Topic: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip (Read 368035 times)

If bitmain staff are here pls pls see all of this order . all of this dont shiped , it should be ship on 10-20 October

For those who may be reading this that are new to buying from Bitmain. Trust me when I say it is worth paying double to buy on Ebay. For the amount of time you must hold the hands of their customer service and the stress and headaches they cause. Plus, their slow servers and "convenient" sales times, it is just not worth dealing with them direct. I have 3 nightmares going on right now.

I will be back to update my experience after probably another 20 hours of dealing with the robots at customer service. What kind of mess did I get myself into?

and why are you fucking reanimating a year old threat?

Hey dumbass, how come you're asking an altcoin question in the bitcoin section?  It's not fair to the usual forum members with brains... 

Hi guys,
I promote cloud minings for about 2 months.
Here are my stats:

This network has only 2 cloud mining offers.
I have some ideas to promote more cloud mining offers.
So, add your cloud mining there. It will be profitable for both of us.

I get that you are really pissed off.  you spent a lot of money and got shitty service.

so you dropped from 325 to 293 and got improvement?    that is good .

I know how to help it do better  but  it involves work.  you need a hot psu by hot 12.2 volts or 12.3 volts

and you need to set freq 300 even.

Now the bitmain psu  has a voltage pot and you can boost the power to 12.2 or 12.3 volts    this should help you get closer to 7.7th and have less hw's.

there is a thread from goxed that shows how ti access the pot on the psu.

Note psu power can kill you be careful

I think if you set your psu's to 12.2 or 12.3 volts and do freq 300 you will do better.

325M the default freq. I tried lowering it to 293.75, but things got just slightly better; that was the moment when I got convinced that the PSU's don't do their job, but guess I was wrong.
I tried also to increase it, but got even worse results.

so reducing frequency helped reduce HWerrors? sounds like a thermal issue. What are your fan settings, ambient temp, board temps? can you post a picture of the stats page?

if the ambient is >25C that could potentially have a big impact on performance, and you might be forced to run the miner at <300MHz in order to reduce the hardware errors

325M the default freq. I tried lowering it to 293.75, but things got just slightly better; that was the moment when I got convinced that the PSU's don't do their job, but guess I was wrong.

The easy way to lower hw's is lower the freq setting.   What is your freq setting?

Bitmain's support SUCKS big time !!!

I received the S5+ (7.7T SUPPOSEDLY) at the beginning of September and I immediately opened a support ticket (5th of Sep.) because the results I got with the miner were AWFUL !
I was waiting for 10+ days for a single reply, and each time their reply was asking me "did you do this, did you do that" although I explained in details what I've done, so they were obviously just stalling.
This took like 3 months of Q & A , going into circle with the same questions over and over , to finally notice that beginning December they CLOSED the ticket like it's been solved!!! I re-opened the ticket 10 days ago - and guess what - NO reply yet !!!

They didn't offer ANY solution for the whole time !!!
They tried to put the blame on the PSU's, so I bought 3 new 1600w PSU's  !!! For nothing !!!
I'm still getting like more than 70.000 HW errors per day showing 6.5T at the max

THE WORST COMPANY WITH THE WORST SUPPORT !!! *E*V*E*R* ! ! !

...
this is only getwork tho right? ... any way to make a stratum connection to my *coin*d wallet?

I've seen it asked how to solo mine with an AntS1

The solution:
1) Update the cgminer in the AntS1
Bitmain's cgminer is quite old and doesn't contain the fixes that are in my version to repair the problems they put in their version.
See the post above for details.

Then do 2 or 3:

2) The simplest solution is to solo mine at solo.ckpool.org
No changes required.
Read the first post for how to connect and the details about the advantages of using solo.ckpool.org over mining to your home bitcoind
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yh-solockpoolorg-1-fee-solo-mining-usade-251-blocks-solved-763510
Of course you should have a home bitcoind running, but mining to it has a MUCH higher chance of losing a block if you find one, unless you configure it's network connectivity better than some pools do.

3) Otherwise you can solomine to your own bitcoin by passing extra options to cgminer in your AntS1
The trick here is that the bitmain script that starts cgminer simply copies what you put in the pool info and passes that to cgminer
So, you can add extra cgminer options by editing a "PoolX password" field under the Status/Miner Configuration tab

In my miner I set the name the API shows for my Ant by setting "Pool1 password" to "pass --api-description Ant"
You must enter a password, and put a space after it, then you can add other cgminer options.

Firstly lets assume your bitcoind is running in standard settings.
You'll need to know the IP address of it, but lets guess it might be 192.168.0.10 <- of course you need to work out what it is and change it below - it's the IP address of the computer running bitcoin
Next you need to know the bitcoin configured Username and Password in the bitcoin.conf and put them in the highlighted places below
The Username and Password in the bitcoin.conf are the 2 lines:

rpcuser=Username
rpcpassword=Password

You also need to allow the Ant to mine to it, so you may need to add a line like this to your bitcoin.conf

rpcallowip=192.168.0.199

if 192.168.0.199 is the IP address of your Ant

Lastly you need a payout address to mine to - like 1xxxx - of course you need to use your address, not 1xxxx

To solo mine directly to your local bitcoind set the Pool1 settings as so (without the quotes ")
"Pool1" "http://192.168.0.10:8332"
"Pool1 worker" "Username"
"Pool1 password" "Password --btc-address 1xxxxx"

The settings don't need to be Pool1, you can use Pool2 or Pool3 and have solo as a backup.
You can also set the password field like follows so it mines to all 3 pools at the same time:
"Pool1 password" "Password --btc-address 1xxxxx --load-balance"
