Re: [Antminer S1 open for sale again] The last round before the Chinese New Year
by

on 27/01/2014, 16:56:16 UTC
I just tried to OC two of the ones that came this morning, and both died after the reboot.

Putty connected OK
Changed values in asic-freq as usual
reboot via web interface.
Units reboots and starts beeping.

Cannot connect via web or putty, had to hold reset button and restart unit to default ip.  Hope I can get it up and running Sad

I have many others that worked fine,  I think the Firmware may be different !!!!



Further testing seems to show that the ones that will run overclocked are cgminer v 3.4.3-1 and the ones that came today are 3.8.5-1

Anyone else got any experiences like this?

OK great, I'll look into that.

Anubis reports temp fan speed but some of the other data is wrong or missing.

I like the speedo guage, I'll look at that as well.

Also wondering if the most recent orders will be coming with pcie extenders?

They come with pci-e connectors on the board so no need for them.

wait what?  I thought these had screw terminals for power?  I recall someone posting pics.
Which one is true ?
I need to prepare power supply before miner arrive.
So it can mine immediatly when arrive.

The later units come with both screw terminals and pcie sockets.   I noted on one of mine the screw terminals were black for negative and yellow for +12v to match the pcie wiring convention.  Other units are black negative and red +12v

hi Batteryman,

Any tips regarding tax and import issues? I've just placed an order for 1 AntMiner S1

many thanks,
TWK

I didn't do anything special, it just arrived in the UPS van.  I am pretty sure there is no import duty for computer accessories.

There usually charge a "admin fee" and VAT, but you cannot escape that legally, and it isn't so much.

Does anyone think this is a bit odd,  I only ask because I was one of the recipients, and I was not expecting a payment.

Re: BITMAIN Antminer support and OverClocking thread

The "ASIC status" on some of my 400M overclocked Antminers show all x's (i.e., xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx) yet the temps are fine (~44-46) and the hashrate is still showing about 200 GH/s, as well as hashrate on my pool staying the same.  Is this a warning that I'm slowly burning out the unit?

I had this happen overnight as well on one of mine.  Temp on mine is 42 & 43 and it is sitting in an aircon server room.

Unit is definately hashing away on 400 setting (202Gh/s) and pool reporting continual hashing data, so xxxx must be bogus in some way, or at least does not prove unit has stopped.

1900 USD is about £1160 which at 20% vat is £233  + say 3% import tax,  add say £35 ish  = £267/unit




Import duty for computer accessories is zero rated, so there is only VAT to pay.

Thanks for that,  didn't know that.
