Re: [3600 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers
I'm still having issues. I tried hitting the restart proxy button on the bitfury screen. it didn't make any difference. I'll let things run for a day incase it manages to fix itself. I need to shut it down tomorrow to add a couple of more cards so it will get a reboot then if all else fails.
For my BF rigs, I need to restart the proxy, then stop the miner, wait 30 secs, then restart the miner.
ssh in and look at the error rates coming each chip from the /run/shm/.stat.log file. If the errors are high from the beginning, they don't seem to settle down as the hashrate ramps up. In that case, start and stop the miner again until you get a clean startup.
Re: [3600 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers
Try resetting your stats if your speed is showing up very low. I know Bitfury is one of the many ASICs that is complete garbage in its firmware, which means it's not good at handling server disconnects. There have been a few server restarts over the last few hours (switching to new software, new software crashing and restarting, and then switching back to the old software after it had crashed).
on the site, my hashrate is now rising. it is 166 and climbing. maybe i had trouble during one of the restarts. I've don nothing on my end, just watching.
2 of my BF rigs dropped offline this afternoon as well. Could not re-connect to US stratum server. After rebooting / restarting stratum proxy etc I was finally able to get connected to the EU server.
Re: [3200 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers
I thought eleuthria never sleeps?
I'm still only able to connect on the EU server. My Dad who is connected and hashing on the US server was going to update his firmware but I told him not to since he may not be able to re-connect after his reboot. Just a little nervous, that's all since this never happened to me before.

Me too. One of my BF rigs suddenly does not like the US server. EU server is OK though.
Strange.
I don't give a damn about that link. I'm more interested in "forced refund" reports from the wild, to see if we can establish a pattern. If I understand things correctly, they seem to be performing "force refunds" mainly on US-based customers that paid in BTC? Are there any others instances?
Another data point. Canadian customer. Requested BTC refund on my own terms. HF release NOT signed.
USD refund received today via FEDEX for 2 BJ orders (5600+210+5%=$6100 each). Upgrade kits were not refunded.

Do BitFury rigs overclock well? Is it reasonable to expect 500 GH? Are they reliable? I read a good number of horror stories on this thread from folks who had a lot of trouble getting all 16 boards to work correctly due to board wobble and poor connections. Does the SD card still get corrupted when the machine is powered off?
Yes, yes (510-515), and yes.
To prevent wobble order a really nice case from spotswood: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267713.0
The newer kits have the v3 m-board with newer chain miner software, which includes a proper shutdown button on the web interface. Otherwise ssh into the device and issue a 'sudo halt' to cleanly shutdown the RPi. No corruption.
Seems I spoke too soon, USPS made another attempt (After saying they were returning it!) and it went through, and I also received an email confirmation that they received it.
Same here. Just received a confirmation from Erin that my refund request has been received (both email and paper).
+1 for 'doxing' on a separate thread.
Like they wouldn't accept anything but their form?
That's what Erin is saying:
Thank you for your email. We have very much appreciated your patience. At this time, we are only able to process refunds that accompany the attached form, that you should have received yesterday evening.
Please fill out the attached form, scan, and attach in reply to this email and we will be happy to expedite your refund.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Erin

'MANNAN' @ reception.
Your amount of refund will be the same as the USD amount shown below and in your order confirmation. Our products were purchased based on the purchase price stated in USD. We accepted payment in Bitcoin and other currencies as a convenience to our customers. For the great majority of our Batch 1 customers, we never received Bitcoin, but instead received USD from our payment processor, BitPay, and used the money to pay our suppliers and costs. Most early customers received a preferable exchange rate that reduced our revenue by 8%-10%. We also have customers that have paid in Bitcoin when the exchange rate was far higher than it is today, so our approach to providing refunds in USD is not a policy designed only to benefit us.
Didn't they provide a bitcoin address for some customers to send direct bitcoin payments not using BitPay? cedivad (or others who will sue their asses) don't forget to tell that to a judge. I don't know how many paid using BitPay, but i'm sure that not all batch 1 customers did it.
I paid with a direct BTC address, not bitpay.
Anyone has an SD image for V1/V1.2 boards with something other then chainminer?
(I can host it for others.)
Kind of getting sick of hashrate drop on certain pools even after setting proxy to restart every 10min.
Thanks

Instead of restarting the proxy, try restarting the miner every 3-4 hrs.
This has fixed weird dropouts on BTCGuild that would occur randomly once every 24-36hrs, despite proxy restarts.
Code:
0 */3 * * * sudo /opt/bitfury/start-miner.sh

You will upvote, right?

Done.
Is this the good news you alluded to earlier?
Payment received here too. Thx.
I guess that I should have read the thread before mining here. So the automatic and manual payouts aren't working for anyone since...?
no its worse, manual is also not working
i switched to http://doge.cryptoculture.net/
I moved to dogehouse.org
1% fee, bigger pool with 2.5GH total at the moment. Seems to be working well.
Just saw the 30m average for the pool speed top 100Th! 
Congrats James! Nice milestone for the pool
You give me questions, I give them questions and try to be the go-between and get your answers.
Tacotime,
When I placed my early batch 1 order, the Dec 31st clause did not exist. It was added later.
Regardless, by law, they are required to issue a refund if requested, as we have prepaid for a product that has not shipped, and is late. I have politely requested a refund, by email, and I received a response from Hashfast denying that request.
Why are they breaking the law?
Well, I got an answer for the suggestion for upgrading the BJs orders into sierras:
It's the same exact email i got.BS... bs everywhere.
Signed by their ceo, right? I even lost time replying.
Ok, i will move on legally.
Cedivad,
I emailed Hashfast politely requesting a refund. My request was denied.
Thanks for posting the link to the FTC consumer complaints form. It took less than 5 minutes to complete.
I encourage anyone else who has been denied a refund request to file an FTC complaint.

Variance a killer again today.
Time scales are important in mining. If you are looking at the daily, even weekly timescales, you'll be depressed A LOT. Bad stuff (long round) always takes longer than good stuff (short rounds)... so we can have the bad stuff for a good while, and still come out to 100% at the end after 10x diff increase. The pool has already done this.
If you really wants to reduce variance, use the invite feature and get other large miners to mine with us. The benefits of the pool are clear. Stability, no fee, best graphs and charts of any pool on the planet, and the operator keeps your coins as safe as possible, aka, backed up, never on a live server, cold storage, etc.
I'm with you on all that.
Maybe you should start selling block eruptors
Should we all buy some rabbit's feet or something? We have to be the unluckiest group of people around!
Variance a killer again today. 10hr round and counting. But boy was it nice a few days ago with nearly 20 blocks in a 24hr timeframe.
