If these had been out at this price at the same time as the S3 they would have been a contender. They are superficially attractive and have adjustable frequency as well as voltage, unlike the S3, making it easier to under & overclock. However as has been said, Today a 2nd hand S3 is a tried & tested complete package and beats it hands down at both ends of the spectrum.

Topic: Bit Crane Mining Equipment from new egg it's temping . (Read 1006 times)
Seriously overpriced and inefficient. Ignore the things.
I remember looking at them when I first noticed them on NewEgg - and didn't even have to crunch the numbers, they're SO inefficient. They MIGHT be profitable if you have VERY cheap (5 cent or less / KWH) electric 'till the halving next year, but you'lll NEVER ROI the things unless your electric is free or bloody near to free.

I know it temping but not temping enough, i may buy one of the PI type controllers , it looks about the same as a PI2 for far less and works better from it says . i may buy one just to play with .
I think an s3 is a better deal no?
although this is probably majorly quieter.

Yes a S3 would be better it looks temping to play with, i didn't post the PI type controller they offered as well at 19.99 . it looked to be same as a PI2 but it wasn't but better . that I may buy to buy to see what it can do .
i kinda want a T110S to run under my desk at work.. too bad these are just the boards
Seriously overpriced and inefficient like anything out of Bitcrane at the point.
Ignore the things IMO.
Do remember you have to add a HEATSINK/FAN combo to them on top of adding a power supply. The price for one of these quickly adds up.

Even at their BEST undervolt+underclock, they're LESS efficient than a SP20E at it's HIGH hash rate settings, and you'd need 5 of them to get close to matching that SP20E's hash rate - which at recent pricing on SP20Es would cost you MORE for just the Bitcrain boards alone (+ more for the HS/fans etc).
You'd need 4 of them to match a Antminer S5 hashrate - which would cost you more for JUST the boards, eat 35% or so MORE power, etc....

too bad that are horribly inefficient. Pretty much 1W/GH
I wonder if it really requires all 4 pcie connectors running @ 500gh
I'm guessing that it must. One of the pictures makes it look like a splitter going from 1 pcie to 2 on board. Do these miners use a splitters?
The interesting thing is these are probably one of the few miners that are not running whall they wait to be sold. I think these are actually sitting on a shelf somewhere at newegg.

Huh. That's kinda tempting actually. Just to buy one to mess around with...

Here is the controller by the details it will run anything and Win 10 works on it i looked .
. at 19.99 that may just be temping enough to buy sense it sells for 59 bucks or more that model, on AMZON OR EBAY without the Bit Crane name they just re branded it, I'm sure .
