Is that a command line function or how do i use advanced IP scanner? im a bit out of my league here, i had just been typing in the ip address listed on the machine.

There's no such thing as DCHP 

NOPE... by retweak i did not mean overclock...
 if i leave the house and come back two weeks later.. will things still be running smoothly?

Apologies if this has been answered before. Is there another way to add some cooling to the ants without reversing the blades (to point outwards).

Has anyone experimented with adding fans to the PCB side. Does it help at all? Summer is coming, so any degree saved is good. I do have a box fan pointed at it (a feet away from the stock fan). Does adding a clip fan from top help dissipate some heat?

Thanks

So hey, once i have an antminer set up, running , and adjusted,....
how long can i expect it to function properly before i have to re-tweak it?
...1hr?    1day?   1week?   1 month?   
id appreciate an inbox, would make it easier to find your reply,... thanx

I respect bitmain, they had built their reputation in the last year, but please keep an eye on me and dragon 1T miner, the factory producing dragon 1T is just as reputable as antminer in china

Antminer S2 is coming, the price is 3899$ and promise to ship before 1 Apr,
Here is the description of AntMiner S2 SPEC:
https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140314135446510cxXNeYAy06E5
* Hash rate: more than 1,000GH/s
* Power consumption: 1,000W from the wall
* Power efficiency: 1Watt/GH/s
* PSU: 1000W produced by Enermax, 80PLUS gold
* 4U Rack
* PSU inside
* Plug and Mining
* Stable and quiet

Now you can see whether the dragon 1T miner shipped in 19 March priced 4100$ is worth to buy, only less than 10 unit is available now

I'd put money on 220.

This is a valid point. Is there a way to verify people only vote once without revealing their identity?

Your hard disks weighs more when you write files onto them ? really ?

just ordered some antminers 5 set up with out a problem and the last one i cant connect  to its ip and its network port does not light up, ive tried resetting it and resetting the power supply, it seems to turn on and light up besides that. any help would be good.

No...
I did with black erupter 30 that run 33-36 depend on temperature (its mean 10-20% higher) and never below 29 (-3%). Antminer 180 GH is randomly change speed from 160-180 (in specification) and yes it can do 180+ (some times 190), so it means it can run only 5% from its name but sometimes do 160 (-10%).

What I mean is when you pay it for the first time, you will imagine how much you will get. But in reality, when the product comes everything will be different. Like my experience up there. Diff will be harder and with many new competitor (miner) you got less BTC. So when the product arrive at my house, almost 3 weeks, the diff has changes 2 times.

1. Im hoping Antminer 180 would be 6 times from BE 30, and its wrong since Antminer 180 have about 175 in avg while the BE 30 have about 33 in avg. So it will mine only 5.3 times from BE 30 not six times as I imagine.
2. Diff change 2 times. I buy BE 30 first than Antminer 180. The first time I use BE 30 I gate 0.004-0.0045 per 24 hours. When Antminer arive I only get 0.018-0.02 per 24 hours. Yes it drops to 4-4.4 times.

Im not saying Antminer 180 is bad product. Antminer 180 is a great product, the less avg than it supposed been backed by its good software and automatic works. I loved to see more GH (or TH) product from Antminer...

Sorry Im bad in english >.<

Edit :
1TH antminer is coming @_@

Now Im confusing to buy it or 2TH blackarrow since BA has more price/performance...

Bitcoins do not exist, at all. (mind blown, right?)

Instead, they exist as outputs from previous transactions, just a mark on a ledger. If I make a cold wallet and I send 5 BTC, I will have a cold wallet with one output worth 5 bitcoin.

Now, if I want to donate 1 bitcoin from cold storage I must destroy the entire 5 BTC output by using it as an input for a new transaction. Therefore, a transaction would need to have two outputs (or the change, every last bit of it, is recycled and given to the miners! The sum of the outputs of a transaction, minus the sum of the inputs is equal to the transaction fee paid. Don't play with paper wallets and rawtx!) One could probably divert the change right back to the same BTC address, but the coins are not the same, the original 5.0BTC is gone forever. Reusing addresses isn't really a good idea, so by default most wallets make a new bitcoin address for change and send it there. If you had a watchlist of addresses for a total, it would look as if some coins outright disappeared, when you really aren't just looking in the right "pocket" for your money.

Ubuntu or Linux Mint is easiest for newbies.

Yes I'm a fan of Slackware and actually started with SLS which was pre-slack when I was in grade school.


~BCX~

Well last jump on difficulty was 11% at that ratio is a good deal

I am not sure if that was directed at me :-)
