AntMiner U1 "Best Practice"?

[DarkCloud]

Hi all

I kinda new to mining, done some reading and started with a little cpu mining just to get a feel of it all.
Now i have got myself a AntMiner U1 setup with 3 pools, working OK at 2GH/s, dont want to push it max at 2.2.

So, getting the hang of it i have ordered 5 more and wondering on how to set em up.
Should i have em all in a hub mining from one PC, or will it be better to spread em out on say 3x PC, those 3 PC's is powerd on 24/7 anyway.

So my question is, should I spread em out on multiple PC's or keep em together and mine from one PC?


Thanks

Any input on this one?

Well , If you have 3x PC that power on 24/7 , I think you should just spread them , But if you manage to get like 10+ of them
Just get the powered USB HUB.

i would just get a powered hub for them. running more pcs will cost you more in the end, unless they are on all the time. supposedly with soldering/heatsink mods these can get up to 4.0 gh/s. mine are clocked at 1.8 and they hash over 2.0 on the norm.

Thanks for the input guys.

What I should ask for was, is there any benefit to the actual mining, with them all together on the same PC?
do i loose anything mining wise having them on different computers?

All are going to mine against the same pool no matter how i set it up so...

Thanks

It doesn't matter where they are, if they are all on one computer or spread across separate ones, they will still mine at the same rate. However, if you spread them, then  you have some redundancy, should one machine suddenly power off, the others will still continue to run albeit at a slightly lower hashrate.

Quick question to those using U1s if you are using CGMiner what is the string used to overclock? I can't get mine to overclock

Thanks for the input man..

Im using BFGMiner; where its real simple to overclock

- For 1.6 GH/s, use 0781
- For 1.8 GH/s, use 0881
- For 2.0 GH/s, use 0981
- For 2.2 GH/s, use 0A81

Iv set em at 2.0 GH/s as 2.2 dont do so well

No worries, glad to help!

Thanks for the list, I can't seem to find anything about CGMiner and these U1s. It's running fine at the moment, but wanted to try the overclocking. Oh well, I'll keep digging

Why use your PC or notebook? If you can afford an AntMiner, get a Raspberry PI, download MinePeon, set it up and leave it a side, it's more energy saving. There are tones of tutorial out there on how to setup these two.

I begin from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJSITD0sPVY, and can only afford 1 AntMiner so far.

Congratulation to you
