Title: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: AlextheBitcoiner on May 01, 2014, 07:38:35 PM Prepare yourself for something that might just blow your mind. TWO ethernet ports on a single Antminer S1. Is this some kind of sick joke by Bitmain, or maybe a new Antminer S1 prototype? I want to preface the following pictures by telling you that the S1 unit works like a 'normal' unit. It hashes at about 180 GH/s. I plugged in an ethernet cable on the side of the Antminer closest to the fan. The ethernet port near the rear side of the miner does not work. I think Bitmain simply put there for $hits and Giggles. But hell, judge the pictures for yourself. https://i.imgur.com/yKr7gpQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sJ5KDW8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XfUHtVF.jpg Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS?

Post by: TheRealSteve on May 01, 2014, 07:47:57 PM Looks like you got an extra control board - not sure if it would void warranty (given that I have no idea why you got two in the first place), but you could try swapping the narrower cable around and see if the other board does work.

just send the excess board to me ;) for openWRT Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: ElGabo on May 02, 2014, 09:34:20 AM You're just lucky!
Got an extra controller for free. 8) Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: lowbander80 on May 02, 2014, 09:43:24 AM Maybe this was an early design by the time they were only selling the single board only.
Now they put two singles together... Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: ElGabo on May 02, 2014, 10:00:36 AM Maybe this was an early design by the time they were only selling the single board only. Now they put two singles together... It was just a simple mistake at assembly. Not more. Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE?

Those had green screw terminals and no PCI-E.Now they put two singles together... Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE?

Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: spazzdla on May 02, 2014, 03:01:15 PM Great quality control. Why replace the unit? Does the product work? Yes Ship it. I can't see why they would reject that. Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: tzortz on May 02, 2014, 03:10:27 PM Great quality control. Why replace the unit? Does the product work? Yes Ship it. I can't see why they would reject that. Maybe because of their own loss?? Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS?

Post by: tzortz on May 02, 2014, 03:27:12 PM Does it cost in China, $15 to remove the controller?

Don't think so! ;D But this is what I can't understand here, and in your comments. (And not just you but all the newcomers in mining) They made a mistake, didn't deassembly the controller. Why is it a so HUGE problem? The guy have a spare controller for free, that's all. Any more bitching is needed? Don't think so.... Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS?

Do you own dividends? Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: ElGabo on May 02, 2014, 04:16:48 PM Does it cost in China, $15 to remove the controller?

Do you own dividends? I would be happy.... :) I'm just a simple customer who happy with the product and what he gets. But you yelling hard how evil are them but can't refuse to buy more S2-s. ;) You bitching on small things. That is my opinion. Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE? Post by: tzortz on May 02, 2014, 04:21:29 PM I am not bitching when I say they have low quality control.
Isn't it true? Every time I want to comment I will pm you for approval. Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE?

This man has a point.. HOWEVER so do the people that say it doesn't really matter. IMO all miners are looking for is working product so that is all bitmain is looking to ship. THey don't care if there are small discepancies if it's a working unit. Title: Re: ANTMINER S1 - TWO ETHERNET PORTS? BITMAIN APRIL FOOLS JOKE?
