Anyone have a clue how much longer these will be available?

Anyone have a clue how much longer these will be available?

well... coupons are good through may .. hopefully that means for at least that much longer. u know it takes five days to get usd turned into coin through coinbase. at least for me it does. i don't like to use mined coins to buy hardware. so it takes me little longer to buy new hardware.

heh, I am just the opposite...I prefer to ONLY spend mined coin on new hardware purchases and only purchase coin when absolutely necessary.

hmmm.. well there are a couple reasons to my theory.. first it is easier to claim my new hardware for the us tax rulings.. and second is that i dont have a lot of confidence in the usd reserve currency right now so i been moving new money into different assets and i consider mining hardware as an asset. i have a pretty good ant farm colony mining operation going so i am mining full steam ahead.

Very good point of view mate. I am on a fixed gov't income (disabled veteran) so my monthly USD budget is not very much and the xtra income from mining helps me enjoy life a little more than if I wasn't mining.

inappropriateword you dun goofed!

what a prick

[mdude77]

wait 2 minutes
 go to miner status   no x's   we hope.

   mdude   has an ant s-1 monitor that reboots automatically if x's turn up

maybe he can post a link to it. I use it with windows 7 in a vm on my mac mini  look at the monitor on second shot.

I have a link to it in my sig.

From my experience soft reboots take care of most of them.  But sometimes you have to give a hard boot by powering it off, waiting min 10 seconds, and powering it back up.

These are running full throttle and right now for me the Akust is the clear winner here.. It's quieter, throws more air and... over sized ...

46/48 with only stock fan average

40/40 and 41/40 with the Akust and 43/44 average on those with the Cooler Master

Ambient is ?  22/23C it's not as cold as the rest of the facility


look..

Very stable, productive miner, I like it.

[solitude]

 There's no way you could tolerate being in the same room as these Antminers for very long.

I had some Alfa panels lying around, which work great:



The Antminers are downstairs in my garage, never lose signal, never stops hashing.

A fan broke on one of my antminers so I just put a desk fan up to it, no problems.

As mentioned, you need to put these miners in a room you don't go in often, as the heat and noise will drive you insane.

Yes as pull fans.

I have box fans blowing full blast on sets of 3 ants, so little 120mm fan noises really aren't noticable.

[jewgalo]

correct me if im wrong but dont the ants already come with fans... why the need to purchase new ones...? also is it recommended to purchase a big one to blow on all of them...? do they over heat quick / often...?
