[Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.414 BTC for 180GH/s

[flipNstack]

should I have both antminers (which are mining at eligius) be paying to my same bitcoin address or different addresses?  is putting both under my same bitcoin address combing their effectiveness at the eligius pool?

Everytime i see this thread bumped i think there might be some shipping update for those who ordered right before the sale ended.

I ordered one last ant on the 25th and UPS called me last night and offered me to pay for customs. The ant was sent on the 27th and was in Germany last night, my account page on bitmaintech still says unshipped and I never got a tracking number from them.

Same address, but put _antminer1 and _antminer2 etc so you get separate readouts in the stats

So.. bitcoinaddresshere_antminer1 and bitcoinaddresshere_antminer2

Thanks, wish that Bitmain would update that.

Well, I'm now a happy Bitmain customer.  

I placed my order on the 23rd, so shipping took 5 days to Canada. The units were very clean compared to some that have been posted here. A bit of excess TIM here and there, but nothing major. There was a tiny amount of dust, which I'd compare to either 2 weeks of running in a pretty clean environment, or a day or 2 running in a dirty environment.

I bolted a second 130CFM 12CM on each unit (push/pull obviously) and fired them up. I messed up configuring the static IP on the first machine, and had to reset it to factory to regain access. Once that was done, both units were up and hashing within 10 minutes with static IPs.

Next step was overclocking, which took a grand total of 5 minutes per unit. Both are now running at 400MHz.

Power requirements for overclocking seem to be pretty exaggerated from what I've read while waiting for the miners to arrive. For initial setup (before transferring to my 240v server PSU powered "farm") I'm powering both units on a single Corsair AX860i running on 120v (PSU is 91% efficient @120v) with a killawatt meter. Running stock (350MHz) both miners consumed a total of 730w at the wall, or 332w DC each accounting for PSU inefficiency. Consumption @ 400MHz = 825w at the wall, or 375w DC each.

I forgot to take notes for stock settings, but one unit runs a little cooler than the other. The warmer unit has a higher HW error rate than the other by a pretty decent margin, but I don't think temps are the reason. Overclocked unit 1 runs at 41c/41c 2400RPM, while unit 2 runs at 41c/43c 2600RPM.

Ambient temperature where the miners are right now is 26c. They'll soon be happy in my cold Canadian garage.  

So far I only have one regret... Only ordering 2.

no particulr advantage. you can specify thier worker names as *publickey*_*worker* on eligius to track multiple miners on a single account/payout address

Just received an order shipped mail from Bitmain, UPS shows it shipped on the 27th for an order placed on the 24th.  Currently out for delivery :-)  Hopefully everyone else waiting will get a mail confirmation.

Is there any idea, how to split hashrate of one antS1?
I hawe four of them and for one of them I would like to split to the 4*50 Ghs pieces. Any Idea?
thanks Slesh

i read recently that asics showing as
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

didnt make any difference, i have one showing this and mining very similarly to its sister with all o's


nothing to worry about??

Thanks Gents..  Both machines been GigaHaSHin for few hours now.  I installed regular 120mm case fans as exhaust, I get temps in the in the high thirty's and low forties range.  Fairly steady speeds of about 180+-10GHs pulling steady 760 watts from the wall which is supported by a 750W gold rosewill (considering at least 10% loss from inefficiency, I think I should be ok for day or two till new arrives).  I should have gotten some server psu instead, any recommendations for which one would be able to handle one or two ants sufficiently after oc.

6. I see "x" in the ASIC Status

For the ASIC status wise, "x" doesn't necessary means the chip is faulty or failing.  If the hashing power seems to be affected, please check your PSU and wiring and reboot and check the status a few times.  It should go back to an average 168-180 gh/s range per AntMiner.

when you are getting "x" on the ASIC chip status, please turn off the antminer and double check your PSU cables are connected well and restart.  Check the status in about 5 minutes and every 30 minutes for a few hours and see if the "x" are showing up constantly at the same chip or randomly changes or completely disappear.

Is there a reason why my NOT overclocked miner hits 230GHs?
and then at some points drops down to 135GH.

Could it have been overclocked by the manufacturer?

If it has, what are the potential risks?

I have it on a Thermaltake 500w PSU.

edgar, my 2 cents, and I have and have had a few, and some run perfectly but show all x's...if thats the case it's probably software glitch...I usually don't anymore, but a reboot def. makes it go away ( for a while). maybe a firmware update, but I am not risking it.

I haven't had a bad unit with bad chips, but if it nowhere near 180GH/s, then that is a prob. for sure....

[CroverNo01]

No problem I'm sure Bitmain will make new thread or update first post and update message.

Hopefully we see a new product come out... maybe 20/28nm chip ? Bitmain has us all on edge

Cheers
