Miner arrived today as claimed by pcfli. This thing screams like a jet engine, and weighs as much as one.

Will have to replace with something quieter, and I thought the Antminers were loud.

Also, for US people, have a spare PSU AC cord rated at 10A or greater for a 1000W PSU, the original AC cord is China CPCS-CCC (Type I). Luckily I had an extra EVGA Gold 1000W PSU not being used, so I used the cord from that.

Interface is all in Chinese, but luckily when on, the front screen tells you its local LAN IP. Thank GOD for Google Translate, I had it configured and hashing in less than 5 minutes once but pcfli supplied documentation beforehand.

Hashing at 1Th/s as claimed on Eligius:

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1JcW46otG6dFXMus3snVMTu6pZoymmS8uE

I will post pics and a full review later today.

All you need to do to change to english is change a single PHP file on the pi

can you post more info on how to do this? links, etc.

Thank you
While you can change a single PHP file to make the interface in english there were a lot more problems than that present. For one there is not autostart/autorestart and the cgminer process was started directly from the php button(BAD). I ended up completely overhauling the interface based off of some other cgminer php UI files floating around https://github.com/jameshilliard/28nm-www . Whoever made the stock GUI and pi image did not really know what they were doing IMO.

Prochedure:
ssh into raspberry pi using the IP on the screen or an ip scanner, its IP should be between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254
default username is "pi" and default password is "raspberry"
you can either use sudo to make these changes or just make a root account
To make a root account:
Code:
sudo su root
passwd
then enter your password
you can then use a GUI tool such as winscp to move files around
copy or clone my git repo to /var/www
you will then need to place the startup scripts and other files in the right places
simply follow the matching paths for my var opt and etc folders from the root directory and place those files in their respective folders
you will need to chmod all of those files in var opt and etc to 755
you will probably need to chmod /var/www recursively to 777
you will then need to run:
Code:
sudo update-rc.d S99cgminer start
you will probably get an error but it will still work after this command
From there you will see the new webui with minersource in the top left hand corner.
Please submit a pull request if you come up with any improvements, I hacked this together in about 12 hours so I'm sure I missed some stuff. Currently it will not set a webui password properly, although you couldn't do that to begin with, that should be an easy fix but I just haven't had the time to go through it. I haven't figured out how to get the IP to update on the screen either with the UI I made.

This thread is too funny! Thanks to Matt Carson and Matt X, I now offer up the follow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=294197.msg4884523#msg4884523

As an added bonus, for those asking themselves "Who the hell is James Hilliard?", perhaps I can help, albeit there's only one tiny caveat: It'll cost you $5,000 USD via BTC if you don't know how to use Google. Simply hit me up via a PM, whereupon I'll provide you a bitcoin wallet address to pay me that $5,000, then I'll share with you some startling information that will just blow your ass away. It's such a small price to pay, especially for those that may have pre-orders at some other unnamed site (hint) and desire to be first on its refund list, in which case saving you perhaps tens of thousands of dollars more.

Since I'm such a good guy, even though Matt X has demanded you all put me on ignore, I'll share the following for free: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:eCD_qOXvJF8J:www.updown.com/member/borito4/networks+&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

For those who know how to Google hop, the James Hilliard connection is not too far away. For those who don't, 5Gs via BTC. Trust me, you'll come way ahead if you pay me for the info if you can't find it yourself. And, for those who do find it, please keep it to yourself, for it's time for me be make bank after all I've done for free, then take it up the ass from those that later turned out to be scammers. The pattern is exactly the same here with Black Arrow. Make no mistake.

I'm putting my reputation on the line with this one, while Matt X only has his throwaway pseudonym at risk.

James Hilliard!!! Remember that name.

So, is cancelling and getting a refund from Minersource at all possible?

I say yes, and the following is how I came to that conclusion.

Damn! Nothing to really see there. And I thought I was on to something. Oh, well! Shit happens!

Moving on, forgetting about the above, for it's clearly a dead end...

Well, that was totally unexpected. On top of that, it looks vaguely familiar, but where I have seen... OMFG! Surely not! Yeap, it is! It matches the Whois of https://www.dzminercoop.com/.



This revelation could only mean one thing! Matt Carson will refund, because...

Ergo, any Bitcoiner having the ability to convince other bitcoiners that he can be trusted because he vetted himself WILL most definitely refund any other Bitcoiner who has ordered from him with no questions asked, and in a timely fashion. Simply ask! Isn't that right, Matt X Matt Carson?

Question: How many of you bitcoiners that ordered miners from Black Arrow or through Matt Carson's venerable site are going to wait till after the May deadline has past before you request refunds?

As an added bonus, for those asking themselves "Who the hell is James Hilliard?", perhaps I can help, albeit there's only one tiny caveat: It'll cost you $5,000 USD via BTC if you don't know how to use Google. Simply hit me up via a PM, whereupon I'll provide you a bitcoin wallet address to pay me that $5,000, then I'll share with you some startling information that will just blow your ass away. It's such a small price to pay, especially for those that may have pre-orders at some other unnamed site (hint) and desire to be first on its refund list, in which case saving you perhaps tens of thousands of dollars more.

All that said above, now what are the odds that Matt X is closely related to Matt Carson, even though they have clearly already vetted each other?
