He has a modified s-7

this is it

Antminer S7-LN 2.3Th/s (sidehack mod)

It is a good way to get started in mining.


Good luck.

i want to know how i can start like i am newbie in this.

i want to know about cloud mining on a website and cloud mining at home.

if i have to invest in cloud mining then which is the best website for cloud mining where i can get maximum profit like antpool gives maximum profit but its in chinese and i came to know we cannot invest on that website without buying antminer machine. Is it true ? please confirm.

next if i buy antminer s-7 how do i install in my computer machine and what i have to do exactly just keep my computer turned on and run software or what exactly i have to do ? after i install antminer s-7 do i need to connect to antpool or what ?

i am so confused i know few things about cloud mining and i want full details, can please someone shed light for newbies so they can get answer from this thread too like i will get it after i reply this thread maybe.

Don't fall for cloudmining, 99% of those companies are plain scams, the other 1% lets you carry all the risks for a small portion of the rewards.... Doesn't sound like a good deal to me ;)

You're overthinking it about the S7's installation. The S7 has some sort of raspberry-pi attached to the machine, so you don't need an external computer. Everything is pre-installed, it's kind of plug-and-play... Just plug in your PSU, plug in the ATP cable (networkcable), surf to the web GUI from your PC, enter the details your pool shows you (the stratum+rpc server, port, username, password), then just let the ASIC hash...

Before even thinking about buying an antminer, answer philipma1957's question tough!!! IS you power cheap????

power is cheap but how much i will earn and what is the way ? i purchased antminer and installed in my machine then what next ? what i have to do ?

do i need to buy bitcoins or just the machine earns money for me without investing a bitcoin.

Okay  are you using a translator to speak with us?

It seems you are.

Cheap power has no meaning to me.

As cheap could mean 10 cents a k-watt to some one

How much is a kwatt for you?

1, 2 , 3 or 4 cents  you are in good shape.

5,6,7,8 you should make a profit

9,10,11,12 cents you have some risk

13 or more cents it will be hard to profit.

So before I give you lots of advice  what is your power cost?

If you are 1,2,3,4  buy the modified s-7 I linked to you.

If you are 5,6,7,8  buy an s-9 directly from bitmain

If you are 9 or more cents

go to hashnest.com  and buy  some s-9 cloud mining

i am unable to understand how mine clouding happens self hosted one ?

can you tell me in the story mode how self hosted cloud mining happens step by step using what methods.

i am not using any translators i am so much confused.
