third time in the last week, my BabyJet has shutdown for no apparent reason. Even my BFL miners, that have been humming along nicely for nearly four months, have been having issues with Eligius, tonight. This BabyJet can't be left alone. It is bad enough that the RPi died after a couple of weeks, and HashFast doesn't give a rip.
I give up. Just label me a sucker. I'm going back to bed...

Pretty sure it will be the same golden nonce chip, just with an improved power supply.

Any one check the setup.hashfast/rpi ... testing of the dam new board, makes our boards look more like dev boards than retail.
who are you? the forum police. it is the place to discuss this as the thread u referred to is dead and dying, along with this one I might add since Phil the engineer was disappeared by CEO Eduardo. Everything I stated is germane to this thread and the matter at hand, specifically the lack of an updated firmware for these poorly performing boards and precisely why that firmware won't be released: the scammers and marketeers at scamfast are trying to rake their customers over the coals again for just a few more coins. Been there and have the BFL shirt to prove it. Nice try eduardo. You and your ilk are the reason bitcoin is in such trouble. Eating your own does nobody any good.
Look, we all know that, but you aren't doing this thread any favour by carrying the hashfast war over here. The OP asked you kindly to keep this technical, which is the point of this thread, and you have a go at him? You probably wont get anything from hashfast - period. Time to get over it.
Calling them names, alltho truly deserved, wont make you hash faster. The only place you going to get anything that might be helping your BJ hash faster / at all is this very thread, where people try to make the best of a bad situation. Cluttering it and let it grow to 400 pages wont help people find answers. You yourself have 4 posts on this forum, in this very thread, asking for help with your cable. Would you like these questions to get overlooked cause dozens of people post HF flame?
You say eating your own does nobody any good, but that's exactly what you are doing.
I've been mining for the last 10+ days stable@ 470 Gh/s with the old firmware on a Ubunutu 13.10 on Laptop w/Cgminer 3.09h2 , just can't get 3.12.3 to run like it was intended until the FW is out ,as per Ckolivas advice. So put the RPi for FW updates and that about it.
Indeed, it's really bugging me that the firmware is still lagging behind the driver that I wrote for it... 
Looks like HF-Engineer has been muzzled by his "libertarian superiors" from commenting further on these boards. Also, looks like Scamfast will not release much anticipated firmware update due to the fact that they are going to "try" and get another product cycle out of 28nm golden nonce with an updated PCB motherboard and the updated firmware. Shameless. Looks like the marketing scumbags at scamfast are taking after US car manufacturers of the early 80's with planned obsolescence, designed to fail engineering forcing consumer to buy again prematurely. Scumbags haven't even begun to ship sierra to any notable degree and are only shipping early batch 2, and yet they come out with "improved" Yoli board which does 2x the hashing of current boards. I bet they already have these boards in house and ready to go but will not push them out with current orders because they are a bunch of greedy scumbags. Scamfast is finished. They have burned their goodwill with community. No more. Looks like they jettisoned John Skadronis(sp) head of marketing and VP. Guess he wasn't willing to go along with their latest scam

Based on the success of the Avalon ASIC users thread, I'm posting one for HashFast now that some people have received theirs.
Please no discussion about broken promises/delivery/refunds etc.

Maybe they will try selling the improved firmware to existing customers as a software upgrade?

It's possible not to say probable that a new PCB will give (gave?) them an increased boost in performances, just like KNC did and CT is in the process of. They are marketing 2TH +- 20%, that is 1.6TH at the lowest range. Just a bit over their current sierra.

Yes, looks like it is exactly the same hardware. Perhaps they will cherry pick individual dies for performance. But the 800 GH/s Yoli claims seem to be based on their BS 'bench test' of 768 GH/s rounded up for marketing. Their deceptive marketing and unethical business practices make me sick.
Meanwhile my Batch 1 BJ is still buggy as hell,needs a reboot every 24h and manages 385 GH/s on a good day. And MPP? a bad joke.

what is the best direction for the fans, blowing onto the vregs or other way round?
Earlier in the thread, per the HF dude, on a BJ, all fans should be sucking into the box, except the two on top of the radiator. A lot of BJ's were shipped with one or more fans oriented in the wrong direction.
Yeah I think he meant how to place additional fans that cool the vregs to increase his overclocking capability.

I would say place the fans so the heatsinks are in the direction of the fan blowing, probably the most efficient.

I overclocked it to 660. Now i get 490 gh/s at the pool with temp. from 71 to 78 degrees.
I also throw the case away and run my BJ outside of this worthless box, so it runs 5 degrees cooler. But i still use the standard raspi..
edit: had a lot of reboots from watchdog with 660 when i got warmer about noon (temp. of the chip was about 78 degrees), so i had to go back to 615 which delivers 460 gh/s at the pool!
