[PAUSED] batch #40 .053 per AntMiner U1 USB 1.6Gh/s+ up to 2.2

[philipma1957]

bfgminer support has been added and is available to test : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.msg4404188#msg4404188

you can mix ASICMiner Erupter USB miners and AntMiner's U1s.

Will that also apply to Minepeon also? It uses BFGminer under the hood, but I think it's an old version...

I think so, the post at the link has a "Tested on Windows, OS X, and Raspberry Pi (using MinePeon)" line in it... so I assume it does?

I am thinking of getting a dozen usb 2.0 4gb size sticks and coping my working ant miner folder to them. it would allow 3 start.bat files in cgminer  one at 1.6 gh then 1.8 gh and lastly 1 at 2.0gh  I have to decide how practical this idea is.  I am building a new windows 7 pc from the beginning this weekend.  I will use a test usb stick to see how easy it makes setup.  I can't push how big of an improvement these are over the old  AM sticks. 2.0 vs .333 and about 15% less power for each stick.

  these sticks will run at a diff of 30,000 mill  or 20x the current diff and still earn more then the power they use if you are under 20 cents a k watt and if BTC is 800 usd or more.

I have a 49 port hub with 37 sticks giving me 69 gh at 112 watts   . while they won't earn a lot they are still in the black power wise at a diff of 42000 mill according to the calc above

So p**d at the Post Office right now...delivery scheduled for TOMORROW at my job where I sent them!  Good ol uncle Sam just cost me 72hrs of hashing...lol

you might be able to pick it up tomorrow.  can you stop at your post office today with the tracking number and ask for post master. ask him to see about holding it for you to pickup instead...

Just ordered a few up, as always thanks Canary for providing a great service!

Does anybody know the actual wattage of each Ant at the USB port (or at the wall) at the following hash rates?

1. default @ 1.6 GH/s
2. OC'd to 1.8 GH/s
3. OC'd to 2.0 GH/s
4. OC'd to 2.2 GH/s

chip data sheet has some info onpg. 3: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/datasheet/BM1380_Datasheet.pdf
but someone probably has the values, philipma1957 ?

I am philipma1957's other id on this site. this pc is setup with this account as a backup.

37 sticks at 2 gh on a 49 port hub pull 112-115 watts  using a seasonic 750 plat power supply   so the worst case is 3.11 watts a stick.

 it is lower then that  as I have 2 thermal take fans plugged in   and that number is at the plug not at the stick.   give me a minute  I will turn off the 2 fans, and measure again.  with the fans off 37 sticks at 2 gh giving me 68.7  gh pull 112 watts.

           this means   112 /37 = 3.02 watts a stick at the plug in the k watt meter.  the draw on the port  is less since the most efficient that plat power supply is 90 percent so 3.02 x .90 =  2.72 watts at the port   maybe more like  2.57 watts since the psu may be 85% efficient with the 5 volt only load.  

 so 2.5- 2.7 at the usb port and 3.1 at the  plug in the wall  for 1 stick at 2 gh clock.

I will do more at 1.8 1.6 and 1.4 over the weekend.  for now these sticks are fine to over clock .

  since they turn a profit at 20 cents a   k-watt   until difficulty reaches 40,000 mill.  but down the road  when diff is 40,000 mill  maybe running them at 1.4gh  would really drop power use a lot.

back on my other pc.  judypug1956 is me.  I have a few backup ids.

I will do a 37 stick setup and use 0881 instead of 0981 couri

Thanks for the info, guys.

It seems an Ant OC'd to 2.0 GH/s theoretically maxes out a USB 2.0 port (.5A = 2.5W); 2.2 GH/s would be pushing it then.

When I benchmarked the USB BEs last year, I came up with a 3WAC draw (at the wall) at around 85% efficiency.  Therefore, in perspective, a USB BE and a 2 GH/s Ant have similar power draw but the latter hashes about six times more.  Not bad at all.

So, when are they gonna slap these Ant chips on to the mini blades in a Cube.  That would result in geek orgasm.  That's almost 200 GH/s in a Cube package.

 first off 2.2 ran like shit.

 2.0 was very stable seems to be the sweet spot

I just setup 1.8  and looks like the watts dropped from 112 to 110  give me time to double check it. saving 2 watts and losing gh is not worth it.

 I ran 68.7gh at 112 watts for 1 week in a row. 37 sticks at 2gh with a zombie that would come and go.

I will post  on same 37 sticks and 1.8gh it has been running for 25 minutes

After 1.5 hours 37 sticks at 1.8 = 62 gh  and 109 watts

 I will run for a day but as of now 2.0 setting is better then 1.8 setting

68 gh/ 112 watts vs 62 gh/109 watts

the ant chips are in a cube like device.

 the s-1 is a lot like a cube.

   I would like a 10 chip device at a good price that  runs off usb.
 16gh to 20gh hashrate  240 to 300 dollar price range.

   you can add up to 20 per pc.  This allows the little guy to grow hash power and be a repeat customer. Adding a cube at 600 bucks is a big buy adding an s-1 at 4000 is a huge buy.  adding a 20gh unit for 240-300 many smaller miners will do it once a month.

I have ordered 6 U1's from Canary.

Each has shipped within 24 hours, most within 12 hours and one within a few.

Canary is very responsive by email.

It is also very professional that Canary uses the signing of the tracking number to avoid fraud.

I appreciate it!

[FatMcNasty]

got my 3 yesterday, was a drop in replacement for my old sticks, with the new bfgminer. Running at 2.0 per stick with out any issues.

Great job Canary I will buy from you again..

Got mine and Canary was extremely helpful with the shipping (cause I'm such a dam n00b) and delivery.

Thanks!  Will be sure to watch for stuff from you again.

I have 20 U1s left. I'll match the .06 price. first come, first serve.

[CanaryInTheMine]

sold out batch#38.  waiting for more U1s to arrive. will re-open when tracking shows that it's a few days out from me receiving them.
will have a new, better price.
