AUCTION: Antminer S1 Bitcoin Miner + Corsair TX750 PSU (x2)
These units are used to mine the Bitcoin (BTC) cryptocurrency.
They are also compatible with any other SHA256 altcoins such as Zetacoin or MMXIV.
Great for a hobby miner or someone looking to get into mining at low entry cost.
Each S1 Antminers runs stock around 180 GH/s, Overclocked runs ~200 GH/s.
No computer is needed as each unit is standalone and can be easily deployed anywhere.
Each unit has a built in WiFi card which allows it to easily connect to your wireless network.
Setup is quite simple for anyone with a decent amount of computer knowledge and once configured the miners require minimal upkeep or monitoring to produce BTC.
Specs:Hash rate: 180 GH/s (~200 GH/s Overclocked)
Power Consumption: 360 watts (~450 if overclocked)
Efficiency: 2 watts per GH/s
Power Input: +12 Volt DC
Dimensions: 13.5cm x 15.5cm x 30cm
Network: Ethernet and WiFi
Cooling: 120mm fan w/ twin heat sink
Both units are about a month old and have had been running great in this time period.
They have been overclocked to maximize profitability and run ~200GH/s with 5% variance.
The miners have a 3 month warranty but need to be reset to stock factory settings before sent in as Bitmain will not service units that come in overclocked.
Slightly more power is used when the units are overclocked (~450 watts).
A factory reset could be performed on both if you wish to return them to stock.
These miners are still quite profitable at the moment (depending on electricity costs) and likely will be for a decent time frame.
They also support undervolting via an easily do-able mod, which will extend the usable lifetime of the hardware, allowing them to be run at a profit for the next 8 months or more. (Even longer if BTC prices raise as they have recently or if you have low/free cost of electricity)
Powering these units are 2 Corsair TX750 power supplies which were also bought new at the same time as the S1 Antminers. These are high end 80-plus bronze rated power supplies and come with a 5 year warranty. They run quietly under load and provide adequate voltage as well as amperage for the miners. In theory you *could* reset the miners back to 180 GH/s and run them off of 1 PSU but it would be operating past its limit and likely burn out given the high constant load. Another S1 Antminer could be powered by the current pair of TX750's if you wish to expand your mining operation.
A climate controlled space is preferred for the hosting and running of these miners as they do produce a fair amount of heat while running. They run at a decent quiet volume when ambient temperature is <23 Celsius. Automated fan controls within the S1 Antminer sense temperature and will speed up or slow down the fan as needed to keep the device from over heating. Personally I run the air conditioner during the day and open a window at night and they seem to have no problem temperature wise.
included:2x S1 Antminer (overclocked ~200GH/s)
2x Corsair TX750 Power Supply
2x Detachable Wifi Antenna
1x 1' RJ45 ethernet cable (for configuring miners)
All necessary cords are included as well as the original boxes.The reason I am auctioning these units is because I have massive debt after the whole IPO fiasco and need to pay back investors.
Wish I could hold onto these units, as they will produce far more Bitcoin in their lifetime then what I will get for them here.
Buying the S1 Antminers + PSU's is preferred!
