hopefully the hardest part is setting a laptop/netbook/whatever to the right subnet the miner is on so ya can get in. Or - since the RasPi has HMDI out and we see USB ports - maybe just takes a kybd & mouse like security vid recorders do? Now THAT would be nice. Truly stand-alone
could you install team viewer on the pi? app on the phone, run it that way.

There is a manual and instructions on AMTs website, but I guess you need a password they send with your miner. I need the info myself to test the miner.
THAT SECTION IS IN DEVELOPMENT. NO USER HAS ACCES TO THE INFORMATION AS OF YET. I JUST HOPE THERE IS AN INSTRUCTION BOOK IN THE BOX :-p IF NOT A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF SETUP AND USE SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE. IF I CAN FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF. SOMETHING AS A COMUNITY WE SHOULD BE DOING IS SHARING WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED. SO FAR NO WILD AMT MINERS WANT TO BE FILMED

sorry 4 caps been playing arma 3, didnt notice till it was too late

If they are anything like the ones for Ants...  Roll Eyes Also only gotten on-line but free for all. Needlessly wordy and sorely lacking proper procedure and critical info. Like LAN menu is for the asic router - do not touch. WAN is where ya setup the 'net IP...

1st Ant I did took me 45min to figure things out. Now only takes maybe 5min including the reboot. Here's to hoping AMT did a better job on what should be a very simple procedure!

Do these have a web interface aside from an IP setup, and pool/password menus? Would be nice. (Ants do). All kinds of info including network traffic is available. Also allows for all the usual 'ux type shells, system maint., & other goodies.

The goal is to get an overall picture of how it performs. The good part is I will have two so I can easily do an apples to apples comparison doing the same exact tests. That is a decent enough sample to get some consistent results. But because I will be running the tests from my residence on a dedicated 20a circuit I will only be able to do one at a time. But the idea is to get actual/average wattage under low,normal and turbo usage. Casey reported 1.5Ths. I am already working on the setup I will be using to monitor the whole thing as well. The idea is to get a 24-48 hour test on each machine. This will give me the most consistent results.

5 minutes is not enough. Fact is they really need to have some time to "warm up" and get to their optimal speeds. At least that's the idea. Either way I just want to get a consistent test over a period of time. Might start with a 1h-6h-12h-24h-48h results. This way it can be seen how they perform over a period of time. Working on how to best output those results.    

FYI that also means all the other stats that go with a miner, hardware errors, rejections, etc. The idea is as much data to parse.

Well I finally got a reply. They will be shipping my miners at the end of the week. I will be posting an in-depth review on them once I get them. Seeing as they use a rasberryPI I will be easily able to query resource usage and power output as well, anyone know what linux distro AMT is running on the miners? Not that it matters BUT if I can install a single tool to monitor power usage it would go a long way towards getting repeatable consistent results from the OS itself. Powerstat is the tool I would be using as part of my test suite to measure power.

Maybe with some work we can squeeze out some more juice if the right tweaks are in place. But for the moment I think just getting the hardware and measuring its baseline performance is the first step.

Invest in one of these...http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.html


Yea got one of those too. Its part of my testing suite. I just want to see if the OS reports the same general information. Consistency and repeatability is the goal here which the killawatt can do on its own too BUT having a second internalized tool I can refer to later on can help too. I will set it up in my office for now as I cleared the circuit for a single unit temporarily until I get it housed in the colo. I just wanted to get a review out on it.

I will do a written review with alot of detail and data. Prepared the format already just gotta start setting it up. Figure this will be important for benchmarks and such. Might post it in a separate thread tho. It will get lost in here.
One biggie benchmark should definitely be HW error rate on them both raw and calc'd per the usual format,  Error % = HW/(diffA+DiffR+HW)*100

The worst of my S1's over the past 4 days stands at 0.0000019768% error rate. My best one adds several more zeros in there... Raw HW counts: worst 36,438, best Ant a mear 526. Again that is over the past 4d 17h 23m 40s. Frickin' outstanding!

My only comparison is my 2 10ghs Jala's. One holds @ 0.37% the other @ 6.7% calc's error rate...

Bet they are running Arch and possibly OpenWrt if there is an internal router for feeding the ASICS. The miner prog itself should be CGminer. Just a guess but that is how Ants do it. Should be able to just ssh or PuTTY the IP address to get in.

That's the only power rating that matters, at the wall. But I don't recommend leaving the kill-a-watt plugged in full time. They don't last long run 24/7 with high wattage draws.

Really? I've been running mine 1200W for a long time on a litecoin rig. Hmm,...

4k? Man don't you think I been hit hard enough already?

Best of luck getting 6K. 4K is a very decent offer considering all the other available A1 miners in that price range.

"All the others"... 1.2THs... That are real...

I see a few 1.0THs miners, that are OC'ed to get 1.0THs selling for $6-$7K. I don't see any $4K 1.2THs miners.
(That are being shipped, or not obvious scams.)

Coincraft Desk 1.0THs: $5,679.00 (Beginning of May) + VAT
Coincraft Rig 1.25THs: $7,999.00 (End of April) + VAT

DragonMiner 1.0THs: $3,990.00 (One unit in stock) PSU won't deliver 1.0GHs, maybe 900GHs + Import taxes
MintForge 1.0THs: $3,999.00 (? in stock) {Power supply is included (970w operation)} + Import taxes
China Delivery: May or may-not ever get to you, in 3-12 weeks.
(Ebay can confirm those delivery possibilities as facts, as well as all the AVALON threads. China: Refunds... Hahahahaha, yea right! China: Guarantee: Hahahahaha One month of operation, before they change names again, and run, as units start to die. "Buy now, before it is all be going!")

AMT 1.2THs: $5,599.00 (By the way things are turning around now, April/May delivery.)* {My estimate, not AMT's}
Still the best value, at any rate. In the USA.

I will get a full working AMT 1.2T in a day or two. I am thinking about reselling it for 6k worth of BTC. I am in North NJ and available for meetup. This would be a good deal being that they sell for 15k on ebay right now.  There is nothing wrong with it, it has the power supply and may even have the 6 board backplane, I don't know. I just have bigger fish to fry at this time...

4/09/2014  -  Wednesday 1:25 am
Arrived at FedEx location
NEWARK, NJ

4/08/2014  -  Tuesday
8:55 pm Left FedEx origin facility
BRISTOL, PA


5:05 pm Picked up

I can give you 4k cash for it next week. I'll be in NJ next thursday .
Huh give me your number
