Hi, In China they already sell SINOSIGMA-Ant-Miner-Bitcoin-Miner-180-GHs... have you heard about it? It is the same or better than first AntMiner?

Ordered one a few months ago just to see what will happen...... Got scammed

Looks like a reseller or copy.  Buy directly from Bitmain instead. Everyone selling miners on Alibaba is trying to ripoff ignorant foreigners anyway.

HI all,

I need a little help. This is the second antminer I am setting up. The first one went really smooth.
The second one I got today.

Here is the problem I am trying to solve.
1) antminer powers up ? does not start hashing
2) BTC guild sees it. but it is not hashing. ( I usually use Eligius)
3) when I boot it up the green light is flashing and the other one stays red.
4) I can log on to the miner in the web interface obviiousy...I have it set to DHCP just like the first miner.

any help would be appreciated.

Look like your psu is not strong enought.

"As soon as your payment is received in full you will receive email confirmation with order delivery details."

I'm not questioning Bitmain; I really do like them over all the others, but did anyone who ordered yesterday receive any email confirmations of their orders?

yes.  ordered/paid on the 10th.  confirmation email on the 12th, when it was shipped.   due to arrive in Southern California, tomorrow, Friday, March 14.

Just checked UPS tracking, and its in Ontario,CA.  right on schedule for tomorrow's delivery.

Dang that's fast, just put my order in wed!

Yes but prices are too high anyway, so better to buy directly... the only thing you need to manage the custom taxes and invoice value for VAT...

Have you ever accidentally caught your finger on a 6000RPM fan?

[flounderella]

Don't worry, the skin grows back.

That's why I love industrial fans. If I buy a Delta fan and the spec sheet says 200CFM @ 1.8A/6000RPM/64dBa, I know that it will meet spec and be able to knock stuff down from across my desk. When you look at fans marketed as case fans, the performance never seems to meet the specs they post.
