So after a little over 24hrs I've learned a little and been angry a lot.

Of the 9 Sierra's 2 are useless. 1 fails to power up although did power for a short time today, on connecting it to CGminer it immediately gave an error along the lines of 'Main Board 12V error' and crashed CGminer.

Those quality numbers seem to reflect what other customers have been suffering

Out of the 4 BBJets I got, 1 was a dud. And Icedrill had about 25% of their 250 TH arrive not working, so they needed to RMA 60 units.

The other problem Sierra was running fine but now does nothing but crash CGminer with Libusb errors.

I've had a few hours of easy running with the other 7 machines but now im having to restart every 20 mins or so.

Whilst the .4 firmware may solve some of this, there appears to be no support for windows users with the instructions only talking about Unix or babyjet users flashing their cards.

Hi JD, thanks for the reply.

I downloaded CGminer 4.1 to windows 7 - inside the zip is CGminer.exe which I run from a batch file along the lines of

@echo on
cgminer.exe -o pooldetails:3333 -u myusername -p mypassword

I've tried adding in the '--hfa-hash-clock 600' on the above string and it causes CGminer to load and immediately quit.

Obviously I'm a moron for not knowing this stuff so really do appreciate the help.

Can someone treat me like an idiot and tell me exactly where I enter --hfa-hash-clock 600?

Im using CGminer 4.1

I've managed to get 4 Sierra's hashing from one PC, adding more Sierra's just causes it to crash. Is this normal?

What OS? How are you currently starting cgminer?

If from command line linux: ./cgminer --hfa-hash-clock 600

If using config file: "hfa-hash-clock" : "600",

Having an issue where windows closes Cgminer due to USB error

HFHash USB write err:<-7> LIBUSB_Error_Timeout
attempted reset got err:<0> LIBUSB_SUCCESS
hfa_send_frame: USB Send error, ret 0 amount 0 vs. tx_length 64, retrying

CGminer then crashes and has to close.

Also have one Sierra that doesnt power at all, no LED lights and not recognised when USb connected to windows.

Any help appreciated.

Don't let the nam-shub in your operating system.

I'm still looking for where they said everything through Batch 4 will be shipped by March 31st... maybe Facebook

Their anticipating doing a lot by March 31st, batch 2 sierra's still haven't been built/shipped , they sent me an e-mail saying that they targeted to ship by end of March - beginning of April. + batch 3 sierras & babyjets, batch 4 by end of April beginning of may then the new evo units. somewhere inbetween all that is the MPP units. they got a seriously big rabbit to pull out of this hat trick

I'm a Batch 3 Sierra customer and the email I received only said "we anticipate shipping by March 31st." I talked to Chris on the phone and he suggested (no confirmation, he doesn't know for sure) that Ciarra might be producing in batches, and then re-tooling for other customers and then back to HashFast orders. That would explain the erratic deliveries.

On the IceDrill thread it seems they've received 169THs(?) out of 253TH/s...their order was smaller than originally desired because they didn't raise enough BTC for the full 500TH/s... check the thread to be sure.

Holy shit... Texas Bitcoin Conference. Austin. March 5th and 6th. Hashfast is there? Yes, they are.

Edit: Scratch that... they may not physically be there. Lucky for them!

just had an e-mail from hashfast :-
Batch 2 is targeted to ship by end of March - beginning of April. Apologies for the vague time window. When your order is ready for shipment, you will receive a shipping confirmation/ tracking email and should receive your order soon thereafter.

My apologies for the lack of communication and the hassle this has caused you. Thank you for your patience during this time.

Best Regards,

Chris

mid march is being hopeful considering icedrill have only received 12% of their order after spending 20,000 BTC.
I hope they can make it early/mid march, otherwise these units are going to be not much more than just big paperweights Sad

i know this is off topic but, does anyone know if any batch 2 sierra's have/are being delivered yet?
it's now over a month past its guaranteed date and starting to take the p***.

You might be interested in the IceDrill thread, they just released a audit report of their assets. They were the largest single buyer of Hashfast Sierra units and they were supposed to be ahead of everyone with October delivery. At any rate their report shows they have only received roughly 12% of the Sierras they ordered as of a week or two ago if that tells you anything about when you might be seeing yours...

Thank you for this. I am a batch 2 sierra customer too and still waiting... Angry

I have mailed them several times but have only got the standard reply "working through the order chain blabla", they don't even verified my shipping address yet!

I have got a mail from my hosting company that they are awaiting a large sierra order which are promised for the first week of march (but not in full). I think, smaller orders like mine will be earliest deliver on mid-march. Sad
