Re: Scaling Up From Nothing

i have slowly scaled up as a hobby.. I cant say I ever broke even but I feel im around even.. I started with gpu mining, I was a gamer and had a few lying around, mined with those until asicminer usbs came out.  I spent my BTC on those, sold my extra video cards on ebay and bought more with that money.  mined more, and saved btc, when btc hit $1000 in dec I sold my btcs and my usbs.  I then used that money o start buying  ant miner usbs, since I had the hub infra ready to go!  im probly sitting on $800 of miners if resold on ebay and maybe $800in btc give or take market.  that was starting with around $1000 in video cards, so im maybe up a tiny bit not counting elec or time.....   but it is enjoyable!!!!

Re: AntMiner U2 Investment Questions

if i were you,( and i am in most ways as a small miner) i would look at my BTC stach, purchase some U2s from a group buy and double or trible my hashrate, and put my BE on ebay for $15 bucks, then use that mney to buy a few more U2s off ebay, wind up with several times more hash with no more fiat expenature and no more mining infrastrucure cost. and with the hash you add from the ebay purchase you should return your BTC invest, maybe not your ebay purchase also but at this point we are all throwing money down the drain hoping for BTC exchange spike!!

Re: [ ANTMINER U2 ] THE NEW ANTMINER USB MINER = 2.0GHs {USA - .0385 LOWEST PRICE}

FYI I just got one today, after 20 minutes it gets to 2.06 Gh/s with clock=x0981, and it runs great with zero errors and zero rejects.

When I overclock to 0A18, which on the U1 is 2.2 Gh/s, after running for 20 minutes it only gets up to 2.12 Gh/s with 0 rejects and 5.41% error rate.

So, it seems like 2.0 Gh/s is the max you can expect with low error rate.  

I haven't been able to find a user manual on the U2 yet however, and the clock parameters for overclocking may be totally different than what was used for the U1.

I have emailed Antmain about this but have not heard back yet.

Edited to add:

After 2 hours it's hashing at 2.063 Gh/s, with zero rejects and zero H/W errors.

Also, FYI my USB power is not an issue. I am getting my +5V from the molex connector of an ATX PSU at 32Amps.

could you try         262.50 MHz | 2100 MHs | 0A01 | 020 ms       for us on the U2s  its the clock for 2.1 gh/s  also there are know clock speeds for 2.05 and 2.15 if there is a finer limit to thier ablites

overclocked ants draw more power then a block erupter  the higher the over clock the more power is drawn

if I were selling you a video card and you took off the stock cooler, repasted it, put on aftermarket cooling , then over clocked it, and it failed I would tell you too damn bad..
if I sold you one and it did not work then we would both know that in 15 min tops!
that's akin to you buying a car that registers 150mph and you wreck it trying to get it to that speed then ask for a refund as if it were defective because you crashed it before it went tha fast... I mean  come on man... doing all that would void any manufacures warrenty  would would you espect a private party to cover that...

Re: Powering my 20 port hub---need advise knowlege

on 23/02/2014, 01:59:21 UTC
can you advise me on the potential pitfalls and hazards of say using 5v input  or 12v? the plug and case clearly say 20v but if im using less volts I can squeeze in more amps without going over the rated wattage? im either going to mie on all 20 ports or shoot the damn thing....



can I use 2 x 20v 4.5 amp inputs?  the hubs main board has a spot for a 2nd plug jack   wired up and everything   just dosnt have a 2nd plug there   I can get a plug and soder it on and use two 20v 4.5 amp plugs?

so then I would cut the plugs off of both cords and wire the old plug to the new cord?  but the hub takes 20v input  the psu it came with outputs 20v  can I really feed 5v into it and it will work correctly?

so my 90w psu is only giving me half that?  I have a new psu coming to try. I also have a spare atx psu around here is someone can walk me thru splicing it in..  can I assume that the volts are being decreases in the hub when the power is split so it inputs 12v and outputs 5v at the ports?  how can I get the amps I need to fully populate this!!! im getting desperate!!!

Hello Iluvpcs   I was wondering if I could go ahead and send payment for 2 now?  I fear that they will sell out to a few buyers in bulk and would like to reserve my measly 2 before the frenzy starts!!!

I took the hub apart  it has a spot for a 2nd 90w plug  wired and all jut need to soder in the female   I ordered two more psu s for it to test if they were bad and to use on 2nd jack when I put it on.  can I just add a second plug and psu?  I figured it was an amp issue.. the psu is rated 20v@4.5 amps so I feel that is whats choking me on ports. with anymore on the hub they under prefome/ give the power draw errors ect.. its a power issue..  its personal now between this port and I... its going to hash on 20 ports and like it regardless of what I spend to make that whore hash...

Powering my 20 port hub---need advise knowlege

Hi guys and thanks for reading and any potential help!

so I bought this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=261376179469&view=all&tid=1357393808016
20 port 90w
the psu outputs 20v @4.5 amp

It will only power like 8 usb miners ( ants/yellowjackets)
I would like to upgrade it so I can populate all ports but am very unsure of what I need (which psu) to do it safely
 I found this and think it may work, just wanted to get advise from someone who may actually know and can give me a few pointers
http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-250-24-Super-Stable-Power-supply-unit-240W-DC24V-10AMP-/221287095964

and here is a link to an album with my rig and pics of the current psu and hub
https://plus.google.com/110534873202442008219/posts/WSmL6bEFpwU
thanks for any and all help  as soon as I know if it can be done and which psu is correct I think ill be all set!!
