Topic: [Not in Stock - Free Shipping] AntMiner U1 USB STICKS - US/Canada .042 unit - page 28. (Read 47186 times)

I download the custom windows build from github for ant miner says it is cg 3.8.5

it would not run said I was missing zlib.dll   I dragged the zlib.dll from 3.9 and put it into 3.8.5
this works.  I have 1 stick running at over 1.7gh  so the next adventure  is getting 2 plus sticks to run.

so far a no go on that.

I have 1 stick working so far it is doing about .6gh  I am using cg3.9 with a windows 7 build.  I changed the driver with zadig.  it now reads amu not icarus. I am running a lot on this pc

1 bfg miner with 5 nano/ice furies  scores are 2.5 each with a 53 for over clock

1 gui miner with a hd7970 about 660 kh

1 cgminer 3.9 with 1 ant miner usb 1   .gh  i will tweak more but it is hashing.

 to iluvpcs I owe you a positive trust  I will post it later.

I got my Virtual Box 64-bit Win7 running by just following the Antminer user guide on my Mac, I can second this--it works as advertised.

You have to use the AntMan custom build cgminer right now to get them running (with the CLI options in the readme)

I helped a person on OSX with Parallel last night to get them working on his rig, so they do work.

Order Received. Thanks

Pulled down the latest cgminer (3.9.0) on OSX using home-brew and it see's the miner and uses it but at varying clocks between 300mhz to 900mhz.

brew tap nwoolls/cryptocoin   (Thanx nwoolls)
brew install cgminer --HEAD

probably just need to find the timing tweak. At least it mines.

WIll report more later.

Order received! Thanks iluvpcs

Order received!

All items present and accounted for. They sure are pretty. Manufacturing quality looks a step above ASICMINER USB Block Erupters (no disrespect to ASICMINER because they were some of the pioneers). Let's see how the shine translates to function and reliability.

Will do some set up this evening.

Thanks iluvpcs. Well done. Sell more stuff so I can give you more of my BTC. 

Interesting.  I just did that on my Debian Squeeze box and didn't get that warning.  It compiled fine after ./autogen.sh, configure [options], and make.


Yep, not sure why miner.php doesn't enumerate them.  But it reporst the same as a block erupter USB because it has the same vendor and device id, which are what is normally used to report the devices.  I'm sure there's a workaround that could be coded in, but it'd have to dig deeper into the devices for something to differentiate the two.  I agree, not nice at all on the part of Bitmain - they should at least have a unique device id for the U1's.

  thread link please 

just sent payment and PM for 3 sticks, thanks!

I had the same problem until I followed the normal rules for ASICminer Block Erupter USBs - i.e. add the user to the plugdev group and/or make the devices chmod 666 and also copy the rules from cgminer.rules to /etc/rules.d per the instructions for ASICminers.  I restarted udev and relogged in but no joy.

Then I rebooted while trying the things on normal bfgminer (getting, as you say, weird results from them).  When I brought them back to the linux box with the Antminer cgminer binary, voila' - it worked.  I'm using 115200:20 and stock speed right now and hashing away.  My linux is Ubuntu 13.10 (edubuntu) on that box  (couldn't get the binary to be happy with Mint 14, Debian Squeeze, or Ubuntu 12.04, so it's on the kids' computer).

Hope this helps!  Good luck!

The miner I bought arrived today.  It is *CUTE*.  It will make a nice addition to the collection.  It was a pleasure doing business with iluvpcs and positive trust was left.

The windows binary works just fine once the USB driver is installed.  Too bad for me I don't normally run a miner on the few windows machines I own.  I prefer to keep my miners on a raspberry pi.

Now for the bad news, and none of it has anything at all to do with the group buy.  What I received is exactly what is represented in this group buy.

First of all, the linux binary listed above does not run on any of my machines.

So, I pull the source code for the modified version of cgminer from https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer and the fun begins.

The first issue I find is a pretty big one.  The AntMiner U1 USB stick uses the same usb signature as an erupter.  This does not need to be an issue but as it is right now, it is not possible to compile cgminer to support BOTH an AntMiner U1 USB and and a block erupter usb with the same instance of cgminer.  Older versions of cgminer and bfgminer think it is a block erupter usb and does weird things with it.

Then, once configuring for the "bmsc" driver I run into some rather nasty compiler warnings.  one is true where the code copies 5 bytes into a 4 byte storage which immediately crashes the program.  The crash was disguised in a code update between yesterday and today as the device is no longer addressed so the broken code is never executed.  I will spend a bit more time playing with this later but right now it appears to be a windows only solution.

Ok, going back to the windows binary only release, the device is reported as "AMU", same as a block erupter USB.  Not nice.  It should have its own name.  Furthermore the stock "miner.php" script does not enumerate the AntMiner sticks.

So ... it is only a matter of software.  The stick I have is hashing at 1.55 Gh/s on windows xp running stock.  Now to overclock the sucka..

Thanks, I got mine in today, too!

Edit:  Never mind - I actually ran them in a stock bfgminer and it thought they were ASICMiner Block Erupters.  That gave me some strange numbers like erupters on steroids but not as high as the U1 is supposed to be, but then when I tried again on the machine that was running the cgminer from Bitmain, it WORKED.  So, they're hashing away and seem to be right on spec for stock speeds.  I briefly tried at 250 MHz and that worked for all but one that was running slower (I have 4 now), but I won't run for long until I know how they behave stock - and once I get a fan in place.

Still, I'll be very happy once support for the U1 gets merged into regular bfgminer or cgminer.

Thanks again!

Good idea; It finally went through.

Arrived this afternoon.  After a little fiddling with USB drivers, it's up and running.  Still getting strange error messages, but I assume that's a conflict between the custom cgminer and the other USB miners on this PC.  It's running on stock settings; no overclock or tweaking.  Very happy with iluvpcs' service.  Will order more, in anticipation of dissecting this one.

Just wait, it might get processed after 6-10-12 hours, I've had that happen before myself.  I've also tried to doublespend it again with a fee, and it seems when I do that they both go through a few minutes later.

Don't use the standard CGMINER or BFGMINER yet, they need code updates for these U1's, use this CGMINER for now https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1 and Lajz99 started a thread yesterday for these  

Is there a setup or support thread for these. They are being recognized the same way my Block Erupters were, but when running CGMiner 9.0 I am being told I need to install a WinUSB driver for - AMU Device.

I'd like 3.

paid 0.16 for two units and sent PM
