Bitmaintech Antminer S1 Upgrade Kit
Will you buy an S1 upgrade kit if bitmaintech release it?
What kind of an upgrade you are looking for?
Notable Points:
01: The possibility of daisy chaining more blades would have been neat without needing another controller.

Is this substantiated or are you just thinking out loud? |

Most likely, power efficency. It would have to be from Bitmain though, I don't trust many people. |

Bitmain sells an upgrade kit, it's called the S2.

I would like to see more improvements done to the firmware. Options added to the miner page like the ability to; Specify if it's failover or round robin instead of needing to edit the config files manually for example. A graph of performance added to the monitoring would be neat too. Pay someone on the cgminer team to tweak better performance would be nice  Since the S1 is discontinued I can't see them doing any hardware upgrades really. The possibility of daisy chaining more blades would have been neat without needing another controller. |

The controller on the S1 can only handle 2 blades, and based on my conversations with them recently and in the past, they dont plan on changing that. |

So to even discuss whether it can or can't is just worthless. |

It would use less power and could be cheaper to manufacture using only a single production line to create mining boards. DoubleD |

It is a TP-Link TL-WR743N/ND v2 controller. It is running OpenWRT Barrier Breaker r38031. So, its a wireless router controller running cgminer. |

Being able to use it as a controller for U1/U2/U2+ Antminers would be awesome!
Would have to be able to add some sort of USB interface but it would be nice because I have 18 USB Antminers.

Windows Thinks U2 & U2+ Antminers are modem devices when used with SiliconLabs CP21xx drivers.

Windows Thinks U2 & U2+ Antminers are modem devices when used with SiliconLabs CP21xx drivers.
My U1/U2/U2+ devices are all plugged into my main computer, which is a Linux box, through Anker hubs. Dunno what it "sees" them as because I haven't checked but all I need to do is go into /dev, look for the ttyUSB devices, and make sure they get full R/W permissions. Then fire up BitMinter, let it find them all, ID them one by one, and tweak them for speed until each one does it's max hashing with no hardware errors. The only problem I have is that they are never identified in the same order, so if I reboot or remove devices and add them, they change port assignments and I have to go through the whole process. Would have been nice if the U1/U2/U2+ devices had unique serial numbers to ID them. I'm going to have to put labels on them and keep a chart of the hash rate hex assignments that they are each capable of. Good thing I rarely have to reboot. |

If you are still using the SiLabs Drivers, go to their website. They have the complete USB to UART Dev tool for free and I believe one of the options in it is the ability to assign unique serial numbers to each device, though you may need to remove them and add one, run the tool, add one, then run the tool. |
