2401  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.25/GH & 0.51W/GH on: February 06, 2015, 09:22:58 PM
What I can't get over, as other are stating, is why is there no top or bottom? The cheap plastic sides are bad enough. Why couldn't you provide a plastic top and bottom.

I can't directly answer your question, but I've tested closing top and bottom off. It moves temps ~1.5C, not record breaking, and that's SEALED top and bottom rather than more plates which won't seal.


I have ordered my first S5. Got to see how mining works with them. I have been mining with GPUs now for over a year.

Do you think it is more profitable to switch from GPU mining to ASIC mining via Antminer S5 for example? I don't have to pay for electricity anyways.
Therefore I could sell my GPUs (6x R9 280x and 3x r9 290) and switch them for ASICs. But lately GPU mining is dieing so hard. It was fun early, when coinlaunches were made. But there are so less coinlaunches in last time because of all the scams. The cards have been running on Nicehash since over 2-3 months now.

I would have thought that you're losing more in GPU depreciation than you're mining, surely? What coin are you on?
2402  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER U3 Discussion and Support Thread on: February 06, 2015, 09:13:03 PM
Hi!

I have received my U3 yesterday.

Unfortunatly the U3 will not work.

1. Plug in Power
2. Plug in USB
3. Device is recognized and installs CP2102 Driver

Starting cgminer --benchmark ( Ver. 0.4.9.1 ) No Device found
Starting cgminer --benchmark ( Ver. 0.4.6.1 from bitmain HP) No Device found

Replacing U3 with a R-Box or New RBox and there are no problems, cgminer is hashing


Is my Bitmain U3 DOA?

Follow the instructions here, you haven't Zadig'ed yet.
2403  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Manufacturer Trustworthiness Guide [17th Dec] on: February 06, 2015, 09:04:30 PM
Will Dogie readjust Technobits rating downwards given the outstanding shipping and ethical issues?

You already know the answer, because I gave it you SIX days ago. And since then you've posted 5x in your own thread calling me a fraud, when you KNOW the actual answer. I even posted it in your thread, but you deleted it with your self moderated topic.

There is PLENTY more available on technobit outright fraud but Dogie I guess is a paid spokesmen for them as well given that rating seems to be a few of those type ratings in his guide. Minersource to my knowledge has also defrauded at least one other fabricator like the claim black arrow made and have as Gleb said left a trail of broken contracts beyond what you read in these forums typically. Do not deal with either company. Further just avoid Dogie's hardware guide too many inconsistencies with regards to turning a blind eye to fraud or lack of ethics.

1) My guide has nothing to do with minersource, resellers are not manufacturers.
2) What you failed to mention is that order delays don't fall under "ethics" as they are not ethical infractions, something you'd know if you'd bothered to read the criterion before calling me a fraud.
3) Technobit's ratings for on time deliveries and refund issues are too high however, and will be corrected in the next update. See? That was easy, when something is wrong all you have to do is point it out, again rather than calling me a fraud.
4) No I am not a paid spokesman [not spokesmen] for Technobit, otherwise you'd see a message about that. I don't do deals in the dark, there is a reason everything I do is done in the bright light of the forums.
5) Scam accusations subforum is over here, let me know when you've posted it.
2404  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [GUIDE] Strato's Antminer S5 Vertical Mounting Setup Guide - OC with Less Heat on: February 06, 2015, 09:00:15 PM
Vertical airflow sucks for actually dealing with that heat once it comes off the units, so unless you're in a multifloored data centre with floor to ceiling airflow, you're just making it more difficult to expel that heat. At least with horizontal flow you can then DO something with it, ie move it elsewhere / outside.

so much bullshit...

the point is hot air rises and cold air descends, but that is hard to understand for you Tongue
Tell me about it!
And what exactly is that which you can do with horizontal airflow that you can not do with vertical airflow in a non data-centre setting? I'll, for the umpteenth time, put it down to dogie-waffle.

Move it out the room? I don't know about you guys but I don't have doors / windows on my ceiling...
2405  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Need some help. Trying to daisy chain a Prisma onto an AsicTube on: February 06, 2015, 08:53:46 PM
Is it even possible to use the Asictube as the primary (host)
on a Block Erupter controller

Lots of questions here, let me know if I miss any.

1) If you run a Tube and Prisma on the same controller then you'll have to run them both at the same speed, ie either the Tube at Prisma speeds or the Prisma at Tube speeds (not advisable).
2) I am unsure if there is any other conflicts that would occur so can't advise if its possible, just that its not advisable.
3) I do not believe that which A-B arrangement matters, I've not had problems either way.
4) The only requirement in the numbering is that every board has a unique order. Its advisable to keep each miner sequential so you know which physical miner is providing reported results.
5) Please note that the switches have a different arrangement (see Prisma thread) even though they look the same. This may be the reason the two types aren't playing together.

Use a second controller to control the Prismas.

Someone pays me 100% and this is the reason for worries . Dude now you are  joking , right ?  With BCS I have four contracts, the first from June, the last from October 2014 .Four five-year contracts . I paid 11.3 BTC all together and from a few days I have profit . This is the reason for worries ? Where is my profit from HCS?

I think they are asking for proof.
2407  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Philipma1957's attempt to rate current Manufacturers of Asic . Results in. on: February 06, 2015, 02:51:33 PM
The Avalon is too pricey and requires a controller..silent is nice and all, but 0 chance to make any profit.  Also they did sorta screw the mining community really bad...

We've been though this, Canaan Creative is NOT Avalon. CC has sold out of hand only for about 16 months now.
2408  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [GUIDE] Strato's Antminer S5 Vertical Mounting Setup Guide - OC with Less Heat on: February 06, 2015, 02:09:58 PM
While I have yet to try I believe that doing a vertical miner setup with the S3+ Units would also improve cooling. Warm air exhausting directly upwards at floor level will result in the least amount of exhaust air being recycled back into the intake as warm air rises all on its own.

Vertical airflow sucks for actually dealing with that heat once it comes off the units, so unless you're in a multifloored data centre with floor to ceiling airflow, you're just making it more difficult to expel that heat. At least with horizontal flow you can then DO something with it, ie move it elsewhere / outside.
2409  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Philipma1957's attempt to rate current Manufacturers of Asic . Results in. on: February 06, 2015, 02:05:31 PM
Don't buy Avalon... just a simple mantra.

Why is that?

I'm about to buy a piece to put it beween sp20 and s3+(maybe s5 soon)

Ethically this company is one that people should avoid given they cost consumers millions in lost revenue with their chip fiasco.


 This piece of gear I get will be the first one I ever had from them.

Most every builder has had fuckups.

Asic Miner -------------The prisma
Bitmaintech -----------The first s-2's
Sp-Tech ----------------The sp30

Reading the forums some felt they got the correct  fixes some say no.

No point to buying an Avalon given it is less efficient than competition and you will heavily mod it to meet your local needs. Just get an SP20 or S5 or next offering and do the same. Why support this company that price gouged and lost our community a fair number of good open source hardware teams?  Perplexing.

Eh? The Avalon4 is the one miner out of the S5 + SP20 + Avalon4 trifecta that DOESN'T require modding to run at home. Both others often require intervention to get them quiet enough to run at home while the Avalon4 is infinitely quieter.
2410  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S3 Setup [HD] on: February 06, 2015, 02:03:28 PM
Thanks for your answer!!!

My system shows in Status\Overview:

Hostname              antMiner
Model                    TP-Link TL-WR743N/ND v2
Firmware Version    OpenWrt Barrier Breaker r38031 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r9909)
Kernel Version        3.10.12

And the file I used to update firmware was [antMiner_S320141013.bin] I believe. This one was 10/13. Should I retry the next up?

Mayitzu

Go up to 20141219, its a critical update. Download is here.


Dogie... Ok different topic. I have 60 S3+ units running the previous firmware. Im having no issues. Why upgrade if they are hashing as expected?

Strato

Pre 12/19 the reset button's functionality is broken. I'm not sure at what point that problem occurred so if you have extremely old firmware [august??] you won't have that bug. Its very important to fix it as if you get network locked out etc, the controller is as good as bricked.

You'll also get a cgminer update if you're coming from a much older version. [12/19 is very similar to 10/24 but with fixed reset button.]
2411  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [GUIDE] Strato's Antminer S5 Vertical Mounting Setup Guide - OC with Less Heat on: February 05, 2015, 09:17:58 PM
No offense, but if your exhaust air is hot enough to melt or warp plastic, you aren't moving anywhere near enough air. Smiley Six S5's is still only ~4kW, which isn't that much heat. If that box fan actually moved 2500CFM as claimed, you'd be talking about an air temperature rise of ~3C.

I dont think its a matter of melting... But rather simply the fan blades of the top mounted box fan being subjected to 100 F or warmer airflow over long periods of time. The blades may deform slowly. Im running 24 units in 4 banks of 6. Only a single mounted box fan as illustrated in my first post.

Mr Teal mentioned the plastic warping temps as a symptom of the problem, not as the problem itself.

There is meant to be geolocation on automatically anyway, so at least on paper US should be worse.

Are you suggesting they implemented LBR or just do a location based IP lookup (very slow)?

I am unsure how it is implemented.

Me and my dad bought several of these C1's and now almost all of them are having issues with the coolant leaking out of them because or the pressure. He cleaned our his entire loop, used new hoses and went for distiller water with silver kill coils and the [BOLD]VERY[/BOLD] clean loop sat over night running and then he unscrewed the fill top and liquid started spewimg out. There is now way algaue grows that fast, overnight. I just can't see that happening. There must be pin hole leaks in the system sucking in the air, creating pressure.

HELP


It was said countless time in this topic but I will say it one more time. Do not close the fill cap like the water contains Ebola. Just close it with your hand. You want air to be able to escape when pressure is rising with temperature.

His problem isn't temperature, its the algae creating significant amounts of gas.

then you can try to appeal it through normal channels with the mods.

There are no mod appeal channels, very little on here is appeal-able per sais.

That would allow the majority of valued participants in a thread to stop excessive spam fud, and give EVERYONE an incentive to express themselves with proof AND respect, or take a chance of losing their current posting personality.

How does that fix your issue of multi accounting, that would just feed it? The more accounts you have in your example, the more power you have and the more members you can expel. So the more power you have.

My guide; which has yet to be posted; has nothing to do with over clocking. It improves accepted hash rates at any frequency using....actually...  You can read the guide when I post it.

improving your mining power by up to 15% by simply running an additional script and light weight software package

That's a pretty bold claim right there. So a stock S5 will get 1328Gh by a script?

Overclocked yes. Im running poolside averages of 1280-1320ish on the units.

Huh I don't think those two statements can co-exist. Well.... lets see what you come up with anyway.
2419  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER C1 Discussion and Support Thread on: February 05, 2015, 04:31:03 AM
See below. Suggesting its all aluminium, so the coatings we see must be brass [which is fine].

The radiator SC-BC1 watercooling kits uses is aluminum.PD360 radator is copper,only PD series radiator is copper.
You see coatings?Could you show me a picture?

Like the picture on your site, its golden in the threads and in the lower chambers. http://www.syscooling.com/products/Radiators/54.html. Looks exactly like my very early batch 1.
Size of AT360 is 402*119.5*27mm,and PD360 is 390*128*45mm,which size is yours?

27mm. Maybe its not on this radiator but I've definitely seen it somewhere. I just can't think what other radiator I've looked in recently :/

What the heck to do here? These are all fairly neew miner's, and maybe the 90  day warranty had A little part in this, while most are a year.

There must be something environmental going on for all 3 units to have exactly the same problem. If there was a pinhole leak then you wouldn't have any pressure build up either. Did you follow up the RMA offer?
