and is anyone dedicating their miners to work on alt coins,  then converting to bitcoins
considering difficulty of bitcoin, i thought that might be the best thing but no one here seems to be doing that.  Would appreciate the advise
that what i am dong
and i have been doing for the last 2 weeks



Hi pjcltd and thanks again for helping me out when I was setting up my miner Smiley

I also have this question as to if its better to mine altcoins rather than bitcoins directly.

I have tried mining UNO but had better results in 24 hours by mining btc directly.

I am currently mining btc but I would love to know if I could increase my daily earnings a bit Smiley

Care to share some thoughts?

Thanks Wink

so ive gone through the setup process, seems everything was successful.  

in miner setup, I entered a p2pool address for pool1, and used my bitcoin address as the worke1 name, with some password.

how does do I actually initiate the mining process?


When you hit the SAVE&APPLY.  It will update your settings and restart the miner and start mining away.  If it does not, recheck your pool configuration.

I have noticed that even though everything is correct, you sometimes have to hit save and apply twice before it will actually start mining....not sure if it a particular firmware...but have noticed it on more than one unit....

thank you

on the WAN tap the Protocol is already on Static address (is this what you mean?)

and turning DHCP off pups up 3 additional tabs  (Start, Limit, and Leasetime)  do you have any suggestions for figures for those boxes

how would setting up the 2nd ant differ from the process I went through for the first one?  
is the portion of Susi's setup page about Change IP address of the AntMiner [Option]  have to do with setting up the second and subsequent machines?




If you have more than 1 ant all you do is set up each ant at a time. Set each ant with it's own Static IP. DHCP can cause loss of mining when the IP expires.

my desktop is connected to the miner via ethernet,  I am able to connect to the miner setup screen sometimes but after i log in and press on whatever configuration tab the connection between my desktop and the miner seems to drop off and the normal browser error screen when there is no connection.

Turning off the psu and powering back on establishes connection (not always) but the same problem happens. 
Now the miner is the new version and its ip address is in the region of my ip address.  Again pinging the ant gets response on some tries and nothing on other tries.   I have connected the psu, one wire per blade so no split wire thing.  Any ideas?



The miner should be connected direct to the router/switch unless you are creating a bridge using the desktop WIFI then via the ethernet port.

Start from default 192.168.1.99 then all you need to do is enter the pool and worker details. No need to connect direct to PC unless you are on a different sub net.



so no need to mess with the WAN or LAN setting's either?  I see the LAN is set to DHCP

The only reason if you want to mess with the WAN would be to set a static IP - my advice: edit the wan set IP to anything you want and disable DHCP as it will get very confused if it has a static ip also trying to get an IP from DHCP.

So

1. Connect to miner
2. Edit wan setting set Static IP
3. Turn off DHCP on miner
4. Set miner pool settings now apply the settings
5. Test on new static ip
6. Happy mining  Cool

Cheers

UPS actually delivered a day earlier than I expected! Seems like I need to replace one or maybe 2 fans but they got far less dust on them than what others have posted.

thanks Biffa,
so basically i can skip the Setup IP address on your computer step and continue from the next step which is Confiigure AntMiner for Mining Bitcoin or whatever other coin.
 
also my psu has 2 separate pcie wires, each with two identical connectors on one wire.  If i understand correctly, its I should use both separate wires for the antminer(one for each blade)  instead of using one wire and utilizing both its heads.

correct?


If your PC is already on the 192.168.1.x range then yes you don't need to change your PC settings. Plug the antminer into your network and see if you can ping its IP address. Open a console or command prompt and type: ping 192.168.1.x (whatever the antminers address is) if you get a response then you're good to go. Or just try browsing to the antiminers ip address.

Regarding the power wires, you will have less chance of overheating/loading the wires if you use separate ones for each blade rather than a split wire, especially if you are going to overclock.


need to power two ants but only one psu has arrived 750W Rosewill Capstone Gold, Single 12V rail,  +3.3V@24A,+5V@24A,+12V@62A,[email protected],+5VSB@3A  
no need to oc now, i can wait few days for second unit.   I dont know if i should use the split or what but ill figure something out



I use Rosewill capstone 650s to power mine. 1 per ant. 1 pcie per board. Overclocks fine, no hot wires or the like.

If it was me I would prob give it a shot with what you have but would keep a very close eye on the wires and certainly no overclocking.

CYPER has them on a split cable, just keep an eye on the cable temperatures, they shouldn't be too hot to touch.

i would not have them blowing toward a wall or whatever, this is just going to create heat around the chips and cause them t run badly, hot and fans at full capacity, If you have any loved ones they will kill you.

Better to have them blowing out the way and in-taking air from the wall, which can act as i giant heat sink if cold enough

it does look slightly hazardous, many it's just the wires give that impression. Ever heard of a cable tie? You generally get a bag in the box with your PSU.



@Cyper: unlucky dude, glad you got it fixed! i think the stock is more like 370 - 380 on these miners.

Hi, During the night one of my PSU's died, moving the rig into the new location today where the temp does not rise above 8c, Just need to find a good way of mounting all the ants and PSU's, I know it's stupid running so many PSU's but I find it cheaper in the long run.

Will update later upon new setup.

Also got my PM from Bitmain anyone else ?
