Have to press the restart button in AxeOS to start hashing #100

When I plug in the power cable to start the bitaxe, the power consumption stays low and the hashing doesn't start. I have to press the restart button in AxeOS every time.

I flashed my bitaxe using the above flash tool and now it is not working. I have always had success from the command line bitaxetool etc ... I guess I have to go back to that.

I have seen the case where the bitaxe doesn't hash very well on startup and requires a restart. but never every time. It's a tough one to debug because it happens so infrequently for me.

@thermosats is this still happening every time for you?
