I'm thinking about getting a unit, but I'm not completely sure I know how to set it up.
I've got some Antminer S3's and an S4 on the way, so I'm used to the simplicity of those machines.
Aside from a PSU with 4 connectors (what are people around here using for these?), I see that some kind of controller is needed, but there are options. What's the way to go and how easy is it for someone with little experience?
Thanks.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

I am also interested in knowing this, is there a step-by-step user manual to use and set up the Ethernet controller? Being that the site is in Chinese, it might be hard to find support/setup information. It's why I ordered only one to test it out first. Crazyguy, will you be giving support if we need help?

Basic networking skills are required. You should have a good idea of what pools you want to use before receiving your unit. If using ASICMiner's Block erupter controller, I recommend looking through dogie's tube guide, skipping to the configuration section. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769570If using a raspberry pi, I will be providing a custom rpi image for all of my customers. DHCP will be enabled, so you will need to be familiar with finding new devices on your network. I suggest using "Angry IP". The user interface for the rpi image will be Minera. At minimum, I will be replacing the default cgminer build with AMs custom version. If I have time, I will instead modify the selection list and add AM's build as a separate release alongside the main build, including a method to update the AM build. For more information on "Minera" please visit their Github repository: https://github.com/michelem09/minera/ |

The guide shows how to use it with windows or the RPi, is there any instruction for using just the Ethernet controller alone without using windows? Basic networking skills are required.

By the way, I was contact by "CraizyGuy" with an "i" in the name to send him BTC quickly before price changes. Even though I saw your warning, I still almost fell for it. I didn't catch the name difference at first, and I was in a hurry and multitasking. I could have lost almost $500. Everyone out there be very careful!

Thanks for sharing the username. Please remember, I will not contact anyone soliciting payment to another address. The address in the original post is the only address I will be accepting payments with. That includes shipping and peripherals.
As far as batch 4 shipping goes, I don't have an exact time line, but it should still be in the range of oct 8th-27th.

Yes, you'll need to use AM's build of cgminer. |

I've received notice that batch 1 is shipping now. If all goes well, I should have some units in hand and ready to ship early next week. Batch 2 and 3 are estimated to ship October 16th.

Hello CrazyGuy I would like to get in on this group buy. This would be the very first group I ever participated in and I just want to make sure I do everything right. I see the deadline for payment for batch 3 is 10/12/2014 but I think its sold out. So I guess id get in on batch 4.
I also see batch 4 ships with the antminer jump switch witch is nice. I already have a couple RPi's sitting around with a bunch of SD cards sitting around so you providing the RPi image is a nice touch as well. What size card would I need? Sorry for all the questions I just really want to get in on this group buy and I just want to make sure I do whatever it is im supposed to do correctly. Like sending you the 1.47 BTC and what and how is needed in the process of sending it to you. Once again thank you so much CrazyGuy for helping me out on my first group buy.

You definitely don't want to post any personal details on the forum. Send the payment from an address you own to the address in the OP, don't forget the transaction fee, wait for CrazyGuy to receive the product and to announce the shipping weight and dimensions and then you can send him the shipping label. CAREFUL with any PMs - there are many imposters around here. Don't send payments to any addresses provided via PMs. Make sure you are communicating with CrazyGuy Legendary Activity: 1120 |
