holly super ants! has anyone tried this service, looks like they are all S1 Ants?

I won an hour of 180GH/s for $1.05 on flea-bay. I know it won't mine anything close to the cost but not a bad solution for folks that want coins and don't have the technical resources or verified access to Bitcoin markets.

180GH will mine .00054 btc in 1 hour

@ $498 a coin you will make about .30 usd.  Thats not a great deal if you paid $1.05

Better off to go buy some btc at localbitcoins.com at 5-20% inflated prices

Nope, still half speed

Be sure to do a complete power-down re-start

Only other thing I can think of is power, but i am sure you have tested and ruled that out first right?

Yeah I did that.

I think one card on each miner is dead.

Switch supply cables and recheck.

Great !

The S1 is rock solid, i love it.

Probably, but it will be a tight fit.

Just try it and check the temperature of the wires after a few hours.
If for some reason your ants would be sucking way more power, the PSU will simply trip its brakers and you can restart it.

Should we even bother asking you guys about the USB units anymore?  It seems like you only show up to announce S1 availability, which is kind of bullshit because you aren't answering questions from current and hopefully future customers.  Not to mention you haven't bothered to update the website with other availability info either.  Show up when it's a good time to milk the cows when BTC price goes up, I guess.

Exactly this.

Were you answering only for getting acceptance to this community and now, " we dont care"?

Personaly ive given up, sent PMs on forum here and emailed all adressed ive found and zero reply for 2 weeks.
I understand that the 14-20k $ i have/wanted to spend is not a massive order compared to spewing out units, but they could atleast bother to reply.

Yup, I agree with the other poster, it's pretty close.  

I searched earlier in one of the S1 Setup forums and read EACH BLADE requires/draws ~15 amps each - so, basically ~30 amps total for each S1 under stock mode.  

Just make sure you check your PCI-E wires on BOTH ends and see if they get super hot.

EDIT: BTW, in one of Sushi's threads, it's "recommended" that you have ONE SEPARATE 12V PCI-E cable (non-splitted) to EACH S1 Blade for safety reasons.

Better to just open up a Coinbase account (if you are in the USA) and buy Bitcoins via bank transfer from your account.  Then, you'll have your portions of BTC.

Do you just not give a shit?  Can you respond to a single ****ing PM or inquiry about other products?

I hate to spam another company, but with Gridseed communication is a mix of Chinese and English and I've had full conversations with them via email about products, reselling, etc., all while emailing and PM'ing you guys.  I have more than a dozen replies from them, shit-all from you folks.  

Last edit, I swear.  The thing that is most disappointing is that I AM A CURRENT CUSTOMER.  I own your hardware and wanted to own MORE BITMAIN HARDWARE as well as resell it locally in my market, but for whatever reason both myself and others have gotten completely shafted but your utterly shit customer service.  Meanwhile you pop on here once in a while to sell S1's like you are some knights in shining armor selling the same old shit at marginally better prices.  Seriously, at the point you folks started shipping I had high hopes, now I'm curious if you're another KNC who gave a damn in the beginning and now you just want to fleece/flood the market for what you can before scurrying away.

Speak with your wallet by ignoring them too! Or try another company

Anyone know how long an RMA request takes?  I sent Bitmain an email and was wondering what other people's experiences were. I have 2 unhappy Antminer S1.

Thanks!
