From the web management page, you should be able to dig around and find some extra details on each blade... one of those should give you a hint as to which one is acting up and why.  If you can't track it down, let me know via PM/email and we'll figure it out.  If you do figure out it, please post the answer here in case anyone else has this issue.

TSMC can deliver 5-8week tapeout to chip ship assuming a hot/superhot, and nobody huge steals their place in line.  It sounds like they've built in no buffer for unexpected events, but the timeline doesn't seem out of place.

Tape-out is the final step of the physical design stage, and is used to move on to mask creation at the foundry.

Thanks for the info.  I really really hate leaving negative trust, so I'm glad to see he didn't just walk away.  Hopefully he'll post updates as a reply to this thread, so we can all get a watch notifications.

That's good to hear.  Do we have a status update on the delivery of the replacement miners, or are they still MIA?  I was holding on requesting a refund since I thought they would deliver.  At this point, all I want is a status update.

+1.  BoA has really started screwing with bitcoin related accounts. 

All of this information looks correct to me.  My only caveat is the Bank of America intermediary for the wire.  I've had BoA shut down entire business accounts for bitcoin activity.  So, he may have actually had issues with the wire.

Regardless, we've got a number people out a lot of money, and JointDoctor is 2 weeks missing with no products delivered.

Did you put in a valid DNS server entry (8.8.8.8 for example)?  I've also noticed you have to reboot the entire machine after you change a network setting.

Units shipped on time.  Tracking has been sent.  It looks like all units are out for delivery today.

I *am* getting a little nervous about JD.  I hope he reappears soon, and gives us some explanations.  I dislike leaving negative trust.

I bought one, but haven't heard from him since the 20th. Ive sent him a PM. I wasn't going to start worrying until late next week.

Alright, closing up shop for these units.  Thanks for everyone's interest and orders.

Shipping expected today.  I will post tracking info as soon as I receive it from China.

Group Buy closing in 8 hours.  This will be my last group buy for these units.

Still no word on blinking LCD.  Polish customs is still being a pain.  All other orders delivered.  Waiting on spare blade for Suave to arrive.

Alright, I've received some feedback from the factory on the blinking LCD issues, and it sounds like it's not a big deal in this case.

Suave posted some temperature numbers he retrieved from within the monitoring software yesterday, that looked like this: 58-52-46-44-58-80-57-65.  The engineer said it looks like a bad temperature sensor, not a bad chip, especially if the unit was still hashing.  Even if it's running at 80C, this is 'within spec' for the v1.2 boards, according to them, and is nothing to worry about.

I'm still trying to find a way to disable the blinking, but until then, if the unit is hashing consistently, the LCD alarm is a cosmetic issue where they forgot to move a temperature check set point in the RPi firmware.

For now, make sure you keep that unit cool. The units are supposed to be good for 60-90C, but the flashing LCD is a heat warning.

Anybody having weirdness with their LCD?  I'm trying to track down a problem, but the vendor is non-responsive at 3am China time.  One unit has an LCD that is blinking Red/White on the LCD, and it's a bit unnnerving.  If anyone has some insight before China wakes up, it'd be appreciated.

I appreciate everyone's patience and support during this process.  Despite the warnings in the sticky, you can't really be prepared for the insanity that is a group buy without having done one before.  The added flavor of a 'creative' vendor definitely made for an exciting first group buy.

At this point, all but two shipments have been delivered.  One shipment is being held hostage by Polish customs due to the lack of CE mark on these units, and the other shipment is for MWNinja, which had been squirreled away in Hong Kong customs for reasons unknown.  While I'm not certain if there is anything we can do about the CE requirements, we did manage to chase the other shipment onto a plane earlier today.

I've already started the discussion with the vendor regarding the false advertising.  The units may have delivered the promised 1TH, but there's a big difference between 900W and 1150W.  That said, I don't have high hopes for any sort of positive response.  I'll keep you posted.

Aside from the continuing group buys for these units as they race to the bottom, I have other projects in the works for the future.  Any positive Trust you're willing to leave on my profile would be invaluable.  

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
