as a bit of news ASICMINER may put out an s-1 killer in the x-box a 400gh 450watt 400usd unit.

well, they just coming soon...no posted prices as far as I can see. Bitmain strength is in fast distribution and high reliability and that takes time to establish, but I am totally open to try- make use of my power supplies.

Anyone else having trouble with recent S1 units? I have 1 out of 3 units giving me problems and bitmaintech is making me go through hoops to get anything resolved!!!

Your first pool is dead. To get rid of X-try to reboot by going into system and reboot without shutting the power off. it helps on mine.
Your hashing speed is ~ correct with 5/64 asics not functioning (you are ~7% off in speed as expected). 7% off is still better than to send the miner back.
Good luck.

I agree that if I have to pay to ship it back and be down for a week with no rig it doesn't make sense but you pay for 180 ghs they should give you 180ghs. If they need to send a replacement board thats on them not my problem.

No harm trying, but I doubt that they will replace it. BTW, I never had exactly 180, it was either ~178gh on 350mhz or ~191-192 on 375mhz

Yeah I hope they do something but from the reaction I am getting here I doubt it.

yeah my other ones are about that 178-182. My S2 is av 1003.

just so obvious to me that one is defective though they should just give good customer service and send replacement boards for it. Margins are so low for miners RMA process just kills whatever you have left. Guess you have to know that when you buy from them what you get is what you get.

I have had 10 and they all worked flawlessly. I guess there are lemons once in awhile.

Remember they warranty for 90 days if defective you send back pay postage and they ship to you back and they pay their end of shipping.

If that's the case it won't be worth it, will cost at least $40 for me to ship it back to them. I assume they won't ship me one back until they get the first one. So $40, at least 1 week without a miner, chances are I will get charged taxes again on the next unit so add another $40. All in all if that's the case I got jipped and will not get what I paid for.

I hope they realize on a $200 product it is cheaper to just send replacement boards then to have me ship back and them send a new unit.

Yes. The shipping expense amd time mining is a big problem and it sucks because they are so far. This is the dilemma my friend had with a unit that was missing some screws and a bent frame but it did not affect hashing so he kept it.

try setting freq to 300 and doing the pencil mod.

If I don't get a reasonable response from bitmain I will try that but for now I don't want to touch a 7 day old unit that has been defective from day 1.

bitmain has not been to good with rma.

the gear works most of the time.
the gear ships fast.

I have had about 30 of them 1 was a dud.

the dud was a hassle to rma ,

but thomas from minersource helped me with it . .

sushi the seller and bitmaintech were not helpful. .

I agree they ship fast that was really impressive.

But RMA on these is to costly they should just send replacement boards. Sure looks like I am stuck at lower then advertised hash rates on this one.

Not mining now. But watching the enthusiasm to see if km actually has something come out the next 30 days.

First pool is dead because that is how it work on betarigs to rent your rig Wink

I agree that if I have to pay to ship it back and be down for a week with no rig it doesn't make sense but you pay for 180 ghs they should give you 180ghs. If they need to send a replacement board thats on them not my problem. It is brand new!!

I did try the reboot with no power off, sometimes it give me more X's sometimes less. somtimes a whole board doesn't come online. There is no question this unit is defective! There just needs to be a solution from bitmain on what to do about it.

I don't know about you guys but I'm starting to sell out my Ants. I think they are starting to become too low hashrate machines.

Maybe in 2-4 weeks if BTC is at 660-670, longer if higher. I am hoping that bitmain will EOL S1, as this should increase the resale value.

Asic equipment cannot rise in value faster than the difficulty jumps. In 2-4 weeks will be 14-16 Billion difficulty.

More like, when Bitmain stops dropping the price weekly, it becomes more market driven instead of the usual

"you want how much?!?!? I can buy them direct for bla bla bla less then your selling!!!!"

you said it... Grin

or "I bought some a couple of weeks ago for less than $200"

My miners are already profitable in BTC, now i just need to maximize the resell value in $$ to subtract electricity expenses and have profit in both $$ and BTC.

Now is a good time to sell btc priced equipment or the btc itself, as the price will probably come back down to around $520-530 usd for BTC later.

or hyperextend to $2500, I have no insight into the future.
