2  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Ordering from Bitmain's website- how fast does it get delivered? on: February 26, 2014, 10:45:31 AM
Hi, I ordered an S1 from Bitmain's website this weekend. They said that my miner would ship today (The 26th, Beijing time.) How fast do they get their products to people? I am in Los Angeles. Are they good about tracking numbers? Will they email a tracking # once it ships? Can someone who has done business with them before give me an estimate, or experiences?

I need to know how quickly I should be picking up a new PSU etc for it.

Thank You!
3  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Bitmain AntMiner U1 Tips & Tricks on: February 26, 2014, 09:17:35 AM
Hi, Im running 14 Antminers, BFGminer, Linux. All run perfectly fine with < .10 HW errors. However I have two U1's that when plugged in just rack up the HW errors. Like a HW error every five seconds. I went one-by-one and found the problem ones, and they don't run now with the good ones. Im clocking the 14@ 2 gh/s. The two hubs that I have the U1's split between are both high quality and Im sure its not a hub power problem.

Is there anything I can do with these two error-prone U1's? Like, can I specify BFGminer to run AMU 14 & 15 at a clock speed lower than all of the others? Can I mount them to a larger heatsink and have the HW errors go away? Or are they just plain toasted and should go in the E-cycle bin?

Thanks

On my cubes (4)I replaced all of the fans with these:

http://www.corsair.com/us/cpu-cooling-kits/air-series-fans/air-series-sp120-high-performance-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan.html

Previously, I would have them up for about 12 hrs in high clock mode before they would get very hot. Hot enough that the cases were almost untouchable with the middle of your palms. (Sorry, no thermometer.) Yes, I was running them in a lousy space with confined airflow and heat was radiating from the power supplies (Corsair CX 500's.) Now, no problems. I would move them around when I was initially setting them up and a few times they got so hot that some of the o's turned to x's. With these new fans I can stack them, or be lazy about position, and they won't fail. I highly recommend these particular fans. They're a little pricey, but move a ton of air, are relatively quiet, and of very high quality.

5  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Question regarding Workers and Worker Names and Worker Logins on: January 24, 2014, 07:42:44 AM
*Question regarding Workers and Worker Names and Worker Logins*

Hi,

I have a number of Block Erupter cubes that are proxied through the stratum proxy. They connect just fine to Bitminter and report accurately. However:

I also have a number of Antminer U1's running under bfgminer. With bfgminer I log in with -u bens.btc_ant1. However when I check "workers" on the website it lumps all of my workers together. Do I need to create a worker named "ant1" (whatever name that I'd use an underscore in the command line) on the worker website page for the separate worker names to properly display? The bfgminer client is on a completely different external IP address from the stratum proxied BE cubes. Or should I make a separate Bitminter account for my u1's? This does not appeal, I would prefer a more elegant solution.

I am also wondering about bandwidth. I am going to move my cubes temporarily to a location served by crappy ADSL. Maybe 1.1mbit down and 50k up? Will I be bottlenecked by running on low-tier DSL? I'm not running GETWORK, I plan to use the mining proxy for ingoing/outgoing communication.

Thank You!
