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

[Biodom]

Anyone else having trouble with recent S1 units? I have 1 out of 3 units giving me problems and bitmaintech is making me go through hoops to get anything resolved!!!

Your first pool is dead. To get rid of X-try to reboot by going into system and reboot without shutting the power off. it helps on mine.
Your hashing speed is ~ correct with 5/64 asics not functioning (you are ~7% off in speed as expected). 7% off is still better than to send the miner back.
Good luck.

First pool is dead because that is how it work on betarigs to rent your rig

I agree that if I have to pay to ship it back and be down for a week with no rig it doesn't make sense but you pay for 180 ghs they should give you 180ghs. If they need to send a replacement board thats on them not my problem. It is brand new!!

I did try the reboot with no power off, sometimes it give me more X's sometimes less. somtimes a whole board doesn't come online. There is no question this unit is defective! There just needs to be a solution from bitmain on what to do about it.

Not mining now.  But watching the enthusiasm to see if km actually has something come out the next 30 days.

If I don't get a reasonable response from bitmain I will try that but for now I don't want to touch a 7 day old unit that has been defective from day 1.

bitmain has not been to good with  rma.

the gear works most of the time.
the gear ships fast.

I have had about 30 of them 1 was a dud.

 the dud was a hassle to rma ,

but thomas from minersource helped me with it . .

  sushi the seller and bitmaintech were not helpful. .

No harm trying, but I doubt that they will replace it. BTW, I never had exactly 180, it was either ~178gh on 350mhz or ~191-192 on 375mhz

I have had 10 and they all worked flawlessly. I guess there are lemons once in awhile.

Remember they warranty for 90 days if defective you send back pay postage and they ship to you back and they pay their end of shipping.

If that's the case it won't be worth it, will cost at least $40 for me to ship it back to them. I assume they won't ship me one back until they get the first one. So $40, at least 1 week without a miner, chances are I will get charged taxes again on the next unit so add another $40. All in all if that's the case I got jipped and will not get what I paid for.

I hope they realize on a $200 product it is cheaper to just send replacement boards then to have me ship back and them send a new unit.

I agree they ship fast that was really impressive.

But RMA on these is to costly they should just send replacement boards. Sure looks like I am stuck at lower then advertised hash rates on this one.

Yes. The shipping expense amd time mining is a big problem and it sucks because they are so far. This is the dilemma my friend had with a unit that was missing some screws and a bent frame but it did not affect hashing so he kept it.

Yeah I hope they do something but from the reaction I am getting here I doubt it.

yeah my other ones are about that 178-182. My S2 is av 1003.

just so obvious to me that one is defective though they should just give good customer service and send replacement boards for it. Margins are so low for miners RMA process just kills whatever you have left. Guess you have to know that when you buy from them what you get is what you get.

  as a bit of news ASICMINER may put out an s-1 killer in the x-box   a 400gh 450watt 400usd unit.

well, they just coming soon...no posted prices as far as I can see. Bitmain strength is in fast distribution and high reliability and that takes time to establish, but I am totally open to try- make use of my power supplies.

here is a link

we are  still short info but at 400 usd 400 gh and 400 watts  that would be the end of the s-1.    best case

I am thinking it may be 500usd   350gh and 450 watts  my guess

thanks, i've seen the video, but $500 for 350 gh will not "kill" anything.

New price for AntMiner S1: 0.414 btc each one, shipping cost included.

[solitude]

How many of you guys have found a block with your Ants?

I've found two blocks using only two Antminers since February.

If I had balls I'd be 46 BTC richer now, solo mining.

If you found 2 blocks then you would be 50 BTC richer. What are you saying?
