Hi peeps... i have some question regarding the hashing boards. I've found the following, comparing with dogie's photoshoot:

https://i.imgur.com/MUOYlYi.jpg

In this image, i've seen that the new hashing boards come with additional pins, with a 3-bit address and a plug pin. Is this a sign of a coming device with 8 hashing boards? Can i connect 8 hashing boards to the same controller with different address bases?

...

Hi!
I saw your old messages about different data connectors of Antminers S5 hashig boards of old and new batches.

Can you help me with connecting old hashing board to control board with data cables (16 & 18 Pin connectors)? Is it easy as I think? For example to connect '3v3' connector on hash board to equal connector on CtrlBoard?

Thank you!

you need a long cable, conect the board to the api board , and you will need a old s5 fimrware i think it is the first whit fan control..

But fan control is in last firmaware. Did you mean first firmware? Reboot miner to defult settings (small black button near ethernet cable) will help?

By the way - the address lines tie directly into the temp sensors (LM75 I believe) so the controller can tell which board has which temperature. PLUG tells the controller a board is attached, but I forget if it pulls high or pulls low. Been a couple years since I needed to know that, but I've got notes on it at the shop. Everything else should go straight across.

Technically all you need to get hashing is 3V3, RST, RX, TX and GND. With PLUG tied to the appropriate rail.

Thank you! I will report my results here soon. Cool

Hi!
I connected hash board to control board with 18 pin connector, without 2 pins.

Board not hashing!
I did not rebooted miner to defult settings or upgraded it to any firmware. Now it is working with last version of firmware.

I think I dont realy understand what it is about. Can you explain please. Is it mean, there will no correct information of temperature or information from PLUG to ctrl board will not be send at all, if I will not connect correctly?

So bit of a weird story.

I got an Antminer S5, factory reset it, connected it to a gold 605W PSU and pool and was mining at 350 hz, 1150 GHz and everything was working for around 12 hours at 60 degrees. Before I shut it down I changed the hz to 150 to see if it quieted the fan and shut it down.

I bought a new fan, removed the stock fan and tried to connect the 120mm new fan. The 4 pic connector was slightly different on the back and it wouldn’t fit the plug. I put the stock fan back on and powered up the machine.

Since then the only lights on the miner are 3 green and 1 red on the control board. There are no lights on the blades and I can’t connect to the IP anymore. The 2 lights in the Ethernet cable are on but not the green or red lights on the right of the Ethernet.

I have tried everything to connect, it won’t factory reset and nothing I do changes the power up sequence. The fan turns on and there are just the 1 red light and 3 green lights in a row on the control board. The Ethernet cable is connected and it works on other computers. I can see everything connected to my router but the antminer has disappeared. It seems like it is not powering up at all.

Please help.

you probabbly touched to much the bbb board and killed it, check your your psu, try reset and put original fan,,,

With BTC over $1400 USD, is this miner profitable once again? I pay about 12 cents CDN for electricity and the exchange rate from CDN to USD is 37%.

No. These are so old and outdated you need free power to make a profit.

I'm sure there's an underclock setting that's still profitable, replace the jet turbine with two two-wire case fans for a silent miner.

don't piss me off or else you will see the tigress

I have found a better mining solution man , will probably buy and Antminer s5 / Antminer S9 later , for now i don't wanna setup all those equipment's and stuff , maybe later in 6 month's, when i am able to cover the current costs , with my investments.

Here's a link check the last post , it's ideal for startup websites and startup miner's.

Make up your mind...

Mining BTC is for noobs but mining altcoin is risky because pools are subjects to attack ?

I don't follow...

Uhm, no I ment as a miner, the target is to mine at good alt-pools

Anyone mining bitcoin directly with an s5 is a noob Wink

Obvious targets are the pools that mine alts and have a higher value than BTC mining. The s5 is not dead yet!

ok got it Aoran's thank's anyway i know what mining is it's not about getting huge money, i am just gonna start a website and learn everything first then i will go for the big one's first .

It's not always about the money , need to experiment on a few miner's and learn and get it done first.

The money will come if you choose the right path and learn and do mining effieciently with small miner's first and then go for the large one's.

Hello guy's i was thinking of getting an antminer s5 for my new mining website , since the guy's here told me antminer r1 is useless and dosen't mine much , can anybody give me the power consumption for 2 months and the daily profit it produces , thanks in advance.

the s5 is great if you have no idea what you are doing and want to get started with the basics without spending a lot of money.. they use about 600 watts.. can be ran off a 750 watt power supply.. and can probably be found for less than 50$..

the problem is, you wont make any money with them if you pay anything at all for power..

the good news is, they do make ok heaters.. i have 2 of them in my shed i keep running at 150m (which is clocked under half) to keep the moisture out. i used to have a 500 watt heater in there.. so its win/win.

i have them mining on an altcoin pool..

you should do some research.. if you think you are going to plug in a miner and start earning a paycheck you are sorely mistaken.

I was asking everyone for a backup miner for my website and they are all saying , to focus on Antminer s5 , that is why i had to come and ask here the Antminer s9 is very costly i need a cheap and affordable miner especially , which has low current costs , if anyone can suggest a suitable miner i will be very grateful.

Buy an Avalon 6. can't go wrong with that. (Make sure you got a Pie and the cable to connect to it)

It should be in the same price range as an S7. (1100 watt)
