nicely packed

when I hot air blowing out of it I figured someone was making some money on my electric and sure enough - someone's account and pool were in there.... I wonder how long they test these things -  A WEEK???  LOL

aside from the bad power cable to run the rasberry (which I'll get rid of soon) and the problem I had after upgrading the firmware - thee unit is running nicely. I have no been able to test the watts its drawing but it goes generate a decent amount of hot air (so do the guys I work with tho) and the fan is not overly noisy. I have my units in my basement where it's always cool and I can't hear anything from down there anyway.

I'm quite impressed that's it's hashing at 26.5 MH with the standard clock setting. I'm not going to experiment with the faster clock setting - you guys can do that because I want his thing to be reliable and last and pay for itself many times over.



Which fan would you say is louder, The fan on your hashra machine or the fan on a g-blade?

this fan is certainly louder - it's almost twice the size of the gblade fan...

I would not want the unit in my office that's for sure... but it's not obnoxious...

ciao dickhead...

I was advised to upgrade to the new firmware.

please go back to the rock you crawled out from under....



Anywho......

Is the img file up on their support site. Maybe reflashing the SD will work.

It was definately the firmware - DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE FROM THEIR CONTROL MENU!

I reflashed using the firmware that comes on the chip and i'm back hashing fine again.

it you want to see what's really happening on the system - ssh to the ip address of the rasberry using pi/controla

and then tail /var/log/syslog

they have debug mode set on so everything is written to the log file

or you can just watch it scroll by in the debug window

with the clocking set to 301 (default) I'm hashing along at 26.5 mh

pics coming in a few

what's also nice is they're using cgminer and have the api enabled to I can monitor the machine through cgremote and get alerts if it stops mining (and most mpos pools offer these alerts also).

I can't wait till the second arrives and I ordered another today from zighash





Whew, that was a close one (NOT)

simon's tech guy did get back to be and I'll be trying the original firmware that was shipped on the ssd card.

I have my fingers crossed.

but I still hate rasberry's!

not the old one - already checked


Well, that's all I had. What was the last version number?  Bear with me here, I don't have a Hashra miner, just following the thread.

folks - if you get your miner my advice that if it's running ok -  ignore the message that says there's a newer version of firmware and DO NOT UPGRADE until  get my problem figured out.

There you go now you are helping with your big boy pants on.

I am not defending Hashra,

BUT

It seems like you are the first person to get a unit, you were very patient to wait for your unit, now be patient to get support.

Where are you located and where are they located? Are you looking for them to reply to your support request and perhaps its 3am where they are?


Have a little patience.



you my friend are not out $6,000 like me.


So let me make sure I am clear?

It arrived, you plugged it in, it Hashed at 25Mh as advertised,
You did a firmware upgrade and now it won't hash,
You sent support an email, they haven't responded yet,
So you now believe you are out $6000?

How did you come to this conclusion?



I don't know who you are but you're a late comer to this thread so do me a favor unless you can help me out you're not help.

I've waited patiently so my unit...

I only received one of the two I ordered...

I followed their instructions to a T.

I make accomodations for a power cable that did not work

I can ping the unit and can ssh to is but it does not respond on port 80...

and since there's no source code available for me to compile a version that I can run off a linus box I'm stuck with this rasberry that's not responding.

I even tried my own rasberry to no avail.

it would be nice to see my investment and time start producing income for me...

ciao!




Good luck, I have to go anyway, I just bought a new car, it ran out of gas so now it won't run,
I have to go buy a new car now, I am out $45,000.

Sound familiar genius?

First lesson you should learn about this hobby you are new to,
When you are the first to get a unit, and it works, leave it alone,
let others screw with it until they have figured it out and your risk is almost zero.

Why the hell would you screw with it once you got it working?

Ciao Dufus.

well - I guess I should have left well enough alone.

perhaps my power cable for the Pi was simply defective - I dunno, but it's kind of cobbled together so I'll pull the tape off later and look to see if the connectors are put together properly.

the controla software told me there was a new version of firmware available so I chose to download it.

and it attempted to reset itself but would not start mining again - so I powered everything off and back on and it's back hashing again.

as you see on the attached screen - there is a drop down list so that you can set the clock speed. It defaults to 291 but as you can see on the list you can run it slower or a lot faster

I'm going to hook up a meter soon to see the actual current load.

By the way - what is really really nice is that Simon includes an adapter that plugs into the 'motherboard' harness of the PSU with an on/off rocker switch on it so that you do not have to jumper pins 3&4 on the harness to supply power once the PSU is turned on - that's a really nice little touch.

Update - My Hasrha unit arrived this afternoon.

I just got it all connected and what I noticed is that there is no power supply for the Pi included.

what is included it an adapter that takes one of the standard four pin plug from the PSU and has a power plug for the Pi on the other end.

Unfortunately this power cable does not supply enough power to the Pi to get it to fire up it's lights and the ethernet link.

Fortunately for me I had a Pi sitting around that I used to use with my Gridseeds and I used that power supply to get it fired up.

I am anxiously waiting for Simon to post a link to the the GIT source project where the Hashra source code is located so that I can compile it and run it directly from my pc using Linux.

I am going to attempt to access the unit now.

ps: there's a great little freeware program from www.advanced-ip-scanner.com that I use to scan the network for new ip addresses and I used that to find the Rasberry/Hashra unit.

the unit must be hashing already into Simons LTC account somewhere because it's putting a load on my UPS and is blowing hot air out the back.

In terms of noise it's no louder than a small room fan.

more to follow:

Smiley

Congrats on your arrival! any pics?

And about the power supply above, "EH?!?!"  unlike you I do not have a power supply for a Pi just lying around. How can something like this have been overlooked??  (not to worry I guess because my unit is still in HK :/ )
