I talked with my tech who was the one playing with it today... he said the only feature not working is pushing over new default pools. You can change pools, etc., but sending over new pools doesn't work. He said AM "thinks" it worked, but it doesn't update.

The menu structure is a little different from typical Antminer because of the networking/wifi stuff, I'm guessing. I could loan you one if you wanna play with it.

Glad to see the continual support and evolution of AM. You guys are doing a great job.

Any thoughts or ETA on better support for the Bitmain AntRouter R1LTC? I know its probably not a major in-demand thing, but we're having fun with these to speculate on various coins, and they're pretty neat units considering. I'd hope its not too much on your end to bring in full support.

Thanks in advance.

Emailed. And sweet!

Super cool, thank you. I've got one of my small units on it now, and will move some more over this week. I appreciate the support.

It kind of looks like there aren’t a ton of connections to the other coins either. Do you think you could reconsider and keep it up? I ask because the main coppercoin.net pool appears broken at the moment. No other options that I’m aware of. Would really appreciate your support.

Looks like this pool has bailed from Coppercoin already. Can we get some insight as to why?

I haven’t been around very long, so I’m just getting to know your style. I like how you think. Very strategic. And measured responses, I respect the way you conduct yourself, sir.

Yeah I second that. Halong announced MyRig as a distributor. If it wasn’t true, why didn’t MyRig refute immediately? Seems like it was announced, and then poof... the machine showed up on their newly polished website. How can you claim a week or two later you’re not a distributor, or that you might be and didn’t know for sure yet? That’s odd by any standard.

If he’s not a distributor... then under what circumstance did the product appear on his website?

Would like to see AM better support the AntRouter R1-LTC. My team played with it some today, and we're able to connect and switch pools just fine, but pushing new pools doesn't work. Says it succeeded but in reality did not. I believe my tech also said that temp data doesn't show in AM, but I believe temp data doesn't show in the AntRouter's interface anywhere either, so maybe that's why.

We bought a chunk of these units to slow-mine random Scrypt coins. I'd think it might not be too tough for AM to figure the quirks and support them officially.

Thanks in advance!

I don't yet have a space locked in, so I can't answer this. Once I've got a lease signed, I can share some of those details.

My current timeline is April-June.

Negotiating on the space I want now. There is no guarantee that its going to go my way, as I'm being rather aggressive about part of what I'm asking for. The space is ideal though, because it has ample power already drawn to the building, and a transformer on the property that can be upgraded.

My timeline is roughly April - June for launch, assuming this part goes well.

Hahaha... niice.

I'm currently exploring the idea of launching a facility in Dallas. If you hit the below thread, there's a form in there you can fill out to give us some info. Right now I'm trying to gauge interest and learn what folks have and need. No decisions made on our part yet, but the more I can understand the scope of the need, the more informed a decision I can make as I'm moving forward.

At this point, I wouldn't advise anyone to send ANYTHING else to this guy. While I'm sure his intentions are fantastic, his business is in tatters and has been from the jump. All the while he's sitting on a warehouse full of mining units he can't install. He's got over 50-60 units from my very loose count... so over $150,000 in hardware. Is he even insured? If the place gets robbed next week, are you covered?

"Changing" investors sounds messy. I'd be very very careful doing business with Rekt until they get stable. Those of you with units sitting on the floor, think long and hard about how long you want them sitting there.

If you read through this thread that you've posted on... you'd know that nobody has received any of them yet. Pre-sales were for March delivery. This is January.

Ha... good idea. Is the concept that because it's only running for 45 mins at a pop, it never gets a chance to hang? Or can it reboot on a hang also? Since mine stops sending video, I never know just "HOW" hung it actually is.

...I don't wanna nitpick... but in your sig it says "Canadian miner hosting (600 kW+ datacenters)"

So are you a datacenter or not? If you don't consider yourself a datacenter, then what is it? I'm only asking because I think it's valuable to be upfront with people. If you're disclaiming that you're not a datacenter because you haven't built-out the same infrastructure as a typical data center, that's fine and dandy... but then probably best not to also call yourself a datacenter in another breath.

Thanks for that. We're collecting up this info. over the next few weeks and having some long discussions. I'm expected to hear back on our current proposal soon, and that will help guide timing on my end.

I spoke with a few data centers before I decided to go the route of launching my own spot. One of them made me sign an NDA and offered up a very special rate because they'd like to play ball with some miners and see how it works. Despite being discounted from what they normally charge their larger enterprise customers, it was still very pricy. Technically still profitable if you crunch the numbers... but the margins were tighter than you'd want them to be. If BTC runs down to about $7,000 it starts to get uncomfortable... and based on our math anything  < $5,800 BTC would be in the negative (assuming the conversation is centered on S9's of course).

Couple that with the long commitment... you're paying that monthly hosting bill even if you shut the machines off and wait for BTC to climb.

One we spoke to was a little more reasonable, but wanted to charge $75/hour for any staff intervention at all, so you run the risk of losing money on expensive reboots or troubleshooting if a machine has issues. And they wanted commitments in half-rack increments. Ugh.

Every bit of math we've crunched puts us at better odds hosting in our own facility. We can control cooling and heat exhaust in the exact manner we see fit, our costs are the space + raw power, and insurance (which we pay anyway, based on where we're at now).

$172/mo per S9 seems a little steep. Depending on power costs, that's roughly a $70-90 markup over power. Maybe justifiable over the long-term, maybe not. If you have to involve a group of other folks to do it with you, that's even messier.

Just some thoughts...

Funny how a little digging goes a long way. They don't even own a domain name man... sloppy scammers at that.
