3. What happened to the GAW Falcon miner? Any chance we can see it soon for sale? Does the halt of sales on the Falcon affects this one too? Seeing that the Falcon and Thunder are almost virtually the same thing.

I bought 4 "27 MH/s Gaw Falcons" from him , i saw a reasonable way to get 120mh/s before the litecoin block halving and i jumped on it.

I got them and they only had 2 power cables each instead of 4.. wtf? something is wrong here. no way is this drinking 1000+ watts through 2 cables. I played with the clock speeds because of lots and lots of hardware errors and eventually dropped it to 248, I figured out what i had, also realized it meant 40mh/s less than i was hoping for total. I told him they did not hash as advertised, got an apology and he had no clue that it was a possibly different miner and he felt bad that i did not get what i was expecting, and nothing else.

He locked the falcon thread and set up shop on e-bay, I somehow now doubt his sincerity. I'm surprised this isn't locked yet.

A reasonable guess for stopping sales of the falcons is a clumsy attempt at damage control. if he handled this better, i wouldn't be posting.

The miners i got hash @ 20mh/s , they draw 500 watts of power each cannot clock over 248 without a lot of hardware errors.

There is a 1.1v sticker on the hashing boards of all four miners that i bought from him. So that confirms these units are identical to a Zeus Thunder x6

He, or someone he works with is selling his machines here

http://www.ebay.com/sch/coinseller88/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692 and they hash @ 20mh/s, wow!

you will find some of the same photos used in the gaw falcon thread, also a card that says keegan_betarigs on one of the miners for sale by that seller.

So I received the two I ordered and found a couple of capacitors "fallen off" the boards. Possibly some in-transit damage, who knows. I found enough rolling around in the cases to repair one of the miners by soldering them back on though I'm 2 short of being able to "fix" the second one. At first the one that I was able to repair was mining ~12MH/s but after setting the dip switches (all off on the first board, #4 "on" on the second board, #3 "on" on the third board, and #2 "on" on the fourth board, it's hashing away ~28-30MH/s with < 5% HW errors. I guess this is close enough to being as advertised. Though I really need to figure out the capacitance values of the missing caps so I can order some to get that other miner going.

TLDR; try playing with your dip switches a bit, I counted board 1 as the first coming in from the USB port.
