I still could not figure out why Bitmain G2 uses more expensive CPU, RAM and SSD than G1's.

Even though I have no clue about GPU rigs, I would say they go with the normal principle of "Someone always wants to pay premium and buy the most expensive"

Hello
can anyone help me with the setup of this G2 miner, got in few days ago spent day and night and its not working, no support from bitmain as usual, seem like one of the crap miner they made.
ok here is the story
its came with centos 7 which never used it anyway they also put folder of claymore 9.7 which i tried and give error message of OpenCL error - 4 - cannot create DAG on GPU in the read me file says something to do with virtual memory but how to increase this
on 2nd machine g2 i put windows 10 after too much struggle finally fiudn the drivers but only 8 cards supporting when i put 8th card this crash the system
my advice not to buy these g1 nor g2 waste of money and time

No idea if it’ll support your G2 or not but you could try nvOC https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.4100

I think it is a bit better to build your own, more fun to. I agree. I'm making my own now. Not only it's more fun but if you take some time finding some good deals locally, you can build a 220MH/s it at less than half Bitmain's price. Especially in Europe that that 3k usd translates to 4k euro after import. And there is the resale value people have mentioned. A custom made rig can break and sell the part individually at some times above cost. Who is gonna buy Bitmain's custon 570s?

Well....what a surprise.....another large corporation that is trying to crush any opportunity for regular civilians to make a business or money on their own. A large corporation that has more money than they could ever spend. This time hopefully they stepped in it. The Bitmain ASIC's business model, does not appear to carry over well to the GPU market. It is inherently grass roots and homegrown. I hope like Hell it can stay that way.

Basically this Bitmain GPU Miner is for the lazy.
Next they'll be bringing out their own Bitmain Blockchain and Exchange.

I agree that's what it is and i do hope this time bit main has there ass handed to them for being greedy ... I hope it stays that way to: the GPU market. is inherently grass roots and homegrown. I hope like Hell it can stay that way. speaking of grass root nm i won't go there .....

GPU mining seems like the only thing left in Crypto that adheres to the original ethos of how this was intended. Hell with all this corporate rape.

I just noticed that Bitmain has released two GPU miner models at their Chinese section of the web page. Bitmain G1: https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020170911150755910CdnPsxhK06F9https://i.imgur.com/lmbFaAs.jpgG1 specifications: 1. CPU: Inter Broadwell-u 3215 or 3205 2. Memory: 4GB SO-DIMM, DDR3 / L-1600 3. Hard disk: 1 x Msata 64G SSD 4. Ethernet: 1 x 10M / 100M / 1000Mbps (Intel I210-AT) 5. USB interface: 2 x USB2.0 6. Display interface: 1 x HDMI 7. Graphics card: 8 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 8. Calculus: ETH Hash Rate: 200MHash ± 10% 9. Carton size: 530mm x 320mm x 160mm 10. Weight: 12.5Kg (without power) Precautions: 1. Chassis deformation or heat sink off, please do not power, contact after-sales processing. 2. It is recommended to use ants pool ( www.antpool.com ) 3. It is recommended to use APW3 ++ power supply Bitmain G2: https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020170911160838626L7JGrkzY06C1https://i.imgur.com/nKVHYg2.jpgG2 specifications: 1. CPU: Inter Skylake-s G3900-LGA1151, PCH-B150 2. Memory: 8GB UDIMM, DDR4 -2133 3. Hard disk: 1 x 2.5inch Sata 128G SSD 4. Ethernet: 1 x 10M / 100M / 1000Mbps (Intel I210-AT) 5. USB interface: 2 x USB3.0 6. Display interface: 1 x VGA 7. Graphics card: 8 x AMD Radeon RX570, GDDR5 8. Calculus: ETH Hash Rate: 220MHash ± 10% 12. Carton size: 555mm x 445mm x 132mm 13. Weight: 15Kg (including power) Precautions: 1. Chassis deformation or heat sink off, please do not power, contact after-sales processing. 2. Can not use two power strips with the same operator board. 3. Suggested use of ants pool ( www.antpool.com ) Any thoughts about these GPU card miners? I was pretty surprised to suddenly find these. I prefer to build my own and these depend on price if thye are cheap from China they will sell and they only seem available for the Chinise so I dont no why they are debatable

Wonder if anyone has actually bought any of these. Considering the entire miner is pretty much fully custom it'd be hard to resell its parts and it's cheaper to just build it yourself. Besides that you will also need to pay for shipping from China and customs, and Bitmain also has a horrible record as of now.

my advice not to buy these g1 nor g2 waste of money and time
So you dont know what you are doing and that is bitmains fault? God its disgusting how everyone uses bitmain as the scapegoat for everything. How dare they become a successful company when others have failed? I mean they should just close up shop right?

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Does anyone know the hashrate for these G2?
Bitmain is going to release them soon again (to buy), wondering if its worth.

G2 is 220
It is listed on their Chinese site but not available, conversion is about $4300 USD.
