I have been running 5 antminer u1's for 2 or 3 weeks now and I have a USB fan to cool them. When I started using them I noticed based on the site for the pool I was getting about 7 to 8 Mhash/s. Now I'm getting just over 6. Is this due to difficulty going up or do I have a miner about to fail?
if you are only getting 7 or 8 MH there is something really wrong. you should getting GH |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

if you are only getting 7 or 8 MH there is something really wrong. you should getting GH And if Gh, then yes - it would seem one (or all) are not up to par. I am not sure what software you are using for that, but if possible could you run them individually? If you could , and then could set each one up for a mining instance then you could compare them to each other. |

I'm using 3 Antminers since today. (They give me about 1.9 Gh each, not overclocked yet- will do in a couple of days) And I'm using a 60 Gh ButterflyLab miner. (That's flat out !)
Beware to use thew right driver before you start mining. To get all my devices running like they should cost me a lot of blood sweat and tears. Try Youtube for some info. I am running all my miners on BFGMiner now. Saving money to buy about 300 Gh extra mining power in the next couple of months. Slush is my first and favorite mining pool !

Hello I'm running 6 U1's and used to get 12gh/s (11.95/12.03) for weeks and suddenly i get 11.30 at its best... They are easy to overclock up to 2gh/s, easy ans stable. Where does this drop come from, deeply thx guyz. |

Sorry still half a sleep that would be Ghash. The site only shows it as 6600Mhash/s as of right now so I'm guessing that would be 6.6 Ghash.
Also I'm running them all on bfgminer and not over clocked. I will check what it says they are at when I get home. They seem to bounce around 1.5 and 1.7. The lowest I have seen is 1.4 and the highest was 2.

For weeks i get 1.97-2.02 per U1, stable  Easy to OC. but not too easy to go upper than 2 without a particular cooling system so far i have seen. |

5 blocks in 12hours we are running good!
And the pool hashrate is klimbing back until the next strike of bad luck and complaints |

Personally I'm less concerned with the pool's luck percentages and more concerned with the price of Bitcoins lately.

It's fine, the lower it drops, the more it will bounce back. I wasn't intending of divesting myself of my BTC for a few years, anyway. It is, I feel, the currency of the future  |

Okay, I haven't the faintest idea if I'm doing it right. Let me just mention I'm doing this from a bootcamped MBP 15'' running Win7 32-bit. Obviously I'm not going to get anything good and I'm not expecting to hit the big money at all Hell I'd be content with .00001 BTC just to know I'm doing this right. But, I AM doing something right if I'm getting a steady 4-7 Mh/s? I take that as its connected to the pool and it's obviously doing something. I apologize to all but I just wanted to make sure. I've read through the newbie guide, and the simplified version of the newbie guide, selected my mining application (guiminer), downloaded Bitcoin-qt and streamed all the block data to my system and my wallet is perfectly in sync with the network.
Thank you all in advance.

I'm running a number of Block erupters and one Antminer U1off a RasPi - after some experimentation, I found that if you have a decent air flow over the Antminer to keep it cool, the best clock ratio for mine is x0a01 - if I use the 'maximum' clock of x0a81, it hashes at 2.2 GH/s but has quite a high hardware error rate, at x0a01, it hashes at 2.1 Gh/s with virtually no errors (currently showing 0.03%!) You may find that different devices give different error/hash rates, so this is just my $0.02 - you definitely want to overclock them if you have cooling though! I reckon 5 Antminers should be giving you at least 10 GH/s |

Now that I'm able to look at everything, bfgminer is just showing 4 of them running. I think I know what one is no longer working. I only see one with out a flashing green light.
EDIT: I just moved it to a port on the hub and put a different one in its spot and all 5 are working again. Not sure why it went out or how that even fixed it. The hub is sitting in a spot where it hasn't been moved or touched for weeks now.

Oh the elephant in the room. Yeah, that thing. They might want to stop reporting in mBTC for awhile. |

Seeing how all of you would know better than I would, is 0.01BTC in 8 days good at the current difficulty with just 5 antminer U1's? From all the numbers I'm seeing with them running at the stock settings I'm going to think it is. I know at this rate I wont hit ROI. All I'm wondering about is if I'm getting what I should be getting. I have had some issues with Windows updating on the laptop and restarting. I was able to get my cmd file to start when Windows boots up after finding that out. I also dropped from the 5 to 4 and I'm not sure for how long that was.
