Does Bitmain AntMiner S2 batch 4 interest you?
Shipping on May 8th is pretty close.
The S2 looks great, but I'm not sure how great of a deal it is at the current price. I may wind up going with them though, we will see.
okay what are your power supplies? how do you cool the gear off.
Right now I am using the Gold 850 power supplies. Cooling hasn't been much of a problem and I don't forsee it being one. We are in the process of setting up a temperature controlled room to run all of the units in. The ambient temperature should hold around 73 degrees. What I'm getting from you guys is that I can 1) throw some money at Ken and hope he doesn't eat it all.... 2) spend $7500+ on two of the Antminer S2, which is a possibility 3) work with 10 S1 units.
These all seem like pretty good options, but man you really can't beat those S1 units can you? Maybe I will just go with that. They are just so much cheaper. Even with the 28nm chip clocking where it is, the cost is just too high to justify. I'm pretty stoked to see what pepperminer does with the Habanero though.
Does anyone have an opinion on the difficulty of assembling your own ASIC blade using the Hash Fast chips? I'm pretty confident that my buddies and I can figure it out, but I am curious to know about any barriers to entry. I heard that HF is pretty lame on the customer service end too though.
Aren't you the dude (OP)with the Ants in the kitchen with the million cooling fans and cooling meters?
Hope you have cheap electricity where you live and a cool basement, garage, or storage shed that you put this 2 TH/s of space heaters.
That's me
. Our electricity is pretty great at $0.09 per kWh... at least I think that's great haha. It has made the profitability calculations work out quite nicely.
But yeah thanks for the ideas guys!
