Grin Home Miner Group Buy / [G1-mini] / group-buy1 completed; group-buy2 TBA

[philipma1957]

Hi Everyone,

My 3 units arrived yesterday (self hosted in my garage!) and have been up and running for about 24 hours. Initial impressions...

Each unit uses about 100W measured from the wall, this is better than the 120W I was expecting.

Each is hashing at 1.3gps maybe a little more. Pool side it's at least 1.3 gps average I think maybe closer to 1.35-1.4 gps again only 24hours.

They are a little louder than I was expecting. The fan is running at around 5000rpm. There are some fan settings that I can play with, I just haven't' had time to look into it.
In contrast the goldshell box unit I have is pretty quiet with the fan running at 2000ish Rpm (consumes 200 watts).

One of the 3 units runs about 5-7C hotter than the others with a few more reject shares, but nothing more than 0.5% after a full day.

Interestingly ipollo built the software on top of OpenWrt, there are many options from this firmware that are exposed and it looks like they can be modified if you are brave.

I'm generally happy with these units. Many thanks to @marcotheminer! Very smooth transaction and very well handled group buy. I may be back for more if a second buy planned.


Cheers,

momanz

I have a pool communication issue with the two I am running.


I sent you a screen shot via pm maybe I can fix the issue by looking at your setup.

yours are reporting correctly at the pool.

I get way two many stales and far too little hash

my 2miner.com settings




my stales are huge  see below

changed a router setting and it seems improved

Just saw your PM. My settings are below.

Only difference I see is in the NTP server, but looks like you've solved it :-).

my router had three separate security settings changed them all and I am good to go.

All shipments have been well received; group-buy1 complete. Thank you to those who participated, and to iPollo for the fulfillment.

Bump

[philipma1957]

Will you have a g-buy 2 thread?

[OgNasty]

I might be in for one on the 2nd group buy.  Hopefully the price can come down a bit?   

I probably still have my Grin wallet around somewhere.  Not sure if I would hold or not.  Probably not.  I don't have any hardware running at the moment though and I'm starting to get the shakes.  Seems like this might be a decent short term solution. 

[garetjax]

I would be interested in a 2nd g-buy.

[marcotheminer]

Will you have a g-buy 2 thread?

Keeping it to one thread for now, and will update the original post (or make a new thread if necessary) as things progress.

I might be in for one on the 2nd group buy.  Hopefully the price can come down a bit?   

The latest offer from iPollo is still at $269/unit as of this moment.

I will be getting 3 more. on the second buy.

[marcotheminer]

To update ... the buy is paused (until either a solution or it will be cancelled). iPollo is asking $269/unit 30 moq and maximum of 3 shipments (which complicates things, as it stands we need 5+).
