S11 owners.... Use this firmware (original) and you will have much better hash rates registered in your mining pools and your units wont be continually trying to optimize.

I am running this firmware on my s11 and it is performing at 4.25 TH/s with better hash rates to the pool.

This quote is exactly the thinking of someone not seeing a bubble.

Prices DO NOT ALWAYS GO UP..... I invite you to  look at 2008 housing bubble in the US if you need to study any economics.

Received my S11 and it is mining @ 100%

Shopping experience: 1 star (out of 10) Innosilicon

Bitmain 8 star (out of 10) --- as compared to what.... and YES  I was hoping for an alternative.

Interesting new bit of information here....

The S11 units appear to have a new firmware available dated April 28 2018

I wonder if they are needing to flash units after they realized they originally shipped out with Halong SW installed rather than their own UX?


Just a thought....

INNOSILICON HAS STILL NOT SHIPPED THE UNIT

I have had my phantom tracking ID since Saturday, April 28, 2018 at 21:30 and have discussed with DHL to which DHL stated they have no physical package at all.

@Inno claims DHL is slow to insert into their systems yet DHL clearly shows this statement on their tracking page:

No need to call Customer Service – our online results give you real-time, detailed progress as your shipment speeds through the DHL network.

So according to that address they were mining since 2018-04-04 19:40 UTC and made 108,351.33 SC that day.... that sure is a long test drive to me.

Agreed not Amazon but... at the least like Bitmain? (competitor)

First pay, first served! as they claim doesn't actually play out here at all.

You have asked for this information regarding my order.

My order number is:   S11INNO2018042205

Your team has told me via email that DHL had the package and to contact DHL. When i contacted DHL they said no package was submitted.  When I then contacted your team with this information they then said it was with the forwarders.

Someone is telling lies and misleading and I don't think it's DHL.

I also find it very suspect that the hashrate for SIA is still high (unchanged in fact) considering you were/are testing these (2k units+) .... for QA purposes...... of course.

INNOSILICON HAS STILL NOT SHIPPED THE UNIT

Paid, confirmed etc....

Tracking number issued (created online by Innosilicon says DHL) on April 28th 2018

Tracking number says still in Hong Kong

Emailed Innosilicon with tracking number and they state DHL has it.

Phoned DHL and asked whats going on....

DHL states Innosilcon failed to bring the package(s) for delivery to DHL on April 28th and have yet to bring them the package.

DHL states they do not have the package as of May 03 2018 (GMT -8)  11:03 am

Summary:

Money/crypto accepted and confirmed with a phantom online tracking number that hasn't had any package physically delivered or associated with it.

INNOSILICON HAS NOT SHIPPED THE UNIT

$9.99 CAD  a sheet (4ftx4ft) 1/4 inch

I built the outdoor box rig under a covered deck....

Works incredibly well except my issue was being able to bring enough power to the box under the covered deck as compared to the 2/30 A @240V I have in the garage.

Now I vent into the attic with 1250 cfm fan @ 90Watts and have filtered venting on my garage door.

Working quite well thus far with 30 GPU.

Need to change the thread title to Nebulous/Obelisk donations only and you get a doorstop in return. A t-shirt if you're lucky

From my reading of Taek42's posts (sia dev)

Obelisk is unstable at 0.5V and stability is found at 0.6V delivering a 2.25 GH/w (833 GH total +/- 5%)

Ask and it will be:

My only thoughts on motive  for Bitmain would be to attempt to pull the rug out and prevent another potentially competing hardware ASIC vendor from entering the market.

It's not over until it's over....

From SIA developers regarding Bitmain Asics...

We prepared for something like this by adding an extra feature to the SC1. We can do a soft-fork that slightly changes the PoW algorithm which would invalidate the bitmain ASICs, but allow the SC1 units to continue working.

Let the games begin!

Found more vaporware

IMHO:

It appears some want the Obelisk presale to fail and are claiming they have units but unfortunately or not.... are all sold out LOL

Weak counter marketing... really?

Fake news!

Adding: 5 mins after I posted I see they now have availability ..... I don't buy it.
