Are the H-cards even in stock?

Was hoping to fill out my starter kit but at that price point... yikes.

Dave,

I still have not received my mining payment for my August Order #149?
Why the hold up?  A lot of people with higher order numbers than mine already received theirs.

I already emailed sales/accounts/PMed you (many times!!!).  

Thanks,
Peter

In my last correspondence with Yvonne I was told "here is some issue with a server or some such technical thing so he will make another attempt shortly". I would really like to resolve this now.

For those of you still waiting for August order kits refunds for late delivery, I just got email from Kat, saying that Dave plans to do refunds by the end of the month.  I'm assuming it is end of this month. 

Order#149 - "August" Starter kit

Thanks,
af_newbie

End of the month? I'm struggling to understand how distributing 1.25 BTC across 32 orders is requiring months of work. SebastianJu refunded 100's of customers in one day. Come on Dave, just send the payments.

The weekend came and went without a BTC refund for the delayed August orders. We are just a few days sort of a month waiting.

[WTS] Bitfury Starter Kit /w V 2.1 M-Board 35 GH/s

Looking to sell one of my MBP Bitfury Starter Kits /w Version 2.1 M-Board for 11.5 BTC.

The included H-card runs stable at 35 GH/s with errors less than 4%. I am located in Canada and would prefer to ship to Canada to keep costs low for all involved. I'll throw in two DC fans so you can run it overclocked right out of the box.

It will be a few weeks until Megabigpower ships the rest of its units so get ahead while you can. If we settle today I can run down to the post office and get it in the mail today. Would prefer sale to be completed via escrow (SebastianJu).

By now I've sent all the BTC payouts to those starter kit holdouts that gave us a payment address.  

I sent my address but did not receive a payment. I'll send it again right now.

Still waiting on a refund..

Me too - been 10 days now - After multiple email megabigpower.com keeps telling me that my refund is coming - they say Dave wants to do all refunds at once... I'm getting concerned now.  Huh

Has any one been given a figure on the refund? 10+ days since the initial email from Dave.

Just took a look at the results from 12+ hours of logging yesterday after pulling chainminer v1.2. The board looks quite stable and error rates dropped significantly (~1% over the entire peroid). I'm looking at 36 GH/s sustained over long periods just dc fans and no heat sinks. I've manually clocked all chips at 54 and have not noted any benefit in using the auto feature in v1.2. Now someone push the board up to 40 Wink


how are you making that sort of log? Im moving to manual tuning now, since most chips are stable at 54/55 with 1% errors and 36Ghash/37Ghash-nonce.

if it runs well for the next few hours i will consider moving the resistance from 1.178 to 1.165 (before it gave me issues, but that was prior to chainminer update)

Send Isokivi a tip for saving you the headache.

I just received mine today!...but i paid $111 custom fees Embarrassed
need to start running it....

To Canada?  They have to mark them as "prototype sample PCB" or usually you'll have to pay fees

They are marked as motherboards and taxed at 100%. I paid $110 on mine as well.

So everyone who got late Aug. shipments received the compensation email?
I am not sure if i was missed or need to wait longer?



Emails were sent but they did not give a specific amount for compensation. I emailed them last thursday as the email stated and have not heard anything back.

Kit #1:   3 cards:
1: 30.609GH/s
9: 31.339GH/s
13: 29.335GH/s

Kit#2:  2 cards:
Bank 1
1: 30.723GH/s
9: 30.093GH/s

i penciled the resistor to about 1230ohms.

Should I have done that or go lower?

I was able to do 1.18k Ohm... I've been steady at around 33Gh/s.

I tuned down to 1.165k, getting around 35Ghash, and 33Ghash/noncerate at the pool. Amazingly, chip #13 which was running at ~300mhash with tons of errors now works just fine.

I had a similar issue with one chip on an h-card. When I changed the resistance to 1.2k the chip went from ~0.100 to 2.000. That said I did need to clock it lower than the rest of the chips to achieve a reasonable error rate. At 53 it throws about 4% errors.

Has anyone received an email from Dave for the compensation for the late Aug. deliveries?

Yes but it did not include any details on how much we'd receive for either option.

"Hello and thanks for your patience while we sorted out our supply issues for starter kit M-boards.

Now that the kits have all shipped out for August delivery purchases, I need to send you the coin we mined on your behalf during the period your hardware was delayed.

Please follow these instructions carefully in order to insure you get paid.

#1 Please don't reply to this email - Yvonne is collecting payment addresses and organizing them for me.
#2 Send your BTC payment address *from the email on your account* - please make sure to follow this one.  If your payment address arrives from any other email, we will ignore it.  Send the payment address to sales@megabigpower.com
#3 You can choose store credit if you prefer.  I'll give an extra BTC of store credit value to anyone who chooses this option.

Thanks again for all your patience and support through our August ship cycle!  We learned a lot and plan to leverage that experience to improve our October shipfest coming soon.

All the best and thank you so much for being customers!
Dave Carlson

Anyone get a specific number for their BTC refunding on an August order? I got an email saying I could take BTC or store credit but it does not say how much either option would involve...

Download nmap (nmap.org/dist/nmap-6.40-setup.exe) and do a ping scan on 192.168.1.* to see if the RPi is even on the address you are trying to ssh into (192.168.1.249). Either that or check in your router to see exactly what IP it assigned to it. It may not be the static IP you mentioned. Mine auto assigned a different IP to the RPi.

says there is an unknown OS on the ip 192.168.1.249, and my gateway is 192.168.1.1

the RPi seems to refuse SSH connection, rather than simply not being found

   Did you try to use IE with 192.168.1.249

chrome and IE both fail to connect to it (but fail faster [1-2sec] than if i entered some unused ip that takes 5-10 seconds to fail the ping attempt)

   Did you check anything used same ip address in you router.

ps: happened to me my playbook also used 192.168.1.249

changed the cmdline.txt file to be ip=192.168.1.240  and tried again. same result. Chrome quickly finds the device at that ip address, but returns "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.240". SSH attempts are faced with "connection refused"

what am i doing wrong? Ive wasted hours of downtime, driven myself insane, and am going to bed knowing that I won't be able to do anything until tomorrow evening at the earliest (24hrs from first plugging in my unit!) Does Punin have a different SD image i can try, maybe buzzdave's upload is no good?

When I used the cmdline.txt trick I ran a cable directly between the rpi and the laptop. Did you try that?
