I ran 2 s1 on wifi for over a week saw no difference in performance.
was experiencing drop outs initially but used a 30dbi high gain antenna and saw no difference between hardwired and wifi
setting up wifi is quite easy once you have setup the lan side and got that working, then hit the wifi and scan add your wireless network in and that should be it.
everything else should be configured on the WAN, and if you stuff it up, just hit the reset button and reconfigure.
I will say the WRT module is bit slow so don't expect it to start hashing on wifi instantly it could take a good 5 minutes before starting.
when adding wifi DO NOT change any the IP settings on wifi, that's all done on the wan not wifi section.

This happened to me no lights, fan came on instantly when turned on, was able to connect to it, set it up, pools said alive but hash rate was zero! I had someone help me ( this person has a mining farm) He confirmed for me s1 was faulty, I contacted Bitmain they asked me to disassemble miner and send back parts, I complied sent back two hashing boards one controller board and voluntarily sent the connecting ribbons. Two weeks later received s1 back only to find they've sent back my old hashing boards and controller complete with thermal paste minus connecting ribbons ( 2 8pin and 1 4pin ). You can guess how I feel right now.
Yeh I would know how that feels, same feeling when UPS told me my antminer was delivered and signed for when clearly it wasn't me. Well If I were in your shoes I would contact bitmain and ask for the ribbons, and at the same time, probably go down to some electronics or security alarm shop and see if they got connecting ribbons, there should be enough images on the net to work out which is pin1 on both ends. Just get one blade working first |

I started around the 4.8m difficulty mark
My mining rig consisted of i5 with 7970 and a 7870 and was producing about 0.1BTC a day
Was also mining on 10x dual Xeon 5630 but all that did was like 120MHs compared to my 1GH on gpu's
Left just before Avalon batch 3's were meant to be delivered, as I had other things that needed my attention.
Came back because I heard that KNC was down to 28nm which is a huge improvement from the 110nm process by Avalon, although KNC uses a structured ASIC design which I think its just a glorified FPGA so not truly optimised ASIC.
Just got my first Antminer S1 about 3 weeks ago for 0.9something BTC and another one 2 weeks ago for 0.89seomthing
I smile every time I look at my S1's and I think wow I just saw the evolution of chip design that went from Pentium 4 Northwood to i5 ivy bridge in the span of less than a year and it only took Intel nearly 14 years to do that same thing. I still love hardware today, ever since my first Olivetti IBM XT clone computer and mucking around with DIP switches and jumpers. So mining is just for fun never really saw it as more than a hobby.

mate good luck on the group buy, probably the best deal I have seen, just cant cough the cash in time for this one

You're in RoadStress group sale thread. Did you read the PM ? The hardware cost is much cheaper... Guy, I have a lot of respect for what you do (and I'm originally from Israel as well), but even adjusted to $4995 per unit, it appears the SP30 doesn't ROI. Again, this is assuming 19% difficulty increase every 2 weeks, current BTC prices, and timely delivery. I encourage people to look through my spreadsheet and verify my calculations. So base on your calculation, your saying by August, that the network would have grown by 4x or 28b difficulty or 200ph or 37,000 (1m rocker chips)5th machines or 150,000 1th (3.75m a1 chips)machines. I am more than sure that there are enough buyers to sustain that, but it seems like a lot of miners are being produced by very fair little companies. |

Hi guys,
I've put off commenting here seeking for help until I had tried troubleshooting the problem myself. I've been trying to find out what's wrong with my setup for a few days now but have had no luck.
I've been having trouble setting up my Antminer S1. I've followed the tutorial posted here but still nothing.
I'll provide as much information that I think is relevant in the hopes that someone can help me.
I have 1 miner which is being powered by a 'PowerCool X-Viper 450W 80+' which I purchased from eBuyer. The miner is hooked up to one cable with an 8pin plugged into the PSU which splits off into two 6 pin cables which are plugged into the miner. After plugging everything in and following the tutorial I switch on the PSU, the fan starts up (it's pretty loud), but no lights come on as the tutorial says should.
The network cable runs to my switch box (two cables are connected to the switch, 1 to the miner and 1 to my PC) an additional cable then runs from the switch, downstairs to my living room where my broadband router is. I've tried multiple network cables and still nothing happens so it's not a faulty cable problem.
When I follow the network setup instruction provided in the tutorial I lose internet access and I cannot connect to my miner. My miner address is 192.169.1.99 if that's any help.
If anyone needs any additional information to try and help me I'd be more than happy to provide it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Have you tried changing to a different power supply? I mean for it to have no lights I would be guessing that the thing is not completely turned on hence you can not access it also try doing a factory reset on it by pressing the very tiny little button on the board that has the Ethernet connection |

um that power supply is probably a no go
rail 1 has 14amps and the rail 2 has 15 amps
if im not mistaken you need about 16 amps per board or 32 amps per antminer s1 using 12V

I would love to get my hands on bentoel
but Australia has a 40cent tariff per stick and add gst and paperwork
be easier for me to fly over but yeah like the taste of that

Anyone able to give me an indication of how long one of these would take to ship to Perth, Western Australia?
Thanks.
I ordered mine on Saturday left China Monday and it was delivered on Wednesday to Sydney using UPS just the UPS guy delivered it to next door instead of my unit. Just ordered a 2nd unit today Wow, that's quick. What about price on goods declaration, am keen to buy two, but wont if I end up getting slugged by Customs. Thanks Australia has no fees for goods under $1000 so no worries hence retailers kicking up a stink if you want I could organise something as I have an office NoR |

like I said you need to power something on the 5v cable so that the power supply can balance the power.

was doing bit of research when I bought my PSU just in case this would happen anyways I refer anyone have list for power supply that work with S1 ?
I just kill a Corsair VS550 after 3 minutes powering S1.
one member say use corsair RM850, any cheaper ?
Is it actually dead? The problem is that the VS series is group regulated, so it uses both the 5V line and the 12V line in its feedback circuit. If you draw current from only the 12V rail, the voltage on the 12V rail will drop a lot (sometimes under 11V) and the 5V rail will go really high, which can cause it to shut down. I have a VX450 that is similar, it will shut down if I try to run a Single or S1 on it, but if I draw 1A from the 5V rail it runs fine. so you need to suck up 1Amp usage on the 5V cable |

For those Ant's S1 who are living in Australia, I wanted to find an alternative other than using Corsair.
I wanted to power 2xS1's and from what I read, I needed a PSU that could deliver more than 32amps per S1 if I wanted to overclock it.
As from previous posts on the forum, most people went for Corsairs AX-1200 which I found the cheapest at AUD$350 or RM-1000 for just under AUD$250
Seasonic's were bit more pricey but as most people know they make damn good power supplies.
So wanting something made by Seasonic I decided to get the Cooler Master V1000 from what I read, it is built by Seasonic and it provides a single 12v rail delivering a total of 83Amps or 996watts. This can be picked up at for less than AUD$240
Another option would be to get a FSP Aurum Gold 1000 for less than AUD$220, however don't know how good they will perform.

An update on my UPS delivery and What a nightmare it has been dealing with UPS.
In calling them immediately as I've found out, I would of expected them to contact the driver while information is still fresh. Instead, in the case of the delivery being someone else other than yourself, The UPS procedure is for the receiver to contact the sender and have the sender contact UPS and raise an internal investigation as the agreement is with the sender and not the receiver.
I've always thought it was the obligation of the delivery service provider is to ensure that the delivery takes place and the receiver receives the parcel, I guess my logic does not apply to the real world.
In any case, I contacted the police and they have said the responsibility is with UPS as they are liable to deliver my package to the correct destination and person. Criminal proceedings is now taking place as I now have the proof of signature and can prove its not mine.

If memory serves me well, copper is better for transferring the heat, while aluminium is better to dissipate the heat. So therefore wouldn't copper heat sinks be better for this sort of applications? I also live in Australia and fark me its been BS hot. So upon ordering my Antminer S1, I've been looking on ways on how to cool these beasts down. All the forged copper heat sinks sizes that I can purchase within Australia are: 6.5mm x 6.5mm 10mm x 10mm and 14mm x 14mm  now according to the specification listed, the physical dimensions are as follows: The BM1380 chip is a QFN 56 with an overall dimension of 8mm x 8mm The VRM is using IHLP5050 which according to Vishay is 12.9mm x 13.2mm The main question I ask to other owners Is there enough spacing between the asic chip and the capacitors to fit a 10mm x 10mm (given the copper ones are 0.6mm overall bigger than those ebay ones), hopefully this can be rectified by using 1.5mm Phobya Thermal Pad Is there enough spacing between the VRM and the F12 capacitor to fit a 14mm x 14mm as it is overall 1.5mm bigger. |

I've got some family over there whom work with some expeditors, I would think we could work something out but you have to remember everything still speculation until products have been developed
