Had a few snags with network config, but finally got it mining on Multipool.us. Super exciting. Then I hooked my 2 Gridseed back up and BOOM!! Dead power supply. I guess all together, those things draw more than a kilowatt. Damn. Guess I&#8217;ll have scavenge another p\/s.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I really like the Antminer. I didn&#8217;t realize that it has a very basic embedded Linux on it, which allows for a nice web interface. I noticed that it uses cgminer which is installed on it by default. Initially, I couldn&#8217;t find it on my network, but that could have been my fault. I ended up just resetting it to factory defaults just to be sure its address was 192.168.1.99, then I was able to figure it out. I got the IP changed to match my network, got the gateway and DNS set, and it was off mining. When it first started going, I had my 2 Gridseeds running on the same power supply and it got overloaded and shutdown. Then, like an idiot, I got the Antminer going again and plugged in the Gridseeds one at a time (4 blades). Then it was going, going&#8230;. Boom! Dammit.<\/p>\n<p>Well, lesson learned I guess. I&#8217;ll have to either find a new power supply or repair this one. I didn&#8217;t see any scorch marks or clearly exploded capacitors, so I&#8217;m unsure what it could be. Oh well. Live and learn.<\/p>\n<p>Next project (after fixing this one) is getting my new server up and running mining Zcash!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got my new Antminer S3+ hooked up and working last night.
