When setting it up VIA wifi, I just have to type the IP of the ant miner in my browers to connect? Or do I have to do it like a router and connect via hardwire?

Depends if you're close or far from the router. I personally connect the Ant through ethernet cable direct to the router, punch in the default ip 192.168.1.99 into a browser, and voila I'm in the Antminer config.

If you're unable to connect via wireless or wired, search the forum for "Antminer setup". There's step by step by Dogie and Sushi which should be helpful.

Just remembering some of the Antminer threads, there have been some issues if BTC transfer has not been received within the hour.

If your order is still pending after 2 or 3 hours, you should email [email protected] before resubmitting, then post in the main Bitmain thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/antminer-s1-sales-open-price-changes-daily-now-0414-btc-for-180ghs-417159 as well as PM Bitmain to see order status before re-submitting the order.

Congrats! Best of luck on your investment. Not sure on ROI, but for the pricetag and speed of delivery, it beats any pre-order delay anyday.

I am just trying to get started learning about how to ASIC mine, I already mine Primecoin with my CPU.

While you wait for your Antminer to arrive, get your PSU ready, preferably a Corsair in the 500-600W range if you plan to overclock.

Just ordered 6 Antminers from Bitmain and 3 power supply units from Tigerdirect for about $4,500. 1080 gigs of hashing power. As for the heat that they will generate in my apt..........

So Bitmaintech.com is a good site eh?

Furthermore how long does it usually take for the miner to get to you?

Depends where you're located. I'm on the east coast of the US, it arrived in 5 days after I placed my order.

Do you know if they are sticky about that must pay within an hour? I sent it from my exchange(probably a bad idea.. o well) and it will probably take 1-2 hours :S.

If it's legit, I'd get the used Jupiter if you're worried about heat and power consumption. A bunch of Ants will be power pigs.

I am considering getting one Ant, the question is do you think it will pay itself off? Firstly by pay itself off I don't mean in USD spent, but in Bitcoin spent. Would it be able to make back 1 bitcoin at least?

Secondly, I see a lot of people buying so the diff will go up, some calculators tell me that with a 30% diff jump it WILL pay itself off in 3 months(excluding VAT,PSU purchase).
