Antminer U1 Review

Antminer U1

I managed to find a used Antminer U1 floating around in the area and said, “what the hell, why not!?”, and bought it. Well it was super easy to setup and I am chugging along at 2Gh right now on a mining pool. I am not sure I am going to meet ROI on it, but we shall see what it does this week. I found a good site with instructions on how to set it up and it was as simple as plugging it in the USB slot and hitting go! The link to that site is here…

Here is the link to the mining pool I am using. I am just mining BTC only, but you can set it up to mine whatever the pool mines…

I will update in a week to see how much BTC I made, if any…

Bitcoin/Litecoin Mining

I decided to create a couple of pages on my experiences mining Bitcoin/Litecoin and some information of my mining setup as well. The links are on the right side under the 'pages' menu.

Also, I just remembered I didn't mention where you can get some basic mining parts here on the island. While I haven't searched super extensively here, the Goodwill stores, the one off the Hwy 58 near Kadena and in Naha, have all the basic 12v power adapters. For example, PCIe 6-pin to Molex or SATA power split connectors, and every other configuration you might need. This will allow you to use every 12v power connection from your power supplies. They also have a wide-range of PSUs, video cards, and motherboards. I am sure you can find this stuff online a little cheaper, but once you factor in the shipping/taxes, and the "now" factor, in most cases you are better off getting that stuff at their stores. The only thing I can't find on the island though is PCIe x1 to x16 cables or adapters. I am guessing there might be a specialty shop on this island somewhere that might have them, but I can't find anything. If anyone knows where I can find these things here, please let me know!

Here is the link to the Goodwill's website...
