ANTMINER S2 Discussion and Support Thread

[krfighter]

I have 10 x S2 coupons, PM me if you are interested.

On another note, has anybody figured out why there are so many duplicates with S2? I have Dragon miner and a few S1s and none of them show that many duplicates

I have for sale:
3x AntMiner S2 Coupon 400 USD valid to 2014-05-30

I offer these for 0.07 BTC each. There's a new donate feature on bitmain's web page so the coupons are easy to transfer.

Let me know if interested.

Faetos!!! Thank you!!!!!
Taipo!!! Thank you!!!!!
I received your coupons and they will help out.  I am wanting to make a mad dash for miners as the difficulty climbs.  Crazy, I know!!! I am hoping to  grab about 5 of these babies within the next month.

You're welcome! I'm glad you could use them. What a great idea for the donation feature, bitmain.

Why people charging for coupons, where is the community spirit? I am giving them away for free or donate some BTC to BitcoinTalk

For every new miner the value of all existing miners decline. If there were a community spirit we would refrain from buying more miners.

I have some s2 coupons.  2  of them.


Also     if any one has an s1 I would like 1 coupon.


philipma1957 is the bitmain name.



I got 1 s1 coupon and I traded off 1 s2.

 So I have 1 s2 left  .

I sent the second and last S2 coupon to miniMiner.  miniMiner please send the s-1 to me.


Thanks

Ok, I have a 1Th/s S2 Antminer and while I am enjoying its returns currently, I want to enter the lottery and solo mine bitcoins and other coins from time to time. 

Q - Has anyone to date, been able to configure this mining machine to solo mine?  I have tried every combination I can think of but to no avail.  I can get it to go live on my local IP connecting to Bitcoin-Qt but it does not hash and the beepers sounds after about 1 minute.

I have even contacted Bitmain but they have not been helpful at all.

Any advice appreciated at this point (APART FROM POOL ADDICTS WHO WILL ADVISE NOT TO SOLO MINE)

I think that s2 support only stratum pools, standard client is getwork, maybe is for this reason that start to beep

Buy a few s-1's .  with your risking taking set of courage (ie balls) it is a good idea   you can get 2 for .92btc  if you have coupons 2 for .82btc


if you undervolt and under clock them to 150gh and 200 watts.   you solo mine with 300gh.

  this is the under volt under clock thread. 

if you do take this on  and get the s-1s working as solo miners please let us know.

I have 7 s-1's I do not know how to solo mine them.   I would not mind running 1 or 2 as solo miners.

You know what I might just point one of my S2 to BitSolo or Solopool - I might get lucky or not... probably not...

Yep... I have seen that still... I want to losing anything other than paying for the electricity considering S2 I will be using already paid for :-) Bought 4 x Batch 3 S2 and sold 3 of them on eBay to cover for the 4th miners :-)

Pool or solo mining still contributing towards network... If I get very lucky, my Las Vegas trip will be paid for

Thank you. I pointed 1 of 7  s-1's at it.


for those that want to get an idea. of what the chances are for 1 s-1  at todays diff.   here is what you do.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

go to the above link punch in 200gh or 180gh if you are not overclocking.



in 1 day  you should earn .01136 btc  you want a block or 25 coins  so divide  25 by .01136 you get 2200.7 to 1 chance of getting one today.

to those of you that understand investing vs gambling is solo mining today with an s-1 an investment or a gamble?

 to chuckbuck thank you.
