Yep, is quite high

Those of you who live in US and order S1 regularly, could you please give me an estimation on expenses (import taxes, handling or whatever)and if you have any problems because of the fact you order them regularly?

Thank you in advance

There are no import taxes to the US.
Handling charges usually only come into play if the carrier has to deal with paying import taxes.
Shipping is included in the price.

Why don't you just order one and see.

Is it possible to underclock the Antminer so it uses less juice?

Yes, definitely.  If you ssh into your S1, edit the /etc/config/asic-freq file, there are options for underclocking:



Uncomment the line you'd like to run at and reboot your S1.  That's all there is to it.


You can also just reload the daemon e.g.
Code:
/etc/init.d/cgminer reload

I've noticed that it's sometimes necessary to run it twice to launch cgminer. Just a timing thing?

Yes, definitely.  If you ssh into your S1, edit the /etc/config/asic-freq file, there are options for underclocking:

Code:
        #option 'freq_value'    '4c81'  #325M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '325'
        #option 'timeout'       '40'

        #option 'freq_value'    '0b81'  #300M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '300'
        #option 'timeout'       '45'

        #option 'freq_value'    '0981'  #250M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '250'
        #option 'timeout'       '55'

        #option 'freq_value'    '0781'  #200M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '200'
        #option 'timeout'       '70'

        #option 'freq_value'    '4f02'  #193M
        #option 'chip_freq'     '193'
        #option 'timeout'       '70'

Uncomment the line you'd like to run at and reboot your S1.  That's all there is to it.

I don't see why. Your literally asking it to work less, so it could do it. Of course to a certain extent, then you have to go into voltage changing , swapping resistors, etc.I'd assume 10%, over or underclock.

how long should a power supply have to run these antminers because I can declare it's 100% stable?  1 day? 2 days? 12 hrs?

Yes. I did some numbers on bitcoinwisdom.com with these assumptions:

There will be a 20% increase of difficulty every time (highly unlikely)
You are running 500 antminer s1's at 200 gh/s, 400w apiece.
BtC/ USD = 624
$/kwh is .21
Antminer is .89 each, no other costs.
With  all that, breakeven for 100 th/s is 81 days, with a 20% increase difficulty every two weeks, and power costs are factored in as well.
try your self: http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator

Thanks for that, Also did some figures on the thegenesisblock. Says up till June will only be profit after that will be in  the negative Sad

No matter how much I could invest the costs don't weigh up the profits + if say I buy 500 S1's within a month or two these will be come old hardware :/

Trying to get the business model right Sad
Then sell them on Ebay. Plenty of fools there. Put into s2's. Rinse and repeat. Or you could rent out gh/s and do cloud mining.
