plug it into a power supply directly.

hi sushi, i sent the payment for 2 unit last night and pmed you the detail.  can you add me to the paid/shipping list when you get a chance to check. thanks

Hi guys i just got my first 2 antminer setup, everything is running stable at default setting (thank you sushi for the guide).  I do have a few questions if anyone can help:

1) On the antminer webpage status it shows ~180GH, however in my slush pool account status it is showing an average of only 170GH, does anyone know why or if there is anything i should change?

2) My temp is showing around "47", can the miner be run at this temperature for extended period of time without issue

3) Should i overclock to 200GH? so far everyone doesnt seem to have much problem with it. Each of my antminer is hooked up to its own 600W certified power supply from ocz so i dont think power will be an issue, more concerned about temperature.

4) Can i plug 4x antminer running on 4x 600W power supply into 1 power strip which in turn plugs into 1 ac wall outlet in the US?

thank you!

false, it's not that they dont understand difficulty, it's the greater fool theory,

cex.io started as a legit hashrate exchange that were priced competitively(cheaper) vs the miners you could physically buy at the time, without the setup/upkeep headaches.  

Now it's a ponzi scheme, the guys owning the shares thinking they can always sell the shares at little loss to the next fools and meanwhile they can mine some btc.  The fools buying those shares at 3-4x above market think the same - that there will always be some greater fool who will buy their shares down the road at llittle loss, the stable flat price further enforces this false belief.

Hence the whole thing is a house of cards propped up by all the market participants all thinking they wont be the ones holding the bag after the price gap up from $200 to $1000. However there will be a tipping point once the difficulty reaches so high the average account total GHs becomes too little, then the dump will begin -  someone will be left holding the bag that's for sure.

I got out once the cex.io goes above 2x the hardware price.

please put me in for 2.  (at discounted 4.2,  groupbuy 2 addict)

hi does anyone know if the below power supply(600WATT) is enough to power 2 antminer?  thanks

sorry i havent really looked at a power supply connectors for a while, does that mean any standard power supply will have the right wire i can just plug directly into the antminer?  thanks

i dont see the point of considering hashfast, it has a delivery date at end of march which is similar to cointerra, cost almost 2x as much, and seem a less organized company than the other 2.  Am i missing something?

hi sushi, i paid for the 2 units to the address you PMed me and sent you a pm with my shipping info. Can you please confirm and update the master list. thank you

This is just my opinion, i know some may disagree but realistically when it comes to PREORDERS i think those are the only 2 companies I would trust and seem to have a good chance of delivering on time.

I know i want to order 1 but just cannot decide which to get, below is my pro and con list, i am hoping the community can offer some advise which preorder to get?

KNC Nepture 3TH $13,000 Q1/Q2 start of delivery

PRO:
1) Proven track record, already delivered 28nm ASICs
2) 20nm lower watts/gh

CON:
1) ~30% more expensive than CoinTerra
2) Open ended delivery date of Q1/Q2 and it says start of delivery, meaning if you order now it could be even later

CoinTerra TerraMiner IV 2TH $6000 End of April delivery

PRO:
1) ~30% cheaper
2) Set delivery by end of april

CON:
1) Has not delivered anything, despite having a good team on paper
2) 28 nm instead of 20nm - higher watts/gh


What are your thoughts?  which to get?

please put me down for 2 thanks

yeah seriously... where are the M-Boards?  i thought those are the easier components to manufacturer. I will buy some if i can get my hand on some m boards

hi, i will keep my bid the same as in the PM 16.5 BTC but can pick up in person, no escrow or shipping.

okie thanks, but i can still pay 50% to get the current 15% discount?

looking to place an order for x3, but have a few questions that werent clear from the website if someone can help:

1) if i pay with bitcoin, how do they calculate the btc/usd rate? is it mtgox or btc-e?
2) it says in the faq if pay 50% you get 15% discount, if you pay 100% you get 30% discount. But the website only has 15% discount, how do you get the 30% discount if pay full?

thanks

laugh now, see who will be the one crying next Nov. Miner prices will continue to crash while difficulty gaps up, it is not rocket science as long as the cost to produce the hardware is cheaper than the btc prices they produce, hardware will continue to be made, which leads to sustained difficulty gaps. And we are VERY FAR from the actual breakeven price for those asic hardware (they cost 3 figures or less not 4 to make).

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the manufactures get their sh** together to start churning out those 500GH+ hardwares.  Avalon/BFL had a monopoly so they were just fucking around with everyone to control the difficulty, but now they have completely lost control as the flood gate has opened. You got knc churning out miners like no tomorrow, same with bitfury etc..  with a few big players still in the pipe.  Look at avalon now, they changed from 8 months+ delay -> to ship within 48 hours. Do you really think they improved the manufacturing overnight?  no it's all bullshit as they realized the hardware gig is over and try to dump as much as they can before the race to the bottom (breakeven price point) is hit.

The kiddie gloves are off, now all the hardware companies are truly in a race to dump as much hardware as they can before the hardware become unprofitable to sell. Anyone buying hardware nowdays is like trying to jump from 1 jet to another going at mach 10 speed in opposite direction midair, sure you can still land and make money, but just take a look at the difficulty chart first... at <3000TH total this will be a joke with cointerra churning out 2 TH boxes by next year, and everyone else dumping 0.5+ TH.

And cex.io operates on the greater fool theory, 0.1BTC per Gh is way overpriced, but everyone thinks there is a sucker they can sell it to tomorrow hence the price level is maintained until the musical chair stops.

All i can say is good luck.

people are just delusional

no it is not true, it never is true, and never will be true. People are just delusional - like to bury their head in the sand and refuse to acknowledge reality.

Will say it one more time, you NEVER..EVER.. factor in $/btc price increase in your hardware miner(virtual or otherwise) ROI calculations.  

If you bought your hardware at 5 btc, it mines total of 2 btc, and you manage to sell it for 1 btc to the next fool, you lost 2 btc, period. It doesnt matter if btc/usd went from $100 to $10000000, your ROI is still a loss of 2 btc or -40% ROI.

why would you buy 5 GH for 1 BTC when you can buy 60 GH for 6 BTC from avalon that ships within 48 hours?

what am i missing.

thanks, i have to say this is very well designed. added another 92 ghs to make it an even 100 ghs, price is not as cheap as physical hardware purchase but the ability to flip the ghs on a dime instantly and without having to deal/worry about scams/escrow is a big plus.  They have a limited supply of ghs as you cant fake that, so with more and more people get wind of this, price should have some support.

Not looking to make any big money, just cool to get back to mine again.  

I like cex.io.
