MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!!!!!!!

1 for me please!

Merry Christmas!

Does overclocking to anything greater than 350mhz void the warranty ? Is 375mhz acceptable ?

I've been running all of mine stock at 350mhz for energy efficiency reasons, but was thinking about tinkering with this next round.

Hi all,

sushi is currently unavailable. I am now looking after this group buy, however I don't have any addresses from sushi yet... Please wait.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y'ALL

one for me please

Ok. Before elastic band's offer, 29 were reserved. Elasticband wants to order 10 but there only 1 left.

one for me please

There are now 300 units available, per the OP.  Not 30 as was originally planned.  Plenty for all now.

I can't help but think there is usually more available on these GB's than initially shown, so they can test the waters.  ::)  Not complaining though, best value going for in-stock miners.  I have 2 already and these things are rock solid and pretty quiet IMO.

One for me please

I will take one. Merry xmas!

Hello.  Previous customer.  I would like one more please.


Thanks!

Hello,
GB2 owner.  I would like one more please, now without hosting.

Thanks!

One for me please + 3 month hosting!

Merry X-Mas!

Yes....  It will work but may not be stable as Manufacture wants it to be.

1 for me please. Thank you.

I will take 1 or 2.

hi sushi,

thx and meery xmas to all!

1 for me please. thanks!
do you offer any kind of invoice in FIAT? (just for the customs.)

Any chance in hell you take PayPal. I have credit card space but no coin on hand.

for GB3 i send money to some bitcoin trading site and  acquired bitcoins necessary for the payment.

3 units minimum for me please,

I'll take 2 please

I'll take 1 please.

Would I be able to pay tomorrow? Pending purchase should be complete next business day.

2 please

The units in this batch do not come with a PCIE power adapter (from screw type to pcie)?

What are the pros/cons of declaring customs if shipping to the united states?

6.3 paid

TX ID: 8d694097dc21c072f523d30946be63c4fe2a275b522babf7fa39b907467269b9

Form filled out.  Thx!

Sushi, when you get back please let me know if this batch comes with pci-e externder cables. I don't think I can source the proper extenders over the holiday season so if these don't come with them I'm going to pass on this batch. I'd like to get 1 though.

These come with the PCI-E plug!

Custom's Declaration Option:
 $1,900 USD Computer Accessories or
As usual at your own risk

At the risk of sounding like an idiot here but does that apply to US orders? Seems like a big risk. I really want one of these things and I like the price but that's huge.

EDIT: Ok so I am an idiot your saying it's a $1900 declaration not a $1900 tax, man sometimes I need to just slow down.

I would like two more units!

Just one please

I will take one.

I'll take one. Can pay any time in BTC. PM me  ;D

Ok, excellent. As for the $1900 customs value declaration wasn't that always the case?

3.15 bits sent

Thanks !

I am interested in 5.

2 for me please :)

intersted in 1 (email sent)

what about discounts for current owners?

1 for me :)

Question about the hosting option. Will I get access through VPN or something or is it a one time pool setup made on the data center side? What happens after 3months? Will you be able to ship the unit to a designated location when I sell my unit?
What day will the unit be setup 4,5,6th?

I'm living in a 21% tax country so paying $375 for 3 months is indeed cheaper for me.

Cheers

No remote access.  You can tell me to change your pool info. Whenever you decided you want to send the miner to anywhere you like, it will be $50 removal fee + hipping cost to nay place in the world.

1.4 batch, the hosting will start on 1/6 or 1/7 as 4th is Saturday.

Hi Sushi. I'd like another one please.

Hi Sushi, please let one ant money and hosting option.

10 for me please.

Just wondering why is Bitman selling for 1.8 BTC to wholesalers and 3.15 to Sushi ?

 

Yo Sushi put me down for 1 as usual..

2 for me please

I will send the BTC today

EDIT: I buy 2

sorry, 11

3 for me please

I need another for friend Sushi.

1for me please

cant wait to see how the ant preforms

The 1.81BTC units are selling so fast WOW

Are there any left to purchase or to contract out? Thanks.

What 1.81BTC units?

No one has seen Bitmains official Taobao ? He listed 300 units the other day, selling like hot cakes

Can you please provide a link for folks that have no clue what you're talking about?  :)

Are you talking about the Chinese store? Is sushi marking these things up from 1.8 BTC to 3.1 BTC?

Good luck

I'll take 6.

Sushi is not selling these.  He runs the GB for Bitmain.  The money goes directly to Bitmain.  Whether Sushi gets a cut or not is his busniess (I hope he does) but he has been incredibly helpful.

I wish but NO.  I am allowed to accept tips to help you guys....  That's why you see my TIPS address everywhere

So please give me some SATOSHI or better yet, more than that!!!   ;D ;D ;D

To be fair on Sushi I think the best thing would be for anyone really wanting to save a buck to find the link there self.

Sushi has done an amazing job last 3 group buys and deserves a lot of hard earned tips.

Hopefully a new price can be matched in the next group buy to match Bitmains sale price.

I will continue to ask a better price!!!   :D

Can someone post a link to the group buy?

It's not a group buy, It's a TaoBao buy research and you will find that pot of gold if you follow the right path  ;D

Anyone they begs it's not real Bitmain even confirmed the page by himself :)

Support Sushi :)

It's kind of difficult for someone who doesn't speak Chinese to find this pot of gold...  :)

I'm scottish and I use google chrome ;)

Well I want to ask a few questions about the contract miners.

Put me down for 5... thanks in advance sushi!

As for taobao, maybe I'm missing something but I just checked (google chrome translate.. I don't know Chinese) and saw prices around RMB 13000-16000 which is about the same as this group buy. 

You mean hosted AntMiners?

This might be a stupid question, but is that a fee on top of the 3.15 BTCs for the miner?

Yes... AntMiner eat up about $60 USD in Power a month. (Depends on where you are at)

Thanks Sushi. This is my first ever group buy so trying to take it slow and steady and ask lots of questions. What is the address I sent payment to?

Not a problem.  If you have questions, ask me before you buy.  I want you to be the happy customers not the grumpy one that said you didn't tell me that...   ;D ;D ;D

I PMed you the payment address

What does "As usual @ your own risk" mean for customs declaration?
I am in the US and am curious of other customers' experience with customs declaration options.

Thanks!

SUSHI!
pls 2 for me.

fireman2

sushi 1 for me please :)

SUSHI!

When I need to pay for hosting?
Who should I pay for hosting?

tell me more )

sushi, I'm not sure if you missed my post expressing my interest in purchashing one but if you did here is a reminder. Please send btc address to send payment to and the link to the google docs form.

I never got a PM either.  I posted last night that I'd like to order one.

Same here.  Not sure if he's still going through the posts, or if he missed some.

1 for me pls.
Thanks

Payment sent and a small tip coming your way sushi..thanks for getting back to me so promptly.

Cheers!

I'll take one please.

sushi

I will take one

mrno12

+1.  Anyone have an answer to this?

This might be worth putting in OP for future GBs (hoping there are future GBs). It just made me wonder when I saw the "As usual @ own risk)

the last 2 units i receeived had marked value of $120 IIRC. this results in lower customs fees but may not be accurate to the current BTC exchange rate

Thanks sushi, .1 BTC tip sent thanks for organizing this

1 unit for canford

Thank you!!!!  Tips help me cover the time lost from not doing my 2nd part-time job!!!

SUSHI

Just to let folks know that the new firmware is out for the miners

https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/tree/master/firmware

Updates:

https://i.imgur.com/TlqlA15.jpg

Cheers

US has 0% duty on computer equipment so this is a non-issue. There might theoretically be an issue with state sales tax.

Sushi,

Can the latest firmware be installed and tested on all units before shipping?

Sushi,

One more for me please for a total of three, Same Wallet as before?

W

Hi Sushi,

Just sent you a 0.05 BTC tip. Thanks for your time organizing this.

I posted in this thread earlier, saying I wanted to buy 3, but I never got a PM. Maybe you missed my post?

I'd actually like to buy a total of 5 of these now (buying a couple more for a friend). Let me know the payment address.

Thanks!

I installed that firmware on one of my antminers and upon first impression I think this newer firmware seems slower. I am thinking it puts a greater strain on the control board. Does anyone know what kind of CPU the control board uses? Is it a tp-link router clone?

Put me down for 1 unit maybe 2 thx.

sushi

put me down for one more


mrno12

1 for me.

Payment made and form filled! (o:
PM sent!!

Put me down for 3 more.. thanks!

Sushi, I'll take 3, please, with 3-Month Hosting.

Sushi, I still haven't received the replacement cable so my current miner hasn't been in use since I got it.  You said you sent it out Thursday so I hope to get it Monday.  That would be 17 days of not mining with a 4.25 BTC miner, which is lost money. :(

I PMd you about a possible discount on a 2nd unit as compensation.  I believe that's fair.  Please respond.  Thanks!

you are missing a 8-pin ribbon cable and not mining as a result?

go down to redioshack/source/citrcuit city or any other store that sells wires and electrical tools. find a 8-pin flat cable or buy 6 seperate [thin] wires. ghettorig the wiring yourself.

if you cant find a connector to match or lack the soldering/ghettorigging skills to do it, im sure you can find an electrical repair shop to do it in a heartbeat for <$25 (<30 minutes work)

I agree that you are owed a replacement (was the original missing?), but that should be taken up with bitmain. I am sure if you asked, they would be happy to cover the cost of  local repair since it would be much better than waiting days or weeks for some wires to make your system work

It's actually the 4-pin ribbon cable that goes from the closest blade to the controller.  I went to radio shack but they don't have a cable like that.

I don't want to ghetto rig anything to avoid breaking the thing and voiding the warranty.

As for taking it up with bitmain, I thought I had to go through sushi because he was the reseller I bought from.  I didn't want to go over Sushi because he said he would send out a replacement cable when I first notified him, so I took him for his word.  I haven't seen it and I tried to get an update.  It took a few days but he said he would send it yesterday.  Since it was close the weekend, I gave him the benefit of waiting until Monday.

Today,I saw that he lowered the price of the Antminer in a new GB.  I'm interested in a 2nd unit and figured I'd ask if he can compensate for the lost mining time since I paid much more for a unit that haven't really done anything.  At minimum, at least send me the price diff between the new and old price since I couldn't mine until (hopefully) sometime next week, which is like purchasing from this GB and just only receiving the unit sometime next week (when the cable comes).

I originally asked if he can compensate by discounting the next unit for 17 days of missed mining at 180 GH.  The 17 days doesn't count the day I received it since I figured a true 24 hour would start the next day.  The 17 days was calculated assuming I would get the cable this Monday.

Here's the original post that has links to photos of the cable I'm speaking of:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=364342.msg3951717#msg3951717

2 more for me, please. With hosting.

hi. i was wondering, did anyone got speeds  higher then 205gh/s?

http://prntscr.com/2ecv1x (http://prntscr.com/2ecv1x)

of course it has been modified a little. i have placed one extra fan, and it is in a room with air temperature around 20C.
so with all that temp in unit is around 42C.

and if i turn off second fan, temp goes up to 49C.

1. anyone has some similar experience with modified ants?

2. is there a something like second step in modifying? to push it a little more, since it is winter here right now and outdoor temps are around 0C.

thx everyone.

I will take one.  Thanks!

Hi
Why do not you answer my letters?

I'm sorry you saw me online as the status, I fell a sleep.  I'm back now!!!

Red Bulls do run out the effect after 20 or so hours of being wake....   :'( :'( :'( :'(

Sushi 1 for me please  :) Thanks

Please read and respond to my PMs, sushi.  Despite the issue I have with my first miner, you seem to have a good karma surrounding you so I'm interested in another unit. Thanks!

I'm sorry I fell a sleep. now I'm back online

sushi, i sent you the payment for mine..

tx b18e040fa4122bf94747241f0b29385118ab367a04daebf2c518e9fcc568ed11

1900usd > will be a real invoice or just shipment declared value?

Greetings Sushi,

can you confirm the total hosting fee for three months is $375?
do you do shorter periods of hosting?

sushi can you please confirm my payment :)

any chance getting a machine without cgminer and bfgminer instead.

not on this batch, but any reasons behind that???

If you could share that would be great!

1 Unit Received!!!

Can accept from 1 months minimum, however, it will be $100/month.  Setup fee of $50 and $75 one time PSU fee do apply.  $50 removal fee + shipping cost when you request to send your unit to the address of your choice.

Extending the contact after 3 months of hosting can be done on month to month bases for $75/month

Hey Sushi, I left mssg. here on thread and I PM'd you as well, just waiting to hear back from you in regards to payment address. thanks, sbfree.

I'm kinda new to mining, can someone in here recommend a good pool?

What are the options?, and why choose for a not b?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools

What about my miner?

Hi Sushi. Can you add me to the first post list of customers who've paid; just for piece of mind. Thanks!

2 of my 3 seem to always go down or slow down when bitminter gets attacked.  Im using bfgminer for the rest of my miners, with no issues.  Ive used cgminer lots in the past and always have had problems with it.  My miners running cgminer have always needed more attention then running bitminter client or bfgminer.  I cant say for sure cgminer is the problem. I also have a knc miner running in the states and it also goes down in these attacks.

1 for me please

I'm in for 1 !  ;)

Thanks sushi, I see I am now on the paid list.

Got the cable today!  Thanks sushi!  BTW, did you get to my PM?

sushi i've filled the form so please confirm i'm ready to be in first post list...

i'd like to get another one for a friend.. will you send me another address so i can fill the form with his shipment information?

thx!

Hi Sushi,

I would like to purchase one unit with 3 months hosting. Please send me adress and total cost. Also with hosting option I read somewhere in the thread that my unit will be fully operational and mining on ~6th of January, is this correct? What will be required from my side to get it going?

Thank you!!

Another 1 for me sushi, I would like hosting with this one.  Thanks!

sorry sushi, could you remove me from the list? I decided to sit out this round :)

No Problem!!!

Hi Sushi

I had an order for 15 Antminers and confirmed with you by email. Please check, thanks.

Yes You are in & PAID in FULL!!
.

Will there be any more group buys for this model?

Is there a rough estimate of shipping time to united states? If not, I'll just wait patiently for tracking info.

Sushi. paid 2 devices, and do not see myself in the list of buyers

You are on it now!!!

Thank you for waiting!

Thanks sushi!

What shipment service u gonna use? UPS ? Dhl?

Do we get tracking numbers?

Im not at home very often :)

Thnx again!

Hi,

Need some help both my miners have now lost there IP due to a new router being put in.

I have tried multi subnets with IP scanner and still can't find either.

Is there a way to rest these back to default ?

Thanks

Sushi - paid in full for my 1:

TXID - 1c7431dc8fe63c741200049fdf487a3441588faeb915690f942199de38fa1f32

RESET BUTTON

reset button?? is this a new feature? its not on my Antminer

Sushi!!  I'm a new user and just got the ability to reply to the topic this morning!  Is it really sold out?  I can't sign up to by 1 for myself?    :D

The reset button save my life!!

Thanks sushi!

Sushi, are you serious.....SHIPPING ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 2013?? If so, def. sending you a tip....

This is what sold out usually means, you can wait for another group buy.

Good afternoon,

Is this already sold out?  If not, how do I place an order?  Thanks.

Sushi,

Paid in full for 1 unit.  Form filled out and PM sent.

 :'( :'( :'( May be soon but unknown at this time...   :'( :'( :'(

Is a 1900$ invoice supplied for customs?
Here customs always ask for invoice / transaction receipt, they don't believe anything on the box or inside the box :(

with a new price, maybe?

in 2-3 weeks there will be a gigaton of TH miners released on the network

Which company beside maybe KNC ?
Would like to have a look at them  ;)

Thank you

There are (always) a gigaton of big miners being promised and money being taken for pre-orders. Actual delivery is a different story.  

Maybe there will be a rush of deliveries on the next few weeks.  I actually doubt it though because all these companies pre-mine with their inventory ("burn in" lol) and the hash rate hasn't been going up that fast recently.

http://forum.cointerra.com/threads/december-batch.214/

OF THESE

http://cointerra.com/shop/

Cointerra just received their waffers, so another few weeks before they even hit production / shipping

Congrats to sushi and Bitmain on another successful group buy !

Can't wait to get my new toys !

True enough...kind of like a BFL thing however, even if these units ship in the next 6 months, $3 per GH/s is gonna be tough to beat.

Sushi my miner does not have this button, Thanks

KnC will be deliver rather Q2, except the Jupiter flashsale soon

Bitmine will have their Desk model ready in 3rd week
Cointerra may follow in week 4 when they catch up

Jupiter flash sale ?  :)
Where I can find out more ?

Thank you

This is part of the KNC customer protection plan they have, they will not sell more units until network difficulty rises. So they are basically holding off sales of their jupiters until another competitor ships so their current customers don't get screwed by them selling more.

Sushi, I've emailed you twice, please contact me.

Awesome! If there weren't enough incentive for "burn in testing," let's come up with another one.

I for one am very happy with the Bitmain/sushi model of offering machines to sell (or more importantly pay for) that are actually available for fast shipment. The rest of the vendors are playing games with a shady (at best) business model.

so fast, hm....Thought of getting one.

Hi Sushi!

So given that you are pre-shipping units (and I have asked for a hosted option) will I be able to HASH earlier If you send it to me or if you host it? I live in Canada.

Thanks!

Sushi, I still don't see my name on the paid customers list.

Sushi， your group buy is hot..

pci extenders are included or i have to order one ?

thanks

I see a tracking number already within UPS/MyChoice.

Very Excite! 

http://in2lit.pbworks.com/f/thumbs-up-borat1.jpg

Pre ship! this is the way a business should work  :)

Well done sushi :)

Yet another good group buy!

Sushi is going to have to surpass himself to improve his service, quicker tracking numbers would be helpful as last time it got delivered before I got the tracking number  :) so how about delivery before payment as an improvement, that would be faster :P

lol, thanks for the monday morning chuckle.

Does Bitmain have plans for T-hash level Antminer i wonder ? or 500 Ghash...

FAQ

https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/manual/AntMiner%20FAQ.pdf

can't wait to see my tracking number :)
so will it be UPS?

a good way to celebrate new year!

thx sushi!

If you sign up for UPS/MyChoice you can see your expected delivery date.

I have the same question as well.

^^^Previous question post

is this valid for outside USA as well?

I dont think so. It is asking for a US address.

I haven't tried for a non-US address, but I would assume it is worldwide. UPS asks for a country when you first visit the site. Hence, it is asking me for my US-based address since that's what I selected.

Aah. Thanks appreciate it.

it doesn't seem so.. in my country page there is no reference of 'my choice' service..

i'll wait for a sign from sushi

No, this is currently US.

Where do you see the tracking info in myups (if you are from US).

Once you signed up if theirs any packages underway to your address added to profile it will alert you. Just gt off the phone with UPS they advised once you signed up to the site and you put your address details in, any packages that are incoming to you on that day or day befor you will get an alert on your account or email advising you of it and if needed will phone you to make arrangements or payments on import tax....

This is UK tho but more than likely to follow same sort of thing. You can also call them and ask if their any packages inbound to you.

I am in the UK and signed up for a My UPS a few weeks ago, it has my address listed but does not show and inbound parcels unless I add a tracking number. If you manage to get it working I would be interested in how you did it.

Next week I will open a UPS Shipping Account and see if that makes a difference.

Wow, that was fast.  Scheduled to arrive 2 days before they were even supposed to ship, from the other side of the world, with New Year's in 2 days?  Great job Sushi!

Good. Which part of the world are you located.?

ETA for me is 2 Jan.. (USA/East)

Let me know if you have any available soon. I'm in for 2.
Thanks,

Thanks buddy. This was helpful. I wonder how high anybody successfully managed to overlock antminer as stable.

 I've sent them a couple PM's that have gone unanswered inquiring about the same thing :(

 Either way, can't wait to see what they come up with next and can appreciate their need to keep a lid on future plans.

 Super Mega Happy Customer Fan #1 !

Wow Sushi, another early shipment, Bitmain is setting the bar for ASIC Manufacturers.

This. 1000x this.

I've just been updated with a Thursday delivery date.  Very impressed!  Suck it BFL.

K...all I want to know right now is when is the next group buy?

Maybe time for another uniform price auction?

Sushi looks like he still has some life left in him— I'm sure we can wear him out completely.

East coast US. (ETA Jan 2)
The tracking didn't show up under the calendar view (default when you log in) in UPS MyChoice but I got a list of my tracking numbers when I clicked "Table View".

Los Angeles area (California, USA) here, I'm 2nd to the bottom of the list and just made the GB.  I checked my wife's (my UPS) and it was in the "table view" also.  Thanks for the tip!  I've been checking my UPS all day at work and just got a chance to check my wife's UPS account tonight.

I don't have an ETA for my tracking number, yet...  Hope by tomorrow morning (on the ETA date).   Thank you sushi!  8)

Thanks for the tip on the Table View...mine wasn't showing under Calendar View either.

My order is def higher than yours and i don't see anything in my UPS account.
Neither in calendar view nor in table view.

Am sure that the address that i gave is correct because sushi had confirmed me my address that he has with him.
Not sure what am i missing.

Did you also sign up for the UPS My choice?  When I signed up for UPS account, I realized after a few hours there's also a UPS my choice signup.

If it's relevant, I don't think my package is in the UPS facility.  It says "order processed. REady for UPS"  then there's a bubble that pops up when I hover the mouse there's legalese that they'll notify me once the shipment is moving in the UPS system.

any chance of new group buy?

I am shure there will be something comming...

Mine is the same way...means label has been created online but package not dropped off at UPS yet.

If the following link is Sushi's site then he already has this thread advertised as GB-6 at BTC3.00 with a 1/6/14 ship date.

Hi,

anybody here with hosting having all his/her units offline since early in the morning GMT+1 ?

Thanks and Happy New Year!

spiccioli

spiccioli,
sushi told me that data center is under maintenance and it "could be down from 10-20 hours but expected to com back online sooner."

hope to be online soon, early GBs don't have too many chances to get ROI

Hi elduce,

thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Happy New Year!

spiccioli

Same thing happened tome. The first tracking number for 21st dec shipment is still like that. While i was waiting for sushi sort things out with chinese company , the package of 21st dec shipment arrived in my country with a different tracking number. The first number still shows  "order processed. REady for UPS" . so have sushi check it out ,  just to be on the safe side.

how did you get to see them as i dont see any sections other than to track with reff number etc nothing else. ups advised would be notified ??

Anyone know the date this GB was shipped out?

WOW these shipped on 12/30 from China!  Amazing!

For those of you having trouble, sign up for "My UPS", then "UPS My Choice"... wait a bit (I think they have to load the data via some batchload or something when you create a new account, took a while for mine to show up), login again in a few minutes and then go to the UPS My Choice view (calendar or table view works) to see the incoming shipments.

Thanks SUSHI!

hey guys, does the ups account have to match the info given to sushi order sheet, such as bitcointalk user name, address and such for UPS tracking info to work on my ups??

I ordered 2 but don't have any info on them....

I provided my email to the form but the name was my wife's name.  The home address is the same.  It shows up in my wife's UPS account.  It doesn't show up in my UPS account.

UPS just told me my commercial address can't be given any info via UPS MY CHOICE, I must have tracking info....has anyone received an email from sushi/bitmain w/ tracking number?? or is it just via UPS SITE, which leaves me out?

I have not received any e-mail regarding shipping or tracking, yet.

Hopefully, the Christmas stuff ships before the so called New Years batch...

Hey can use Christmas folks get entered in the New Years raffle too??  ;D ;D

If Sushi themselves have NOT posted this, I would NOT buy anything from here.  Anyone vetted this site?

He posted it on GB6 thread

Yep.  I see that now, just didn't see it here.  Thanks.

For those following:

Next group buy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=392860.0

Just got my tracking numbers should be with me by 3rd of Jan for United Kingdom :)

Cant wait.

sushi-review will get you the same thing as this GB.  That's how I ordered one of mine in this group buy 5.

just got a text msg from UPS


Scheduled Delivery Updated To:
    Thursday, 01/02/2014, By End of Day

Last Location:
    Arrived - Barking, United Kingdom, Thursday, 01/02/2014

 :D ;D

Little shock one due for tomorrow and one is due today arrived at local depo and should be with me today

Got tracking number, package is held by customs clearance... :/

Hi Sushi,

No tracking number received  :(

Ok got my first unit...

WARNING TO ALL UK BUYERS AND SHIPPING AND IMPORT TAX.

£259.21 per unit for shipping tax little annoyed at this and even for other stuff that's been more expensive than $1,900 declared value has not even cost this in tax. UPS saver so not insured if something is broke.

lolwut ? I paid £60 import tax on my last 2. I have one more being delivered today so I'll see what the cost is of this. Hope it's not that much !!

You must have chosen $1,900 USD Computer Accessories option then rather than your own risk.

1900 USD is about £1160 which at 20% vat is £233  + say 3% import tax,  add say £35 ish  = £267/unit

Import duty for computer accessories is zero rated, so there is only VAT to pay.

Thanks for that,  didn't know that.

hi everyone..

i got my first one delivered...
just to double check with you...  did you get the pci-e extender cable?

it's missing in mine :(

I did not get a tracking # and I'm still NOT on the paid list on the first post....wtf?!

44 euro

What are you being charged for at time of delivery?

Got my two units a few hours ago. Yet again, no mention of custom duty or VAT. Nice.

the last few times i was charged roughly $44.80 CAD (+/- 10%, i dont have the actual receipt). I elected to avoid the $1900 price stamp this time, because thats enough tax to ensure the miner will have problems breaking even

also, UPS often adds some bu**s*it trivial charges for $15 or so

Anyone know how much tax / customs duty does they charge for delivery of ants to USA.?

Really hoping there is no charge for me either. I have it being sent to a UPS mailbox and picking it up later. Not even sure what they'd do if there's a charge.

you live in a lucky country! :)

Mine didn't, but mine has a 6pin PCI-e connector on each board. You sure yours hasn't got those too ?

That would be awesome if my Ant is like that too!  No need to disassemble any PCI-E extension cable-ends.  My Ant is coming tomorrow per UPS...

Mine does also, going to see how this turns out...just got it literally 5 mins ago.

Got mine too, no extender, but does come with 6-pin connectors.

Thanks sushi!!

So how does this work then.? Do we need to buy anything additional for it to work.?

The jumper wire is still needed to trick the PSU that it's connected to the motherboard.  As far as actual power to the S1 blades (the real computers doing the mining), just plug in the PCI-E 6-pin from your PSU.  One for each S1 blade.

That's really good news on the connectors.  I wasn't looking forward to cutting the wires.

Delivery van just dropped off my units.

Very nice indeed to see 6-pin PCIe connectors on the units now !

Thanks again Bitmain and Sushi !

https://i.imgur.com/9xdF4lG.jpg

Thank you for the picture!  I hope mine has it too.  I wonder if you still have to upgrade the firmware to  antMiner_openwrt20131212.bin?

I see a date of manufacture(?) there of 12/1/2013?

I think it is the 1/12/2013

Where is sushi...he has gone MIA for me - hasn't replied to my PMs nor forum posts.

looks great! I notice that between the 2nd(?) gen boards (first with the red/black terminals) and this, capacitors were added on pads C608/C609 in the image. Im just curious what these are for- related to the added PCI-e connector or not fully implemented at the time for some other form of current control?

I literally plugged two 6-pin PCI connectors into my Antminer, and an ethernet cable and was good to go. No splicing needed for this model.

That's great news.  What about the jumper wire to between pin 16 and 17   on the ATX 24-PIN?

Thanks.

Well, you always have to jump the ATX 24-pin to turn the power supply on. That's not Antminer specific.

Got it.  Thanks.  STill waiting for my Ant.  I'm ready.

I got the power supply (CX750M) from bestbuy since 2 days ago.  Modular so less clutter as much as possible.  I already have an Ikea table that is going to be shared with my Litecoin miner (that is currently out of commission until my burnt-out 7970 graphics card RMA replacement come in).

 :D

Loving this feature, makes it even easier for setup now :)

GODDAM IT.

This is the THIRD time UPS has shafted me (every antminer ive ordered). Just like the last 2 times, I was home all day for the package and left a note in the lobby with a buzzer code and instructions to come to the 4th floor.

Just like before, its past 7pm (its actually 9:45PM today) before the tracking status changes from 'on truck for delivery' to 'first attempt made'. Its too late to schedule a will-call with UPS.

What can I do about this? Its obviously not Bitmain's fault, but im seriously pissed off that once again the UPS delivery truck decided to skip me and mark me as 'attempt made' when no such thing took place. UPS call center of course gives less than half of a f**k.

Gotta complain to UPS, odds are the driver didn't want to go up to the 4th floor.

Bump!

Wow, that sucks. I had that happen with another package. Lost a day and a half of hashing that way. The Postal service said that was not my regular driver, blah blah blah, we don't give a rat's butt. Talk to the postmaster, blah blah blah.

But, get this, I was home, and the driver did not even bother to ring the doorbell. He just slid the Antminer package about 3 feet on the snow on my porch, and it came to a halt about 3 inches before hitting the wall.

I can still see the track it left in the snow.

Some of these deliver guys just seriously do not care. Not that I really blame them, but it would suck to have something shipped from China then have to ship it back because some troglodyte UPS person treated it like crap.

Yes complain to UPS, but track down a corporate number, not the call center.

I know and i feel for you. I live in a fourth floor apartment in an elevator building. Still sometimes they do that to me.
They are one rude carrier. I like DHL in that matter. I have received a number of packages through them and they have been very professional about it.

(for international shipping, they are more economical than UPS and Fedex as well).

UPS

Yesterday started the day off pissed off hearing i may need to pay £260.

After recieving an email from UPS saying my box is on the way to me

i waited by the door allday...... im on the ground floor no stairs no narrow paths and plenty of parking outside.

at 3pm i receive a email saying "first attempt made"..

i instantly tried to contact UPS (tried not dialling a 0870 they kept on telling me i cannot be transffered as i will have to call the toll number)


eventually they responded that my local depot would get in contact with me within one hour.

Hour and half later i get a call saying that driver did call and has gone home for the day.

Im getting pissed off with there dishonesty and B. The lady is telling me "how it is" rather then apologizing or putting me through to the actual driver.

I was told to go there Depot 9miles away at highest traffic congestion time..spent 20 minutes in traffic and then i recieve a call again from depot, wtf an apology and that the driver is coming to redeliver to me now..

what a piss take.

Paid the driver £39.07
Now all plugged in but wont load Cgminer tried resetting and cold start. so waiting on Sushi to see if he can get it running.

when you are free Sushi email pls may need some tech support.

Mine arrived this morning,  psu sockets will make life very easy for some,  I am using the Dell PSU as described elsewhere on this forum, works really well.

All configured and running in 20 minutes flat.

Thumbs up to Sushi, will send him a tip now the deal is complete.

Batteryman.

After 18 hours finally got it on the network..so happy to see this xtra bright green LED...hashing away ;D

Forget the tracking number as UPS have been and the unit is hashing. Now I have to buy some sun glasses for the extra bright leds, I hope that they are not going to increase the watts at the wall  ;D

UPS shows it just got delivered.  Supposed to be here yesterday but it took forever to get through all the customs clearances.  Now if I can just leave work...

Can't wait to get it going, thanks sushi!

I did. I requested they hold it for pickup at 5pm - "we cant do that until after a first delivery attempt"
I called at 10pm after the first attempt shows as being at 9:45PM (I was home, no notice or buzzer attempt) - "you had to call earlier, it will go out tomorrow for a 2nd attempt. we will have the dispatch center call you before 10am"
By 11:30 am today, no callback. so i called them - "oh, well the driver today is sick so its a replacement, we cant do anything to make sure they deliver before 3pm"

I am going away for the weekend, so basically I have been shafted for 4 days (thursday afternoon - monday afternoon) of potential mining time.

TO SUSHI/BITMAIN : This is unacceptable to me. Ive never had issues with FedEX, Purolator, or canada Post. BUT for the third time, UPS has not come to my building/apartment and has been a nightmare to deal with. Please consider establishing other shipping options such as DHL if possible. i would gladly pay $50 more to avoid this incompetency. The time wasted contacting UPS and the mining proceeds lost to these issues far outweighs any cheaper prices they have vs. DHL/Fedex/etc

Hi
Did you pay  £39.07 custom taxes? Is that for 1 unit?

Simple solution give them a number for you to contact you on I actually got a phone call to advise their 30min away and kept a look out for ups van and then seen van and went down my 8 flights of stairs and went to the door.

Any optional instructions has to be done via notes in ups account or given to customer services as they don't take note other wise any notes on door etc they will ignore.

If you want  to pick item up ask to pickup at your local ups depo station. I had to do that on my 2nd unit but had note though door phoned them and then went to their unit and collected.

Got mine yesteday, hashing fine, paid about 24 EUR (equivalent in my country's currency) to the driver. Thanks sushi! Tip is on the way!

Got my ANT yesterday and it's running fine so far.  It's sharing my OCZ 1000W with a cube.

http://crazycointalk.net/forum/index.php?board=44.0 I have spoke to sushi regarding this and am sure will like the idea of it as seems ot like the site already.

If you have antminer porn Ie pictures and showing them off etc feel free to inbox me and ill have them added to my main site www.crazycointalk.net :)

Maybe there's another thread somewhere for this but has anyone discussed that even with so much power of our Antminer S1, it's looking very doubtful that we're gonna get our ROI of 3.15BTC?  [I'm not complaining at all; as I suspected it from the start before I bought it  :) ]




I'm basing my numbers from playing around with the S1 since last night (about 13 hours worth of data); so not really significant sample size.

Many thanks to sushi and Bitmain for such a FAST shipping and so easy setup (literally 5 minutes; of course I was timid and took my time so maybe 15 minutes setup).  I had everything ready; table, power supply, dd-wrt router brdiged via wifi to my main router (same one I'm using for my "downed" Litecoin miner).

As usual UPS screwed me over. It reached my depot yesterday evening and was on delivery vehicle today morning.
Had me wait at home all day and at the end of day, they moved the delivery date to Monday.

UPS sucks.. atleast the driver on my route. this is not the first time he has done that. I have one lazy fucked up driver serving on my route.
@Sushi.. make note of this. Fedex / DHL is far better than UPS.

Both of mine have been up about 40 hours, and I've already made 0.25 bitcoins
So not bad at all
And that was including some downtime, when I was figuring out about the power supplies and to get rid of some x's that were showing up, right now, both units have full oooo's

Just a thought when it doesn't become profitable to mine bitcoins
Why not switch to another sha-256 currency?

Oh and UPS sucks
Never had a good experience with them
FedEx is much, much better

• 1.  Mine other sha-256 altcoins (and exchange for btc or ltc at cryptsy)
  2.  Sell the Antminer when it can only produce .2btc/day or after 30 days (whichever comes first)
  3.  Buy another miner from sushi if price goes to 2btc within 10 days like $ cost average on stocks except with btc (effective price for 1 Antminer would be ~2.6btc)

I was thinking same as you if btc mining gets too difficult to mine altcoins and exchange for btc.  This is exactly what I was doing just before my ltc miner crashed.  I was mining fastcoins and exchanging for ltc, because ltc mining did not produce as much when ltc difficulty shot up.

You were in a very lucky pool there!  Care to share? :)   I got .039 for the first 13 hours, then switched to another pool and got .036 for the next 14 hours.  I'm back with the first pool.

I'v also OC'ed to 400Mhz last night and getting about 202GH/s (average for the past 9 hours).  Cooling is important.  I got a couple of xx's in the first few minutes after OC and when I put the Antminer closer to the big fan (i got from walmart), the x's turned to o's.  Stable right now but California weather has been sunny so I'm waiting to see what happens during the day.

Thanks for your thoughts and inputs.

You (meaning anyone, not just you) can not accurately predict ROI since it depends on future difficulty changes, and also on the residual value of the miner. All you can do on these is guess. If you guess that these will be low+high you should buy the miner, if not you shouldn't.

There is this fallacy that you can make a few clicks a on web site like genesis block, etc. and get a definitive yes or no answer on whether to purchase a miner. False.

As for mining some other coin if you look at profitability of mining other SHA256 coins it has generally not been favorable. Mining scrypt coins has been somewhat favorable. But as for the future, again all you can do is guess.

My two Antminers are happily hashing away at sushi's hosting center a few days earlier than expected! Friggin' sweet! Put in a support ticket to have them overclocked. Hosting is great option here, painless and efficient. Thanks sushi!!

Did you get contacted saying that your hosted miners were ready or what?  I haven't heard anything about it and I'm still waiting to hear back on my ticket.  Just making sure I didn't get forgotten.

When/where did you enter your pool info?  The google document from the order didn't have pool info on it.

I first tried eligius, but it sucks
Don't like the concept of a payment queue, where they get to keep my btc for 6 days till they pay me
So I switched to slushs pool
Much better,and because you can login, you can see more accurately what each worker is doing
I have a separate worker setup for each antminer so I can see if there are any problems
I'm about 0.13 bitcoins a day
Which is right about where I should be :)

For 2 AntMiners right?

Eligius doesn't keep your coins for 6 days and you can login.  I have it set to pay to my blockchain.info wallet daily.  You just need to go into the settings and configure your payout limit.  Eligius has been pretty good in my experience.

I had switched to eligius last night and received my payoff .79btc to my blockchain wallet after ~26 hours. Yes, I got put in queue payoff but because I set my auto payoff to .025, I got paid to the wallet about 12 hours after hitting the amount.

That's what I recommend for auto payoff setting .025 bitcoin which should get hit in 12 hours if running OC'ed. 200 GH/s

Also, Eligius supports workers too. Just add _workername to the username (payout address) for each worker.

But nothing wrong with slush's pool either. I've used that at times and I'm using that as my primary backup now.

Nope, I PM'd sushi my pool and worker info and about 1.5 or 2 days later I found they started hashing by checking my pool.

miner from group buy 3 and miner from this group buy arrived today :))))) at last. last generation has power socket for pcie cables, embedded on boards :D they are improving designs on every  generation i guess.

My hosted unit is gone.

sushi  -5 days, hosting = 0x0 = 0.00000000 BTC = -0.32btc
http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17GrEsaGnxPXmSXQVrHhH8VVanJ5bp6nku

I want OverClocked to 200-205 GH / S 200 - 205 GH/S

Group Buy 6 SHIPPED !!!!!!!
Tracking# will be e-mail to you in 2 days or so.  

 :-[ :-[

Yes.
http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17GrEsaGnxPXmSXQVrHhH8VVanJ5bp6nku

I am not satisfied with the service.
I request a refund of 3.15 BTC

Adress refund: 17GrEsaGnxPXmSXQVrHhH8VVanJ5bp6nku

Thanks!

Does anyone have the same problems?

As I've been told internet there were connecting problems on my hosting place, so I once lost 12 hours of mining and then hashing isn't very stable, getting warnings of hashrate drops all day. Sometimes miners switch to backup pools, sometimes just loose some minutes of mining.

Yes, 38 hours lost. Sushi, think about that.

Support is sushi.  The support tickets on sushi-review are to Sushi.  Responses aren't quick though so you have to be kinda patient.  I will probably not do hosting again because I want to be able to control it myself.  I'm still waiting for my hosted miner to get going.  At this point I've missed out on a few hundred $$ in mining revenue so I'm not too happy bout that.

My website is hosted here, technical support solved my problems in 1 hour.

Just a general comment that may be related to the issues you're having with these hosted Antminer S1 miners.

My Antminer S1 came in, I ran it for many hours stock speed, I then OC'ed it to 375MHz first, then went to 400MHz after a few more hours.  What I found was that if the cooling is not enough, I will get ASIC's that turn to xx's.  If I plug too much stuff to the same surge protector, I may or may not get xx's.  Last night, it got a little warm in the room because I closed the windows next to the miner with just a little opening (as it was a little chilly Southern California weather) and I also dropped the walmart fan speed (again thinking the cooler night temperature would compensate).  I got the most number of xx's I've seen yet, but the hash rate was fine, but it made me nervous, I quickly downgraded to stock speed, rebooted, and xx's gone, OC'ed to 375MHz after 5 minutes and got 2 xx's immediately, so dropped down again to stock speed and waited an hour before attempting to OC.

It has been up for 10 hours with no xx's and running at 400MHz, 200GH/s performance.  Antminer is solid, it's stable, but it has to be provided the right cooling and power.  Running the walmart fan at full speed versus middle speed only added 9watts per the killawatt display, so I'm not dropping that walmart fan speed again.

I can just imagine the temperature at the hosted site and the power load with all of these ants in the room...  fwiw.

Well filled out support ticket and sent a couple of messages to sushi here on UPS losing my package ... when i phone UPS they tell me the shipper has to get in contact with them as i can not go any further in this matter .... Grrrrr .... guess i just have to wait and lose mining profits now :( hoping to hear back soon from you sushi !!

Hi Sushi,

please can you reply to my PM about replacement blade you have said would be shipped on 26th of Dec. It still didn't arrive and I'm loosing 30Gh/s due to this.

Thank you very much

what the total draw and how efficient is your psu?

Corsair  CX750M, Bronze certified, Up to 85% efficient.

Antminer S1 OC'ed 400MHz + Linksys ddwrt router + walmart fan full blast = 461W (according to the killawatt the surge protector is plugged-in to).  452W if walmart fan is dropped to middle setting.

Correction, I see 498W right now.  I don't know where I saw it was 461W.   Medium setting on the walmart fan puts it back down to 489W.

UPS has apparently lost my shipment of two S1 miners. They made it to my local UPS hub, but disappeared after that (no scanning activity since January 3). UPS is going to open an "investigation," but this is pretty discouraging.

I've received hundreds of UPS packages over the years, and have never had them lose anything until now. I wanted to post this here in case anyone else has had a similar tragic experience :(

Sorry about that man.  That really sux, I hope they find them!
