Looking for trusted ones in UK. Prices as low as possible Smiley Tried googling, no results (most of them are contracts WTF)?

There are a few UK/EU ones in the Directory: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622998.0

Anyone tried it? no replies from the tread about his rep...

Problem is for low hosting prices you are better looking at Europe, the iceland deal is probably the best. Just get your miner shipped there directly from the manufacturer when you order.

UK is too expensive for electricity really.

Any good suggestions?

Not really mate, the only hosting I've tried is with the supplier themselves, so spondoolies-tech (http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/), pcfli A1 dragon (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.0) and Minersource (http://minersource.net/)

That way you don't have to pay VAT or shipping costs.

And on another topic... why such angst about referral links?! No one gets screwed or scammed by clicking a referral link. The affiliate only gets credit if the person who clicks the link actually buys something. And they are charged the same price as everyone (if not less, because of a special promotion). No one is harmed and a member of our hard working community gets rewarded for their efforts.

Sure, spammy posts are annoying. I know firsthand because I got scolded pretty bad by several members of the community for my overzealous efforts in the recent past. But if a post is on-topic and helpful, there is no reason not to include a discrete referral link.

+1 nothing wrong with referal links in ones sig etc.

Debatable. Without affiliate marketing we wouldn't allow obvious ponzis like pbmining to thrive.

Caveat emptor, buyers who are spending this much money on stuff should really do their research. I looked at pbmining at one time when their rates dropped below hardware costs, but after about 10 minutes reading could see it wasn't a good idea. Same with all these new mining companies popping up.

For me there is only a fairly short list of suppliers & manufacturers I trust now:
Spondoolies, pcfli, Bitmain, peppermining, Technobit, gridseed.

From being from the UK, your English seems be of Eastern Europe. Even the lower class in GB don't say "making business" oppose to "doing business". Also, it's "If I don't receive an answer in 6 hours," oppose to "If I will not receive answer in 6 hours,".

And, what the heck is this?: Our old chip designer have lawsuit from us,...

Yous not British, boy!

The most shocking thing about this post isn't the revelation that this might be a scam. It's that British people still refer to their less educated folks as the "lower class".

Disturbing.

Phinnaeus is American not British, British prefer the term "the greater unwashed" or "peasant" Tongue

Are those A2 terminators ever gonna come down in price? This price is pathetic, gridseeds are better at current prices and with all the crap coming online over the next couple of months why would anyone pay that much for the terminators..not bitching, just looking for an excuse to buy one but no matter how hard I try I can't rationalize paying that much, makes more sense to buy the cheaper gridseed blades.

It would take 16K usd in blades to get 80Mh
-Bobby

$11185 at current stock price $699

Or $9840 at current sale prices ($615)
this price usd699 for g-blade is no sense. this price didn't cover the psu, rpi cost,  and express charge. if you calculate all cost, its much expensive than LA90M.
LA90M is more easy to manage,and setup big farm.


Agreed, much easier to manage 1 machine than 19 blades, cables, rpi etc Smiley

Just commenting on blade price which was wrong before.

Yes you can underclock in Advanced, I think 400Mhz is the bottom end of the range. Once you got there you could test voltages to find the lowest you could undervolt I guess.

I feel your pain.......
We won't get an EU distributor set up for this batch. Going forward we might, but we'd be wanting to do some due diligence there and make a trip to meet the potential partners, so it would be after we're certain there's still chips available after tomorrow.

However, if it works out well for EU customers we could definitely support a group buy or two. I am not sure how the VAT works over there, but if there is a benefit to it we could definitely work with someone / some people to (legally) help EU customers avoid paying excess tax.

Through the "Isle of Man" perhaps..



 Huh You guys don't really understand VAT do you. (not you MrTeal, thats understandable)

Selling it via a UK/EU reseller won't make any difference. The price will still need to have VAT added on to it for consumer sales.

The reseller will have to pay VAT to get them into the country, you think he's not going to charge VAT on top of the price? Firstly he has to by law if he is VAT registered, secondly even if he isn't VAT registered he has to recoup the VAT he paid to import them.

So it won't make much difference paying VAT yourself to bring them in or paying to the EU/UK reseller when you checkout.

I do not know the VAT laws myself but my understanding is if MrTeal opened this for EU/UK it would be to license the board spec to be produced and chips populated locally in the EU/UK... unless I am mistaken...

Does VAT still apply to that?

Even if everything can be sourced locally the company producing the boards would have to pay VAT on the parts, in Europe you have to pay VAT on everything, but then you have to charge VAT on everything if your turnover is over a specific amount per year, or if you expect your turnover to be over a specific amount per year. As I said even if you don't VAT register (because your turnover is below the threshold) you would still need to recoup the full price of whatever components and work needed to be done.

Definitely the best way to do it to produce the cheapest miners would be to build locally from as many locally sourced components as you can, I don't know what the markup on these fully populated boards are but I am sure there would be a substantial amount. Now perhaps MrTeal would require some sort of license fee or cut from a EU manufacturer.

But also remember with a full manufacturing setup you will probably have much higher 3rd party costs and staffing/warehousing etc. Also you would have to get a CE mark which can cost quite a lot to get started. Plus there is corporation tax, liability insurance etc etc etc.

Maybe an already existing company could be found to either resell or more such as minereu.com

1976  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Hacking The KNC Firmware: Overclocking on: June 03, 2014, 01:34:17 PM
Hey all,
I'm the proud owner of a used November batch Jupiter for a week now and quite pleased with it's performance. It's earned so far in a week 130 euros so should pay itself off soon, I plan to buy a few more to supplement my monthly wage, no get rich quick scheme just some extra spending cash for fun.!

Anyway my issue is when I got it out of the box it was hashing at 797 Gh/s average, as you can see from my screenshot. Good hashrate!



I then moved it to another location where it could be cooler and had some issues setting it up on a wireless bridge, I think during this I somehow reset to factory settings and it would only run at 620 Gh/s I upped the MHz on the dies from 900 to 1000 mhz and it now runs at 730 Gh/s but it's still not as fast as it was.....



I don't know what it's settings were, I'd like to get this running at almost 800 Gh/s again, can anyone help me reconfigure it?

Thanks guys,
Mcbonio

Wherever you moved it to its not running cooler, its running hotter according to those screenshots, might account for your loss of performance.

If you are comfortable with it, go back a couple of pages and load the "padrino" firmware, that will show you more info on the home page and give you the oportunity to overclock on the Advanced tab.

But you may want to sort the temps out first.
1977  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip on: June 03, 2014, 02:08:53 AM
Hi,

I got my new Antminer S1 units last week and have an issue with one of the units. Get's several X in asic status and it can't get close to 180ghs. I have check all cables, swapped psu, pushed all the chips, reflashed the firmware but it just doesn't want to give me a clean asic status and doesn't want to hash at full speed. Trying to get replacement form bitmain but so far they just have me do test like above. Anyone have this issue with a brand new S1 less then a week old?



What PSU are you using?

1979  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Using apcupsd on a S2 - any experiences? on: June 03, 2014, 01:52:01 AM
Again, thanks for your input - but that is neither the answer or what I want to do.

So as to avoid any more confusion I will repeat the question:

I'd like to install apcupsd on my S2's via the cli - so was wondering if anyone here has done this yet, and if so, what apcupsd package they used & what their experiences were with it?

Thanks  Smiley

I haven't tried it, but when I was looking into it I dug into the "installing apcupsd on beaglebone" as thats the controller hardware on the S2, looks like people have lots of problems the USB ports on the Beaglebone, so I gave up trying, that and the stripped down lack of all compiling tools on the S2. YMMV of course and you may have better luck than i.
