Hi all!

There is a rumor that S5's blades conencted to S5+ controller can hash at 20% higher speeds at default frequency. I would like to check it. Please PM me with your reasonable offers. 

p.s. I need shipping to Russia.

I would like to buy it if it was in Russia. 

PMed about SP31.

Fock all GUIs. True *nix way! Watch movies and surf Internet via command line!.. 

Even 5.6 is not limit for me in case of such equipment.

"Такой же" - наверняка имелось в виду, что а) халявный, б) успешно и беспошлинно прошедший нашу сказочную таможню...

Поправьте название темы, пожалуйста, если продано.

I'm ready to bet that you will mark down the price soon. 

There are still presents an offers to buy 256 Mh/s miners for about 1000 USD without shipping.

Sure. Try to update a FW (to newer version or to the same version or to any other "third party" version, like this one: https://www.nicehash.com/download/AntMiner-S5-SD-firmware_cgminer_4.9.0_nicehash_and_performance_graph.tar.gz.

I met a problem with one of two S5s one my fellow has bought. One of S5s was beeping periodically in spite that it had an internet access (ping was working normally from it's web interface). I just re-flashed it with new FW (I have posted a link above) and this action has fixed that issue...

It is still more than zero. 

Why not to deploy your own mini-farm, especially if you have an access to free (better) or (simple) cheap electricity? ROI will be about 1 year, may be 6-7 monts in case of free electricity. Try to use some bitcoin mining calculators.




Here is again the reason to buy S5. It will give you a little amount of BTCs (about 0.02/day), and I boubt GPU or USB miner will.

At this moment it seems that S5 is the best. You can try to find some used S5s in Marketplace thread. S5+ and S7 are too expensive to buy right now.

Nancy from LKETC wrote to me that they will start sales of their new "16 nm" ASIC-based hardware in December. This should lead to lowering the S5+ and S7 price. That will be the moment to buy it (newest Antminers and LKETC new miner), IMHO.

That's the job of my dream...

I'd like to be a Canadian... 

It's better to use a thermocontractable tube for your PCI-E adapter for powering the controller board. 

Have anyone a valid, working link to MCBIV's 2.0.x firmware?

The link in that blog is empty...

I don't know what hashing board is on the picture, sorry.

Even if ASICs are not the tallest components, you can always use copper or aluminium pads to bypass this limitation.   

Let's wait for a while for heatsinks falling... 

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.

Just because I have no any valuable amount of "spare" money to risk. That's all. 

Heh... I would like to get it for testing and playing too...

Waiting now for price drop...
