u mean "at all"?? because they wont run at all without asicboost. They only mine 1 coin on select pools. folks cant miner ne other coins when they use these things.

Going by the spec of the stratum extensions it's possible to fall back to reduced version-rolling or no version-rolling. I didn't know the DragonMint won't do that. So they just refuse to mine then?


these miners werent made like s9's. asicboost cant be turned on and off like the s9's can. they require asicboost period. multiple people have posted about this including me in the many pages so far. unfortunately the so called "trusted" members ignore these posts so other folks dont consider them valid. This is why they were only able to mine on 2 pools when they came out. adding another pool doesnt change the fact that u can only mine 1 coin and it requires asicboost.

i should also add that if bitmain advertised any of their s9's with 20% boosted specs because of asicboost i would say the same thing i have been sayin. My views on the shadiness of how halong handled this wont ever change and should apply to every company in the future. however no one can say bitmain did the same sort of thing to ne of them. bitmain listed specs and thats the base spec of the miner nothin more nothin less. we can agree their miners hash at spec all the time depending on the psu used and the variations to the specs r within the numbers they give. ONTOP of that they provide refunds and coupons to customers that did get shorted. Those r the marks of a trusted company. Theres a reason they r the largest out there. Do i agree with everything?? fuckkkkk no but when set side by side bitmain hasnt done the shit halong has done to their customers right after sending machines out. Right outta the gate halong  dropped the ball on every single customer. thats a huge deal!!!! if bitmain did that they would lose cred with all of us but what happens to halong?? halong has 0 cred with the community....they have 0 history with ne thing....so they have no cred to lose lol. its like they r doomin the company from the start. thats what greed gets u unfortunately.

Again, this isn't technical problem. The changes to any pool software to support ASICboost are nearly trivial and don't infringe on any patents. Just ask any pool manager, the same way philima1957 did.

ur not understanding...u cant go mine peercoin with these machines. u cant go mine bch with these things. u cant go mine a new coin that comes out tomorrow (idk of ne but lets say one dropped tomorrow). ur stuck mining btc only with no choice. ur also limited to 3 pools now. if the pool turned off asicboost support right now all of the dragonmints would die. understand now??

That still doesnt excuse the fact that this is a Bitcoin Classic miner only. It cannot mine ANY other sha256d algo. They also didnt mention that until months after pre-order. After all the defensive shills talking about how great this company is, it brings me a small perverse pleasure to see all of these problems with the company popping up already. Shipping delays, hardware cancellation after a preorder, trying to force authorized distributors to sell machines that are out of spec. Man this company sure seems like they are gonna save us from the 'evil' bitmain and their as advertised on time products lmao

I genuinely feel bad for these folks. what im more annoyed about r the "trusted" members that talked down to me and made my comments seem like they r invalid. They couldnt and wouldnt argue against them...it felt like how folks in politics say minorities r bein kept down and when i say im not holdin ne one back and instead of tryin to dispute my claim they flat out call me racist or a nazi (im a jew btw which is kinda funny since isnt assumin race also a form of racism??). yet when many more folks including ones from associated companies r posting info that kinda destroys the dragonmint image so early in its founding those very same trusted members are no where to be found. Even more interesting are the situations where they were calling these things vaporware but after getting free machines or special stuff their views changed to one that defends the company and their bizz practices.

i still havent seen ne thing being offered to the customers that got duped by this whole asicboost/pool restriction/out of spec mining situation. claiming 16th/s when the base speed is technically about 20% less is false advertising. they knew what they were doing with their wording but they pushed on ne way. customers should be lining to get partial refunds for hardware not delivered on time and that isnt mining to specs posted by them. remember guys....u didnt post the specs. u didnt determine what the miner would hash at and u werent a part of the design/dev of the miners so y r u guys so accepting of the kick to the nutz u have been given?? u overpaid for the machines and they have under delivered and lied to ur faces. stand up for yourselves people!
