Topic: Is the Hashra company still active in this forum? no more hardware support? (Read 1180 times)

cool ty I'm down loading it now . i like to check stuff out but i do recommend, use Minera he does fix stuff . as for Hashra i all ways liked there controller software even thu the company turn out to be a bust . i do wish they came thu with there  Script miners they could have led the way with  prices for script miners. but it did not happen .


and most of  those links are book marks i do both script and SHA256 mining in my home i have a small farm its getting close to were i want it I'm at 6 miners right now ten is my set limit depending on power usage.etc.


Might even build a small  GPU farm  sense X11 is doing azaming atm, but that's a big maybe for me.

Hey guys, thanks for using Minera!
If you had issues with it and you have some time please pm me or open an issue here: https://github.com/michelem09/minera/issues  I'm really glad to solve bugs that Minera can have.

And if you have Antminers too please check this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11043752
Minera got 0.5.0 version and now supports network miners too

cheers toptekk

after all that searches here comes the Hashra firmware (latest version I can find but can still be updated once more after installed) , I've uploaded to Dropbox here:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95228916/HASHRA%20Guides%20and%20Firmware.zip


No more searches on this Hashra firmware as I found working on Minera with custom built bfgminer works better than the original firmware.

With Antminer S3 now I'm officially a bitcoin beginner.   

Cheers

Maybe these Links will help you some .

If I still had one of the hashra images i would post it BTW they only work on the Rasp pi b or lower and don't work on the + or 2 model and were never updated for those models encase you find one and it does not  work that might be why.


Just found this

Thanks quakefiend420,

Didn't go down that route but I guess it will definitely work if I followed your advice -- the bfgminer I compiled using Zeus github/darkwinde worked perfect so I guess it will be the same if using zeus controller.

cheers.

Try using the Zeuscontroller image, should be able to find it floating around.  I used that to run up to 3 of that exact unit on a single Pi for weeks at a time with no issues, very stable.

Have a look here: http://zeusminer.com/user-manual-ver-1-0/

I think your on right track.  Zeus/gaw/hahra all were essentially same chips and different cases.  Eventually they made like 30 MHs but most stopped there.  I think gaw made the biggest one, warmachine is i remember right.

thanks dogie,

I have successfully connected it to a PSU that I use for Antminer S3 - the fans are pretty noisy but yes it is an ASIC Scrypt Miner

it is Hashra Lunar Lander  since the seller confirmed it has 14+ Mhs so I guess it is Warp 1 (their product name)?

No cgminer or bfgminer currently work on this brick at the moment but I found from this forum that they are using zeus chips so now I'm digging into compiling a bfgminer from zeus github....  hopefully that'll work (still not sure how many chips, allowed frequency range etc. details..) 

It seemed to be powered by pi controller - I have one at my hand but if anyone have their working firmware available please.... send me a copy (I found one PDF here mentioning their firmware on raspberry pi    https://mega.co.nz/#!qkZFnaoI!dqhkPQLNdVhHSQdCOe_mlBzjeZUPo0gmahDyJlM7No8 )

Thanks...

If you encounter problems, you can post them here and other members and I can try our best with the info we know.

You might post over in altcoins if i remember right i think it was a scrypt miner that a few companies produced with different a different case.

I have not ran on myself so I cannot say about running them. 

As far as hearing from them again I highly doubt it. Some of threads were locked by poster dealing with them.  And they kept saying like one more week for a long time.  I could be wrong but i think they rode into the sunset with all the pre-order cash.

I'm a newbie and just got a Hashra miner along with a few others from Bitmains - the Hashra one was bought from eBay purely because I thought it looked nice (yep idiot me)

It appears their website now longer at service and there's no way to find their supporting team, firmware updates, etc. etc.

They appear to be registered in the UK (I'm in the UK)

Their record and registered office seems to be fraudulent (can't confirm this but: http://interfraud.org/ni_british_connection.htm)

I actually don't care whether they went bust or directors gone jail, is there anywhere/support for their legacy hardware (which seems all working miners)?


========04/04/2015 update========
I've finally got it up and running - I ended up using Minera image with a custom built bfgminer which is fantastic. The Hashra miner now runs at 14Mhs at Ghash's multi-pool  (have been several hours now and haven't got a payout yet)

Now the problem is that bfgminer shows HW 7.3% and Rejects 4.5%, however the Minera UI shows HW 4.3% and Rejects 6.83% which doesn't match up -- and even matching up, the results aren't good.  I also bought 4 Antminer S3 at the same and the HW & Rejects on those were so few that I can simply consider it as 0% HW and 0% Rejects...  I have no idea maybe I still have something wrongly configured on the Minera/Hashra miner, but really fed up playing with this thing now.  Will leave it running for a few days then decides it's fate if it loses more money.Anyone if you experience similar before or think it might be my configuration issue please give me a hint...

-------FOR WHO'S ALSO NEWBIE AND TRYING TO FIND HOW TO SETUP (Hashra Lunar Lander Warp1 -- but I guess you can play with the parameters for different versions as long as they are Zeus chips)

The last change log I have on my paper that made it work is:

1) Use latest Minera image downloaded from Minera website
2) Updated and upgraded raspberry pi,  and installed gcc 4.9 on the pi for compilation
3) Ran the retuild miner script provided under /var/www/minera to rebuild the miner software with the latest
4) mkdir at /var/www/minera/minera-d/custom for a new clone of latest Darkwinde bfgminer from  https://github.com/Darkwinde/bfgminer
5) compile ( no need for additional options because this bfgminer is specific for Zeus miners )
6) copy the new executable and rename to /var/www/minera/minera-d/custom/bfgminer-darkwinde
7) in Minera settings choose this new custom build, and in the mannual options section use:   --set zus:chips=64 --set zus:clock=328 --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1 --scrypt  -S zus:/dev/ttyUSB0 (Note play with it for your verion)  

--- the PDF I got for Hashra was that it uses 128 chips, however when I set zus:chips=128 it worked but the Minera statistics doubled the hashrate which was amazing but totally wrong so I set it to 64 in case I was reading the wrong Hashra manual -- it worked at 14+ Mhs so I guess I was right

Hopefully the setup guide above helps for any other newbies like me entering the bitcoin/altcoin world....


[Conclusion]
The Hashra miner cost me over 14 hours to set up, which could worth many years of mining bitcoin returns if considering it as my professional working hours!  no mention the frustrations of compiling different versions of miner software plus configuration - and failing results.

Best advice whoever reading this and have a second-hand (or new) no-more-supported Hashra - use the guide above if you are IT ninja like me, or throw it as I guess there's no point to see how it loses your money after joy of setting it up....
