Thank you!!

If you could PM us your BTC address and Text Art...

Thank you for the COOL TEXT ART!!!

If you could, please include the Antminer Logo

or say BITMAIN

Please PM us your BTC Paymetn Address!!

Thank you!!!!!!!

I used beer as my excuse last S3 purchase. Haven't consumed enough to cloud my judgment enough to get back into mining. LOL. Good luck with yours, Xian. I hope they work out well.

Against my better judgement, I pulled the trigger on two B1 S5's and have received shipping confirmation.

Here's genuinely hoping this launch is smoother than the S3 launch.

Cheers, Bitmain.

The only issue I've ever had with the S2 was when I accidentally tore up one of the fans at the tail-end of a 16-hour shift getting stuff ready so I could leave for a week over Thanksgiving. I didn't have time to fix it and it shut off for overheating on the one end. Once I put a fresh fan in it, it lit right back up. The thing's been running spot-on with almost zero crash/downtime since... July? Might have been June I fetched it.

I have no complaints about the Tube, as far as hardware reliability (though of the 30-odd in my care for hosting, I started with 5 DOA boards and two of them did smoke VRM controllers, which was an easy fix) - the crap about them is the BE controllers. Of course the 11 Prismas in my care for hosting also haven't had any hardware problems yet, but that may be a statistical aberration? The Prismas sucked balls on BE controllers, but for the most part behave on USB adapters.

In any case, philipma, I look forward to reading your test results. I also look forward to the engineers getting back with some answers. I'm apparently a businessman these days, but I'm actually an engineer and one conversation with good numbers means a lot more than any amount of hard-sell.

I own quite a bit of Bitmain gear, and I can say with confidence they will not make gear as bad as Asic Miner makes..

That's beyond me.  ....beating myself around for weeks for not ordering more S3 B1's   

trace your addy forward and see if it leads to the  addy I gave above.


 I can only find the one big one now.  but that does not mean they do not have more big addy's.

  they used to have quite a few really big addys 3 I think.

When they did the s-3's I found batches 1, 2 ,3 each sold 2000 s-3's

the big fear is will behave like Asic Miner"s tube or prisma.  

I owned both of them and both   had current/heat runaway problems. very hard to keep stable.

 Once I get the test module I can

A) undervolt it with 1 psu.

B) over volt it with another psu.

C) volt it perfectly with a high quality psu.

D) sent 11 volts to one board and 13 volts to the other board. using 2 different psu's

E)Set a low freq

F) set a high freq

G) add the higher quality silverstone fan for cooling

The s-1 and s-3's I have had were all good or very good. 1 dead ethernet and all else good out of 30-35 units.

I have read problems on the s-2 the s-4 the c-1 but I never had one of them to test

Yes.  I paid to a different addy.  I ordered within 15 min.  Expecting a tracking # tomorrow.  Should be up and running tues or wed.  I'll try to post...

Righto, thanks. I doubt anyone goes out of their way to trust my opinions, but I really like Bitmain gear (for disclosure, I own about 15 undervolted S1, run an S2 Kit and an S3) and I can't recommend the S5 until I trust a few things have been taken care of. It'd be really nice to have gotten ahold of one of those evaluation units, but then a thousand other people could say the same thing.

Forwarded again to engineers, I did before but no answer yet.

I've still got some questions that I think went unaddressed - besides the holiday I've been phlegmatic and unconscious for most of this week. Regarding the expected hashrates from a 0.8V chip (22GH according to the first-post chart) and 60 chips per machine, why the machine's hashrate is rated at 14% under that. Also what provisions were made to keep node currents stable during chip use fluctuations. One user keeps asking for the ability to disable individual chips, which for a string miner would be a pretty bad thing to have happen but if chips disable themselves, what provision is there for proper currents to keep flowing? Are there any provisions for chips overvolting? Like say, using a server PSU that's reading high and outputting 13V instead of 12 (which isn't terribly uncommon), giving you an 8% overvolt - say one node in your string fails short and now you're running 14 nodes. You're now 15% overvolted on all chips. How is that handled? I'm not really looking for proprietary trade secrets, I already know how I'd do it if I were making a string miner. I just want to know that some of these safety measures were not overlooked. It's entirely too common for string miners to catch on fire - they're a really good idea, but with a few particular tricky details that shouldn't be left up to chance.

It will display via SSH w/ putty, VT100, Linux Terminal, xterm, xterm256 color, etc..  common defaults work fine.

I replaced /etc/banner with this and logged into one of my S3's w/ putty (default settings)

This is pretty nice.  I like it of the four shown so far.

I like the second one, will that display fine everywhere? I've not seen those characters before.

Should the Antminer-logo be included?

SaltySpitoon,

Firstly, thank you for your input.

However, if I am to be accused of something I have not done on a Bitmain thread, by someone who is paid by Bitmain - I believe I am, at the very least, entitled to an apology. Is that so unreasonable? I think not. I'm sure that you have read the circumstances of my request in this thread - if it were to happen to yourself, would you not want an apology? As genuine & appreciated as BitmainWarranty's & Yoshi's apology was, it's not the same, and until dogie realises the errors of his ways, the situation will continue & indeed probably get worse - weather it is with me or any of the other forum members he's seen fit to abuse or insult on Bitmain threads. It has gone too far already - & needs to be nipped at the bud.

Sorry, but my request still stands.

I tried to keep it under 80 columns so it can be used in terminal w/ proper proportions.

Not sure what your usage scenario is...  but if this works  ->  1MftCWPxkBjoMST1rs8Tv4LZiZTq91CByb
