Hello guys...

I've been looking into the asic world and since I started got lucky a few times and got burned too...

I would like to invest in an asic miner and buy it brand new (don't want to risk getting used gear that craps out on me)
But what manufacturer delivers and what should I be looking for?

I've been reading about the new 16nm chips that should be released this year...
So obviously I would be dumb to spend too much money on a 28nm asic miner...

Any advice would be welcome,
Thanks!

Would it maybe be possible to hook up 4 hash boards on 1 S5 control board?
There are 4 slots...

(Just trying some out of the box thinking coz it seems so sad to have 1 S5 not working anymore...)

Hi guys, and happy new year btw...!

I have an S5 that is not working any more and an S3 that has 1 faulty asic chip already...

I was wondering if there would be a way to use the controlboard of the S3 and in some way make it work with the S5?
Would it be possible to flash the S5 OS on it or would it be able to read a board with more asic's on?

Anyone ever tried?

Kind regards!

My antminer S5 was working for not even 12h when he stopped working...

In status I saw:
asic chain 1: 30
asic chain 2: 03

After a few tries of checking the cables and switching power supplies I experimented with new firmwares.
The 2015-04-15 got me my 2x 30 asic back... but still no red light on the board nor does it hash....


Now I noticed something weird on the power connexion for the controller board. Looks like 2 of the 4 connexions are touching... I don't supposed that's normal, right?
