After you have chosen a carrier [I chose UPS as an example] here is where I was talking about adding a note for delivery with the same HST CODE I mentioned above  "HST CODE: 8471.41.0150":  You can even go as far as to be more detailed in that NOTE to the carrier for delivery by stating the following:

8471.41.0150

Which is:

8471
Automatic data processing machines and units thereof; magnetic or optical readers, machines for transcribing data onto data media in coded form and machines for processing such data, not elsewhere specified or included.

41
Comprising in the same housing at least a central processing unit and an input and output unit, whether or not combined.

What exactly do I put in there?

When I look at my old shipping labels on recent packages I received, I do not see my company's EIN number on them.  I would still put "HST CODE: 8471.41.0150" next to your SSN or EIN number.  However, It is more important to put "HST CODE: 8471.41.0150" next to your street address.  I believe you also are allowed to give a special note to the carrier when you place your order with bitmaintech.com.  I recommend also putting "HST CODE: 8471.41.0150" in the special note to the carrier when you place your order with bitmaintech.com.

EDIT:  You see my address covered up in purple.  I put "HST CODE: 8471.41.0150" out to the right of my street address and out to the right of my EIN/SSN number as well.

EDIT #2:  When looking at the address label on each package sent to me from bitmain; it does not have my EIN (Employer Identification Number) or SSN (Social Security Number).  Which means by putting the HST CODE out to the right of the EIN/SSN number will not be on the address label.  However, there may be some other piece of paper accompanying the shipment with that info.

I recommend everyone in the US make the following changes to your ADDRESS in your BITMAIN account to include the proper HST CODE for rigs shipped into the U.S.  That's if you want to avoid a potential tariff charge like myself and some others received for improper classification of shipment under proper HST CODE.  I put the HST CODE in two (2) different places on my address.  Which can be seen below.

IF someone makes this ADDITION to their account address "[HST CODE: 8471.41.0150]" and receives a shipment soon, please let us know if your carrier assigned [HST CODE: 8471.41.0150] to your shipment.  If I'm not mistaken, you can also add "A note to the carrier" when you place the order.  It's not a bad idea to also put in that note for "HST CODE: 8471.41.0150."

1084  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Avalon 6 Vs Antminer S7, which one you will choose? on: January 11, 2016, 02:56:38 AM
I prefer Antminer s7 on Avalon 6.
The new Antminer S7 Plus is much more efficient.

There's not a S7+ version, am i misunderstanding?

And now the latest batches of S7's have the same efficiency as the Avalon6, so not the only reason to stick with S7 is the GH/$, since the Avalon6 has a much better build quality.

The avalon 6 comes at 3.5th/s (thats hoping you have a warm room since they run lower in the cold) and the S7 is 4.8th/s. You can get the S7 plus shipping below $1100 currently. You can ONLY get the Avalon for $1112 in the current group buy and living in the US.

The better deal is the S7. People assumed the Avalon 6 would be able to flex by changing the volts but has not been the case at all.

You can order an S7 Batch 9 with shipping and import fees that will likely cost about $1150 and it isn't shipping for several weeks.  A better comparison would be the Batch 8 which will run you close to $1300 shipped with import fees and ships now.  

As for overclocking the Avalon.  I get 3.8-4 Th at 12.2-12.4 volts all day long.  

Not to mention the USA warranty - I had 1 Avalon6 replaced and it was as simple as calling them and sending it to California.  Try that with Bitmain.  I would also bet that the Batch 8 and 9 S7 have a much higher failure rate than the Avalon6.

Not to mention I get the Avalon6 in 2-3 days while people wait on an S7 for weeks.  I make up the difference by the time yours arrives.

USA there is no import fees which reduces the cost. Also long term, 1 th/s more per miner will out perform avalon 6 even getting them 2 weeks earlier.

I beg to differ: check the link below and see the $800 charge for import fees/duties etc.  I can supply a bunch more of those links if necessary.  
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1165628.msg13432585#msg13432585

Also, if you are counting on the Batch 9 getting here in 2 weeks, good luck.  If not then you are paying for what the s7 would mine for the Batch 8

You can call UPS and make arrangements for them to call you from now on ANYTIME you have a shipment coming in from outside the U.S.  Also, I have edited my address on BITMAIN's website in my account to include the following:  HST CODE 8471.41.0150  That is actually part of my address now to avoid this occurring again in the future.

I recommend everyone do the same thing in their BITMAIN account:

Centrix is just the name of the company that does bitcoin mining and they resell their old equipments online via Ebay and Amazon.  Picture was taken from the link below.

http://www.amazon.com/Supply-Antminer-Original-HP-X-Adapter/dp/B019M4AOPA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452472945&sr=8-2&keywords=hp+1000w+psu


Wow, DMwardjr, really, really like that clean look.  That is pretty awesome and I think the way Centrix does it will work perfectly for you while providing a very clean and almost work of art look as it would hide all the cablings.



I see what you mean now.  The Centrix name seen on the panel around those rigs was only like a water mark for the photo.  It was not actually on the paneling.  That means they more than likely used what I saw at Lowe's.  Which is Perma Board.  Don't get me wrong... I LOVE THE IDEA.  However, Perma Board is the last thing one should use in this application.  This is my honest opinion.  If an S7 were to go up in flames, the Perma Board would combust (go up in flames) and make all of the other cables on the rigs susceptible to burning up as well.  

Again, this is my opinion:  Fire retardant sheet rock or the TechLite Insulation would be a better choice.  The TechLite Insulation in a 24" x 96" x 1" panel at $74.78 each and ships free http://www.zoro.com/techlite-insulation-insulation-sheet-24-x-96-x-1-in-0079-2496ss100-sh-0000-00/i/G2727514/

The fire retardant sheet rock will run you less money and may work better in fire resistance.  Not sure though...  http://www.homedepot.com/p/Sheetrock-Firecode-Core-5-8-in-x-4-ft-x-12-ft-Gypsum-Board-14211011312/100321595

I would have 6 x S7's locked together via the tongue and groove system made on the sides like what you see in the following screenshot:  



Then cut a non combustible product to the following shape and tape it down with metallic duct tape while making sure not to cover up the ethernet port, lights and reset button.

The non combustible product is in the color red and the tape is white in the screenshot.  A non-combustible product would also be underneath the S7's in between each PSU. I think putting them together in this fashion will make for a cleaner setup.  You could also post a sticky note on the panel above each rig with it's credentials (Rig #, IP address, etc...)


1090  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Anyone Farming Bitcoin in their Garage or outdoor Shed? on: January 11, 2016, 12:01:21 AM
DMwardjr, that picture with the insulation and Duct Tape is not Kilo's setup.   I took it from a Centrix sale item picture on Amazon.  I buy a lot of stuff from them so I like how they manage their environment, all the way to how they package and resell used stuff.  All 3 of my S3 from them look like brand new.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.  I looked for it online, even Amazon under the search, "Centrix" and found NOTHING.  So, I went to Lowe's and found something that looks just like it but it's called Perma R.  However, IT IS COMBUSTIBLE.  Meaning, it would provide fuel to start a fire like gasoline.  Is the Centrix stuff combustible?  If so, DO NOT USE IT for this application with mining bitcoin!

I absolutely LOVE the idea.  However, If I cannot find a similar item that is light weight and NON-COMUSTIBLE, I'm buying fire retardant sheet rock.  I would cut the sheet rock to fit exactly on top of 6 x S7's at a time.  I would put duct tape around all of the edges to keep the chalky like sheet rock stuff from getting inside the rigs.  In other words, I would seal the edges of the fire retardant sheet rock with duct tape.  Even the edges I did not cut.

I did find a possible candidate.  It is TechLite Insulation.

Here is the spec sheet on their specialty product indicating it's a "... polymeric foam containing no
toxic or carcinogenic materials, is highly fire resistant, has low smoke, produces low out thermal and acoustical properties.
gassing, and has outstanding thermal and acoustical properties."  http://www.techlite.net/Files/Specification_Data/079_Specification_Sheet_2014.pdf

Here is a photo of what it looks like when sold through zoro.com:  http://www.zoro.com/b/TECHLITE%20INSULATION/

It can be expensive but I feel it's well worth the cost for higher efficiency during summer months.  Zoro.com is cheaper than Amazon on TechLite Insulation.

Kilo have all Avalon 6 from the picture shown.  Those miners are very quiet especially when the ambient temperature is cool as the fan hardly go above 3300 RPM.  They are as quiet as Antminer S3 in a cool room and a much louder in a warm room (higher RPM) but definitely no where near as loud as the S7.  I will let Kilo respond regarding the noise level of the 2880W PSU.  They're loud but he actually have a very cool setup that combines 3 x 2880W and are cooled by 1 very large FAN which makes them super quiet.  It's the same FAN that I have picture above in the Roast duck picture.  

I have Dell 750W PSU, HP 1000W PSU, EVGA G2 1300W and IBM 2KW PSU.  The only PSU that is noisy from that list are the Dell but their loud fan also keep them much cooler than the HP .  The IBM 2KW PSU are very compact and the noise level depends on the fan type you use.  I use the Ultra Kaze fans with the IBM PSU and they are very quiet.

P.S I just saw this very cool ideal on how to separate the hot and cool zone for the S7 using the 2x1000W HP PSU.  

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

I got the 50 amp PDU's from finsky and he has great prices on them.  Then I am running 6 total 50 amp sockets.  Here is the plugs (which are monsterous in size). As for cooling, I am building a plenum in the garage currently and hope to have it done when the 200 amp panel is finished this week.  I will have the miners separated into hot/cold with the hot air going inside the plenum and directed out.

Hi Kilo,

Thanks for sharing the idea with the insulation panel and duct tape.  I'm going to use your idea to do something a little different.  All of my PCI-e cords will be behind the insulation panel.  The only visible cord in the cool isle will be the RG6 cables for internet.  All of my PSU's are IBM 2880's and IBM 2980's.  I'm getting 2980's from here on out.  With the breakout board and PCI-e cords on the rear of the IBM 2880's and 2980's, I'll be able to have them on the hot isle side of the insulation.

Thanks again for the idea!!!

Zach,

Can you update email notification that the Hash rate is down to let's say once every 15 minutes, or only once.
In addition, will you be able to send the email once hash rate go above X speed as well. Only one email will do.

This will help miners with rented rigs.

Thanks


makes sense.  Especially, for rentals.

EDIT:  Better yet, have it where we can set the option for only once, once every 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes or 30 minutes.

How about the option to flag something as a rental instead?  And then have the "rentals" be one set of emails while the normal miners can be another.

Not a bad idea...  I'm sure you would still want a proper update of present condition of rentals though.  Certainly don't want only one notification if there is an issue.  You might miss the first one and the second one gets your attention.  I would say simply more flexibility in "what" notifications, for "how often" and possibly "how many" regardless of rental or permanent.  Although, I could not be seeing what you intend to convey.

LOL...  Yes, they can scream.  I've been talking of having french doors to the entrance of the recreation room.  I've actually had plywood there for over a year now.  I'm finally going to Lowe's tomorrow to buy a french door for $411.00 plus tax.  I'll have to pay another $50 for them to deliver it.  I'm not going to put that thing on top of my Land Cruiser.

The plywood does a decent job but french doors would definitely do the job.
