Just finished the Antminer Hood H1.   Cheesy

Running a couple Habaneros at 1.4TH/s combined down below as well.

I love the setup.  Can you tell a little more about your cooling?  I'm interested in knowing what looks like a wooden exhaust at top?

It's mostly heat removal - I'm sucking in outside air to cool.  I'm mining in my garage, and pre-hood ambient temps ranged from +15-20 over outdoor temps.  

I threw the wooden hood together from scraps of OSB in the workshop, even the screws are reused.  It's got a 6"x12" furnace vent box on it that feeds into 6" ducting.  There's a 400cfm in-line blower sucking the hot air out.

It's changed the difference (so far) to about +10 over outdoor temps.  Yesterday it kept the garage cozy at 80*F, outdoor temps were 70*F.

Today we jumped up to 82*F outside and I rose up to 90*F ambient, I did forget to crank the blower up to 100% though, I'll try again tomorrow.

Without the hood I would have been above 100+F.  I'd need more CFM and possibly 8" duct to remove 3500watts (12000btu), that's if it was all in a sealed cabinet.

I'd call it functional, but a band-aid on what is ultimately my problem - heat leakage into the environment combined with not enough fresh air coming in to offset the inefficiencies.  

When my other ants come, I'll try to seal it up a little better, but the total cost was $12 for the vent box and about 30 mins of assembly - not a miracle, but a small win so I'll take it.

Are Antminer fans pulling air? If not where is all the hot air going?
Looks like there is an exhaust duct on top of the hood, probably with a high enough CFM fan to match the combined hot air output of the S3 fans.

Oh I missed that. But still it looks like the exhaust duct is a bit too small. I see that it's pulling air from both left and right, but it's size is only a half of antminer for each side.

Ants are pulling air from front towards back.  The bottom of the hood is open as well.  Top is 6" duct with a 400cfm turbine exhausting the air.

Ants actually went up 1 degree in temp, but ambient came down 10 degrees, so my wife and my habaneros are running much happier.

The thing is, each time I have enough Bitcoin, I turn around and convert it to dollars to pay some of my credit card bill (not because of the miners, just need the cash to pay it) so I'm not hanging on to BTC long enough but at the price I'm getting, with BTC ~ $450-$470 USD, the extra couple of hundred that has gone to the credit card makes a big difference.

Nothing wrong with this strategy, as long as you're aware the income stream is steadily declining.

Some miners mine and hold BTC, some miners mine and sell BTC, some miners mine and reinvest BTC into more gear.

Smart miners do a little of all of the above.   Cheesy

I have seen this rigs before somewhere,...who made this cool video?
 Grin Grin


i'm actually wondering why this guy is using pictures of other peoples rigs (e.g. mine), without asking

So he can hawk his mining contract on eBay.  Ya know, a real stand-up individual with principles and morals and stuff.

$1100 is pretty pricey for 49 ports.  I spent $360 getting enough ports for 61 miners and I've got plenty of ports to spare.  But I guess your setup is a bit cleaner.

Bought it secondhand.  One socket needs replaced, but I'm not complaining at $4.50 per port.   Cool

With regard to blockchain.info keys...  You can see/print all of your private keys (imported and those created with blockchain.info) by selecting a paper wallet in Advanced Settings.

I'm in Pennsylvania USA and would consider shipping to Canada.  Let me see what kind of box I can fit this in and will get back with an approximate cost.

[SOLD] Qty 8 - Bitmain Batch 5 AntMiner S-3

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Offering up to Eight Batch 5 S-3's.  I'm the original purchase from BitMain.  All have been hashing reliably since purchase.

Three or four of them overclock to 450-500 GH/s.  This rig used to run oc'd at 3.6-3.7 TH/s.  

I've been running them all for efficiency at 200Mhz for several months @ 3.2 TH/s.  
One unit gets cranky at stock S-3 clock speed (218.75).  Works perfect at 200Mhz.

Underclocked Stats - I turned them all to stock about 10 minutes ago so future stats will reflect stock speeds.

Shipping included continental USA.  They'll ship in original boxes.  Local Pickup available in Western Pennsylvania.  No International please, shipping charges are prohibitive.

SCAM. 

Your fake coin is in a fake slab.

The txt is wrong and its missing injection marks on the plastic. 

The coin your piece is impersonating - note the serial numbers match but the text and hologram label are very different.

Point of note regarding Actual Gold Weight (AGW) contained in the pictured coins.

20 Francs   - 0.1867 AGW
20 Lira       - 0.1867 AGW
20 Corona  - 0.1960 AGW
Sovereigns - 0.2354 AGW

Condition matters, but how much it matters is up to the market/buyer.

Re: The Habanero - 650GH/s - OOS

Bad news for me and my 2nd (and last) board.

I received a down miner alert while travelling and couldn't restart the miner. - OP status 10 - Main board 12V power is bad.  I thought the PSU died as I had been running the habanero full tilt to eek out a few more satoshi now that the weather is cool/cold.

I just got back and found that one of the crappy ribbon cables on a Corsair PSU had melted/burned.  Melted the connector almost to the board and burnt the PCB a little.  The other connectors are blackened a bit also, I guess I just ran it maxed out for too long (since day 1).

PSU still works and will be reused, but I'm going to retire this fire roasted habanero.

Thanks PepperMining team for building such an awesome miner.  These were by far the best built miners I've run, in addition to being really fun.  Thanks!

RRRRRRRRRight Sad

6 1/2 hours later

Tried:

Ubuntu 11.10, 13.04, 14.04.1, 14.04, 14.10.
LiLi installer Newar suggested.
Installed virtual box.
Plop linux.

HEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEE  it doesn't work Smiley

I have managed to get 13.04 to work from USB rest of them can fack themselves they do not boot what so ever.

13.04

I have followed XJACKS post from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=639810.0  post #7

Command: sudo apt-get install build-essential libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev  - doesn't work

moved to next step

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.0/Python-3.4.0.tar.xz
tar xvf Python-3.4.0.tar.xz
cd Python-3.4.0
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install

It was working but had some errors at the "make test"


Next step: I have created hashfast.rule file and pasted words from getaways guide.

Gateaway suggested to reboot pc so that rules can be valid or something like that.

Rebooted

hahahaaaaaaa loooooooooool loooool lol

Big letters to choose language - so I hit ENTER nothing. Pressed ENTER again nothing. Disconnected keybaord and pressed small ENTER aaaaaaand nothing.
So I have started pressing all keys on keyboard aaaaaaaaaand "M" is acting as ENTER. Ok pressed M and proceeded to next step which was asking me if I want to try Linux before installing so I have pressed M . Finally it booted up again aaaaaaaaand that's it. What ever I press is giving me error.


Anyone any suggestions Huh?? Smiley
Be quick becuase  I have hammer in my hand ready for use. LOL.



My post 7 was done on Ubuntu 12.04.  As to your kernel errors, install or reinstall libudev-dev.  Worked for me on that error a week ago after I somehow broke my 13.04 libs.

Edit: missed that you're on raspi.   I don't own one so ymmv.
