Also the PSU's made this year have much Better technology the reason you guys are getting burnt wires is the input power to the PSU From the wall is not adequate or you are using a outdated supply buy a new one you will see. my connectors are not even the slightest bit warm.

PSU = EVGA Supernova 1300 watt running S5 at default FREQ and a S3 with a clock Freq of 256.6 and I can still go more.

Also have a devoted line running from your breaker box in your wall as well with its own breaker!!!!

If the INPUT POWER IS NOT adequate to the PSU the PSU will output more dc current which causes the number of electrons flowing through the wire to increase creating more friction which creates more heat this is why your miner connectors burn up!!!!

This PSU thingy has been proven in a lab many many times.


I've also done it myself. or should I say Tyself.




The PSU's I have had great luck are RM1000, EVGA 1300, Lightning 1300.   All work great with bitmain or other miners.

those EVGA psu's are rubbish. I had a 1600 that thought it was a new year bonfire.
...
the OEM psu has been replaced with a 650 corsair thingymajigger.

Corsair is a great PSU, I also use EVGA 1300's (3 S3's per), what happened with yours? I've been happy with them...

RM1000 or EVGA 1300 both work great for me never had a single problem.

Hi Jeremy

I am very sorry that nobody has been in touch sooner regarding your order or that nobody has responded to any of your earlier emails.

As you are aware we are of course behind our current schedule with shipping this batch out and to be honest with you it is looking more likely to be closer to the end of January now for shipping.
We are very sorry for the delay of this, our company that we are using for the assembly work is still awaiting for the final production batch of the chipset, once this is with them from the foundry the last part of assembly work should be no more than a few days.

I am very sorry for the delay for this and hope this can still work for you.
In the coming days hopefully we would have been in touch with everyone directly regarding this.

Sorry again for the delay in getting in touch with you, thank you for being patient with us.

Kind Regards

Simon

Nice to see he responded.  I still think end of January is pretty optimistic considering only exists in rendering.  Hope I am wrong though.

No Problem!  Sorry for the troubles

Hope it will arrive to you in one of the following time frames!

1.  a few days   Shocked
2. 1 month  Roll Eyes
3. 2 months  Wink
4. 3 months  Undecided
5. 4 months  Cry
6. NEVER!!!!  TOUGH LUCK!  Grin Grin Grin



Just being realistic and I guess a little sarcastic. Smiley Email sent as requested with all information. My order details email and shipment email.



Impressed to see Bitmain helping with a pump.  Good to see not sending them over to syscooling.

It will be interesting to see what happens with hosted miners at some data centers if price continues to be down.  I think some might have hard time paying data centers if we keep going so low on BTC price.

The interesting question is how long do the data centres have commitments on power? If they've pre-paid or have contractual obligations then their hashing will stay online as long as the companies involved stay solvent. My guess is that we won't see too many gradual drops from the largest hashing locations, but instead we'll see step drops as whole sites go offline instead.

So far there doesn't seem to be too much evidence of huge amounts of hashing going offline just yet, although realistically it will take a couple of weeks to really be sure unless there are some dramatic reductions. Smaller miners are probably switching off some of their stuff but anything less than about 15 PH/s pretty-much ends up looking like noise in the charts.

a lot of the big players upgraded to stuff thats <1w/gh, and/or pay <$0.08/kwh worth of costs and maintenance. they can be squeezed a bit further before they have to shut down.

but the farms that never unloaded the AM gear or those A1/dragon units are probably struggling hard right now, even if they pay low power costs.


personally, Im hoping we see a bubble after another 2 weeks of this despair and hashrate shutting down. A bubble causes mining to be profitable to a much wider audience, and the rapid price increases allow hundreds of small miners to deploy more equipment on outlets/locations they had already, compared to months of planning and rollout required by the big guys like Bitfury. typically it helps decentralise it and profits whoever can plug the gear in fastest

The A1/dragon who pay data centers to host will really hurt to.  I think we will see quite a few hit ebay.


Difficulty slowly going down.   And around 220 almost on btc price.  So doing a little better.

I like to think why Life force did it was to not take any more order because it is easier and takes less time to just not take any orders then refuse them and send it back.

Except that the store on his site is still open and accepting orders.  I can't say for sure that the guy is a scammer or not, but he is definitely deceptive and dishonest, and has a problem with people's opinion about his business practices.  Right before he locked his thread, he deleted a bunch of posts of mine where I did nothing more than ask him to be accountable to his own customers.  He didn't like that, so he deleted my posts.  And then he deleted my post notifying other members that he was deleting posts.  He definitely has no problem taking anyone's money, and he definitely has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to answering relevant questions about orders.

I have acquired his contact information (it wasn't too hard), and although I'm going to keep it to myself for the time being, I will not hesitate to give it to anybody who may need it in order to facilitate getting their money back from him, and I have notified him of this as well.

I don't think he is a deliberate scammer - and his contact information is quite easy to find.  Honest though?  Well that is another story.  I hope he did not send all of his customers' money to Hashra (as I know he was using it as supposed "leverage" - whatever that means).

Hopefully refunds will go out to everyone that ordered as promised, unless his LLC files for bankruptcy or some sort of protection.  Then there could be a problem.

His store does indicate everything out of stock as well -- except for the Smarterhash thing he is selling as beta.



2 reasons in this case to send money for a preorder to a unknown stranger... #1 GREED #2 DUMB

Unless it is a well known company with great track record pre-order is just very risky.  At this point a rendering is just not enough. 

Look here they were supose to ship during december.  It's january and still only rendering.

I hope everyone ends up good in this, but i'm afraid some will lose some money here.

Are you able to describe the problem?  Someone might be able to help if you tell us some more info.
12435  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER C1 Discussion and Support Thread on: January 15, 2015, 05:53:43 AM
I'm able to connect to the miner again but it's not hashing. Here are the screenshots:

What PSU are you using?

Thank you very much for responding.
An Aerocool Strike-X 1100W 90A at +12V; but the PSU cannot be causing any problems, it has to be a network thing because as I said the miner worked perfectly at my home (previous location) during more than 20h and everything was ok. Now I'm trying to make it work from an office at university, I do not need any login to access the internet, I just got a router and connected it to a RJ45 from the wall, internet works nicely, the miner does not.

Any ideas? Is it maybe a ports thing?

It could be internet related as part of the problem but it wouldn't usually display like that - you'd just get pools with no connection. It very much looks like a hardware issue with the main culprit being power [as you have no modules shown]. PSUs can die at the most random times as well.

The last thing you can try is updating the C1's firmware to the latest version, but I don't think that's your problem, and you'll need a second PSU to test.


Hello again, a couple of days and nothing seems to work. I took it back home (from university office) today and it is working great, no problem at all. As I told you the PSU is not the problem, it's less than 24hours old (the PSU) and same the miner.

Curiosity, at uni it shows X.X.X.0 in hardware software version and at home 3.3.3.0
This shows that it is definitely a network's problem, but how could I fix it??!

Thank you very much in advance for any possible solution. I wish Bitmain had a half decent customer support after shipping. It's an "only selling" company and it seems like I'd waste my time waiting for them to give me a solution so I'm not gonna even try.

Unfortunately I'm not sure why it wouldn't work if you're using DHCP, sorry.

You will need help from your university.   There could be additional security on dorms.  What IP address does your computer get?   Is your miner in same range?   

It almost sounds like your seeing a cache of miner.  If you clear history/cache can you still see it?

There is a network diagnostic tab in the GUI.

You can change the name from bitmaintech.com to your pools URL



Is not on a dorm, it's on an office. I have my own router in the office and has 192.168.1.1; the miner has been assigned 192.168.1.101 so I assume that's the same range.

If I clear the history/cache I can still see it. I've tried the diagnostics tab and nothing seems to work, ping...etc but at home everything is correct (diagnostics also seem correct at home).

What can I do?

When you are running at the office, are the network settings set to DHCP?


Of course, that's the only way for the miner to have an address assigned, no?

With static it does not necessary need dhcp.   I was wrong it seems assuming dorm, with it being office.  Do you have a tech support staff there?  It just really sounds like something is stopping you with networking.  Wish i could throw out a easy fix but sounds like you have set it up right, just is not working.

Claiming that someone else sold them for us, so it isn't our problem is just bs.

Where did you buy from? 

If you want a warranty you need to buy from bitmain or their official resellers.

I logged into my SP10 tonight and on the settings page it indicates "over-clocking (socket voltage: 217)". Does anyone know why that's there? I never made any changes to it. I just clicked on turbo fans and that was it. I never made any modifications or anything.

Here are my voltage numbers if this means anything.

Fan Speed 80
Start volts top .664
Start volts bottom .664
Max voltage .75
Max power consumption 1260
DC2DC limit 62







you should underclock that miner, my SP10's all run at no more than 840w each and avg ~1.2TH/s each.
far more profitable.



They cannot be ran at home...they are co-located which adds a cost. The noise/heat alone they produce is profound and wouldn't even consider running them in my home. Even the SP20, still to loud for my tastes. I like my peace and quiet when I come home from work.

Considering bitcoin is $178 right now I'm just going to unplug them. They are costing more to run now. What really sucks is I shelled out $3000 ($2988) for each of them and they only ran for 7 months. Damn, I miss the days where you could setup 20 video cards and run them for over a year. Lots of people are probably losing money, doesn't seem like bitcoin is going to pump back up anytime soon, but just lower. What happens if it tanks to like $50? How can these large data centers keep running? Manufacture's have to have low ball prices if they want to sell anything I would imagine, unless the buyer has so much money they don't care losing some everyday.



Price I cant argue it hurts miners for sure.

On can't run them at home would disagree.  You just need to have room for them.  Most miners are not something you would want in your living room.  I highlly suggest setting up area for miners if you have the room.

If you have a "dumb" printer is best.  But most store a few prints in them.  So use one at home, and oldest one you have. 

And keep paper wallet locked up, safety deposit box etc.   

I am in a signature campaign for a coin that you can store paper wallet in.  Might take a look at something like this.  It is meant for cold storage.
