Received today the U2's, they are working fine (joined their older U1 brothers, with a mild oc to 2.06 GH/s, clock=x0981).

Thanks Pidge!

Using the Antminer U2 with cgminer and bfgminer, the guides for the U1 can be used e.g.

cgminer - http://cryptomining-blog.com/735-running-antminer-u1-usb-asic-with-the-latest-cgminer-3-12-3/

BFGminer  https://bitcoin.co.th/how-to-use-antminer-u1/

If you don't provide specific arguments to with cgminer, the U2's are detected as a "AMU" devices (ASICMINER USB), and run at AMU speeds.

With cgminer 3.12.0 and later, providing the "--icarus-timing=short --anu-freq 250" parameters to cgminer indicates that the devices are Antminer devices and the clock speed (250 MHz = 2GH/s).  cgminer also refines the timing of checking of when the device completes a share as time goes on.  (Note - tested with cgminer 4.0.0)

And at 250MHz, the heatsinks are painful to the touch on the three I have running.


Thanks for the info.  I have a bunch of U1's which are working reliably (used with bfgminer 3.10 right now, with mild over-clocking to 2.06 GH/sec each).
Thanks for the tracking. The U2's are are slowly making their way to Australia, from your description they will keep my place warm in the approaching winter...Smiley

I can confirm that I received my Antminers from Peter today. He was very informative throughout the entire process and kept me in the loop the entire way. This is my second time ordering a miner from Peter, he's very helpful and I would happily buy from him again.

* Cleared NZ customs on April 1
* Posted from AKL on April 2
* Arrived in Wellington today, April 3, via track n trace

Run a Bitcoin node.
I can vouch for Peter, I have met him in person.  Top guy, highly recommended.

I'm still running the 9 ASICMINER Block Erupter USBs that he sold me way back in 2013. Happy customer, I've never had any problem with the BEs. I can also confirm his TradeMe account - that is the account I bought from.
