ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH

[pekatete]

Have a number of $45 BitMain S5 Coupons and (7) $30 S5 Coupons left.

PM me if interested!

Funny, I just emailed Yoshi as to why the variance in coupons.  Strange to me that those who took the chance on batch 1, are least rewarded.

I think the S5 coupons were issued, in the first instance, to the people who ordered from the batch just prior to the 15% reduction, which reduction was posted on the bitmain site before the shipping of that prior batch .... sounds convoluted but should make sense.

[MyRig]

Coupons are issued based on many factors under a set of internal rules.

factor may effect the coupon price:

Date of Payment
Payment Method
Bulk Purchase/Retail Purchase
Shipping Carriers/Method
Order Date
Actual Price Paid
previous purchase history
and many more

ALSO: BITMIAN HOLDS THE RIGHTS TO DECIDE WHAT THE COUPON VALUE IS.  BITMAIN's DECISION TO ISSUE COUPON IS FINAL.  COPONS HAVE NO MONETARY VALUE.

Is there a way to have the miner not hash during certain times of the day?
At the simplest idea of mine, was to hook up one of those AC timers that kills the power during certain times and then restores it at others.

thats very barbaric method.
you can control cgminer remotely making it to stop/start by script via network.

Thats a very noble way and most effective.
You could also write a script that kills cgminer (and cgminer monitor) during your chosen downtime but ensure it is started during your chosen uptime. (don't ask me how to do it 'cause I do not know AND you've already got a good solution!)

Great idea!  Could go even farther and use different frequencies at different times.  It's colder at night would be nice to have night freq, and day freq.

Interested in 2-4 coupons if anyone is looking to unload some.  PM me with offers.

Can we used more that one coupons per order
Or must used one coupon per s5 order ?

[Xian01]

Can we used more that one coupons per order
Or must used one coupon per s5 order ?

Coupons are applied only once to each individual unit ordered.

[navigatrix]

Can we used more that one coupons per order
Or must used one coupon per s5 order ?

It's one coupon per machine.

So if you order 3 x S5's you can use 3 coupons.

Wondering why I have not received tracking on batch 4 yet?  Anybody get tracking yet, they were to ship out on the 12th.

You can go to UPS and track by reference using your order number. Mine is on the way, just no emails from Bitmain and no update of status on their website.

Mine was shipped as follows:


Scheduled Delivery:
    Wednesday, 01/14/2015, By End of Day

Last Location:
    Arrived - Shenzhen, China, Monday, 01/12/2015

Shenzhen, China    01/12/2015    23:20    Arrival Scan
   01/12/2015    23:15    Departure Scan
   01/12/2015    21:56    Origin Scan
   01/12/2015    19:33    Pickup Scan
China    01/12/2015    1:46    Order Processed: Ready for UPS

It will be in my possession in 2 days? LOL. I'm about 1 day of flying time away and then it has to clear customs and then make it to my town. Fat chance in 2 days. Believe it when I see it.

[Xian01]

For the S5 what is the recommended worker difficulty. I have been using 2048. Is that high enough?

1024 should be good enough. 2048 is probably too high.

OK. Hope you are right. Anytime I have ordered from China to Canada it always gets held up at Canadian Customs for a day or two.

Ok maybe it will be longer for you then. Mine goes to AK and clears customs there then to KY then Indy then to me in Northern Indiana. My S1's was the same way, fast delivery!

I will qualify it and say this is the first time I have ordered from Bitmain.

Is the order number the PO number? Mine is still not shown as shipped, confirmed payment on 1/9.

That was step two haha, once summer hits, to have variable frequencies.
So far I've only used the web interface, I assume I can SSH with the same root/root login on port 22 as well, then run various cgminer commands as needed?
Is there a software that could neatly schedule this and is scalable?  I was thinking for one or two I could just have them as local scripts on the machines, but would be more fun to have them all talk to a central computer or site that would report their temps, hash speed, frequency, on/off status etc, and allow global changes.

Also I haven't upgraded the firmware on both of my S5's and so far haven't had any issues with them not hashing properly.  Once I experience an issue, will probably try out updating the firmware

I just spent a few days setting up some pulling of stats from my Antminer S5 and S1. I am using Nagios via Open Monitoring Distro. And pnp4nagios which creates rrdtool based graphs.

To retrieve the stats I have a cronjob running on Nagios which is scheduled to ssh to antminer run cgminer stats & summary commands, Outputting to text file. Then the cronjob scp’s all the created outputs for Nagios to parse in a script I created.


When I run my check_antminer.sh Nagios script it generates this output;

./check_antminer-stats.sh

Code:

S5 OK  | S5_TEMP1=60;;;; S5_TEMP2=58;;;; btc_diff=43971662056.08957672;;;; S5_Blocktime=1421119169.052417;;;; S5_GHS=1067.02;;;; S5_Time_Elap=95407;;;; S5_Rejected=95;;;; S5_Accepted=25014;;;; S5_Discarded=73513;;;; S5_Diff_Accept=23485451.29781746;;;; S5_Reject_percent=0.3846;;;; BTCHash=101801000325.0000

I have included some graphs of the first few days of pulling stats.

Edit: My next step is to customize the graphs to include several stats on the same image and tweak the formatting.
