When is somebody going to make a magical money printing machine that is plug and play? :/

Lol the Antminers are basically plug and play

(It cannot get much easier)

Yeah, but the whole IP thing, mining configuration, admin password, and the power plug. So untoasterish.

I can start a service "mining for dummies" not meant as an insult but to mock the book series. You call us up give us your pool info we config and ship it to you plug and play ready all you do is plug in power and data and off you go Shocked

That's not a bad idea. In fact love it! I say you go for it!!!

lol so maybe ill post it as an offer we already sell mining hardware on ebay I can offer this as an additional service we already unpack test for 12hrs document then ship out to customers to ensure no DoA units so if anyone is interested in having there miners pre-configured ready to mine just "plug and mine" let us know Grin

I have several S2's however anytime I have a power outage, or I need to move one I have to reset them up.

Any Ideas about what I am missing?

Replace the crappy class 4 SD cards bitmain shipped the units with to a decent class 10 card see if that helps

for a low low fee of 0.3BTC? Could be popular...

sadly, I do agree that people would sign up. But wait, there's more! What about MaaS - Mining as a Service! Maintain and run the miners from their home. We're so smart.

re db- I have a very quiet S2 from the recent batch that was shipped 6/26. Room temperature: 28.4oC/83oF
At 1m distance, it is just 62 dB, and if you get as close to the fans as possible-66-67 dB.

I know that some reported different numbers-but this is what I got with dB Pro app on iPhone.

Good point. My previous statement was from a B3 order. My B4 units do seem noticeably quieter, but I don't have them in the same operating environment so comparing them (in my case) is moot.

What is a noise level of AntMiner S2 1Th/s? 80Db?

Less than that. It depends on your ambient temp. Highest I've recorded was 70dB and that was in 30'C or so ambient.

make sure that you are running the system from 6/19/14 and NOT 4/10/14.
If you are still on 4/10, download 6/19 to a laptop, then use update function on the "system" pan in antminer S2 to browse for it, then update.
The "wheel" will be turning forever, but you have to wait just few min (I waited five from the abundance of caution), then simply close browser window and power cycle the miner (PSU OFF, wait 20 sec, back ON).
It helped for my s2.

I am only getting about 800 to 900 g/h out of my s2's any and the one that is getting 800 only 1/2 of my fans are running.

Any suggestions

Open them up and check the fan connections - not good to run them without the fans doing their job...
