The AntMiner S2 comes with built-in software that is managed through a web interface. No extra computer is required for operation.

Fast anwer = plug the miner into the router, plug laptop into router, enter IP address on the outside of the miner into the URL of a browser. That will give you access to the CGminer page.If your router's subnet does not match that of the miner, you will need to change it to .3 or .1Your ISP or manufacturer of your router will be able to assist with that, if you have never attempted that before. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. I hope this helps! If not, write me and we will help you get your miner connected!

Storage Spaces is not friendly if you have any disk errors in the future. I'd go with StableBit DrivePool myself. That's what I ordered this card for.

The included software works, but is not very good. Other free options for Windows are ThermoHID and Utac. I ran Utac for a year or two, then found ThermoHID fit my needs better, and is a bit more stable.

Yes, it can be used for any type of coin mining (solo or pooled) that utilizes the SHA-256 hashing algorithm (e.g. Bitcoin). There are other coins that you can also use this to mine for, as well.

No. This is exclusively designed for SHA256 based mining. The hardware can't process SCRYPT based coins

Check out the Gigampz breakout board it is specifically made to work with this supply and bitcoin mining. You can get one from Gigampz.com.

It does run as a stand alone, but will require a computer to set up first. I use MultiMiner for other miners, but it will display the S1's status. As far as noise level, I bought replacement fans that were higher flow and low noise. I'm overclocking mine so I use two fans. One fan should be fine if you're not overclocking yours.

I don't see why not. Most miners work happily together. Mind you that this one has a big cooler, though, and might take two USB ports, if the ports are too close to each other.

Not at all, I have an old laptop that runs BFG miner. You will be able to even game if you want while running these.

I am not aware of any. I only use this for my investments, not for banking, etc. or I would be happy to help you.

Right now I'm mineing with Eligius (a mining pool) and getting .0028 BTC/Day with a 200GH/s rig. That number will change depending on the network difficulty. While I've been mining the difficulty has only went up. Here is a neat calculator: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator .Also this things network card is also an SSH server. I've been using it as a bojanked vpn server when I'm web surfing at Tim Hortons.

I do not know, but the miner is working perfect. I never ask about the warranty. I would buy a next one from this supplier anytime and would give him a five star in comparison to what I got from Ebay. THE Machine I bought from EBAY came in shambles and all the blades on top one another the bracket to hold the blades was bent out of shape with no screws. The EBAY machine came half open screws missing on one side of the cove. The cover to hold the blades only had two screws on one side , 5 capacitors on the bottom of the miner and all kinds of problem like it went to the moon and back. That was a five star seller at ebay. Would buy again from this AMAZON seller any time. I do not know, but the miner is working perfect. I never ask about the warranty.

You can only mine sha 256 with this unit. Script requires another algorithm and is not compatible with this ASIC.
