"AntMiner S1 - 0.893BTC

SOLD OUT"

LET THE WILD RUMPUS BEGIN!

[Flashman]

Paper is pretty solid, and rather tangible I must say. I have a piece in my hand right now.

Money doesn't exist on the paper, it's a promise or an IOU, in contrast the amounts represented in the blockchain and assigned to various wallets ARE BTC. So the paper is tangible, but how real is the promise?

Woot! It may be time to start advertising the shit out of VMC. Preferably the refund issues will be handled asap and the remaining arguments against VMC would be past issues which can be better defended once credibility has been established.

my last post got removed (presumably because i quoted someone else's criticism_ - so I wanted to re-ask it in a more concise manner:

1) How much does it cost to produce one of these fasthash boards? (all costs considered - pcb, chips, components, assembly). If you can't answer this for whatever reason, just say so.

2) You said in the VMC thread that you 'puchased the PCB'. This should say 'we had the pcb fabricated ourselves', since what you wrote sounds like the PCB was purchased from someone else who fabricated it in advance. Seeing as how you have bought the chips from Hashfast, it seems reasonable to ask whether you bought pre-fabricated PCB from them as well, particularly since you acknowledged that one of your assembly lines is the same assembly line that hashfast uses.      please clarify if the PCB was bought or if you contracted out a fabrication for it using the hashfast design files.

Alright guys,

Got the wires in, plugged them into the board and then into my laptop. Powered it all on. Downloaded latest CGMiner (BFGMiner didn't recognize the device) downloaded WinUSB Drivers and it's hashing right away, no issues so far.

You can see progress here http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1FscNBYzd5CqDzUVQ9YapLQNtLbswkM4NL


If you look under workers it will be called Prospector1 - Give it time (like 23 minutes) to get a decent hashrate going on the chart. It will look really low until it has been up for the full 23 minutes.

Having said that we should really have a Bitpay account up BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY because all sales mount up.

VMC has shipped a working miner and we have proof!

I am not a afraid to admit that I am a complete newb/noob/ignorant person when it comes to mining and let others ask the questions about it. I understand the Increase and Decrease in difficulty, etc though. But is this a profitable buy for you with BTC price at what it is today? If so do you or anyone else have any estimates on profit?

Thanks.

It's a stock HF board, so it will run at ~400GH/s out of the box if you don't change the speed.
To get it up to 512GH/s, run the following options for your cgminer command line.
cgminer.exe --hfa-fan 100 --hfa-hash-clock 720

I have no plan to mine in the near future. I am just wondering if this is profitable buy for miners at the moment. Otherwise I don't see us selling them.

I think mining is now all about supporting the network and for those who love the smell of those burning ASIC's .
And also , now there are other coins too , you can switch miners to them and kind of gamble n stuff .

You guys might see it go offline, I'm trying to set the other one up and running into some issues (probably my own faults but I'll keep you guys updated)
