Hey guys, what is the recommended difficulty setting for a antminer s1 worker on btcguild?

Use a pool that sets it automatically

Oh why bitmaintech, why Had two more miners delivered , UPS wanted 218USD equivalent  per miner. Wish I could just refuse delivery and request a refund and to be honest would have done so if I would have used paypal/bank or similar. Fuck it, no more orders from me till this is resolved.

Are you guys really blaming bitmain for your countries import taxes?! wtf.

It's a semi-nosense
Before the last batch bitmain was always writing on the commercial invoice a lower value (~120 USD), so i can understand these complaints

People are complaining as Bitmain use to give the option of how the item would be declared, most would pick the $120 option.
No it seems Bitmain has probably had a word from Customs and is forced to write the real value, sadly he did not mention this would be the case before shipping/selling.

Even though the customers were looking to be dishonest by evading import tax, bitmain has been dishonest by not telling people their new miners would be invoiced at full amount, if he had he probably would not have sold as much and with time sensative BTC mining and low $$$ btc values, bitmain could not afford to hold onto units. did bitmain know what he was doing...... probably.

How long would one of these take to ship to the US if i placed an order directly from the website listed in the OP?
And how dose customs work? Do I have to pay import tax upfront or only if it gets inspected?

It looks like the fan on one of my Antminers has died.  I've tried two power supplies, and it's been in my unheated garage so a fan is barely even required.  Only had it about two weeks

Has anyone else's fan died?

I've had one fan die, and have replaced several others as they won't spin up past 1300RPM. It's bad enough that I am swapping out fans right after pulling from the box.

Is there any reason I should not just order direct from the OP's website? I read nothing but good things about this vender.

Just ordered.

Could I connect this directly to a PC with an Ethernet cable that was connected to the internet over WIFI? That way I don't have to go buy a wifi antina.

If not any one know the type of wifi antenna i need? I have 2 Alfa cards but I don't think they are the same antenna adapter.

Edit: i have a cross over cable. I'v done it before with other laptops/PCs
Edit #2: Any one know the range on this Wifi card? I want to put this in an adjacent building.

[mephke]

the antenna is pretty standard, u should be able to get it anywhere, and yes it is possible to share your internet via cable through ur pc (could be technically challenging for some), but that would mean u also have to turn your pc on 24/7.

Thanks Bitmain that advance warning about the declaration. Now I need to execute the contract with DHL, to prove the payment amount and an explanation of what is the device is. It will take all week. and I must pay 381$/2 miners

What about Order 2014-02-10? Still not received. Shipping via EMS, but I do not have a track number. in ordering the wrong track number. Maybe may order stuck at customs, but I do not know as there is no tracking number. (ORDER ID: 00120140210142436514glgD1jBn06B2)
Please find my correct track number in EMS

Man the network is slow tonight. 52 minutes and only one confirmation on my payment.

Looking to expand my BTC mining setup and invest a couple bitcoins more.  Is there any other better alternative miner than Antminer S1 at this time that anyone knows or can recommend?  Antminer has been the better option for on-hand equipment for some time, but I have started to see other options, wandering if there are other concrete options now.

Still prefer to avoid pre-order companies, but may be willing if wait time is no more than a month.

Appreciate any feedback.

Could some one link to an appropriate wifi antenna on amazon?

Price change today?

[Tad3j]

BITMAIN, with the declaration is nothing wrong, you can just change the main price in BTC to be lower on the declaration, so buyers won't have to pay as much customs ...
