Title: [WTB] KNC Mercury or the like... UK only
Post by: squall1066 on May 03, 2015, 02:38:16 PM
Hiya, I am looking for a small stand alone sha256 mining hardware for a test, I believe the smallest standalone unit was the mercury?

I am not interested in "setups" that Has to be built, I need everything in one unit, I do not consider stackable cards with a R-Pi to be one unit.

Let me know what you got.

UK preferably.


Also might be interested in any standalone Scrypt hardware, Nothing big, I do not need 300MHs! (not sure if they ever made smaller units)

EDIT sorry for the delay (Again lol) this is now closed, i have decided against this line of thought, Thanks to all who responded.

Antminer S1 is standalone.  These can be had pretty cheap.

Have 3x antminer S1 including 750w PSU for each of them all configured and ready to mine plug play job done.

Also in UK can provide pictures of equipment and in working order.

Each S1 is mining around 200GH rock solid.

PM me with offer for units can sell without PSU also

hiya, sorry for delay, I responded to a few PM's but I have not foind what I am looking for.

I really want to avoid S1's 180GHs for 320W is not what I need. I wanted something under 100W but around or under 1W/Ghz

How low can a S3 be clocked down? Stable?

Am I being too picky?  ::)

Antminer S1 can be tuned down.  Comes real close to 1W/GH.  The mod can be done with a pencil and patience.

I think that the best option for you is something like BlackArrow Prospero X1, it's a 100 Gh standalone unit, come with it's own psu, and power efficence is arround 1w/gh , about the price, it depends on the model, you can find pretty cheap units without LCD, with LCD become more expensive, if you want i have one to sell, but i'm in Spain, so i don't know if you will be interested :)
