Topic: [PAUSED] batch #40 .053 per AntMiner U1 USB 1.6Gh/s+ up to 2.2 (Read 11261 times)

Hi Canary! Any idea when you'll be back in stock?

SOLD OUT. Group is Paused.

Ordered 50 + USB hub. I hope the last one is still available.

Submitted 3 orders. Thanks Canary!

shipped out. thanks!!

Emailed a 5 pack order. Thanks Canary!

such a great offer... too bad you are not in EU 

there's just one 50 U1+ free hub promo left.

Shipped out. thanks!!

Put me down for another 50 & hub. Email sent.

Thanks!

Shipping.  Thank you!

Just emailed an order for 50 + a hub. Thanks!

pmed

delivery time depends on the kind of shipping service you choose.  PM me your full address.

ok if i take 5 now how much cost incluse shipping to italy, which kind of shipping and how many time to arrive home?

as long as the hub is able to provide adequate power to each port, it should work great.  there's a link to a thread about USB hubs on the OP too.  Thanks!

hi if i take 5 u1 can i insert all together in one hub and connect to my laptop.
could has issues like power usb?
 

If ordering a single unit, you can use First Class Mail label if you would prefer that method for cost savings over priority mail for a single U1.
Total weight is under 2 oz in a padded yellow envelope.

shipping out in first round, thanks!

Email sent, maybe I got it right this first round, but doubtful.

first USPS drop off in couple hours

all orders packed and shipping out.

Placed an order!

shipped out.  thanks!!

I guess you talked me into another 50   I didn't realize how sweet that hub is.  Fired up an old psu and hashing away in 5 minutes.

heading to USPS in about an hour for the first drop off today

Got a few PMs asking whether promo Hubs are available still.  Yes they are.

all orders up to now will get dropped off tomorrow when USPS is re-opened

PROMO: order 50 U1s and get a free 49 port hub.  While supplies last.  this is not for cumulative orders.  to get this promo you need to order 50 at a time.

-edit:  50 U1s and a hub fit into a medium box

U1s have been delivered to me.  ready to ship out to you. thanks!

edit: color is black

arrived at a local UPS hub and ready for delivery to me tomorrow

Monday is MLK.  The folks at Post Office reminded me today that they are closed on Monday.
So, I will be dropping off your packaged orders Tuesday morning.

My tracking numbers for U1s are showing them arriving in Japan, on their way to US, on time for Monday's arrival.

Those who wish to use FedEx or UPS for shipping out Monday, can email me such labels.

.055 is a good price .  I can get 35 of these to run on my 49 port hub at the 2.0 overclock setting  70gh at under 120 watts at my psu's plug in the k-a-watt meter.

They run cooler then the old AM sticks.  basically less power for 6x the hash. I may order some on tues. I need to sell some of mine on ebay this weekend.

.055 per U1

Got my first two sticks yesterday afternoon and they have been happily hashing away at ~1.58GH/each ever since. Always a pleasure doing business with Canary.

+1 the question regarding current price BTW. Need to double my Ant capacity

What is the new price?

Taking orders again.  inventory expected on Monday, have tracking numbers.

sold out batch#38.  waiting for more U1s to arrive. will re-open when tracking shows that it's a few days out from me receiving them.
will have a new, better price.

I have 20 U1s left. I'll match the .06 price. first come, first serve.

shipped out today's orders

Got mine and Canary was extremely helpful with the shipping (cause I'm such a dam n00b) and delivery.

Thanks!  Will be sure to watch for stuff from you again.

ig

You're welcome!

Just placed another order. Email sent. Thanks Canary!

You're welcome!!!

orders shipped out earlier today.  next shipping is Monday AM.

got my 3 yesterday, was a drop in replacement for my old sticks, with the new bfgminer. Running at 2.0 per stick with out any issues.

Great job Canary I will buy from you again..

I have ordered 6 U1's from Canary.

Each has shipped within 24 hours, most within 12 hours and one within a few.

Canary is very responsive by email.

It is also very professional that Canary uses the signing of the tracking number to avoid fraud.

I appreciate it!

 first off 2.2 ran like shit.

 2.0 was very stable seems to be the sweet spot

I just setup 1.8  and looks like the watts dropped from 112 to 110  give me time to double check it. saving 2 watts and losing gh is not worth it.

 I ran 68.7gh at 112 watts for 1 week in a row. 37 sticks at 2gh with a zombie that would come and go.

I will post  on same 37 sticks and 1.8gh it has been running for 25 minutes

After 1.5 hours 37 sticks at 1.8 = 62 gh  and 109 watts

 I will run for a day but as of now 2.0 setting is better then 1.8 setting

68 gh/ 112 watts vs 62 gh/109 watts

the ant chips are in a cube like device.

 the s-1 is a lot like a cube.

  http://www.ebay.com/itm/AntMiner-S1-Dual-Blades-180-GH-ASIC-Bitcoin-Miner-IN-HAND-SHIP-NOW-Hot-Sale-New-/151202783114?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2334635f8a


   I would like a 10 chip device at a good price that  runs off usb.
 16gh to 20gh hashrate  240 to 300 dollar price range.

   you can add up to 20 per pc.  This allows the little guy to grow hash power and be a repeat customer. Adding a cube at 600 bucks is a big buy adding an s-1 at 4000 is a huge buy.  adding a 20gh unit for 240-300 many smaller miners will do it once a month.

Thanks for the info, guys.

It seems an Ant OC'd to 2.0 GH/s theoretically maxes out a USB 2.0 port (.5A = 2.5W); 2.2 GH/s would be pushing it then.

When I benchmarked the USB BEs last year, I came up with a 3WAC draw (at the wall) at around 85% efficiency.  Therefore, in perspective, a USB BE and a 2 GH/s Ant have similar power draw but the latter hashes about six times more.  Not bad at all.

So, when are they gonna slap these Ant chips on to the mini blades in a Cube.  That would result in geek orgasm.  That's almost 200 GH/s in a Cube package.

back on my other pc.  judypug1956 is me.  I have a few backup ids.

I will do a 37 stick setup and use 0881 instead of 0981 couri

I am philipma1957's other id on this site. this pc is setup with this account as a backup.

37 sticks at 2 gh on a 49 port hub pull 112-115 watts  using a seasonic 750 plat power supply   so the worst case is 3.11 watts a stick.

 it is lower then that  as I have 2 thermal take fans plugged in   and that number is at the plug not at the stick.   give me a minute  I will turn off the 2 fans, and measure again.  with the fans off 37 sticks at 2 gh giving me 68.7  gh pull 112 watts.

           this means   112 /37 = 3.02 watts a stick at the plug in the k watt meter.  the draw on the port  is less since the most efficient that plat power supply is 90 percent so 3.02 x .90 =  2.72 watts at the port   maybe more like  2.57 watts since the psu may be 85% efficient with the 5 volt only load.  

 so 2.5- 2.7 at the usb port and 3.1 at the  plug in the wall  for 1 stick at 2 gh clock.

I will do more at 1.8 1.6 and 1.4 over the weekend.  for now these sticks are fine to over clock .

  since they turn a profit at 20 cents a   k-watt   until difficulty reaches 40,000 mill.  but down the road  when diff is 40,000 mill  maybe running them at 1.4gh  would really drop power use a lot.

chip data sheet has some info onpg. 3: https://github.com/AntMiner/AntGen1/blob/master/datasheet/BM1380_Datasheet.pdf
but someone probably has the values, philipma1957 ?

Does anybody know the actual wattage of each Ant at the USB port (or at the wall) at the following hash rates?

1. default @ 1.6 GH/s
2. OC'd to 1.8 GH/s
3. OC'd to 2.0 GH/s
4. OC'd to 2.2 GH/s

shipped out earlier today. enjoy!!

Just ordered a few up, as always thanks Canary for providing a great service!

you might be able to pick it up tomorrow.  can you stop at your post office today with the tracking number and ask for post master. ask him to see about holding it for you to pickup instead...

So p**d at the Post Office right now...delivery scheduled for TOMORROW at my job where I sent them!  Good ol uncle Sam just cost me 72hrs of hashing...lol

I am thinking of getting a dozen usb 2.0 4gb size sticks and coping my working ant miner folder to them. it would allow 3 start.bat files in cgminer  one at 1.6 gh then 1.8 gh and lastly 1 at 2.0gh  I have to decide how practical this idea is.  I am building a new windows 7 pc from the beginning this weekend.  I will use a test usb stick to see how easy it makes setup.  I can't push how big of an improvement these are over the old  AM sticks. 2.0 vs .333 and about 15% less power for each stick.

  these sticks will run at a diff of 30,000 mill  or 20x the current diff and still earn more then the power they use if you are under 20 cents a k watt and if BTC is 800 usd or more.

http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator

I have a 49 port hub with 37 sticks giving me 69 gh at 112 watts   . while they won't earn a lot they are still in the black power wise at a diff of 42000 mill according to the calc above

I think so, the post at the link has a "Tested on Windows, OS X, and Raspberry Pi (using MinePeon)" line in it... so I assume it does?

Will that also apply to Minepeon also? It uses BFGminer under the hood, but I think it's an old version...

bfgminer support has been added and is available to test : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4404188

you can mix ASICMiner Erupter USB miners and AntMiner's U1s.

making my first USPS drop off in 30 mins.

You think there's an ATX PSU out there that could power all 49 OC'ed?

I had some pm's from someone a while back he was running just what you describe.  he was not able to get one that fully powered the hubs.  meanwell made them   and they ran out of  gas  at 25 hubs.  I have a link


 http://www.amazon.com/Meanwell-NES-200-5-Power-Supply-Signs/dp/B00HNK984O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389206990&sr=8-1&keywords=meanwell+5v

the one below ran the closest to its rating.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mean-Well-130W-AC-DC-Long-Life-Single-Output-Switching-Power-Supply-RS-150-5-/380688863068?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a2d30f5c


this one did around 30 sticks.

I read something about  120gh the max on 1 program it is in the antminer notes  if that is the case 2 49 port hubs with 30 sticks each would be the max for your pc.

 

what do you think about using a 5V non ATX PSU wired into an ATX plug? For the life of me, I can't remember it's name or model number... but they look like HP server power supplies but with terminals.  Also they are not expensive as compared to ATX PSUs.  I think they can also deliver 30/40/50+ amps on 5V?  or would it not work due to USB 2.0 hub limitations?

well 37 out of 49 on the 49 port hubs. these sticks use less power then the old asic miner sticks. I can do a 2 gh over clock with ease. very stable number.

going to 2.2gh is a bit less stable I can do 11 sticks on a pair of 10 port usb 3.0 hubs.   these same hubs will do 18 sticks at 2.0 gh

 So I am thinking the sweet spot is the 2.0 over clock .  I am going to bank a little coin for a week or so and then get 20  more from canary

Today's orders have shipped out.  Thanks!!

I'm pretty sure they are.  as long as the hub can power each port adequately it should have no issues.

Here's a good list of tested hubs: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/which-usb-hub-to-use-with-block-erupters-nanofury-nf1-bpmc-red-fury-ant-u1-253749

Interested in this... Anyone running a full hub with these yet?

Thanks for the input, guys.

I just want to say thank you Canary.

You have truly remarkable service. I've been purchasing from you for 6 month and I never, I'd like to put an emphasis on it - NEVER had any issues. You are incredible solid vendor, being honest and upfront with your customers. There is a very few vendors I can make that statement about.
Today I gave you a tip for a first time. I feel great about that.

Thank you!

shipping out orders up to now... any orders placed today before 5 PM CST, should go out today as well.
Thanks!

yea i thought so....    now if they put those 1.6ghs chips in the cubes.....  they might have something!

Ya, Im pretty sure Antminer is Asicminer

do these come in different colors also?

TY

they have a red light that stays on and a small blinking green light

do these have a blinking light like the asicminer ones did?     

no you can run cgminer and run bfgminer at the same time.  In fact as I type I am running 1 version of cgminer for LTC 1 version for the antminer sticks and 1 version of bfgminer for ice fury= kind of like a blue fury.


 Do your self a favor sell all your .333gh asic miner sticks on ebay today.  then use the money to buy these sticks..  I am running 36 sticks on a 49 port hub with a simple overclock to 2.gh  I get 72gh and use less power then 36 am sticks that you have.  and 36 am sticks would only hash 12gh.  get rid of them before people figure out they are terrible compared to these sticks.

I would sell your AMs you can get $30 a piece for them and use those slots for Antminer U1's. Your going to get with no problem close to 2.0 GH/s. That's about 6 AM BE's.  Selling 3 BEs you should get about $90 on eBay you can turn around with that $90 and buy 1 U1.  1GH/s vs 2GH/s and 2 freed USB slots.

If you take a look at 10 I have running currently you will see how much more efficient use of your usb slots. Hell, your probably close to what you get with a unmodified Blue Fury at WAY less cost!
I just took this screenshot its been running a little more then 24 hrs

My current setup comprises a variety of miners (AM USB miner arrays, Blue Furies, BFL Single SC and Cubes) that are all mining off of BFGMiner.  I have never used CGMiner before.  If I get these AntMiner U1s at this point in time, will CGMiner and Zadig (I have no idea what it is or what it is for) conflict with my current setup?  It seems that the CGMiner setup is more complicated.  Should I just postpone my puchase and wait until BFGMiner supports them?

an order of 100 USBs gets a free 49 port hub. see OP for fine print.

Glad to see you stocking these now!  Will you also be selling the Antmindr S1?

Should have native support in.
Bfgminer
Cgminer
Bitminter
Minepeon

Soon.

bfgminer support is being worked on by Luke-Jr.  no estimate on his schedule just yet.

however, they work nicely with the cgminer build linked on the OP.  there's also a thread "U1 tips and tricks" that is very useful.

yes, they very much remind me of ASICMiner's Erupter USBs all the way down to the edge cut on the heatsink.

Does it work with bfgminer?

first order shipping out in 30 mins.

 to canary these sticks are really good.

 BTW they are the exact same size as an asic miner stick.  the plastic case is nicer.  

they clock to 2.0 with ease really stable.  

I will order some soon.   I have around 40 left from the 105 that i purchased from other sellers.

It is good to see you have these in stock.

this thread has lots of info on setup

We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.



HEH figures.  I will be back and ordering when this inconvenience is more convenient.

OK - I'll check how to create a label - & get back to you via PM.

Thank you!  

if you can email me a label, I'll drop it off at post office.  but i'm not doing international labels myself... sorry.

no international shipping?   

Thanks!

Good luck selling Canary. They are great devices.

1-127 units: Priority Large Flat rate box.
1-55   units: Region A box (for better shipping rates)  each unit is 1.105 oz. so multiply by number of miners. example: for 55: 55*1.105 = 60.775 oz or 3 lbs and 13 ounces.

--------------------------
If you are a re-seller on eBay or other outlets, I can handle your shipping.
- you sell
- you pay me
- send me the appropriate label (pdf) you generate for your sold order.
- I ship from zip 60181
- sit back and relax... don't bother shipping yourself.

HOW TO SIGN A MESSAGE TO ME (YOUR SHIPPING INFO): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2291965 Please NOTE: the above example is NOT the same as sending a signed message with your transaction. If you are new to this (aka noob), please read this so that you understand what to do.  This is the single most problematic step in the ordering process.  Here's how to sign a message with a blockchain.info wallet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/help-how-do-i-sign-a-message-using-my-blockchaininfo-address-180068 Please verify the signed message yourself before you send it to me

Common Questions:
When will I receive my order? Answer: I ship out the same day I receive your payment as long as your order is verified before I head out to drop off packages at USPS/FedEx.

Can you confirm my order? Answer:  you can confirm your own order by looking up the transaction id of your payment.  if it shows confirmations >=1, this is your confirmation that your funds were received.  This is what I would do to "confirm" your order.  Bitcoin is designed in a way to allow you to confirm and see what you've done.

Please Note:
Only send payments from an address you control (i.e. you can sign with it). If you send from MtGox or other exchanges, you risk loosing your funds since you can't prove you sent them. Please send from a wallet you can sign a message with.  You will send your shipping address via this method.

Policy update:
Refunds: Your orders are binding after your funds have been received and verified.  I do not accept returns or issue refunds once your order has shipped.  If you sent payment but have not emailed me your label and the signed message, you can ask for a refund.  Refund processing takes a significant amount of time and should not be expected instantly.  Transaction fee will be deducted from total amount refunded.

Warranty
90 days. per manufacturer, overclocking voids the warranty.

Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor.
