Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip

[jgm_coin]

I ordered on the night of the 21st and just got my tracking details... no worries, they seem to have things under control.

You ordered the night of the 21st and already got tracking info?  I ordered the night of the 20th and nothing yet...  

Try replying to your Order Details email and request some information politely... it worked for me  

[EDIT]Mine was sent on the 23rd, so yours is probably already on its way[/EDIT]

I sent them an email last night and there was no reply.  Did it ship UPS?  I have no planned shipments under UPS MyChoice....

Yeah, it's shipped UPS, but still in China, will only arrive on Tuesday. Did you check your unique payment address on the blockchain to see if the coins have been removed for it yet?

Yes coins were removed from the address I sent payment to.  My order status on their website says,
"Paid
Unshipped
Valid"

Guys, do you think this is good for 3 or 4 Antminers?
2 in each drawer and then 2 PSUs in the top drawer and 2 on the top: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30192955/

Is it a problem that it is made of metal?

I use these plasic crates from B&Q - they take 2 antminers with a PSU in the middle.
It's a tight fit but the price is right!
You can stack them on top of each other and cut holes in the plastic for power cable access and to improve ventilation in critical areas.

UhhOhh, my UPS delivery has hit the rocks in India - big yellow Exception banner on my tracking page -

Mumbai, India  01/23/2014  5:59 P.M.  A flight delay occurred because of aircraft mechanical reasons. 

Looks like mine will be coming Monday now. :-(

Look like they are all stuck in Mumbai... UPS told me they are still going to try deliver tomorrow. No idea how as Scotland to Mumbai is very far unless plane is direct to my door no chance Monday looks like it :/

Sucks they don't deliver Weekends

Mine are stuck on the same plane. Given it's a 10 hour direct flight and they won't be going direct, I'm going to very impressed if they pull of a delivery tomorrow, so Monday does seem likely

[jgm_coin]

I'm starting to think this might be a scam - orders placed after mine are shipping before mine!  Will my order ever ship?

Multiple emails sent and even a PM on this site but no reply!

Bitmain please update!

God damn it, just checked my tracking number and look at that, same damn flight The UPS guys called earlier today regarding custom fees and told me it would be delivered on Friday. That was before the Mumbai malfunction though. And of course, on Monday I will not be at home, meaning I'll need to go to the UPS collection centre 1 hour away from me after 7pm. Maybe I can change the delivery address to my work address and get it there....

My Antminers are also stuck in the country with the most rapist per 1000 inhabitants.

They will...I do it all the time

Im really green to all this and have some questions.

When my Antminer is here, what do I need?

PSU, 500 Watt should be more than enough for 1 miner, right? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027)
A regular 12V DC power adapter (http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-240V-DC-12V-1A-12W-2A-24W-5A-60W-Power-Supply-AC-adaptor-for-Led-Strips-New-/400553431749) ?

Any more cables or anything else?

Thanks

this psu wont do it since it only give 1 amp at the 12volt line you need 30 amp 12 volt line psu at least!

The Corsair PSU should be ok for one unit,you may need PCIE extensions though,depending on whether your using the PSU by itself (on table) or installed in PC.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812123301

If your using the PSU by itself you'll need a switch to turn it on/off,get the ATX 24 pin switch here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74397.0

Or you can "hotwire" it like this, http://www.overclock.net/t/96712/how-to-jump-start-a-power-supply-psu-test-a-power-supply-and-components

What is the power adapter from ebay for  Don't think you need that.

You will need an Ethernet cable though,how long it is depends on how far away from your router you plan to set it up

Wow, that looks very practical. Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely get some of these.
Do you think I can fit 2x Antiminers with 2 PSUs?
Any holes on the bottom?

[finlof]

for those who have received theirs in the last couple of days can you tell me if they have the 6-pin pci-e connections on the boards already?  or will this be something i will have to wire up?  i only have purchased from the original 1st batch and i had to wire my own up, but have helped a friend configure his a couple weeks ago that had the pci-e connection directly wired into the board.

Nothing received yet, but most probably it will have them

[BuildTheFuture]

I just got mine today, it has the 6 pin PCI-E connections built in.

Fucking retarded UPS woman told me they need to do a first delivery attempt before they are able to change the address. Meaning they will try to deliver even when no one is present at the location. Then I have to spend an hour getting to their remote godforsaken sorting facility to pick it up after 19:00. So best case scenario for getting my ant miner is like late Monday night. Morons.

Maybe our Ants are gang raped right now in Mumbai.
Check your Antminer when it arrive
If it is sticky, then it is probably raped. 
Send it back to BITMAIN and ask for a virgin.

I have been using the earlier grey & black ones that they used to sell, same thing. Easy to move, I have a couple of these dotted around the house keeping rooms warm that we move when we want heat somewhere else. I have found that a couple of wooden spacers help to keep the Ant's cool if they are overclocked along with snipping the plastic out of the out the air paths

I love it!  I was thinking of the exact same thing with my crates!
