Back to the miner itself, can anyone tell me if they see a pcie plug-in anywere on those three boards (pictured on the Sfards site)?

Site says ：12V DC，6 PCIE Cables of 6 Pin are needed.

It shows the boards pulled out (scroll down), but I don't see the usual white pcie plugs.  I'm expecting to see two on each board. Am I missing something?

well the coupon was for 400 per unit.  so they cost 2279 for 2..   but I think it was a one use coupon up to 4 units.

I gave it to a forum member he ordered 2  paid 999 + 999 + 279 = 2277

This deal is gone as far as I know.

You would open a dispute if they sent you a 90.  The 110 came later on so I doubt many would try to trick people with a 90.  

Some of the A2's did slow down some after long use, so might ask of screenshot of it mining before buying.

yeah this is it and with  the coupon it was 2 for 2279 including shipping.

plus they take paypal.

these are supposed to be 110mh  with 6 blades.

last year I got in over my head with scrypt.  I had a house full of blades  and LTC tanked.

But zoomhash sold working gear and shipped me more then 7k in gear from April to Aug of 2014.

I gave the coupon out and someone purchased 2 getting 800 off.

so he gets 220mh for 2279 and the gear should show in under a week.

while the sfards here is 55mh for 1280 plus shipping and wait 6 weeks if lucky.


So if you have low cost power the zoomhash deal is better.  your 220mh will be working in 6 days or so. 

Sfards is pretty much a bust if you can't get them until late august.

I installed the A2 mega image from the zoom-hash site, but when U try and access the web interface...I get a placeholder page on the welcome screen.  I am aware you have to change you'r routers IP to the 192.168,1 class, but still get this message.  I also formatted he SD card and loaded the image files with win32diskimage.  I have received a similar error with minera, and the only thing I had to do was input the raspberry pis ip and type  /minera.  I know its a simple command, and would appreciate it if someone with prior knowledge can help out

Well, those machines are brand new and only after 1 day standard production tests. We never borther shipping it out to remote area for mining. Why borther when LTC price is at $1.5? Shenzhen factory electric cost is too high, about 15 cents per KW. We simply packed them in the warehouse as we believe new machines do have its value. Now, a stream of new machines are being made also daily,

Neither can I. They were either mining, or inno is extremely quick to turn around and produce new units.

Now, more than ever, brand new A2 Terminator is discounted to give back to the mining community. DO not miss the great and last opportunity to buy A2 terminator at cost and start making money today! To Order: for interested parties, please contact us via email account: sales@innosilicon.com CC: sales@innosilicon.com.cn with your volume, shippment location info, we will feedback you with the payment instruction, order confirmation and shipment date/tracking number. Due to limited supply, it is offered at 1st come, 1st served approach for our official miners.  Shipping and handling is extra and user will be encouraged to arrange its own pickup/shipping or being charged based on UPS, DHL or Fedex rate if shipping is handled by Innosilicon. You can also contact our technical support via Skype: inno.miner for tracking.

Yes, 3 counties are like that.  However, one of those counties has a moratorium on anyone requesting more than 1 megawatt at one location.  That would be Chelan County Washington PUD.  I'm looking at another county.

Sounds great but at what cost $ per gh would you be willing to spend on this?  That will come later of course but an estimated goal would be nice to know.

During my winter I was running 11k watts.   My electricity company loved me so much that they had to split bill into two.  They were not setup to take such high bills for individuals so they split my bill in 2 that their system would take and I paid two bills all winter.

Big plans, that's cool.  That's actually what I am planning right now, starting with a dedicated 200A next week and another 200A in a few months.  Then I'll see.  Electrician is coming next week but first I have to install some infrastructure (utility pole for the new electric line, underground wires, etc.) It is an exciting project, and with summer coming, wife, kids and friends starting to complain about the heat, I have no choice but moving my miners out of the 4 houses I'm using right now for all of them.   

You are right regarding the extra pins on 8 pins PCI-E, they are simply ground, so they don't allow for higher amps.
The power still flow through 2 yellow cables.
And the 8 pins PCI-E cables in NOT the same as the EPS one you linked. on EPS, you have 4 yellow (+12v) and 4 black (ground) wires instead of 3 and 5.
Plus the ground next to the latch on the PCI-E, where on the EPS, the +12V is next to the latch.

Even if it looks easy, and unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing, please take the time to ask when the breakout board/cables won't go straight in the miner.
Custom cables can be made upon request, and sometimes, like in your case, they aren't necessary.

You were lucky, you could also have burnt your miner.

Some chinese manufacturers don't care about the real quality of the cables they are selling for one reason:
PCI-E cable is supposed to be used on a GPU drawing 75w for 6 pins and 150w for 8 pins
So, even with their crappy thin cables like 20 AWG, you should be safe for a GPU, but miners manufacturers are pushing the connectors (and other parts) to the limits to save a few cents.
That's the reason why we can see some miners drawing up to 250 or 300w from a single 6 pins PCI-E plug, and the manufacturer asks you to use 16 AWG or better wires with 45750 series crimp pins.

BTW, what is the hardware requiring the 8 pins connectors?

Regarding the S4, I'll have a look since I got a few parts from one, and I want to play with them.

No problem guys. One thing to note is that not all K-A-W will display the proper voltage. I have 3, and only 1 shows the proper voltage when running on 240v. Double check with a multimeter to be sure. If it doesn't read the voltage properly, the watt reading will be incorrect. They always read amperage properly, so you'll need to multiply A x V (actual volts measured with multimeter) to get your true watts.

BitmainWarranty, any news from the higher ups on what is going to be done about the S4 problems?

By chance do you have a kill-a-watt you can put on it?   I'm happy you fixed it just curious of how many watts it's pulling.
