I have a Octominer B8Plus motherboard and it works fine with the mSATA SSD, but I really need to boot off a USB thumb drive with Ubuntu on it.  I can't get this to work.
 It just says "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key".

Update 6/1 10:29 AM Central Time:

Price drop to $45 each.

Also I got a PM asking how to cool this, I attach a few pictures below.  Cost less than $10 for wood at Home Depot, I reused the fans from my Panda Miner B3.

REDUCED! [WTS] Pandaminer B3 RX 470 4GB cards $45 shipped USA
by

on 23/05/2019, 16:57:39 UTC
These came out of my Panda Miner B3.  They are AMD RX 470 4GB cards and hash ETH at 27.45-28.51 MH/s.  They can also mine ZEC like any other AMD RX GPU, but I only mined ETH with these.

Original BIOS.  Never modded.  They are tested to be 100% functional and stable.  They include the Panda bracket (as seen in the photo).  I saw someone else successfully selling theirs so I thought I would try too.


Price $49 EACH (for quantity 1) includes shipping to continental USA.  I have 8 of these for sale.

=== I copied the following description from another for sale post as it is relevant ===
Title says it all.
These are 4GB RX 470 cards out of Pandaminers.
You will need to install a fan on the heatsink. Or get a lot of air moving over them.

The 1 HDMI port they have does work so you can use it as a basic RX 470 cards in a PC.

They do not have the PC mounting brackets.

I will test the card(s) again before shipping them out.
=== end ===

Quantity available: 8

Taking PayPal or crypto

Can someone explain the purpose of these versus just placing the motherboard on top of the anti-static bag that the motherboard comes in?

[WTS] 4x PandaMiner B3 Plus with 8x RX470 (4GB). Hash rate on ETH ~230 MH/s ea.
by

I have four PandaMiner B3 Plus's that I would like to sell.  They mine ETH perfectly at 225-228 MH/sec.  Each of them come with eight RX470 GPU's with 4GB of vRAM each.  They come with a Intel 3855U @ 1.60GHz and 4GB of DRAM.

They work fine but profitability isn't great so I would like to cash out.  Will accept any cryptocurrency listed at Kraken so I can sell for fiat.  Escrow accepted.  Local Pickup possible in Houston, TX.

There are almost no moving parts because the GPU's have large heatsinks without individual fans.  The miner case comes with six server-type (very loud and powerful) fans, three intake, and three exhaust. which are the only moving parts in the entire miner.

4x miners = 32x GPU's.  907.63 MH/sec TOTAL (actual number taken from Claymore logs).

Two of them use DDR3 memory and the other two have a newer-revision motherboard that uses DDR4 memory.

Unit #1 with MAC address 7c:2b:e1:0f:c2:d3 = 227.96 MH/sec (DDR4 model)
Unit #2 with MAC address 00:30:18:00:03:2f = 227.40 MH/sec (DDR3 model)
Unit #3 with MAC address 00:30:18:00:03:3c = 227.75 MH/sec (DDR3 model)
Unit #4 with MAC address 22:30:18:00:02:e5 = 224.52 MH/sec (DDR4 model)

Above numbers are actual performance figures with Claymore version 11.6.

These can also mine Zcash and Monero, but I do not have any experience with that.  They are AMD RX470 GPU's so you can mine pretty much anything a GPU can mine.

Selling without power supply.  They pull about 1,370 watts.  You will need a power supply with seven PCIE connectors for each miner.

I saved all the packaging from when I bought these brand new, so the buyer will receive it in the original shipping box with the foam inserts that protects the miner during shipping.

Please make me an offer.

NOTE: I will upload video proof tomorrow.

Setup is simple, it is pretty much plug and play.  Plug in network cable, power, and boot with the USB stick I will include.  Then SSH into it using the username and password I will provide.  Change the password if you want.  Then edit the Claymore shell script to put in your own wallet address and then run Claymore.  If you are handy with Linux (the stick runs Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS), you can even set it up to start mining automatically by creating a crontab entry.

Anyone encounter a problem with the mixer today for ETH?  After waiting a very long time, the web page eventually says "API Error".  The address provided has received my ethers but sent nothing back.

You can remove me from the list.  My deposit showed up a couple of hours after trading resumed.  I'm assumed it was still catching up.  I have since made another deposit, which took about an hour to show up.  I closed my ticket since the issue self resolved.

Updates as of today:  Note this post is specific to Cryptopia.  It does not address problems with Heat Exchange or Web Wallet.

==> NO ONE MISSING DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS JAN 1 TO 22 HAVE RESOLVED THEIR SITUATION WITH MISSING COINS. <===

I have ticket open Jan 9, and another opened Jan 18 for a separate withdrawal.  Not a single reply.  The first ticket is 2 weeks ago.

Since last update, 4 more cases have been added.

Here are the people in this thread reporting deposit or withdrawal issues since Jan 1:

I don't think you were part of the original group with the problems because your deposit happened AFTER their trading was halted on Jan 21.  All of our problems are before they halted trading, from Jan 1 to 20.  Thanks for the update!  I will remove you from the list.

Sorry for the inconvenience!


I supposed that is good, but we still haven't received our withdrawals from Jan 1 to Jan 20.  Are our coins lost?

Re: Bitmain just announced the AntMiner A3 - 815GH/s Siacoin miner - Blake(2b)

on 23/01/2018, 05:37:43 UTC
I got 2 but planning to run only 1 in my apartment.

Well, I am planning to use the APW3++. It says that it wont provide more than 1200 W if ran from 110 V. My initial plan was to use one of the GFCI (https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFCI) from the bathroom or kitchen since they have desicated 15 A breakers. But of APW3++ cant give the A3 more than 1200 W, theb I am SOL, right? That is when I started researching about using dryer plug.

Why do you think a sungle A3 should be fine to run from a 15A 120 V if the AWP3++ cant do well on 120 V? Sad

If it will work, i will just use the GFCI

Keep in mind, electric in the USA is 120v, not 110v (1440W usable continuous on 15A).

I was running 2x vega 56s, 1x vega 64, and a L3+ overclocked (920W at the kill-a-watt using APW3++) on the same 15A 120v circuit. The breaker only tripped when my wife turned on the hair dryer.

Oh ya, My TV, laptop, and stereo amplifier are also on that circuit... So was the christmas tree over the holidays..  


I see what you're saying, at 120V the APW3++ would only put out 103A DC (1236W).

If you just need to host the one, just get the adapter.




Huh
I'm using the APW3++ with a S9  and it's running fine on 110v

The S9 is ~1323W and the A3 ~1200W why you say that the APW3++ can't be used with the A3?

The S9 draws 6.5 amps at 240v.  That's 1560 watts.  I have a metered PDU so I know what I am talking about.  Bitmain even says the APW3++ will not output 1600watts without 240v voltage.


Please read again what I wrote: If that's the case, why am I using the APW3++ with a S9 and it's running fine on 120v? Maybe the S9 you have is a 14 TH unit. Those are more power hungry and consume over 1600 watts: https://youtu.be/sz-XZL77qqs?t=330

It is running fine now on 120v but I believe you are stressing the unit at the extreme of its performance envelope and will eventually lead to premature failure.  I have 13.5 TH unit.

I'm not seeing anything about delisting.  Just says this for me;

Market Paused

Withdrawals do not broadcast to the network, trading suspended until problem is resolved


Looks like they are addressing the problem, hope nobody looses any good coinage.  These suckers are going to be worth a fortune someday.

It is marked 'in process of being delisted' in the coininfo page.
