Where can I get the 'specialist coolant' for the C1?

Amazon has it.  I have ordered two different brands from them.

Both have worked fine for me.  I just highly suggest don't use regular water as some do.

Awesome guide as always! Got my new C1 up and running. Nice and quiet and currently averaging 1013GH at under 50°

Glad to hear it, let us know if you have any problems.

Asked about coolant choice in another thread but wanted to note to Dogie (whose guides I live by) that his Amazon coolant link is linking to an unavailable product so we can't buy it and if you use affiliate links (hope you do for all the work you put in) you aren't getting paid if I can't buy it Smiley

Updated, thanks.

OK, My C1 is acting up again. I turned it off and moved it into another room (I use these things as space heaters) and when I reconnected everything it won't hash. Reset it by holding in the button for about 30 seconds, I like to make sure it is reset, got into the web interface, entered in pool settings and everything, and now in the Miner status it doesn't show anything! I don't know how to upload pictures here unfortunately, but as far as I can tell the unit is fine, just isn't showing any ASIC status or hashing power.

Upload to imgur, then put the image's URL in between the below tags.

what is this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-s-NEWEST-ANTMINER-S3-450GH-265W-Hash256-Bitcoin-Miner-/231499804522?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
This guy is claiming its a S3++ A s3 with S5 chips
Is this a scammer or something?


The S3++ is a real thing that is/was sold in mainland CN only. I can't verify the legitimacy of that particular listing however.

You guys ever think that BitMain will be releasing an AntMiner C2 with the BM1384 chips? Maybe 2+ TH in a single unit?

I don't think its likely on this generation as the exchange rate wasn't good at the start of the gen. You can still make unofficial 'C2s' with SysCooling's kits and either stock S5s or S5 kits if you can convince Bitmain to sell you some.

Hi there, thanks for trying to help. When I got home I did a overall reset, turned it off for a few minutes and set everything back up with 2 notches above factory setting. I'm back at about 930gh/s average which is good enough for me. I appreciate you trying to help though! Smiley

I think C1 boards have a higher attrition rate than S3 boards as they seem to drop chips and eventually boards much quicker. One of my C1s is down about 1.3 hashing boards while the other is [was] fine.

Heya, I have an odd situation, had my C1 for months now, since around December working great. Today all of a sudden I get no "X"s across the board, all "0"s but at default Frequency I am only getting average 500gh/s avg. where as before I was always getting over 900gh/s. Any ideas?

Can you upload a screemshot of the status page please?

Thank you for your response.
Bitmain manual says "red" light flash....only ones I see are through the cutouts for the power connectors and on the blades or does the Ethernet connection lights flash red?

I can usually work my way through these kinds of things.

Had to move one of the pcb pins from the 3 volt to the 12 volt position on the pump/fan connector at the psu plug. guess the position is different on this ev3a 1000 G2 psu I bought .

update- thankfully heard from the seller, confirmed that was his ip address and he forwarded his user and pass.

I'll finish tomorrow morning.
I love these miners, so quiet. I really think folks with high temps didn't bleed the air out completely. my temps are always in mid 30's to 41 C.

I know it seems that you and Bitmain have had some sort of falling out....but your guide was so much help when I got my first C1...new from BM.

No falling out, just some of the older products were contracted for a shorter time. I'm still in antminer threads for the S4 and U3 as required.

Bought another recently from an eBay seller. Well packed and setup, once I got through moving the red wire in pump/fans harness so it got 12 volts instead of 3 volts, I found I couldn't reset it. Lucky I found the router had assigned it 192.168.1.59.....that got me to log in, but root/root doesn't work.

not where the miner is right now but I will try it when I'm able.....is that the default on some?

Should be root/root as default, you'll have to wait for him for a reply if you want to login.

First, why am I not getting a reset? Next do you think the 192.168.1.59 is really its ip and not just what my router assigning it? I set my first one to 192.168.1.200 as a "fixed ip", no telling what it would show if it was just plugged into another router. There again, I got to the login screen with the 192.168.1.59.

I've emailed the seller for login but I'd really rather reset. Conflicting info between Bitmain manual and your guide about resets and can't find much more on it.
Thank you in advance.

This is the first I've heard about reset problems in C1 firmware. You should just need to hold down the reset button on the controller for ~10 seconds until you see the lights flashing. I don't remember the specific pattern but you'll know when its done.
