Ok this is new. I'm getting 2 errors i never saw before. When i start cgminer i get an error something like "reset error.this is not an avalon (0:0:0...) and this is when i stop cgminer

Quote
WTF MUTEX ERROR ON LOCK! errno=0 in driver-avalon.c avalon_flush_work():1549

reinstalled zadig drivers but the same. fortunately they still hash. are my boards dieing already?

Edit: I think it has something to do with cgminer, because using 3.6.6 doesn't give me those errors.

And one of my boards makes a clicking sound. What's with that?

We (those who wanted a refund) chose that in good faith upon the promise of a 50% return. Had it been known otherwise, keeping the orders active would have at least resulted in getting a miner(s) and being able to recoup SOMETHING.

The problem I have is that 50% should not be difficult to return, especially with the talent that burnin possesses. I see no reason he couldn't build enough "personal" miners to generate BTC and pay those of us back that requested it due to the good faith gesture put forth by burnin and cryptx.

Personally I think YiFu should be held responsible for all the BS that he created and continues to rattle through the ASIC mining world; but that would mean accepting consequences for one's actions - something that doesn't seem to happen anymore in this world.

Yes I knew it was a risk and I only invested what I spare. However a promise was made. If all parties had come back and said, "Tough luck, no refunds kiddies." I would not have been happy, but at least I would know where I stand.

the CAN BUS cable doesn't seem to work either, both boards alone is fine, but when connected and each board has been terminated...

I can't get mine to work with 1 usb cable either...  Alone they mine fine.

Anyone get multiple boards mining with 1 usb cable on windows?  Any secret?  Does your PC recognize them as separate miners, or just 1?

My machines will work for hours and then say

"AvalonTask usb write_err:<-7> LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT"
"usb_write error on avalon_write"
"BTB0: Comms error"

Any ideas?, running cgminer 3.7, XP, and i used zadig

I have to powercycle before cgminer can see the machines again

I think you can reinstall zadig instead of powercycle to see your boards again. Try a different usb port or maybe upgraded cgminer (latest is 3.7.2 right now)

I hate to be discouraging, but it might not be worth your time. Neither asic-hardware (cryptx) nor burnin bother responding to any emails having to do with refunds now, so you might start looking for other forms of recourse, whatever that may be.

that's funny when burnin is online on localbitcoins, selling coins like he has them floating around the house.

eh?

Shouldn't he?

He needs to get the money for the refunds somewhere, huh? And if he got paid in Bitcoin, right now is the time to make money of them, considering that they are around 300$ right now Cheesy

Are you plugged directly in or into a hub? I had that problem and swapping it with a different USB hub fixed it.

Currently im plugged straight in, no hubs at all.

Also when i first start CGMiner, even though it will work for hours after saying this.
"usb transfer read err:<-9> LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE"

Thanks gain !

I am no longer willing to excuse this at all. Once you stop providing responses in email or at least a status update to point to, all faith is gone. I lodged a complaint with BitPay, who said they will not resolve disputes, but they do log complaints. I will further investigate what legal remedies I can avail myself of in Germany this week.

If burnin or cryptx have something to say about the refunds, let it be soon and substantive, or prepare for the consequences of leaving your customers high and dry. Better than saying something, just do the refunds.

chrxn

It depends how he paid. Burnin appears to have submitted a list or something to PayPal of who has requested a refund. These people appear to have been refunded mid-Oct as promised. For people who paid by Bitpay or t/t it's a whole other story tho.

In my case apparently, they didnt even know that i want a refund.
So maybe it's worth the 5 minutes needed to make a account

But i think he refund slowly with the money he earn
BTC raise could help if he sold some...
Because i guess, if refund i got, it's in € right ? or in bitcoin ? ( i paid in bitcoin )

I have no account on asic-hardware.com
Just one on burninMining.

What happen exactlly ? Did he sold is business to  other people ?

I dont get why some bitcoins i give him are hold by someone else

You should have received an email back in Sept that reads:

Quote
Dear valued customers,
 
There has been very little communication from me over the last few days, because the development
 of the BitFury boards takes up all of my time.
 I had to prioritize this over refund processing, because the Bitfury chips are expected to be delivered soon.
 
Now to the important part:
 My new main distributor is CryptX aka asic-chips.com.
 Their new site for complete hardware sales will be www.asic-hardware.com.
 We have agreed that they will take over my end-user sales.
 CryptX will also take over the refund processing and automate it.
 I will transfer the orders that have not been completed or refunded yet and my customer database to them.
 After transfer of the database you can log on to their site and you will have three options:
 1. You convert existing orders that have not been refunded yet to Bitfury product orders.
 The 70% partial refund will be deducted from your final order price.
 2. You choose to get the 50%, later hopefully 70% partial refund.
 3. Keep your order.
 
If you have any objection to the transfer of your information to CryptX, please
 let me know by sending an email with the subject line:
 'Opt out of database transfer'
 You have 24 hours before the transfer, requests received later will be deleted on their side.
 

Cheers
 Martin

Did you go to asic-hardware.com and change your order to "marked for refund"?

According to cryptx, it's burnin's responsibility to provide the 50% refunds. I am waiting to hear from burnin on this matter. Either they didn't communicate cohesively who was going to provide refunds, or someone isn't being honest with us.

WHAT'S WITH THE REFUNDS?

Did cryptx pay the reward to burnin yet? Burnin stated he only can move forward with refunds when cryptx paid him. He even couldnt pay the assembler for the last boards yet.
So i guess the question has to be directed to cryptx.

And cryptx respond this...

We had no intention to communicate through forum posts about internal affairs with Burnin.

We did not receive any answer by Burnin in days about financial matters (still waiting for his invoices + we already paid ~65% through discounts)
Now we are held responsible for undelivered promises by Burnin through a forum post.
We are very dissapointed about this to say the least.
