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?

Hi, guys.
Bitmain on his website say that "Shipping-out starts on Feb 8th." When they start taking new orders? A few days before?
What do you think ? What is the right price for you ?

I would wait for him to get back. There was some talk about new prices. I am thinking around 1.5
No way, to have the same break-even time as a January antminer @ 1.9 BTC a February one needs to be closer to 1.0-1.2 BTC given the difficulty increase. Even then it won't return as much as a January one over time. The closer to 1.0BTC they come the quicker they will break-even and the more they will make before running them becomes more expensive than the returns after 6 months.
The other option is they double the hashrate for the same price as now. That should give the same sort of return as a Jan one.
Great, I won't complain.

One of mine came with some dust and upon further inspection just now after seeing the photos above, I see that there is a bit of paste bleed. Nothing to the extent that is shown above though. The other unit had no dust and no bleed. Both units came very well packed in separate boxes with no damage at all.

got mine today(new version v1.6 1/4/14), both dont have the major dust problem like other have shown, one has almost no thermal paste out of place, while the other has the bleeding thermal paste coming out of both sides...
im trying to set up, havent done much but short the psu and read sushi's notes along with the threads a few times.
machine ip is: 192.168.1.xx
my ip is: 192.168.1.xx

when i select Use the following IP address (to enter his suggestions), it no longer lets me select Obtain DNS server automatically is this ok because sushi's instructions say to select the Obtain DNS server automatically field

Firstly, if your PC is already in the 192.168.1.xx range before you started you don't need to do anything just connect to the antminer.
But if it isn't then thats correct, once you go manual you have to enter dns server manually
But, you don't need a dns server to connect to the antminer, so either leave it blank or use 8.8.8.8 (Googles public DNS) it makes no difference because you won't be able to reach it anyway unless your network is already in the 192.168.1.xx range before you started.

You think will catch fire ? there is good breeze and cold air. I really want to move rig to more space and room. I bought some WIFI extenders but they are a lump of **** How do you suppose I get ethernet about 20m from my home to my out door venue without running a cable ? or power line addaptors, I thought about setting up a bridge between router and building but need to find a good access point any ideas ?
from experience i would NOT recommend powerline adapters, although am still on them currently and they are working they loose connection at random.
Lan is always the best solution..
Catenary wire perhaps ?

I am not pleased with the delivery of sub-optimal units direct from BitMain. My sushi units were always "new" out of box, including that fresh electronic smell and none of my previous 6 had the extremely excessive paste issue.
However, the two units I received today, the 27th after ordering on the 21st, are below expectations and sadly a blow to my confidence in further buys. They were double boxed and taped (unlike the single box from the Sushi GBuys).

So by the looks of it, if you received a unit where the thermal paste has ran then you have got a unit that has been mined with in a very hot dirty Chinese mine.
and the guy who has the job of cleaning and re-packaging will be having a carer change shortly..
I nearly ordered 1 myself and now am glad I didn't.
edit 2 : interested if you removed the heat sink whether it is noticeable that the paste has run from top to bottom

I just received my ant. Fastest shipping I've ever seen from china! Ordered last monday and it came this monday so about 7 days to arrive. Hashing at 180 as expected. Great deal, thanks!
Super quiet (more quiet than my scrypt mining rig) and running quite cool. Only slightly warm air at the end of the tunnel. Excellent hardware so far. Now lets see if it lasts long enough to get my investment back...

Tracking numbers still need time to be put in. Sorry to make our customers uncertain at this stage of shipping. We will try to make another status "Financial controller has approved the shipping", "package started", "shipped out"status before the tracking numbers put in.
Anyone that ordered before 27 should be ok. see above.
I don't see anything relevant to the 27th..
what about ON the 27th?
edit: just received tracking from myUPS... separate tracking for each unit. awsome...
Thank you bitmain.

Tip for all: If you are getting 100-150GH hash rate, try swapping PSUs. That solved the issue for me.

My order is still showing as "unshipped" :-
Order ID: 00120140125230827034TSaiF5pz06C3
Date: 2014-01-25 23:08:27
Does this mean that it will not arrive until after Chinese New Year?
Mine also still shows unshipped but My UPS showed in en route. Check My UPS
January 27, 2014, 09:53:39 PM
