Thank you for this! 3.5kohm 150gh 213 watts at wall . going to try for 5 ants on 1 psu evga 1300
did you ever get to this? I have 7 ants looking to down clock and down volt. I have an evga 1300 and a seasonic 1000 they run 3 & 2 overclocked right now. I have another seasonic doing the other 2. I am at 1200gh and 2400 watts. 7 with your numbers would be 1050gh and 1400 watts |

anyone know why an s1 might failover and display BTCGuild as 'DEAD' while multiple other rigs do not??
A glitch in the matrix. seriously if you use wi fi . it happens more then if you use cat5/6 wire. as I recall you were doing wi fi. the connection may have dropped on the one piece of gear due to a wi fi issue. I do not use wi fi since I am 10 miles from a naval air base and also an air force base. When they do maneuvers they fly low and wreak havoc with wi fi. |

just want to add, wifi has been fine for me.
good as you are the rare wi fi winner… so did you a) add an antenna b) use 1 ant or many ants c) have you run wif fi for 5 days with no issues. d) have you clocked the hash preformance e) what is your wifi router make and model? f) is the router far or pretty close g) do you live near military bases and or airports. I'm also one of the wifi winners! A) yes, an antenna on every unit. B) Many ants in two locations C) Yes, I have to restart a unit every 10 days or so. D) Yes, OCd units to 400mhz. Units hash between 194-204Gh/s E) Site 1: Asus rt-n16 with dd-wrt. Site 2: Asus AC68u w/stock firmware. F) Site 1: 10m Site 2: 18m G) Site 1: No. Site 2: Yes, ~4km thanks for the info. lastly what antenna do you use? |

If you're going to do 50TH, forget the S1. Get 36 SP10s instead. Call up Spondoolies and I'm sure you get can a discount for a 36 unit order. Setting up 36 units would be a piece of cake.
if he could get 30 sp10s at the right price it is the best way to go. not sure if they go low for a 30 unit buy. |

Seriously tempted to test out an SP10, my Ants are happily marching along, but hey, variety is the spice of life  I have 110v power, will a 15amp circuit be enough? dedicated 15 amp 110 volt line can supply about 1400 watts 24/7/365 . 15 x 120 = 1800 x.8 = 1440 the .8 is the correct safety factor for 24/7/365 runtime. the 15 is amps the 120 is volts I believe the sp10 psu pulls around 1200watts max. |

SP10 is more suitable for installation in the engine room inside, but its price is too expensive! Even if Bitcoin prices back to $ 1000, your investment will not be fully recovered, even without considering the electricity cost.
And the price of S2 is better? It's actually more $/GH than the SP10. And with S2 you get this: You'll need to RMA your current S2 back to bitmain and they will send a replacement out to you. Could take 2 or more weeks.
This is an ongoing issue with Bitmain in general. I too was just hit with a failed part, and the turn around on failed product WILL result in serious loss in mining payouts. There is an advantage to going with Bitmain for mining hardware, however due to their support on hardware with issues, you need to factor in as serious losses in revenue . Oh yeah dead bitmain gear you get fucked on the rma. that is pretty true. Takes a long time for replacement. they ask for a deposit . Happened to me. But a usa dealer sent me an s-1 upfront no cash no coin. I sent him the dead one. Since he is a big dealer he handled the rma for me. So I only lost 4 days mining but no replacement deposit. Thank you to bobsag3. Hey now, don't go mentioning the s1 again. The spondoolie heads are busily pretending it doesn't exist. But if you look up 1 post my fast jump to diff of 22/25 (under 30 days) then really slow diff jump for 8 months makes the sp10 & sp30 a winner Love the quality of the sp10 but my ice fury usb sticks were far better then ant miner u-1 sticks. I made a lot of money selling u-1's I got crushed selling ice furies. |

Thank you to bobsag3. Oh I came up with a model that makes the sp10 a clear winner. btc stays dead flat 400 to 475 usd a coin. Diff jumps like mad from the current 8 to 22 really fast. 2 or 3 jumps Then diff stays dead flat 2 to 5 % a jump for 8 months. The sp10 and the sp30 would rock with that model. better then the s-1 or the s-2. |

now if the op wants he could get
1th miners from bitmaintech the price is now 2529 - 400 usd if you have a coupon
at 2129 they are pretty tempting . he can pull 1 board from each one as it gives the stock psu overhead.
sell a few boards on ebay keep a few board for spares.
much easier to manage. 45-50 machines then 250plus .

@Bitmain
Thanks, got my 2 Antminers nice and quick!
Only problem I have is one of the Blades has failed ASIC's.. there are 3 x's
Can anything be done about this?
Thanks
try a reboot . call the miner up go to system go to reboot click reboot wait until login comes up 1 to 5 minutes log back in go to status wait 2 minutes go to miner status no x's we hope. mdude has an ant s-1 monitor that reboots automatically if x's turn up maybe he can post a link to it. I use it with windows 7 in a vm on my mac mini look at the monitor on second shot.   |

ok. I ordered a 2000 Ghs unit back in November 2013 for (at the time) promised delivery by Feburary 28, 2014. As everyone else who ordered from them knows, they delayed shipments by 3 months, with a new promised delivery of April 30, 2014. It is now May 9th. And shipments haven't even started. So I sent them an email asking about my order. Here is my email. and their response. You can see by their non-answer that they are clearly not even finished with production. I actually doubt that production has even started. I sent another email asking, and will post that response as well. My email to them ************************************** I have not yet received notice of my miner. This previous email said it was to be shipped out April 30. It is now May 8. Please update me of when I should expect to receive my unit. Thank you. ************************************** Their response. ************************************** Knowing that you are already excited with the delivery and how the delay compensation will work. Kindly bear with us a little bit more, as on how the shipment, hashing services and compensation details will all work. We understand your situation and concerns, and be assured that all efforts to expedite everything; is aimed to give our customers the best of our products and services. You can view the latest and complete updates/news on our website's news section by clicking this link - http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/We are just waiting for new updates from the management to be released; then we are to be able to give more specific information soon. Thank you for kind patience and have a great day! Sincerely, Sylvia ************************************** I followed the link to their 'store'. And it is just a basic landing page. Under 'products -> Asic Miners' they are selling the same unit (2000Ghs) for 'Batch 2' with a promised delivery of May 15. That is next week. They can't even say where in production Batch one is, but are trying to take people's money for Batch 2 already. Beware ordering anything from BlackArrow. well you have been screwed ( I lost out myself) ,but they may send out gear. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=335145.0this group buy will get the gear first. I kept 5 of 12 shares. so check this thread. They will get it ahead of you. I read it and I am thinking they (my little 5 shares and hundreds of others ) will hash by June 1st. So you may as well check it to see if they ever pay out. If they don't do that round they will (?) never (?) do any others. |

 But trust me, better go for larger machines in smaller quantities...  The long solid shelf you use make for a nice wind tunnel effect along with side by side for 10 or 12 miners. those look like mdf so they won't allow heat to rise much that setup could be improved using simple 20 inch box fans on the pull side venting much of the heat out of the building. obviously I am trying to get the op to avoid/lower ac cost as much as possible. you have close to 40 in that setup the op would need 5 to 7 racks like that. his biggest problem with your setup is access to the gear. but with 200 plus s-'1 anything other then a line of lunch tables makes the same problem. btw if he gets some 1th machines it is less work. |

Hey guys brand new user here... I had a couple of questions (my apologies if this is not the right forum to ask them on) about this miner as my brother and I will be picking up 8 soon... I will be honest I was very hesitant at first but after reading a few pages it seems like Bitmain is quite legit...
1) i assume we will need 8 PSU's for the miners - which ones are recommended - I do plan on OC'ing them after the 3 month warranty is up - is that wise or are there known issues after OC'ing these miners?
2) i planned on getting a simple metal wire shelf to prop them all on but am considering tossing them in cases - any recommendations? how many miners can fit in an individual case?
3) are there instructions to enable the wifi on it?
thanks in advance...
1) this psu runs 3 over clocked http://www.rakuten.com/prod/evga-supernova-1300-g2-1300w-power-supply-110-v-ac-220-v-ac-input/249973555.html2) depends on the case not that many setup in cases if you have a wide shelf it is better I will find a link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=601245.0 a lot of good info here 3)Don't do wifi. Very few success stories. Not that you can't get it to work but that you need to hookup an antenna many drop outs slower hash rate. If you read the setup threads you will see very few people using the wifi. |

Most gear comes out not a lot better then anyone else last piece of gear that was a true killer was the knc oct 2013 gear.
That's because you don't understand physics, how chip works and convertors. I do not need to understand the physics of a chip. I need to know what is costs to make and how big of an edge I get with it over other chips. Dropping 1 million usd or 3000 btc to design a chip that does .3 watts does not make a lot of economic sense. your sp30 chip does .46 watts. If the asic chip laws of physics prevent a .03 to .05 watt chip. and the minimum any asic will do is .2 watts. then asic chip design has become a dead end. Some would think no but if we never do a new jump to far better then a .2 watt chip. We will need flat growth or btc fiat growth to stay diverse. Your new machine if it ends up being one of the best we ever get means a dozen cold weather super cloud companies in a country that has very good mining laws. A good chip that could do 20 gh on a usb port pulling only 2.5 watts would be helpful for diversity . A great chip that could do 50 gh on a usb stick would allow the small miner to get back in the game. Either chip above with an anti chaining limit(2 chip max) would mean it has be an usb hub. right now You are most likely correct that it can't be done. Thus BTC will die on the vine. Where they are a few big companies and that is it. Jan 1 ant miner u-1's were hot. To be a good deal a usb stick needs to be 20-50gh at 2.5 watts since it is for usb. nothing is close. at all zip. So the entire usb stick mining industry is dying. People are getting s-1's 200-250 usd and a psu . I have sold 20 and set up many of them. 8 buyers have all electric homes including the heat. Big upside for diverse users all over the world. A small heater that pays you back. Well I wish the builders of the new chip luck as I have no skills to build one or design one. |

kendog is correct that 400 amps does not do 100k watts unless the power is 440 multi phase but at 220 208 or 110 not enough power. oh my last shot of the six ants running you want ant monitor the monitor I am using link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.msg6548589#msg6548589but start small maybe 15 or get 3 of the 16 port switches. do 1 into 2. check for latency issues since 1 switch can do 15 switches giving you 200 plus ants. feel free to ask me in a pm about setting up but frankly I am not a fan of the dells |

mdude77 are you goin to offer selectable refresh rates?
I'd really like something in the 30-45 sec area as a choice.
I am. As a matter of fact I'm working on it right now. M Thanks a choice would be nice.. so far works great in a windows 7 vm in my mac mini. |

Well 50th is not a toy farm
I wish I had a space to run 100 or so. 2 more shots four more powered by an evga 1300 and a sea sonic 1000  these have the two fans each. One is stock and the second is the delta running flat out. you always want the pull fan running faster then the push fan. they run loud but cool in the garage. The solid shelf with all four stacked side by side with the double fan creates powerful wind tunnels. I did find there is a ton of heat above the row of s-1s a fan above would help to cool the gear down  |
