testerx's December unit arrived today ..

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cointerra-terraminer-iv-unboxing-and-setup-461077

He's not happy with the initial performance parameters though ..

Triff ..

Ouch so he's only getting 1.2TH at the pool...  

Lets do the ANTMINER Math again on this  -- 1.45BTC*6 = 8.7BTC cost for same hashing power in ANTS.  If we use the last MTGOX price of $575 that is basically $5K worth of ANTS to match a cointerra box... WOW - interesting.  I really wanted to bid on a goat box but it seems more and more likely by the time they arrive the only logical choice will just be to mine them out!

Now we all know today is a big lul in price due to all the exchange issues but still...

Well it looks like I'm just going to be keeping these unless I get at least $11,000 for them. These will mine for months after the others are too pricey cuz of electricity.

I best call out the power guy I guess and run a bunch of 220!  Smiley



Good luck to you.

Thanks. The hardest part so far was telling the guys I need normal plugs for the 220. In the USA we use these crazy large plugs for 220 most of the time.

Watch out here - they use 'crazy large plugs' for a reason - because running 30A at 240V needs higher gauge connectors and cables than normal US 110V 5A.  Watch you don't burn your house down!  I ended up paying over $600 for some quality power cables and splitters that ran on NEMA 6-20, well worth it.

Correct most power supplies accept 120-240.  Some have a little switch on the back and some are auto sensing.

Goat not sure if you are still putting a few in the house, but can't get an electrician do that swap...  But if you go to Home Depot and find the English speaking one of the group you can do it plus if the wife wants anything else done they have that covered to!  LOL!  Wink

The hardest problem is getting an electrician to side step the NEC if you want to change things up like that.. A licensed electrician can lose his license for violations like the one you are asking him to commit.

I would imagine it's possible to get an adapter for those.  I have a friend who has something like 10 KNC miners in his house.  His problem is he literally has no more electricity.  When he tries to put the next one in it blows breakers.  Took him forever to balance the load so he could have 10.
For the amount of coin you are going to make with those you should rent space in a data center.  Depending on where you live you can get a cabinet with two 30 amp outlets (maybe more) for about $900 a month with electricity included.

They are supposedly shipping tomorrow... I would guess that they could be delayed till monday shipping. And yes my friend, it seems china is undercutting your hardware. They gotta be shipping around 500 th every two weeks now.

So I can order 10,000 units tomorrow? There has to be some delay other than shipping times.

Also anyone have any of these in hand or are they so far a vapor product?

They have been shipping for the past 6 weeks in large amounts.  I have 9.  The next price drop later next week will be 1.25 Btc for 200 Gh/s (overclocked).  Delivery is always UPS Express Saver International.  Shipped on Monday arrives on Wednesday.
For those of us who did not order these big miners, it's the best deal going. 
Two TH/s right now for $10,300.  Later in the week it will be $8,887.
I would pay a premium for getting 10 miner boxes down to 1 and the electric savings, as anyone would.  But not too much of a premium since these things stack three high and you can run three off a 1350w PSU.

The quick pricing adjustment discounts following the increase in network difficulty more than offsets the $7 a day in electricity savings.

eh... its all semantics until we see what the network hash rate and the price of bitcoin is in the next month. As is. Antminers are .55 gh/watt. Cointerra is .8gh/s. I have several antiminers and I am still adding. The energy usage is negligible as far as profitability goes.


I agree about the energy.  Figure 6-8 weeks usefullness then time to upgrade miners.

Im looking at CT website shop.  

The May machines are $5900,

I think alot of people dont realize that by that time the machine will probably only make less than $700 in the first 2 weeks if they get it May 1.

ROFL as I was scrolling up to switch sections this was there.  Goat BITMAIN is after you man Sad

1.9 BTC would be $1330  and you need 9.5 of these to get the same hash as the CT so 9.5 x 1330 = $12,635  and it uses double power...


well i just sold two more for $12,000 thinking it was a good idea but maybe i sold it for not enough.

You realize it was the irony of it which is why I posted just the luck of advertisements but still cracked me up.

Personally if I would be doing the same as you.  I offered $10k for a unit maybe 2 and I said I could meet you in Austin since I maybe taking my Porsche there to get its motor back in.  The fact you aren't taking $10k that's fine.  You are selling them at $12k and people are buying them I support you 100% because I would be in the same boat...  Until about unit 6...  Then $14k per Wink

My Cointerra in our datacenter was PRO Cointerra...  The fact that Antminers vs CT for hashpower is that you save a little money but your energy bill gets shit on with the Ants.  I bought 10 more Ants because of all the BS with shipping I backed out of one of Platos pre-orders just because it wasn't certain.  A week later they are showing up.  Yes I am kicking myself because having to add more circuits to our shop because I could have had the CT unit(s) hosted for free LOL.

Guys drop it...  When you start comparing prices you forget the amount of power to run 1.6/1.7 TH/s of Ants you start to see the Cointerra price difference easily.  I'll have 14 Ant's up and running hopefully by the end of the week.  Doing this though I am having to install 2x 30amp 240V breakers and split the load between 2 PDU's.

I'd like 1 or 2 Cointerra's because honestly I can put them in our datacenter and not have to worry about anything.  I can't do that with my Ant's...  Millions in IBM equipment to demo to customer and random Antminers hanging in the racks would not go well LOL!

I'm not trying to defend anyone that is pushing the Ant comparison as there is a number of factors to consider when comparing them to a Cointerra unit but look at the threads in goods with hundreds of pages of replies, yes they have been shipping, and are shipping by the hundreds each week. This is most likely one of the regular contributors to the ongoing increase in hashrate, and the earlier comments on price are correct.

I know in the US when I order I will receive in 3 business days, they are shipping right now from Bitmain
