I feel really lucky I guess I have one from the first Canary GB. I still have never had a single problem with mine running on a BBB hashing as advertised.
Sorry to all you guys who have had issues, honestly the only thing keeping me from getting more is all the horror stories I read here.

your asking price is outrageous
Why is 1 BTC outrageous? Antminer S3 selling for .58 USD per GH/s $255 dollars for 441 GH/s. No power supply. A good 1000 watt gold power supply is another $150 dollars. So for $660 you get 881 Ghs . 1.8 BTC at $370. I am asking for 1 BTC for 800 GH/s including a 1000 watt gold power supply. Why is this outrageous? .46 per GH/s with a power supply, Bitmain is .58 per GH/s no power supply and you pay for shipping from the land of China. I was thinking the same thing. Some new members just like to spam the marketplace to get their post count up. I would be all over these if I didnt need a windows pc to run them.

Bummer that I missed the free shipping this weekend. Just had a full cart but I guess Ill wait till my last order shows up before I make another.

Use jumper wires between blades. This reduces the number of pci-e power connectors needed. I made small jumpers and ran them from the yellow/black screw terminals.
One pci-e 6-pin will easily handle the load of two blades at these levels.
Nice tip thanks!

I haven't yet gotten out a multimeter, but I have 4 units stable at resistance of 2.05-2.15 kOhm, or about 0.74-0.77V. 193-212 MHz gives 93-112GH per unit
Are you seeing lower power draw at that voltage? Im still struggling to get below 1.26w Oh for you guys wondering if you can stack these after modding I did this last night. Two ants down the the size of one hashing 200mhz 2.8kohm .83w ~200gh/s @ 253w . Im working on putting 5 together today, defiantly helps with fitting them in the office for the winter. I set up the fans in a push pull and they are keeping the chips between 40c and 47c. It is a bit louder then before but that was expected. Im sure that if I used different fans it would be much quieter but I dont really mind.

More S1 upgrade kits please!!
you could feasibly use the C1 as a pair of upgrade kits, but its not ideal. Not sure why bitmain isnt selling upgrade kits for ~0.3BTC/kit How many people would be interested in another S1 upgrade kit batch? I would love to see some again!

I think I may be missing something here I have not been able to reduce the power draw after completing the pencil mod. My resistors have been modded to: R3 2.96|3.0 R66 2.90|3.02 R38 2.87|2.87 R52 3.05|2.80
.86v
option 'freq_value' '0A81' #275M option 'chip_freq' '275' option 'timeout' '45' Hashing at 140gh~ with .5% error rate but still pulling 202w from the wall. That is reduced power draw. You'd be pulling ~280W at the original voltage for 140GH/s. Doh! What should I do to get it closer to 150w? Keeps lowering the resistance? I doubt you will get to 150W @ 140GH/s, but ~180W should be possible. Just keep lowering it. So I have been having some mixed results here too. I was able to get 3 ants down to .8v by reducing resistor values to 2.5ohms @ 200mhz have been hashing at ~111gh/s-~100gh/s @ 120w-125w at the wall. Others did not like being that low and would not hash. I had to reset to .84v @ 200mhz but are hashing 100gh/s @ 135w When I move them all from my workbench to their final homes I will re-measure them all and put the data in a spreadsheet to share with you all.

fullzero and I have worked out a deal for 0.463BTC shipped with acknowledgement of S3 having degraded OC performance.
S3 will ship in original packaging with standard post.
fullzero will ship first and I will send funds when the unit arrives. I will also update this post when it all works out.

Actually someone was kind enough to donate me an s3+ coupon last night. Thank you anyways!
|
|
|
I have a few different ones I could come off PM me for details.
|
|
|
Just looking for 1 s3+ coupon someone can donate.

Hey guys Im looking for 1 more s3+ coupon if someone feels like donating I would be a happy man.
|
|
|
anyone got 1 coupon they can donate? my bitmain user name is tflyer.

Title says it all PM me with what you have Im looking for about 2-3th this time.

Anyone know how to make the s1 stop beeping? I have had a dozen of these and this one just started. I cant figure out why its beeping or how to make stop. The unit is connected fine and hashing away with under 1% errors.

I will probably give that a shot...once I get that controller I will be selling this thing off. I will not ever be buying AM gear again that is for sure. If anyone wants to buy this Prisma that has a good controller let me know (obviously I can not confirm it works though).
That sucks you are having such a hard time. I just hooked mine up to the beaglebone and didnt have a single issue hashing away as advertised.
