Either would be pretty nice. Is there a chance either of these can run on my oven outlet? I can't see anymore easily accessible way to get 240v. And then i'd need some long extension cord to bring the current to my living room window. I never dealt with 240v before. I don't see why these could not run off an oven outlet. The only difference is that PSU's do not use a neutral cable (typically the white wire in a 2-hot, 1-ground, 1-neutral household appliance circuit). Also, I definitely do not recommend running a big long extension cable across your house. Not only is it against code, but it can be dangerous. You would be better off having an electrician come in and move the circuit to where your miners are located, sorry. Finksy Best not tell them i run 50A through several industrial grade outdoor cord extension for the 120V PSU, then. *Innocent smile* I don't live in a House so i can't have an electrician come and move around circuits. |

have been. everyone's gone insane though locally trying to either sell broken hardware as working or wanting close to original list price for their barley working outdated miners :/
I live close to Ottawa, if you come by here and of course if you are interested in what i have, then i have 2x S4 for sale, 3~ AsicMiner Tube and some PSU's. |

Right, i would like to go with this. However i only have 120v, which is what i meant, when i vaguely mentioned that the S7 would max a 120v15a breaker. Sorry for being unclear. So i'd need a 1600w~ 120v PSU to have enough efficiency to run 1300w DC under 1440w, 1400w would be prefered, not sure why but i went through half a dozen surge protector (Belkin, APC) and all the one i ran at 1440 or higher melted or such. My only alternative is having a big cord extention, about 15 meters, bringing the 240v to my living room window, plugging a rated 40A PDU or whatever and then plugging some 2000 as recommended or 2880 PSU that Finksy. Dunno how doable that all is, i never used 240v. yeah if you go atx you need the expensive evga 1600 models or a leadex 1600 model all cost good money. 300 usd plus could you try 2 1000 watt evga's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438044 this is about 225 for 2 I found a good setup use this rebate :http://images10.newegg.com/uploadfilesfornewegg/rebate/SH/EVGA3MIRsDec16Dec3115cd12us1.pdfbuy this 1000 watts http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438062buy this 750 watts http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438060both get a 30 dollar rebate so the 750 watts = 95- 30 or 65 usd 1000 watts - 135-30 or 105 usd total = 170 usd use the 750 to run the controller and 1 board use the 1000 to run the other 2 boards. use 2 power strips to the same 20 amp line 120 volt line or 2 power strips to 2 15 amp 120 volt lines. Have all power off plug in everything then turn the 750 watt on first and the 1000 watt on second. do a software configuration like freq ? not sure what batch so freq ? and do the fan at 61% check hashing good to go. gold psu's giving a max of 1750 watts for 170 usd after rebates that is really fucking good. I ordered a GS 1050 yesterday for the same price as the 1000w. I'm in Canada so price might be a bit different. Anyhow, those rebate normally take 2 months to get received. Is there a way to request them online now or you still need to print the form and mail it? I don't have a printer. evga make you print it. also I dont know if they work for Canada since you have a Canadian newegg. Still if you could get them they should be good the 750 has 4 separate pcie cables and the 1000 has 6 separate cables. that matches up nice for the s-7 Yeah thats the plan right no, while i wait to figure out the 240v stuff. I already have like 8 of those PSU's and i really like them. But i was hoping to do not have to do multiple PSU per miner. |

I been mining here for quite a while, but i woke up this morning and no matter what i do, i can't connect anymore. Miners report JSON-RPC problem.. could not connect, retrying in 2...1... (repeat) forever. |

How would you hook that up to both the S5 blades? You just connect all the 4 PCI-e cable ground to the ground and the 4 PCI-e cable +12v to the output +volt. Or 2 PCI-e cable then use 2 splitter if you want to connect less things directly on the buck converter. Same principle apply for others converter, which might be a good thing to keep in mind since that one in particular seem out of stock. |

Ordering these B8 and B9 looks risky.
I fear if I order one now. By the time i get the unit most of the warranty is over.
It takes 6-7 weeks to get anything into SA.
My S5 took 7 weeks. Two weeks sitting in SA customs.
SA, south America? Thats crazy, it took me a week to get my S5. losing 2 months of mining time is like saying good by to your ROI from the start, imo. |

He's limited to 120v I believe, which limits him to high end ATX if he wants over ~1000w or so. Yeah i'm in an appartment so i don't have a lot of options when it comes down to 240v. Well, i could like, unplug my oven and find a way to bring that 240v all the way to the living room window, then with 40A available i could get those. Is that the two PSU you plug with one jabberwock board and you can control voltage and power like 3 S7? That sounds like you'd be seriously compromising your living space... You should make or buy a wiring harness that combines 2 different 120v circuits into 1 240v circuit. Biodom, I meant original gangster lol. Basically, any 165 chip batch. Maybe, but the current plan is 2 ATX PSU per S7 and that kind of irk me. I can't shake the feeling of wanting to do 1 PSU for one and we both know the price of 1600w PSU, which would give some leeway here. Somehow i think i'd rather have to micro manage sometime to use my oven than have to deal with multiple PSU per miner. *shrug* |

Well i could grab a one IBM kit from Finksy, that would work for 2 S7 too. Still the problem remain getting access to 240v. Beside my oven, i don't see how. And on 120v, the S7 is a big piece.
I would be much happier if the S7 was a 2 board thing. 800-1000w would be very manageable and it would be easier to OC.
I don't want to tell you what to do in your apartment; in terms of getting access to 240 volts. I would recommend talking to an electrician or the maintenance person for the apartments to see about access to 240 volts. You might be surprised to find the maintenance person will be cooperative and help. Not allowed to do modification here because of assurance thing stuff. There's nearly no 240v anywhere here, either. I'm guessing we're not allowed to because of set of rules and regulation, limits and whatnot. I live in an multi complex apartment that is owned by a huge company, so their set of rules are pretty strict. Signed a 4 page full of rules and regulation to follow when i got here, lol. I'll see for when i move maybe this summer. Are 240v outlet all standard? If i get a 240v big cord extension and maybe some sort of PDU, since the oven socket is 40A, then maybe it would be easy to make use of it on real 240v when i move? |

Is that the two PSU you plug with one jabberwock board and you can control voltage and power like 3 S7? That is correct. You could power 3 x S7's IF they were about 1333 watts each or less. Others here would be able to give you advice as to whether it's okay to do that or not. I say this cause 3 x S7's would be pushing the 2 x IBM 2000 BB's to their limits. I have little experience with the IBM 2000 BB's. I'm about to get a couple of them to go along with a new J4bberwock breakout board for them. All of my PSU's are IBM 2880's with J4bberwock breakout boards. Well i could grab a one IBM kit from Finksy, that would work for 2 S7 too. Still the problem remain getting access to 240v.

Has anyone received B8 and measured the power consumption at the wall yet? 1300w + 10% seem a bit on the high side, completely capping a 15a120v breaker and leaving no headroom for OC or anything.
My B8 pulled 1362w from the wall with a platinum PSU running on 240v at 700MHz. Would be closer to 1400w if running on 120v instead due to PSU efficiency loss on 120v. Yeah, the 240v do get 2%~ more efficiency. Thanks for the number, but i'm not sure i want to buy a 400$ ATX PSU to get 94% on 120v. Maybe i could find some quiet 1600w sever PSU that is quiet? The two 1100w PSU i have would not work very well here. |

Per my PDU, it takes 6 Amp, 240V. Not sure how accurate it is, prior to adding a B8, PDU was showing 17amp. Well that would be right about 90% efficiency for 1300W(DC)/1440W(at the wall). Some reading with a meter would be nice but even in the best case scenario, i think that is very annoying for a 120V user. Specially since from 1300w to 1500-1600w ATX psu, the price literally double. I am using Bitmain PSU which is supposed to be 93.8% efficient, apparently not. Might be but saying 6 Amp is rather inaccurate since each amp there is 240watts. The way you gave round number make it sound like if its 5.8AMP it says 6 Amp, hence the need for a reading with a wattmeter. Not sure how your PDU works. |

Hi all,
Brand new to the whole mining scene. So as with anything, I like to experiment and dig in to gain a fundamental understanding of how everything works. I was able to setup a pool and get it to run successfully, however I am not sure if my pool config is appropriate, as it is based off a LTC example. So I am curious if anyone would share what their pool config looks like or have any suggestions on setting up the vardiff portion of the config.
Thanks for your time and help in this matter.
Sound a bit technical. We're talking about a SHA256d pool? If you really got pool software to work, then. Generally GH=Diff. Though you would want small miners to have a minimum of maybe 50, or 42  Diff does not change performance so basically beside for more accurate reporting, you'll want miners to run at a high enough Diff as to reduce load. |

What s the status? Anyone else got paid besides this one confirmation? If it is confirmation at all.
I still havent been paid starting form the 28th of september. 1,5 weeks ago marco let me know that bitcoinboy will pay what is owed when he comes online, that was 1,5 weeks ago.... Marco and bitcoin boy, can you please give a solution and pay what is owed, I still have the sign out of trust.... The reason why you have not been paid is simply because you don't have your Bit-X addy in your ‘other info’ field. Please read your bitsig page! http://bitsig.website/beta/and your ID is 191127 * Please everyone check this website before asking for help. IF there is no problem there, THEN consult Marco. Also the bot is currently not paying it appears. So even once corrected he still needs Marco. But since limited internet it's taking longer then normal. It just mean a bigger one time payout. I'm not actually running after this payout to eat or anything, so i'm actually looking forward to a bigger payout, haha. |

 Hello, I don't want use the on-board card with CGminer Autonomous Ethernet Connection. Can i use the mining card on the regular S1 to S7 Antminer product but plugged in USB ? (supply like usual from the 12v PCI-Ex plug). My final goal is to build a heated carpet for my feet (100GH/s is enough for me, because i want to use my regular 10A 12v Brick supply) ... and replace my unstable U3 fixed at the bottom of my screen. Thanks  I wish they would drop the BB and make is so we can use our own controllers or keep the BB and give us that support that want it or way to do it , i have at least ten pi types , and don't use may be 6 of those.won't sell them either and buy more as i go . i love those little PC's. they are so amazing and awesome to learn on . they would save as well and give us something to use our PI's on, we don't use now, I like the plug and play thing with the Antminers but maybe having also having a uart port on the blades would not be much of a difference for Bitmain to implement. However that would kind of, reduce our dependence level on them and they might not like that since they are pretty greedy/pragmatic in their business plan. |
