Personally i would probably go with something like 2x evga 1000 on one 15a 120v breaker. Flip the power bar switch, both turn on at same time, voltage should be the same (mines are very stable). Plenty of cables.
Great efficiency, the draw put them at optimal load. Meh. A bit expensive but quiet and reliable, 10 years warranty.
I think Bitmain said if they arent powered at the same time, the controller need to be powered last. (Probably because the board don't have any draw until the controller is on).

Indeed, i would love to see a 1800gh/450w unit. I don't really care that its double the KG(weight)/GH ratio. I don't really care that i'd have to pay 20$ shipping per TH instead of 10$/TH. THAT. Is what i want. Not some AntRouter, not some 1400w unit that does 80dB.  |

In my experience you can make about $1,50 to $2 per week using multiple faucets. If you get lots of referrals you can earn a little more than that depending on how many people you refer
Wow, what a utter waste of time. And i thought i was cheap when i was spending a few hours a week to earn 20$ from sig campaign. |

See?? Plz set an automatic restart every day. Or 2x is even better.  xD It wasnt even a pool restart. Just a stats board restart. Inb4 any sort of restart magically make you find a block when over 100% |

More or less. I personally got more bang for buck getting a S4, on a GH/$ basis. However the S5 has 0.5~J/GH and the S4 is 0.7~J/GH. Which means per GH the S4 is less efficient. (Cost more to run per GH)
This is why what you pay for your electricity make all the difference. Over here i pay a flat rate up to a limit. So i pay nearly nothing for 2 kW, but the rate is 3~ to 5~cents per kWh for under and above 30kWh per day respectively, for residential and 3 to 2 cents per kWh for big industrial.

That depends on your electricity cost, budget, housing location. Give me/us more information and you will get a recommendation. The S4 isint bad, just the price its listed at is. And unless you're looking for a lottery, you will have to mine in a pool.
Okay I'm living in sweden my electricity cost it 0.08 dollar/kwh I have also 10kwh Solar array my budget are little open depending on what recomendation people give but max 1200 dollars. Internet connection are 100/100 mbit. Something more you need to know? Not really 0.08 is a bit high and kind of in limbo right now with the S7 coming in but being too expensive and the S5 soon to be devalued. Depending on how much extra power you get from your solar array, then you could go for S4/S5 if obtained at a good price. I'm not sure whats your true expense is on your solar array but if you have wasted electricity that you dont get to use. Go for it. There's also SP20 units and such. S5 is just easier to quiet down a bit. |

I kind of doubt you're going to get it for cheaper than a tplink 25$+sidehack stick 25$.
I guess we'll see but as with most gimmicky stuff and pretty much everything Bitmain has been selling lately, its going to be overpriced.

Correct. Slapping Sidehack's cgminer(or whoever is doing the coding) on my TpLink is fairly easy and the router already come with USB ports. I could even put a usb hub and run a farm of them on it.
Hence i don't see the point on the AntRouter. It sound gimmicky and also it only mine to antpool. Meh.
I think it's their response to bitfury's lightbulb. They want some item that is for show and fun. Personally I think the lightbulb was a cooler thing as I cannot build that. I just wonder what price will be. If they jack it up to much on router will be funny to see tplink nano + usb miner cheaper. I think they both could be really neat, the light bulb to say a room is full integrated into the network (lights, heat and router). On the subject of the sidehack stick how would you connect it to the tplink directly without a pi? Are you flashing the TPlink firmware? First you have to have the tplink nano with usb. They make one with it and one without it. But you would flash it with custom firmware it is a very capable device. Most went the raspberry pi route, but avalon has used the tplink with their 4.1's using custom firmware. But it's openwrt custom firmware that run's cgminer. I have messed with flashing the TP link with Openwrt for the HEX miner and it was such a pain and unreliable, they may have been due to the part of that miner but I don't think that sounds like a good solution. Mine is already on Openwrt, it was fairly simple. I'm assuming you,re saying compiling the HEX miner was hard? I've not had problem with cgminer before. |

It's very straightforward. The higher the Frequency the Higher the voltage needed to not get excessive HW errors. The Bitmain design point is for 12V and 350MHZ and they have been slightly conservative with the voltage such that even a worse case miner will have a low HW error rate.
Because of that most S5 running at 12V can be overclocked to 400MHz with an acceptable HW error rate. Conversely you can undervolt (11V) most S5 running at 350MHz and still get an acceptable HW error rate along with a J/GH efficiency improvement.

Thought so, thanks. I'd be more looking in the vicinity of something like 11.6V for 375Mhz. And eventually downclock/downvolt them to a usage of 450w for 1~THs. That would allow me to power 3 Antminer S5 from 1 120v 15a breaker |

Yes, i think so too.  I am also under the impression it happens to many people without them being aware of it. Many have the mentality; "It works for me so you're doing something wrong." without really understanding the issue. The only thing we all have in common is the internet provider.. I am starting to think is has something to do with the internet.. We are using best of the worst of Internet in Venezuela What do you mean in common? I certainly do not have Venezuela low end internet. And i can't possibly see a way how a board dropping has anything to do with your ISP. |

I guess people are still speculating on the BTC value going up to 600s? I don't know, it just seem like there's a world of difference between the perceived value of the miners. I think i'm part of the logic/pragmatic side; "Okay so it will most likely take 6+ months to break even before considering price/diff fluctuation and electricity cost. Yeah no, pass." Versus; "A new miner? Omg i throw money at screen but its not shipping out any faster  ." Meanwhile i'll put a sidehack stick in my Luci open-wrt router and bam! AntRouter!? |

And by the time they switch to 16NM in 2016, the process cost will be much lower and they will be able to jack the price up while still keeping the cost down. Monopoly hurts.

I am curious as to what happen to the miner when ran at over 350 to 400mhz undervolted. It seem like the test results so far were only extended to up to stock and then downward. I'M guessing the lower voltage you go to, the upper(stable) clock limit goes down?

i see that its still paying though i think it will not last for 200 days
I don't see any payment proofs from users.... Yes, no users reporting anything, yet he claim to have many investors totaling something like 400BTC from the start. |

Ok so first I'm going to stick with the trouble shooting videos so hopefully you guys don't mind my ugly mug :-) I had a lot of great advice and I'm pretty positive I tried it all. I'm not sure but I may know my problem after playing with it a little more tonight? When I first got both miners running I went to the antminer dashboard and changed the network from DHCP to static :-/ I did not change anything on my router. I did take a picture of what I saw but it's too big to load. Basically it has all my devices IP addresses except my running Antminers. But if that's my problem, I don't know how to get back to my dashboard to change it now. Thank you again for all the help!!! https://youtu.be/5esmlBuNB6gPosted From bitcointalk.org Android App Wait what, you manage to connect to the Antminer to set it to static IP, but you somehow can't connect to it? Reset it, leave it on DHCP. Messing with that can confuse some routers, since a lease is already ongoing. Just set a static lease (IP) on the router's side if you can. You're like the 4th person today i notice has issues with setting up Static IP from the miner's side. Don't touch it. |

1300~ seem like a pretty normal hashrate for a S5 that would be clocked at 400 mhz~ Are you sure you dont just have 2 miners with the same worker name, so the graph report 2-3THs? Because your miner status show very normal hashrate, even a bit low. At best, a pool glitch. Or a friend messing with you. |
