I have finally bought one 256 mh/s Alcheminer at 999$. What kind of power supply do i need ? it take one or two PSU? Is it possible to mine on wifi ? Sorry, im a beginner in mining stuff
You can try and mine on wif-fi but i've had issues with spotty connections , the miner requires a consistent network connection If you have a strong wif-fi connection you should be ok , but a bad connection was a recipie for disconects and rejects for me. I run mine on two g2 1300 EVGA psu's . The unit will pull around 2300-2600 from the wall if you are on 80% effeciency and a bit less on 240v |

I am the CEO of Alcheminer.
I don't know why you think hashcoin is ligit.
Actually, hashcoin is just one of our customer that bought our miner and washed out the logo.
We reserve power to prosecute.
Don't you think it's strange why the miners of HS don't have logo on the chips?
More, what words were blocked by "ARES256" on the left-upper side of the front case?
We still have chips in stock and not yet been made into miners.
Our vendor factory in Taiwan is a stock public company.
It will take response of warranty, so is AlcheMiner.
Yes, we sell our miners in a low price.
That's because we don't want to mine in Taiwan for many reasons.
We think crypto-currency need to be de-centralized.
And it's waste to put these miners in the stock.
So, we decrease the price to sell them.
I can vouch for Tom and Alcheminer as well i have three units purchased in the last month and debating on purchasing a 4th |

This thread is actually in the wrong forum actually.
I'm not talking out of my ass dummy , if you have your 30Amp breakers properly wired to a modern panel you can run them close to 90% load with no problems
some people even run then 100% load. You would expect the breakers to be slightly warm with continous load but
if you are not sure on your wiring get an inspector or run them below max better safe than sorry.
If my wires were warm to touch I would definitely not run that much load your setup is a disaster waiting to happen.
and read my post again I never said i run at 100% load , thats stupid
 Yes, you're right and everyone else is wrong. Carry on, and please post pictures when the weakest link in your circuit fails. says the guy running his circuits at 100% load |

Varporware ......
I hope youre not thinking of a pre-ordering more of this Chinese junk hardware. Now if they ship from stock maybe people will bite..

One circuit is breaker is marked "mill" and the other "lathe". I have always just kept the breakers turned off.
Both mill and lathe have double 20A breakers, so how many watts does that give me on each circuit? 9600?
Since I am not use to working with 240v and have appreciation for the danger, I will have an electrician hook
it all up for me.
Thanks,
Tom
240*20*0.8 = 3,840. So you can safely run 3,840W of gear 24/7 on your 20A@240V circuit assuming that the wiring in the walls is of the required gauge. F that I max out my 30 amp breakers at 6800 watts or so , the cables are not even warm that's 80% rule is really meant for 20 to 15 amp wiring that is far far inferior to 30 amp wiring. 30 amp cables are almost a half inch thing you can max them out at 90% load pretty safely |

The order of 24" PCI cables has just shipped, I don't have an estimate yet but I imagine it will be a week or so from overseas. J4bberwock's 36" PCI cables are due to arrive on Wednesday, but I will be away until Thursday. How many are you after? I will have hundreds of the 24", and about 200 of J4bberwock's 36".
well i need 2 2800 PSU's two break out boards and enough PCIE 24 or 36 cables for both PSU's also need two power cables when can you ship ? |

It depends on your home's electrical typically based on the country you live in. In the US is 120V, but you would have to look it up by country, as I'm not sure what each country uses.
So assuming you haven't done a custom wiring job, use what your house supports. It will cause issues if you use the wrong voltage. That said, 240V has a higher watt output potential, since watts = Voltage x Amperage, so if you have a standard 15Amp 120V panel (US Standard for non appliances) that is capable of outputting 1800W. If it was 240V it would be capable out outputting 3600W.
bit misleading here ... 240V would pretty much be 30 amp and over so actually output would be 7200W 240V is more efficient for circuits running 24-7 your would save 1-3% power use on 240V as well so 240V is ALWAYS better |

We have some brand new Alchemist 256 in stock.
Once we get full payment, we will ship it out within 1 working day.
About the shipping fee, $260 shipping worldwide is the price after bargaining with DHL.
There is the dimension and weight information in our website.
You could use DHL Taiwan website to get the normal shipping fee.
For example, if you ship a Alchemist 256 from Taiwan to US.
The normal shipping cost is NTD12,842(about $407USD).
So, $260 is the special price that DHL provide.
I don't know how to explain that we are not SCAM and have miners in stock.
If anyone is interested in our product but with worries, you could buy first.
After that, if you pay for the 2nd miner and the shipping fee for 2nd 3rd miner, we will ship the 2nd and 3rd miners together.
I can verify that the miners are shipping I ordered two myself and got a free one , but I did pay for shipping on all 3 though. shipping was fast took 3 days door to door. power consumption is high I run each one on two 120v circuits (one for each 1300W PSU) one is running on a 240V circuit and I plant to get some 96% efficiency PSU's when I get some money. Apart from the titan these are the most efficient Scrypt miners right now at around 2400 w for 250-280 or so MHZ and its nice to have all that power in one box rather than 4 dumb cubes check this link for review and pics https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=24945.msg259076#msg259076 |

I have two identical miners with the following config
Antminer S4
Hostname antMiner
Model GNU/Linux
Hardware Version 3.4.3.0
Kernel Version Linux 3.8.13 #12 SMP Mon Sep 29 11:13:50 CST 2014
File System Version Thu Oct 16 15:58:23 CST 2014
Cgminer Version 4.6.1
Uptime 1
Load Average 1.21, 0.33, 0.11
I'm trying to get it to run at 1850GHZ or so using 1.81MHZ and .0680V and 1050W ( following the chart on previous pages)
but when I check the wattge from the wall its pulling 1180W and only running at 1700GHZ
any ideas ?
Right now I'm stuck at stock speeds of 2000GHZ and its pulling nearly 1350 from the wall which is a lot of heat generated
temps are in the 44-49s at night and 50-55 close duing the day

yup back up moved my 10TH over ill see how it goes for a few days
Jeez whats that those users clevermining and others with so much hash rate at the top
|

Site down? Due to issues with Nice and WestHash I need a new home for my 10TH

There are a lot of folks pretty adamant that the units will ship in 30 days , what will you do if that happens ?

I can understand the frustration of the Neppy folks but the Titan folks might have got thier miners a month or two late (HELLO that happens in this industry)
I lost a good chunk of $$ on the SP30 when they shipped a month or two late as well and I'm not trying to sue.
Plus you got more MHZ than the spec 256 , and you got bonus Titans in March.
WTF are you douches crying about ! its not KNC's fault the Scrypt coin market tanked , that's part of investing .. win some lose most.
You Titan guys are so annoying especially Searing.
At least KNC shipped . Go look at the HASRA thread , Fib Thread, MAT thread, Alpha and more that i care to name.
If anything you should be washing KNC's balls if you are a Titan owner since you have one of only two Scrypt ASIC that shipped in late 2014
I can't imagine how this thread would look if they pulled an Alpha on you guys lol.
Get lost, they sold a $10,000 machine and shipped them late in an "alpha" state many people received non working dies ending up with less than 150mhs, not talking about the double amount of wattage needed to run this unstable shit. (not talking about the fact that a decent psu couldn't run it since they didn't send you the Y cables only but one month after that) I wonder, what would you do if you've bought a brand new Ferrari and received it without seats and wheels and your engine consumes twice the amount of gas... dumbass. have you seen the status of the Scrypt hardware market ? KNC is basically the ONLY company that delivered and they sent you bonus machines. At least they delivered. Either way you all messed up for doing pre-order anyways after you already KNEW thy fucked over the Neptune guys a quarter before you. If anything you should cut your losses sell the miners for 5k (yes they are going for 2500 on ebay right now) I'm sure you have at least mined 2-3k worth of coins its not a total loss. Most other folks that pre-ordred scrypt asics got ... drumroll NOTHING. Heck if you sold the units a few weeks ago along with the bonus unit you might even have broke even. er....the Titan scrypt miner did NOT GET A BONUS MINER....we got zip.that was for the Neptunes sha256 miners..NOT scrypt miner Titans....we barely got the y connectors so the unit would not catch on fire 9 weeks late! i've been mining since nov 8th was in the front more or less ordering of the pack i've made 1,700 usd as of today of which you can take out 575 for elec for 4 months....because the damn miners as stated in a prev post was sent out w/o working ALPHA software on the SD of any note first couple months..also you can't really sell a unit on ebay if it comes with two dead dies out of 16 dies like mine or say they get it and a die dies.... and knc refuses to RMA any unit that you can creep 300mh out of it....so sell that on ebay you'd get it back after 40 days of mining and have to refund ..i sure as hell would send one back with a bad die if i got one on ebay....so that don't work well because most of the folk over 60% have a titan unit with a bad die..knc admitted their first batch of chips was flawed but no compensation (knc states consumer law under Sweden does not apply to knc purchasers in that we are a business and this is experimental asic equipment) you begin to see a trend here yet. (bet he continues to blame the victim us purchaser's here) to say our options are limited is an understatement..sure 20/20 hindsight my order was a mistake as a newbie in Oct 18th 2013 I got a knc 550gh jupiter via paypal and cc paid no less full refunds offered..made ROI in 3 weeks! and BTC that day was an even 150 usd ...6 WEEKS later BTC was 1100 usd (proud of my restraint i did not buy 3 newbie that i was)....so i got a pre order neptune with my cc via paypal from a reputable company at the time..in nov or so KNC then decided to mine all further equip of that type for themselves and the neptune being late i 'converted' to a Titan (yeah a mistake) then knc went off the rails sending used frankenjupiter junk....and the slow decline thru out 2014....I got my Titan 3 months late or more from the 'implied' ship date of july/august...so yeah knc went from nun to porn star from greed they made 200 million i heard the first year....live an learn ...but at the time of my orig order and at the time of my xfer to a titan all was well with knc....so yeah bad move on my part but just saying it is all the fault of the buyer is a crock of hooey.....there may be blame on my part.. as a consumer...but there is in most folks view a lot more blame from knc on this whole thing..it is all there way ..hell a 200 million dollar company and they claim their 'voice phone' is broken....it is all a scam...now they will continue the scam with newbie rich guys IPO $$ and their data hall etc..same scam different richer group of newbies so as others have said you really have no idea of the 'depth' of what has been going on here..but i'm sure you will go back to saying all issues of this type are due to the consumer..the corporation is never to blame on such practices....(hey it is what trolls do) by the by on a side note KNC with RMA issues was sending 2 1/2 working cubes to replace 1 bad cube on RMA's yeah .they are saints they are! whatever so it goes live an learn (except for trolls) p.s. to further show us out the door as customers..knc just posted this looks like support forums are now gone. So the only way to get info is on this thread I guess or thru support at knc itself via email....ah knc email...putting snail mail to shame...i assume there 200 million usd company phone for voice still does not work however.....heh that is gonna work well.... brick them units with no support ...allow more $$$ to knc via its 'stolen' bonus neppie data farm i guess.....  here is the link saying essentially for previous customers with equipment don't let the screen door hit you on the ass on the way out! http://www.kncminer.com/blog/newsarchiveah i yearn for the sweet release of titan asic death (ie doorstop) so i can move on to bigger and better future mistakes (hopefully involving multiple co-eds) Some people got bonus Titans , they posted on another board so I assumed everyone got a free miner for the delay. My bad I guess KNC did FK ppl after all. |

Some more stats from wemineltc:
Since: 2015/3/11 13:56:54, accepted / rejected: 3523 / 271
Now the reject rate is the same as ghash.io has with a locked difficulty. Will try clevermining also.
I did find an easy way to swtich to a backuppool if the stratum proxy fails to connect 10 times. Will try to make two failover pools.
It will be more work to get it to swtich back, but it can be done by restarting the miner och pressing stop and then go.
The backuppools have to be written manually in two files so it wont work from the homepage till i make changes to it.
Will test it tomorrow or on friday hopefully.
clevermining is a multipool so that should be a good test , numbers look good still  |
