I promise will try to put so many blinking leds on the board, so it will have double purpose: Bitcoin mining board and Christmas lights   I bet that's the LED pad   Thanks Zich I get scared Christmas is coming and i need a new toy for my tree  I was quite disappointed the LEDs on the A1's didn't blink like the Hex16B's it's really hard to see if my A1's mining. I have to touch the heatsink instead to see if they are hot. I got used to LED lights not blinking meaning it's stopped mining! |

YBF 300+GH = €1235 or for the same money 12.5x TechnoBit 60GH Hex16BitfuryV2 = 748GH
Ok, they are overclocking the Bitfury v2 to the max, but at more than double the GH, it'll pay for the extra power, and the clock is software adjustable, meaning you can dial it down later if energy costs change in cgminer.
At half the price, I'd buy yours for their space efficiency, but at your current price they've got a ROI of around a year!

I calculate it as 2x the HW error rate to account for rejects too.

How many miners do you have on WiFi? There is a limit to how many can be on the same frequency/channel, you may have reached it. Other things to check.. Wifi security protocol is the same at both ends: WPA/PSK etc. Wifi password is correctly entered. The DHCP range of IP addresses is not all used up. Either widen the range or set the IP/Mask/Gateway manually. If you think the wireless is broken on your miner, you can turn a LAN port into a wireless one using a TP-Link MR3020. If you think your routers wifi is at full capacity you can turn one of it's LAN port into another wireless router using a TP-Link MR3020 also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xR7vg7Q0Q8 |

Wow, love the Minion board if it's can use 120mm Silent Fans that'll be awesome for home miners like me! My Customer feedback: First order delayed a month messed up my ROI, everything was delivered on time with recent orders, but everything's now paid for itself 6 months on and I'm mining at a profit. I'll be ordering more, so don't worry about Technobit, they had a bumpy start but they're nothing like BFL!  Thanks Marto. |

If you don't want to convert to fiat I believe you can just call up the Official Bitcoin Core wallet with some simple HTML code like this.. |

What is the name of this miner? Never seen this before.
After cleaning off the old crap with turpentine/white spirits I'd get some non-conductive (should be white not silver) thermal compound from a computer parts store and put a blob of it on each of those copper heat pads and let it spread out when you screw the heatsink back on.
I never bother with anti static wrist bands just touch a copper radiator pipe to discharge yourself.

The real problem with solar powered mining is that the sun only shines for 8hrs of direct sunlight per day. You'll need a tonne of batteries. 1Th Miner @ 1GH/W = 1000W x 24hr = 24,000 watt-hours/12V = 2000AH = 20x100AH Marine Batteries. (about $2000 worth) 24,000 watt-hours/8hrs = 3000W solar array. (about $5000 worth, and assumes it's running 100% to spec) so $7000 before other costs like invertors. Mains electricity 1kWh = 15c x 24hrs x 365days = $1314pa (so about a 5 year breakeven risk) |

Technobit are ok in my book. I got all my products though my first order was a month late.
I'm interested in better GH/W, what happened to your Spondoolies board, have you dropped it in favour of this one?
Will you be including water cooled radiators and fans or do we have to source our own?
Not bothered about sourcing my own because I'll probably spend more to go double sized twin fan ones for half the noise.

Is the one in the youtube vid a 3 TH/s or 6 TH/s prototype?
6 Th/s So why is the video title "3 TH/s Bitcoin Asic Miner from Mining Asics Technologies B. V. Prototype is running" then? LOL, be consistent in your story if you want people to believe you. |

The R9 270 is the best card. Look at how many stream processors you get for the price and a single 6-pin PCI-E power connector. $/GH W/GH |

Be careful using modular cables from different power supplies! I just used a molex cable from a Thermaltake 750 on an EVGA 1300 and it blew up 2 Hex16B miners, the surge protected USB hub, and the TP-Link I was using as the miner! The PSU didn't even power down into safety mode!  Modular cables are not standardized, even if they fit in the same hole, the pins are probably wired up differently, so beware! EU/CE need to sort this shit out! (to pass CE your product is not supposed to interfere with other products!) |

I STILL HAVE A UNIT IN MY LIVING ROOM, YOU GET USED TO THE NOISE LEVELS AFTER A WHILE.
I don't understand how people can sleep in the same room with their rigs??? I go sleep to other room or otherwise i couldn't sleep when hearing the noise.. That just doesn't sound a smart thing to do. I often sleep in the same room if I'm too lazy to move, you get used to the noise pretty quick. It's also a constant noise so it's less disruptive than traffic for example. Agree. And the noise can't be worse than my tinnitus. Well if you sit in a room with noise over 70dB it will eventually damage your hearing so beware! Expect law suits in the future for Bitcoin manufacturers if they don't make the buyer aware and sell it under some kind of disclaimer. http://www.thompsons.law.co.uk/workplace-illnesses-and-diseases/industrial-deafness-personal-injury-compensation.htm |

You might also need to clone your internet routers MAC address depending on how evil your ISP is. The TP-Link MR3020 was designed for this job by the way (adding WIFI to a network socket). You can pick them up pretty cheap on eBay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3tpkkTRwzo |

I wonder if the Hammer 40nm will be more efficient than the Avalon Gen 3 40nm chip? They claim sub 1W/GH.. here's hoping! |

Hi marto74
I´m having issues with the Hex16B, I tried in raspberry, after less than one minute, the miner fails, and another created (hexb0, hexb1, hexb2 and moooooore) then, I try in win7 x64 with hexminer, allways the programs fall in to error and windows show a dialog to close the program, if I let stay here, it continues to mine, but at regular intervals, the Hex16B recicles itself (same as raspberry).
The buy a MR3020, flashed with your firmware, and.... the same, at regular intervals, one new hex created because the precedent appears as ZOMBIE, I´m running it in a new PSU (Tuniq Potency 550W) checked the voltages, and never dropped of 12V, tried in 900mV, 1000mV, and all the ways, the same result, tried directly to he USB port, and attached to a powered HUB.
I´m doing wrong? or anything in the miner is faulty?? thanks for the reply
I received it this last week
Just send it back for RMA Can you PM me? i want to try one thing... Describe or show us a photo of your setup. Do you have multiple miners on a USB hub and multiple power supplies? Try running it connect directly to the TP-Link. I had a similar problem using 2 hubs and 2 PSUs to run 6x Hex16b into one TP-Link. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=338790.msg4642613#msg4642613 |

At 2W/GH you realize how big your electricity bill will be right?
What is the cost kWh in the location you are settings up?
278 S1 Ants x 180GH x 2W = 100,080W
Standard home user rate of 15c kWh = 100kW x 24hrs x $0.15 = $360 per day or $10,800 per month.
Buying the 1W/GH S2 would probably pay for itself pretty quickly with half the power cost and it will be a lot easier to deal with half the heat.
This is really only a little hobby, and project for me. I have access to cheap power, 7.5c per kWh and a large warehouse. I figure since I have the space and capacity, the only thing left is cheaper PSU, any suggestions? I have read about using the dell server PSU, but there seems to be a lot of work with getting them to work. I find the 1300W EVGA SuperNOVA G2 offer the best price per watt, 92% efficient, and it's rock solid with a 10 year warranty. It can power 3x S1 Ants easy, even overclocked. |
