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

[xzempt]

some tell dave @ mbp to go ahead and just start mining on those 25ghs boards for $400 each....   all 660 of them,   no way they will sell those now!

I ordered an antminer today and paid right away but didn't get a confirmation email and that's the status of my order.

I PM'd bitmain but no response yet.

My order from last Monday sat in that status for 3 days, then finally showed the payment amount received, then moved to shipped on Friday.
Arrived today and mining away.

Has anyone tried under-clocking their Antminer?

I'm paying 2BTC for 1GH/W miners right now,

but now these are going under 1BTC, I'm interested in how many GH they can produce with half the Watts?

Has anyone tried this? Can someone run a test at half the mV and tell me the resulting GH?

If it works, at this price, they could compete with 28nm!

Im going to try this on a set of 24 tomorrow. I will report back.

is UPS or DHL faster for USA Shipments?

I imagine it might be possible to get close to 1w/GH but at the expense of significant hashrate. You would be able to underclock most other devices for similar efficiency. (for example, you can probably get a bitfury system to 0.5w/GH but would turn a 35Gh card into a 20GH card to do so

so far UPS has been spot on for me to LA CA.

does anyone know how much bandwidth 1 dual blade Ant needs?

not much. looking at my router for banwidth monitoring:
LAN: 22kbps IN / 25kbps OUT
WAN: 10/12
Wifi: 20/22

This is between 6 antminers, a bitfury, my laptop, and a 2MH/s scrypt rig.   Its safe to say that the bandwidth usage is next-to-nothing

for renting a co-location, you need the slowest option they have. you could probably get away with dial-up. (This is the reason i opted away from the co-location route; datacenters are designed for FAST internet and moderate power demand. Bitcoin miners only need a basic internet connection but HIGH power demand)

thanks.

nice info, would come in handy. Thanks.

Same here with 2 units I ordered earlier today but when I ordered 2 units about 10 days ago, the payment and emails were sent within the hour but now no order confirmation emails and payment emails, I guess we have to wait for Bitmain to respond.

Yea...I'm ok with that it was just the 'expired' part I was concerned about but if it isn't just me I guess they are just backed up today.
thx too who replied.

antminer S1 not include PSU(Power Supply Unit)

To easy choose PSU..

look Current is minimum 30A for 12 V

why minimum 30 A? this is answer:
a antminer S1 need 360W at voltage 12 V
you can check Current minimmum for one antminer S1= 360W/12V = 30 A

check in PSU about current in body PSU.

It tends to be an exponential curve so running half the watts usually returns more than half the hashing power as long as there is enough power for the chips to come on. The limiting factor for any home mining farm is the Amps your circuit breaker can carry so throwing away some GH to significantly reduce watts is a good trade if it means you can run more Ants.

That is true for under-volting, not for under-clocking. Can the S1 be easily under-volted?

I you call soldering around the PCB easy.

Can someone please point me in the right direction for the best thread on how to power this puppy?

Just got the S1 today and also got the following power supply:

EVGA 600B 80PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V/EPS12V Active PFC 600W Power Supply 100-B1-0600-KR
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Bronze-Certified-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00EON40CS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1394461405&sr=1-1&keywords=power+supply

1) Am I going to need more than what it comes with?
2) I plan on buying another...could this power both or do i need to power another?
3) Is there a guide for dummies on how to hook up? I only have easy miners like avalons and such....I'm having a hard time understanding other instruction threads and they all give different advice

Thanks

Danny

You will need a paper clip to jumper the psu to turn it on.
No, you cannot power 2 AntminerS1's from a 600W psu.

All I have to do is the jumper? I don't have to cut and splice pci wires and all that?

No, becouse now S1 has two pci-ex

crap...that psu above only has one 6 pin pie...well threre's another tethered to it, but it doesn't reach. I'mm guessing it wouldn't matter because the 2nd one would need it's own, right?

There other connector it has is a cpu molex...two four-in connectors with yellow on the clip side. Can this help me?
Do I simply extend the other tethered six pin

There's another sata cable that has for 4 pin flat molex...i have an adapter that can turn that into a six...should I use that?

Return it and buy a real[/] PSU.

that means no -.-

TBH, power isnt the issue, heat is    I have lots of power but winter is fading and i cant have my windows open all summer

Return it and buy a real[/] PSU. 

alternatively, you can snip the head off the 8-pin ATX mobo connector and it will give you moe then enough wire leads to wire to the screw terminals on the unit

terrible advice. You need a PSU that can put out at least 450W on the 12V rail or you will have issues. Even PSUs with >500W on 12V sometimes cause issues if there is a voltage drop when at >90% power demand
