It tends to be an exponential curve so running half the watts usually returns more than half the hashing power as long as there is enough power for the chips to come on. The limiting factor for any home mining farm is the Amps you circuit breaker can carry. Wink

That is true for under-volting, not for under-clocking. Can the S1 be easily under-volted?

Has anyone tried under-clocking their Antminer?

I'm paying 2BTC for 1GH/W miners right now,

but now these are going under 1BTC, I'm interested in how many GH they can produce with half the Watts?

Has anyone tried this? Can someone run a test at half the mV and tell me the resulting GH?

If it works, at this price, they could compete with 28nm!

Im going to try this on a set of 24 tomorrow. I will report back.

I imagine it might be possible to get close to 1w/GH but at the expense of significant hashrate. You would be able to underclock most other devices for similar efficiency. (for example, you can probably get a bitfury system to 0.5w/GH but would turn a 35Gh card into a 20GH card to do so

It tends to be an exponential curve so running half the watts usually returns more than half the hashing power as long as there is enough power for the chips to come on. The limiting factor for any home mining farm is the Amps your circuit breaker can carry so throwing away some GH to significantly reduce watts is a good trade if it means you can run more Ants. Wink

antminer S1 not include PSU(Power Supply Unit)

To easy choose PSU..

look Current is minimum 30A for 12 V

why minimum 30 A? this is answer:
a antminer S1 need 360W at voltage 12 V
you can check Current minimmum for one antminer S1= 360W/12V = 30 A

check in PSU about current in body PSU.

I ordered an antminer today and paid right away but didn't get a confirmation email and that's the status of my order.

I PM'd bitmain but no response yet.

Same here with 2 units I ordered earlier today but when I ordered 2 units about 10 days ago, the payment and emails were sent within the hour but now no order confirmation emails and payment emails, I guess we have to wait for Bitmain to respond.

Yea...I'm ok with that it was just the 'expired' part I was concerned about but if it isn't just me I guess they are just backed up today.
thx too who replied.

does anyone know how much bandwidth 1 dual blade Ant needs?

not much. looking at my router for banwidth monitoring:
LAN: 22kbps IN / 25kbps OUT
WAN: 10/12
Wifi: 20/22

This is between 6 antminers, a bitfury, my laptop, and a 2MH/s scrypt rig.   Its safe to say that the bandwidth usage is next-to-nothing

for renting a co-location, you need the slowest option they have. you could probably get away with dial-up. (This is the reason i opted away from the co-location route; datacenters are designed for FAST internet and moderate power demand. Bitcoin miners only need a basic internet connection but HIGH power demand)



thanks.

nice info, would come in handy. Thanks.

My order from last Monday sat in that status for 3 days, then finally showed the payment amount received, then moved to shipped on Friday.
Arrived today and mining away.

some tell dave @ mbp to go ahead and just start mining on those 25ghs boards for $400 each.... Smiley  all 660 of them,   no way they will sell those now!

S2 is coming within 7 days!? I do hope S2 will go with 28nm, otherwise we will hardly earn profits from them.  

S2 has been confirmed early April, and yes 28NM or 55NM with new design and cooling + power

Cheers

Please give more information.  Grin

really? please give more info..

Just email them the order number and transaction ID and they should fix it and let it go through. The payment usually doesn't post when you use a third party wallet such as blockchain wallet... etc. Bitmain will email you back. They always fix my problem when things like this happens....   Smiley

(This is the reason i opted away from the co-location route; datacenters are designed for FAST internet and moderate power demand. Bitcoin miners only need a basic internet connection but HIGH power demand)


So lets say you did colocate. How would you access the miners remotely? Would that be possible to setup?

I see there being two ways:
1) via IP access to the unit. this could be difficult or unallowed by the data center's firewalls and certainly require having explicit permissions set for the ip range of your miners
2) install a small pc that you can connect to remotely via teamviewer or similar, and use that to access the local miner IP addresses

The second option is probably the most common I would imagine

Yeah those were my exact thoughts as well. Even number 2 would be difficult to do with security settings I would guess.

Can't say no at ~0.95 BTC after coupon application. Just ordered another one. Thanks Bitmain !
