AntMiner S1-0.5 BTC
Speed:    180 GH/S
Price:      0.5 BTC

Wow they keep getting cheaper and cheaper. So so tempted to buy a few

Don't buy.
They promised batch 1 orders to be delivered Feb 28, 2014. Then delayed it to April 30, 2014. They still haven't delivered Batch 1 X-3 units. But are already promising batch2 units for next week when they can't even fill orders for batch1.

He is talking about buying an ANTMINER from Bitmain.


yeah, i realize that now.. somehow I missed an entire page when I was catching up on the thread lol. my bad.
Antminer actually looks pretty awesome. And actually exist.

Oh, I read the latest news.

May 9 - "5. The first lot of X3 cases has been received. (Aluminium alloy)"

It is funny how the complete assembled units were promised to be delivered almost 2 weeks ago now. But they are just getting in cases now?   Not to mention the complete avoidance of my question when they replied to my email.

How can they be promising Batch2 units for the 15th of May, when they haven't even assembled the Batch1 units that were promised February 28..then April 30...

It seems to me they just keep taking people's money, and making empty promises to keep people on the hook.

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.

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.

Oshero, thanks for the reply..


hmm.. i must be doing something wrong.. is there a setting I am missing?

i had the 7850's xs SLI and was getting 560khs
when I too the crossfire bridge off, I am only getting 300khs.

this tells me that only one card is mining.  How do I fix? what miner are you using?
6  Other / Beginners & Help / multiple cards without crossfire/sli on: April 07, 2013, 12:50:54 AM
I have a ud7 board that will fit 4 cards. I currently have 2 7850's on the board, but also have 2 more in other computers.  since the 7850 can only crossfire 2 cards at a time, is it possible to run all 4 cards on the board independently without sli/crossfire for mining?Also, I am currently using reaper and cgminer. I prefer cgminer if there is a way to do it, but would use any miner software capable of recognizing all cards.

thanks

hmmm. just keeps trying to make me download 'ilivid download manager' that my computer is flagging as aggressive spyware. guess I don't know how to use the interwebs correctly yet.

at 650khs you should get getting approx 2000 or more shares for 8 hours. at difficulty 200

to get 100 shares on that same time frame from give-me-ltc is bs. do the math.

and notroll didn't award any shares when cgminer specifically reported that shares were accepted.

looks like just a link for a bunch of spyware download managers.  tried getting the ZIP download and it just keeps throwing popups and forcing downloads for garbage I don't want.

went to download reaper while trying to figure out why my hashrates are incredibly low, and got this.. Reaper is no longer able to be downloaded.

"Web Hosting has exceeded the allocated traffic limit.

ran 650+ KHS, 3% stale rate. 0% errors for over an hour using CGminer on notroll last night and got credit for none of the shares.

then switched to give-me-ltc and ran all night, woke up to find I was granted 0.001 LTC for running 7 hours at 650+khs

is anyone else seeing this problem? I'm guessing that other people are because notroll.in hash speek has dropped from 2000+MSH to 700 in the last 2 days. what is going on?
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Notroll Lost Shares on: April 06, 2013, 01:17:49 PM
I just switched over to the stratum server. I was using reaper and getting about 400khs on a 7970, so I switched to cgminer and was getting about 650ksh.  But CGminer was automatically switching me over to the stratum server:3333 and I ran for about an hour at 650+ and no shares showed up on my dash.  SO yes, I am seeing lost shares.

You had 400kh/s in reaper because u didn't set device 0 in reaper.conf

actually I did. setting device 0 made it even worse. but that still doesn't explain the hour of lost shares at 650+khs.

where are the lost shares??
