PinIdea.io x11 asics

[isoneguy]

mine arrived yesterday for those still skeptical. not horrible considering the chinese new year. on a side note couldnt get it set up for a while becasue the deafult ip is set at 192.168.1.200 and my router was in setup in a different range.  All is well now though with no bad asics 

How do you like it compared to other asics? I have one arriving some day as well.

To OP, when not just buy Baikal? Respectable maker and can mine 6 different algos and etc. Now even have group buy.

For the price (.72 btc )  and speed offered there isnt really a comparison needed with the other x11 asics.  It is much louder that the baikal mini miner I have but that is to be expected. The setup was easy and no problems running 24/7 so far. Would order more if they werent sold out.  The amazon user selling them for $1400 usd seems a little steep.

What the guy said in the post above this one pretty well answers that.  When I purchased it BTC was under $1000.  Baikal is expensive.  Yes Baikal does do the other algos but ROI on this unit is like 4-6 months which is way better than you can get for BTC miners these days.  Too bad they sold out, I wanted more.

Just FYI for anyone who gets one, there seems to be a bug with the DNS server setting where it appears not to update the DNS setting when you change from one static IP to another.  So for example when it arrives and has IP 192.168.1.200 if you just change the IP, gateway, and DNS and keep it on static it seems like it doesn't really change the DNS because with mine it can't resolve pools when I do this if I move to another network.  If you change it to DHCP, find it on the network, then change it back to static it seems to work ok after that.

Have you used any pinidea gear? I think there are pros and cons to both companies, they each fill a different niche in the mining community.

So far I've had the opportunity to try both the du1 and the dr3 and have mostly good things to say about my experiences.

I'll write out a proper comparison and maybe even some guides once I'm able to get my hands on a few mini's.

I wonder if the dr3 could be patched for multi-algo or even a nicehash/multialgo setup so you can get the best of both worlds. It has a built in controller and an update-able OS

Having products available is definitely one of the pro's, a pipe dream would have me comparing the baikal mega and the dr3 but that's a few months away at least.

The real downside of the du1 is not it's price, but the minimum order size. I think they'd sell like hotcakes if you could buy 1 at a time. Ton's of folks could run a single usb du1 but 5 of them require additional infrastructure, like buying hubs that aren't properly built for the power draw. Plus half a bitcoin could almost get you 2 baikal mini's.

Lowering the initial buy-in cost allows more people to get involved.

Let me know if you ever want to sell your pinidea hardware maybe we could work something out.

products are never in stock at pinidea

[klimpa]

true, they make one after you pay them. Would recomended Baikal over it, any time in a day.

haha I am the one organiseing all these group buys, also not interested in buying from a reseller for more.

when will dr3s be back or when dr4s coming out

I would like to contact the manufacturer but I am getting no response on emails

[toptek]

cool i don't blame you that was more for others who want it now and can't wait like me  i won't pay more either i will shop around , like i did for the A4 i bought one on Ebay with out a controller for 1099 then a member here i misunderstood said he would have sold me one for 800 so i got a refund but he said would have so i did some searching and found east shore sells and I remembered a few members here  a while back told me they bought there ..

but i had to pay in bitcoin but I get 136 mh A4 with a Controller Shipped for 842 in about 8 days ...

it pays to  shop around ..and make sure the seller is legit ofc

according to that site the x11 dr 3's start Shipping again on  the  27th of March.

just to compare prices i went to all express i think it's called,... just to see prices ..

Hi!
I got a DR2. Everything looks fine in the GUI in the miner dashboard. I get like 475H/s. 0% fail rate and almost no rejects. However, on nicehash web site, I only see X11 speed (accepted) of 315mh/s in average. Is it normal? Is it a bad stratum server for this miner?
the ping is 95ms
xnsub is enabled
didn't try to set diff in pw field. It shows 0.4  sometimes more or less.

Any advice?

Hello Whats the db noise level on these machines?

[nick555]

It's quite loud

Seen 76db on a site
Stand out above the whole server room. Not kidding

You must not be running any spondoolies or bitmain gear.

[nick555]

OP said overclock is not necessarily good on hash rate. I can confirm this on my DR2. I get a much better hashrate on nicehash (450 as advertised) at the default 400Mhz value. At 450Mhz frequency, I get 100Mh/s less and not much better with values over 400.
