I have seen that but as best I could tell it was not performing any better than CPU mining if you could even get it to run?

I know everyone saw the coindesk article about avalonic and their web app wallet for iOS.

http://www.coindesk.com/unofficial-apple-ios-store-to-allow-bitcoin-wallet-apps/

I signed up for the mailing list the day I saw the article but have got no updates and I still can;t see a way to get a login to try it out.

Anyone have any experience with using it?

Dude... this (the openness and free software aspect) is precisely what has made this the community success story that it has become.

The challenge for the creative individual is to give away their most prized intellectual possessions. Funny thing is you get it back 10-fold.
I also hope they are not using any gpl code and not releasing it back. That is a HUGE no no.

I may be relatively new to crypto but I am an old school unix geek and agreed I wont use it and I would bet that it hinders the growth of the coins in question.

Charges for early scrypt miners?

Hi,

I was just curious. I have only been around for a little more than a year.

Did early scypt or sha GPU mining software have a fee or charge associated?

It just seems to rub against the open source, free as in beer, grain.

Especially surprising with XPM as you would think with the "value" they are providing the scientific community that perpetuating that brand would necessitate the mining software / pools being free and open.

Does not seem to be the case, its disappointing Sad

Tip them over, stack them from front to back in the case.

Have a couple fans in the front pushing air through the case - will be plenty fine cooling.

We have experimented with that setup but the 2U is not tall enough for this. So yes density is the name of the game but if you are using a 4U you really have not gained any density per rackspace over the 2U. Which we can get 10 units as shown with right angle  power and usb cables.

It depends on your xtra rack spaces and preference. We can certainly do the "sideways double stack method, jut not in 2U.

I'm looking to use a non-PC power supply, with regulated high current 12v DC.
Does anyone know (from measurements, specs) what the DC Current draw of the Antminer S1 is?  (Standard or overclocked?)

Is 12.0v the ideal input voltage, or would it prefer 13.5v DC?
(Is there a DC-to-DC converter in the unit, or does it need 12.0v?)

Well P = V * I

So (roughly)

(stock)
360 = 12 * I
I=360/12
I = 30 amps

(overclocked)
430 = 12 * I
I=430/12
I=35.8 amps

Do all S1 units need a total of six positive leads and six ground leads (for screw terminals)?  I want to have the wiring ready for arrival.


The terminal blocks have three leads per polarity on each blade. So you will need a total of 3 for positive and 3 for negative for each blade.

They now have the pci-e 6-pin plugs which if you have some spare extender cables to sacrifice is a much better way to fly. you need two per unit (one per blade).

Re: [Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner

You just need to setup internet sharing from your computer, since that looks like a usb 3G type internet device. Depending on your OS, many different ways to do it. windows would be the simplest. just follow the wizard.

Pretty sure if he is plugging modem into his machine directly he will need another radio (or use the ethernet and connect his ant wired).

Simplest thing would be to get something like this (http://www.amazon.com/EW-7811UN-IEEE-802-11n-draft-USB/dp/B005CLMJLU)

and then setup internet connection sharing in whatever OS you are using.
Last i checked you can't plug usb into an ant.  unless someone made an adapter for that control board? Easiest thing is to do ICS in windows.

Not suggesting you plug usb into ant. I am suggesting that the 3G radio is plugged into his desktop/laptop and you will need something with an 802.11 radio in that same machine to act as the access point piece. Or plug his ant into the ethernet port on that same machine and set the sharing up that way.

To have a gateway you will always need two interfaces (ethernet, wifi, wimax, 3g usb modem, etc)

Hit a roadblock, I am using Verizon FIOS internet, the router use a static IP 192.168.1.1 with subnet 255.255.255.0.
There's no way of changing router IP, nor can I change subnet to 255.255.254.0 to cover 192.168.2.xx.

Look like the new batch S1 of IP 192.168.2.99 caused Verizon FIOS customer a lots of troubles.
Router from my last Cable Company is easier to change. All with older batch S1 on 192.168.1.xx is luckier.

Direct cable connection can only works for 192.168.1.xx ONLY?

What's now, buy a new router to add 192.168.2.1 network?

I don't want to intrude in the middle, but if you want to try the steps below:

  • 1.  Connect the Antminer to your router/switch via cable
  • 2.  On a computer (laptop/PC) that is connected to the same router/switch (via cable or wifi), change the IP address of the computer to  192.168.2.55  subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway doesn't matter
  • 3.  Connect to the Antminer web url  192.168.2.99 and make changes
  • 4.  Change Antminer to  192.168.1.188  mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1, custom dns 8.8.8.8
  • 5.  Make sure you save and apply above and wait for it to finish, sometimes needs reboot after
  • 6.  Put the computer on step 2 to normal settings (probably automatic DHCP)
  • 7.  Access Antminer web url  192.168.1.188 and set pool info

I configured both of my Antminer S1's from factory via wifi on my laptop (dell mini 9 netbook).  I've never directly connected to either of my Antminer to a laptop/computer.

Good luck.

Could anyone/two of you do me a favor? Take screen shot of your ipconfig output.
mine have both 192.168.2.xx by cable and 192.168.1.xx by wireless, but still can't access Miner.
The network cable head green light is not even on for Miner, the rest of PC/Laptop are all on.

I probably need to ask seller for a replacement network/control card.

I'm not running Windows.  I run Arch Linux and Linux Mint on my laptops.  And all devices on my network are  192.168.55.x  subnet now.  That includes the miners, 3 laptops, cell phones, tablets, chromecast.

At any rate, that's a problem if there's no link light on the Antminer S1.  First thing's first, you need physical connectivity before you can access the miner.

Did you connect the Antminer to your router and you're not getting a link light on the Antminer? and you're sure the cable is good?




I had a similar experience and had a moment of WTF. I just kept trying different cables until I found one that worked. It seems the female ethernet connector on the ant's do not mate up well with some connector/shield combinations on some cables.
