i have been reading over some of the post about going to go into ssh and all this jazz. Did i miss something, is it plug and play (short of adding pool info) or what? would you say this is a similar interface to the antminer interface?
the interface is fine dont change ssh setting it locks you out. no idea how to restore the amt settings for it either.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if its better to get the do it yourself kit or wait another week for the full package.... Im due to receive my miner very soon ? ? ?
Since you had to ask, I would say that it is safer to wait for the whole package. (Your asking, leads me to assume you may have doubts about playing with the raw components of the system. Not trying to imply anything, other than that.)
It is more than just a "connect wire and run", kit... There is a lot to contend with.
That is just my opinion. (Unless you want to risk damage that may or may not be covered.)
No reset switch

Eligius graph is great though...Will you share your impressions with us?
What i am expecting to see is 1.2T straight line graph for at least 24 hours. That will mean it works
i will be mining at ghash.io so will take screen shots 24hr after start to show avg hash. i have never used eligus tbh
Assuming 1.2T (will be) is with 5 blades you have to be able to reach 1.2 / 5 * 4 = 0.96T. According to AMT (AFTER MILLIONS OF LIES AT THE END) The power draw AT THE WALL should be around 1.1KW /5 *4 = 0.88KW
Correct?
Please be so kind to tell us your extra costs about PSU if you both any fans or whatever
Thanks
no its 3 blades on a 600w psu (backplane and 1 blade) and a 750w (pi, fans and 2 blades) spare from 2 ltc mining rigs. fans powerfull and kick up after pi boot. no kw meter as of yet but figured 300w per card so around 900w.
2 mins after start up not sure if it gotta warm up, possibly under powering it. all new territory.
if they mine at diff one for sure blade 3 is crap
however they can tell the asics to return only diff matching pool diff in that case some time is needed for it to level
Watch your pool do not trust this web shit!
Another way to reliably monitor it is using BFGminer (works for 32bit version only can be installed in 64bit Windows though) in proxy mode. Point your miner to the machine running bfgminer --http-port option, while pointing bfgminer to your chosen pool. Should give you an accurate picture as to how it mines. If you want to go the extra mile use cgwatcher for a much more user friendly interface to watch it with. Can even export the data and reports. That would work best for checking a sustained check. That said the web interface should be just fine to watch it also. But accurate real time stats would be better via bfgminer IMO.

There should be a tiny black button on the RasPi maybe2mm dia. on almost as tiny little metal box. That would be the reset default button. With power on, press and hold for 5-10 sec and then wait for system to reload & reboot.
Only question is did AMT allow for this.

A few questions about setting up the full AMT 1.2 miner:
1) I assume I can just aquire an IP (or set one statically)
2) Set my pool.
3) browse to the IP set and type admin/admin
4) Begin mining.
I don't really understand all the unplugging the Pi, do I really need to mess with that or the wires?
Also, if the flash is proprietary:
1) is there a way to back it up?
2) can you post a generic BIN file.
3) would it be possible if the board went bad just to buy another one and restore the file(s).
Thanks
its as simple as 192.168.1.whatever and access it from firefox.. change 1 setting in there and your locked out i know this. think i changed amt gui ssh setting by accident and no more gui lol 1) I assume I can just aquire an IP (or set one statically)

to get ip adress you use pi on hdmi and type ifconfig
can you post again some performance update from your pool graph preferably?

Most reliable method IMO is to make a dd image of the SDcard and keep it backed up somewhere (or two) this way if you ever needed to restore it would just be a matter of running the DD command (windows or Linux) back onto the sdcard or its replacement.

Does the RasPi have a micro-SD card on it? Many do. That is where the OS and such are. Just pop it out and copy like any other mem card. 1) I assume I can just aquire an IP (or set one statically)

Don't trust the lawyers, they are in the business of making themselves money, not you. (Don't be fooled by the gains "they made themselves", ask them "what gains did you make for your clients". You will see that they fall silent, when asked that question. The answer is "none", no "gains" were made for the clients.)
P.P.S. SPARTA! (#300... Come on people, that should have been in the first post on this page!)
Yes they may 'punish the company' but in the end the lawyers get most of the money.

We were due to be on the expo today, booth 401, we were going to demo our 2.4's, but in light of this news we felt its best to go to Toronto instead.
This sentence doesn't make sense. It might be missing a "not". Or is that where Josh was driving last night?
correction
"We were due to be on the expo today, booth 401, we were going to demo our 2.4's, but in light of this news we felt its best not to go and to go to Toronto instead.
AMT_miner,I understand you guys attend TORONTO BITCOIN EXPO April 11-13, Please bring me my 2 miners to Toronto,I'm in Toronto. I would like to pick up from EXPO. I supposed receive beginning of January,checked my email one #962 got transferred from Carols,Jim promised 2 times but never happened,let me know if this works out for you.
Dude, now there are plenty of "not's" in this post.
Which part of not are you not understanding?
Apologies Tonyca, after rereading their post I see it was me who did not understand.
AMT_Miners, are you coming to Toronto this weekend from April 11-April 13 2014 for BITCOIN EXPO? Bring me the miners or refund me. Thanks.
I can provide good review too,but where is my miners? 3 months and more no miners, can you apply Miner protection plan to our earliest orders in Nov of 2013?
Hope you are the responsible company.
Thanks.
To AMT_miners,
I sent email to your orders@ sales@,cced Jim etc. regarding my orders at 10:52PM EST on April 8.2014,one is transferred from Carlos,please response to my email or give me a call.
I always nice to you guys. check out my email chain,Jim promised me couple of times he ships my miner. but nothing happened, I got so frustrated on this.
Everyday I'm expecting the miner coming since new year of 2014, but never happened,3 months passed,still nothing.
A lot of ppl here orders seems to be shipped, and I still get nothing,so please kindly refund me.
Thank you kindly,
Tony

Do these have a web interface aside from an IP setup, and pool/password menus? Would be nice. (Ants do). All kinds of info including network traffic is available. Also allows for all the usual 'ux type shells, system maint., & other goodies.
Yes, but the rigs do not come with the little LCD display because they are mounted to the hard drive trey in the case - mounted either with electrical tape or double sided mounting tape. Also we've seen the little LCD screen flop from side to side because of length of the connector cable, and have shorted the rasPI a few times when the screen accidentally hits the RasPI because the screens sides are all metal. That's the main reason we do not include the screen in the Kit, it's frustrating to get the screen to sit properly on the table and is generally an accident waiting to happen. The only purpose of the the little LCD display is to show the ip address of the user interface and the current hashrate.
Upon going to the IP address in your browser (Don't bother with internet explorer, use any other browser) you will see the user interface.
Accessing the user interface:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Accessing the ip address without the little LCD screen:
Plug an HDMI cable into the rasPI and start the miner by plugging in the cable. You'll see a big raspberry with a loading bar on the bottom. After which you'll see the root login:
Access cgminer of AMT 1.2Th miner:
username: root
pass: amt
#killall cgminer (the miner is programmed to start immediately, that's why we kill cgminer upon login, as a rule the miner starts running with the credentials you add in the cgminer settings page (Click Settings - then click Cgminer)
#ifconfig
You'll see several addresses, the first being a local network ip address, usually starting with 192.168.1.(some number here) or 10.1.10.(some number here). Use that address to find the user interface in your browser.
If you don't have an HDMI cable and monitor free, you can check your router's admin panel for new ip addresses detected after plugging in the network cable and plugging in the miner.
Remember: From the time you plug in your miner, your miner is mining, so make sure all your fans are running and proper cooling is administered. A1 chips heat up quick, and you do not want to over heat your miner.
Workaround encase you don't want to start mining immediately and want to test the Raspberry pi and user interface setup first:
Unplug the GPIO ribbon cable from the back plane before plugging in the network cable and starting the miner. Login to the rasPI with the credential above and get the IP address first, then go to the Ip address in your browser, configure your settings (pool settings, speed, etc) and save. Then power off the miner, plug in the GPIO ribbon cable to the back plane, connect the backplane to the hashing modules - (make sure all the pins from the back plane connectors are in the right slots - look above and below each pin/connector on each module - plugging in the backplane wrong can short hashing modules which may result in the miner not seeing the module.) Then power on your miner and you should be good to go via the user interface or ssh login.
More to come on that for sure, but that was a quick response with a bit more details for those that receive their kit encase we don't get a video up within the next few days.
OH and what Linux distro is this using? I had hoped to set up powerstat on there for power monitoring on the machine itself.
Does the DIY kit include a Raspberry PI ?
