比特币、莱特币挖矿全攻略(上篇)

此文是我原創，如要引用請加出處，謝謝！
首刋：http://www.cybtc.com/thread-5866-1-1.html

我是去年十一月从杂志看到人们用显卡挖矿，十二月知道有USB ASIC矿机，ASIC是一种晶片，以运算BTC而言，比显卡更强，哪时差不多想入手了，再在网上找资料，原来已经有一体化的矿机，不用连电脑，如蚂蚁矿机，其实是集成了一片超微形的LINUX电脑，而且散热做得较好...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
什么是特殊应用IC (Application-specific Ic；ASIC)？ ASIC是指依特定用途而设计的特殊规格逻辑IC，它相当省电，且特别适用于具有特殊需求的专门应用中。然而，ASIC不能重新组态，其功能在产品开发过程中无法任意修正或改善；因此，任何线路改版都必须重新设计与制造，不仅使得开发成本增加，还可能影响产品上市时间。ASIC依其设计方式不同，又可分为PLD、闸排列与全客制设计等。ASIC一般多作为传输介面、附属逻辑，或是搭配于DSP核心系统中作为辅助加速器。

要拥有比特币、莱特币，方法有三：
1. 自己挖；
2. 直接用法定货币(如人民币...)买入；
3. 提供服务或售卖货品，收取；
http://www.cybtc.com/data/attachment/forum/201402/08/175628il3tkggls3hyn6kh.jpg

用方法2、3的可以跳过本帖...；
好了，决定了自己挖的，如何着手？

先要决定你要挖什么币！我是看好比特币的应用，但莱特币来势汹汹，会是一匹黑马，其他的山寨币暂时都是炒作，谁都可以造个新币...，炒山寨币没问题，我也会介绍一下，它们其本上是分为CPU币，以CPU运算产生，和GPU币，以GPU(即显卡的核心)运算产生...

决定挖比特币的：
早几个月显卡、USB手指矿机还可以，今天不用考虑了，基于大概11天挖矿难度提升百分之三十，用它们应该一世都回不了本...！
现在挖比特币是矿机的世界，哪选哪一部矿机呢？
http://www.cybtc.com/data/attachment/forum/201402/08/180055h6mqr4jj68o3h4z3.jpg

较主流的有以下三种：

参数取自http://www.cybtc.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5737，这个帖很值得看，但我会写点这个帖没有的...

大家留意打星的参数，就是我们选择的要点，贝壳列出半台的参数以方便比较；
然后用这个计算器作比较：
http://mining.btcfans.com/

得出：
1. 阿瓦隆二代
算力成本：￥34.30 /G
电力成本：￥2.82 /G
一日收益：0.035 BTC

2. 贝壳
算力成本：￥41.6 /G
电力成本：￥2.53 /G
一日收益：0.034 BTC

3. 蚂蚁
算力成本：￥40.3 /G
电力成本：￥1.2 /G
一日收益：0.033 BTC

首先...，我认为是网上资料是否充足！因为矿机是个新东西，会有各种的问题...；
然后看成本，如果你是看比特币会大涨，哪么尽快挖到多一点的币是首要，因为钱从币升值可以赚回来；
如果比特币会走平或大泻...，你要打长久战，电力成本会是重要的因数，就选电力成本低的...；
还有，要考虑家中电力供应，特别是打算买两三个的，如果加起来是3千多W，会不会断电！
更重要的其实是稳定性，如果不稳定上面的算力都是白标
最后一点是温度...，看功耗，你认为哪些功耗(电力)除了运算去了哪里？就是热力了！如果你的家小，位置不多，除非你想矿机兼作暖炉，否则选一个相对较少功耗的！
另外，温度太高是会影响稳定性的...；

我个人选了蚂蚁，因为看了参数最适合，在网上找资料稳定性不错，如你选择了其他的，请自行上网找找它们用家的意见...！

选好矿机，去哪里买？
淘宝现在禁止卖矿机了，彩云比特商城是个好选择(广告时间、请付我广告费！不过我发帖时，蚂蚁已经一天内卖光了)；

如果你在网上下单了，等着到货的时候，有什么要准备呢(自提不要跳过去，等一下你也要准备的)？
1. 上网了解一下设置过程...，
蚂蚁的请参考：http://www.cybtc.com/thread-4002-1-1.html
贝壳的请参考：http://www.cybtc.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4699
阿瓦隆二代的...：自己百度一下...

2. 看了设置过程，你会知可能有些配件要买的，例如电源供应器，接线...等，去买(如果要买电源供应器，请先看下一点再去买)；

3. 如果要买电源供应器，首先要知道你的矿机用多少电，例如蚂蚁的可参考这个帖：
http://www.cybtc.com/thread-4034-1-1.html
蚂蚁总输入要360W，如果钱不是问题，买个白金级的，转换率有94，买个750W的，因为转换率最高是在电力输出只有一半的时候，哪时转换率是超过94的，这个帮你节省一点电费；
钱是问题的，我建议还是买个750W，但买个铜级的，你的矿机24小时长开，矿机和电源供应器的损耗是很高的，W数要预留多一点，否则电源供应器坏时，有机会把矿机一起弄坏；

来重点了，蚂蚁的总输入要360W，但是分开两边PCIE插头输入的，即是每边输入分别要180W！

而市面上的电源供应器是有分一路或多路的！例如两个450W的电源供应器，一个是一路的，一个是三路的，通常一路的会在参数标示为12V=450W，哪就没问题，12V的"总"输出是够的，三路的标示为12V1=150W、12V2=150W、12V3=150W，12V1、12V2、12V3可以是分别代表主板加CPU、硬碟、PCIE(显咭)的插头，就算有两个PCIE插头，它们的电力都是来自12V3，只有150W，是推不动360W的矿机的！有些三路可以是12V1、12V2、12V3分别代表主板加CPU、PCIE、PCIE的插头，两个PCIE分别有150W，插进矿机插头，可能勉强能开机，但勉强开机，其实是会有问题的，例如不断重启...；
http://www.cybtc.com/data/attachment/forum/201402/08/181103jj31hqkhh31zpuhh.jpg

我买的是750W两路，一路是PCIE，有四个插，一路是CPU+主板+硬碟，收到矿机才发现忘记买转插，PCIE有375W，暂时先挖矿，第二天立即跑去买个硬碟电源转PCIE电源的转换线，否则电源一路负荷重，一路空闲着，还是会易坏的；

4. 安装一个比特币银包，去官网下载：
https://bitcoin.org/zh_CN/choose-your-wallet
安装方法详见：
http://www.cybtc.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=249
安装完，于"设定"→"选项"→"显示"→"显示界面语言"转为中文，
然后回到主介面，按"收受"，看见右边有一串码就是收取比特币的地址，例如我的是"1JoTozPTePwEfoyMwqjGitP8ZfMkX5ZrFJ"。

5. 找个矿池，例如F2POOL：http://www.f2pool.com/
点"立即注册"，填上所有资料，点"注册"，再登录，右上角按"帐户设置"→页面里按"付款设置"，在"BTC"一栏填上你刚才的收取比特币的地址。
http://www.cybtc.com/data/attachment/forum/201402/08/181450rgl5go0jo1o1gn0o.jpg

6. 收到矿机，硬件部分请参考：
http://www.cybtc.com/thread-4002-1-1.html
http://www.cybtc.com/thread-4366-1-4.html
http://www.cybtc.com/thread-4059-1-4.html
软件部分请参考：
http://www.cybtc.com/thread-3182-1-1.html

7. 回到F2POOL，登录后按"我的首页"，三十分钟内，曲线应该会动了，在挖矿了，也可按"矿工管理"看详细资料。

F2POOL的付款说明：
北京时间每日08:00自动结算。结算完成四小时内付款至指定地址。每日付款一次。比特币 0.0005 BTC 起付，莱特币 0.01 LTC 起付。BTC 付款通常很快会得到确认，LTC 依据付款金额，确认可能需要数个小时，金额越大确认越快。请注意：矿池不是银行，不能长期为您保留付款，请尽快设置付款地址以接收每日付款，超过90日的过期收益将可视作对矿池的赞助。

北京时间12:00后，打开你的比特币银包，等同步，同步完成时，应该看到收入了。

打文打死我了，莱特币和山寨币留待下篇(希望不用搞个上、中、下篇吧)！

Quote from: Svenge on February 15, 2014, 04:44:36 AM

I bought 2 antminers from Bitmain during Chinese New Year, and they arrived a few days ago. One of them's a little sketchy though...
It has thermal paste on almost every screw and around the edges of the board. A little different from the others I have received. I could post pictures if you want to see what I'm talking about.

The main problem with this board is that I cannot get it mining; whether that is a network problem or a blade problem I do not know.

I've set up several ants before and I am an advid linuxr, so I assume it's the board's problem and not me.

I scanned for a network in the wifi tab, and it found mine with about a 40% connection, which, I assume, is decent. It's adjacent to my other ants and they work, so I assume it's not a distance issue. It creates the new network successfully; however, it says it has a 0% connection with no data up or down. My other miners connect and start running as soon as I complete this step.

My mining pool is configured, my LAN is DHCP, my WAN is static with 8.8.8.8 for DNS, I can log in to the WebUI with no issues. It's configuration is essentially the same as my other miners; however, this one is not working.

Any suggestions on how I can start her up?

I've already contacted Bitmain, and I am waiting their response on exchanging this one for a new one. In the meanwhile, I would like it to mine somehow through my computer's connection through Ethernet. I don't want it sitting here like a paperweight until I get a replacement.

I'll tip anyone $20 or more who gives me some working advice.

Kind regards,

EDIT: Some additional info:
Every time I turn it off, it forgets my network and my time synchronization, even if I hit save and apply; however, it remembers my mining configuration.
Also, the C31 light emitting diode blinks consistently with a frequency of a little under 1 Hz.
No LEDs are lit on the blades.

Every time I turn it off, it forgets my network and my time synchronization

←For me, i hv tried to change "time location" and click on "save and apply", but cannot change the seting...

Ok, so I was able to factory restore by following directions on here, but now I am back to my original problem.

I am following the directions in the op, but when I manually input the ip address into IPv4, my computer cannot connect to the internet. I can interface with the antimner without changing my ip settings by navigating to 192.168.1.99, but it is not mining after I input and ave my pool settings.

What's your modems IP address?

Go to the ant miners network config page, make sure the gateway (your modems ip) is correct the primary DNS should also be your modems ip, go to the ant miners network diagnostics page and run both ping and DNS tests, if they work you're antminer is connected to the internet and good to go.

I've been seeing similar issues.

Got the Antminer S1 yesterday - ran it thru setup - thought I had all the config correct - and it just would not connect and start mining. So I started screwing around with the network settings and at one point I setup the LAN interface and I think I clicked on the bridge option - and lost all connection to the S1. At that point I figured I had botched it up pretty good - so I tried to reset the machine. That was another exercise in hair loss and copious swearing as I just couldn't get the thing to reset. Finally I got that to work - and started over.

Finally - after going thru some router settings, opening up some ports - etc - I got the S1 to connect and start mining.

Question though: The S1 Miner Configuration page has places to enter info for three different pools. Currently I'm only working thru one pool (Slush) - should I fill in all three places with the info for Slush - or just use the first one?

its normal, the antminer config pool management as failover, that means if the first pool cannot connect, the miner will connect to the second pool...

Does anyone mine with their Antminer in their bedrooms/room they spend most of their time in? Does it get too hot? Will you be able to have multiple Antminer's in your room in the summer?

I think if u has installed the second fan, the temp should be OK, u can try...

If u want to put it in yr bed room, i suggest u replace a fan with lower Db, i will do that later..., after doing, i will report...

What kind of improvements do you see from adding a 2nd fan?

I'll go out on a limb here and say: It runs cooler.

How cool? I have also install 2nd fan. I have found one same as orginial...

After installing, hot air is pulled by 2nd fan, but from management page, show same temperature >:(and the rpm of the 1st fan become higher..., form 1900 to 2200?

Adding fans won't do too much unless you're maxing out the stock fan... all it will do is make the stock fan slow down due to pwm. If you add fans, it cools the boards and the temps drop and the stock fan will slow down until the temps rise to 40^o again.

If your fan speed has increased since adding the second fan then it sounds like it's causing more blockage than increased air flow.

If the chips reach 50^o and the stock fan is running at over 3000rpm then it would be time to add fans to keep it down to 40⁰ again.

I've added fans to my overclocked unit, but that's only to keep it quiet and I've added them on the outside blowing straight on the last 3/4 of the chips, it seems to produce better results

EDIT: P.S. if you want to drop the temps, then just remove the blue wire from the fan connection as mentioned further above and watch the temps drop to 30^o as the fans spins up to crazy speeds Grin

Thanks for reply, i was install this:

SCYTHE glide stream 120
36.3dBA
108.83CFM

As i think more cfm is better, then change to this:

NMB 12038 12V 1.3A Y4574 4715KL-04W-B56
50dBA
130CFM

The first one reduce the rpm, but the second increase the rpm..., i don't know why...?

Anyway, i have buy some heat sink online, and when the heat sink arrive and i install the heat sink to antminer, i will change back the fan to the first one or this:

14cm Viper R Fan
Max airflow 109.55 CFM
Sound level 7-21.7 dB(A)

http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Fans&type_sub=PWM%20Control&model=AK-FN073

as i found this post:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANTMINER-S1-180-GH-s-RUNNING-AT-205-GH-s-ASIC-BITCOIN-MINER-750W-PSU-/301075381974?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item46197dbed6&nma=true&si=4pcHMIE07kFbzmVdurd%252BIQgXZtU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

p.s. I put a switch for connect/disconnect the blue wire of orginial fan for sometimes may extra cooling or testing overclock...

Usually choose the second in 2 ways:

blow out CFM 〉blow in CFM

OR

blow out cfm = blow in cfm

if the given power of 2 fans is same..., only the second option can be chosen, may be i need to buy the second fan as same as the first one...

the orginial one is around 130cfm, 1.3A, buy a 120*120*""38mm"" one can hv lower rpm, lower noise...

I have added a second fan for pull the hot air from the machine. I use a fan with PWM, the speed is slow and cannot show the RPM in the web management page. Then I use a connector directly connect the fan to molex, the fan comes faster...

2 question:

even use a PWM fan, still cannot show the RPM?

the PWM function cannot work for second fan??

the second fan appears to be controlled by PWM in mirror to the primary fan (w/ regards to voltage, not RPM) and you wont see its speed in the stats.

thanks reply. So, the PWM is still in function???
