Ok, I have a 1Th/s S2 Antminer and while I am enjoying its returns currently, I want to enter the lottery and solo mine bitcoins and other coins from time to time.
Q - Has anyone to date, been able to configure this mining machine to solo mine? I have tried every combination I can think of but to no avail. I can get it to go live on my local IP connecting to Bitcoin-Qt but it does not hash and the beepers sounds after about 1 minute.
I have even contacted Bitmain but they have not been helpful at all.
Any advice appreciated at this point (APART FROM POOL ADDICTS WHO WILL ADVISE NOT TO SOLO MINE)
Buy a few s-1's . with your risking taking set of courage (ie balls) it is a good idea you can get 2 for .92btc if you have coupons 2 for .82btc
if you undervolt and under clock them to 150gh and 200 watts. you solo mine with 300gh.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=526060.0 this is the under volt under clock thread.
if you do take this on and get the s-1s working as solo miners please let us know.
I have 7 s-1's I do not know how to solo mine them. I would not mind running 1 or 2 as solo miners.
