Simmer down guys.
I ordered an open box S4+ from EvBitcoinFan and received it on Tuesday, very quick shipping. It's mining perfectly since I received it. I used ognasty for escrow.
Ev had some issues with his account being hacked, give him time to get things sorted out. He's very trust worthy in my opinion. Patience is a virtue.

If you have no insulation I would not run a miner for anything. I live in a farm house over 100 years old, it has went through a few redoing of electricity wiring to make it safe. There have been at least 2 huge jobs or 3 depending on if you count when a new addition was added. You can get a receptacle tester to will show some common wiring problems: http://www.amazon.com/GE-3-Wire-Receptacle-Tester-50542/dp/B002LZTKIA/ If you don't pass this I would not mine. I won't get anymore off topic if you don't know your wiring and are on 110 hire a electrician to be safe when dealing with amount of watts such as S4+. As it was designed for 220/240 and that assumes proper wiring. To keep it on topic, the S4+ won't even power up on 110V, so the entire discussion is pretty much rendered useless  . You need to throw these onto a 240V circuit, which as I mentioned earlier in the thread pretty much eliminates the vast majority of typical US households... unless you convince your better half to allow you to throw out the electric dryer and range in lieu of mining equipment  Or have an additional dedicated mining circuit wired up, which a lot of people do. Yea i dont know about a lot of people but they are right why make something that requires a 240V. On top of that the price is ridiculous if you have to upgrade and dedicate a whole circuit to a miner that costs even more. When do you start to see an investment on your return is the whole point of this game.What i dont understand is why wont it fire up on 120v if the circuit has enough to power for the miner. Is there a biult-in kill switch which requires 240v for override. (120v @ 20amp = 3800 watts) Enough juice for two miners Seems like this one is going to end up in there mine. I don't know how you figured 120 * 20 = 3800, but it doesn't. 120 * 20 = 2400 * 0.80 = 1920w usable. Most people will not have 20A circuits, 15A is the standard: 120 * 15 = 1800 * 0.80 = 1440w usable. You need 240V for these large machines. No getting around it. 240V is much easier on a PSU vs 120V. Why the hell would anyone want to mine on 120V anyways? Takes 30 minutes to make a 240V circuit, less if you're converting an existing 120V line to 240V. Mining on 120V is for plebs. |

Not a scam. I ordered one last month, Taiwan to Canada in 2 days. Great service!

Thanks for the link but I don't agree with most of it. Point number one for example, it says men are involved in fewer crashes than women per mile driven. Well that's true but only because women tend to swerve and crash to avoid hitting people/animals. You guys being " strong men" just seem to keep driving no matter what gets in your way. Find the statistics on number of people and animals killed by men drivers vs women drivers and you'll see we kill far less than you :p That's complete bullshit. Don't try to drive into people/animals in the first place. Well if a cute raccoon is crossing the road right in front of you, what do you do? Be honest. I know what I would do. Poor thing. What a complete load of horse shit. So you're one of these idiots, eh? http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/father-daughter-killed-because-woman-stopped-car-to-help-ducks-prosecutor-alleges-1.1850997Causing accidents to save animals... Great fucking idea. |

Is it just me, or is this thread shrinking? Could've sworn I saw it at 646 and 645 pages. Now it's at 644.

Has anyone here ever found a block while renting from Nice/Westhash? Every success story seems to use MRR?
The one before last block found was using Nicehash and he got it just at the end of his rental :-) "fredi" biggest hash powers on mrr are rented from west/Nicehash only to gain profit west/Nicehash average 0.0097 BTC/TH/Day mrr bighash: 0.01990 BTC/TH/Day ★After payment, the rig will start automatically ★If you find that the rig does not work,probably because of the difficulty of your pool is too low, please change the difficulty of the pool ★If you find the rig failure, please do not worry, after the rig recovery, I will increase the speed of the rig to compensate your losses, when the lease ends, the "Average Hashrate" will reach more than 95% ★Any unexpected losses,will be compensated ★Have any questions, please leave a message, the staff will get back to you do the math.. This isn't true. I rented one of their big rigs once and had a pretty long discussion with the owner. He runs his own hardware in China. Nicehash has nothing to do with those rigs on MRR. |

You guys realize that if you're using anything newer than the Oct. 16th firmware you don't have voltage control, right? Bitmain disabled it starting with Jan. 29th firmware.

Good luck to everyone gambling right now. I've been on and off without a block since ~December. After about 15BTC of rentals, my best share ever was ~22 billion.

A quick thank you to nicehash…. They have done what I think is a fair compromise. they reduced the protective floor from unlimited to 1000th. Thank you for an effort to met in the middle.
The new way notice the 1000th limit which:
A) affords somewhat of a safety net for people renting to nicehash and are too busy to check prices.
B) still allows for watchful people renting from nicehash to grab a bargain.
Thanks again. Many pools and or services are: " fuck you blow me bitch "
I really like that you did a compromise. I will continue to use your services.
Notice my orders in blue can now fit under the floor set.
Yes, that's correct, we'll try to balance the system to benefit both miners and sellers, so that arbitrage order will always be just a percentage of all available hashing power (not bound to 1 PH, might be less or more, in dependence of total hashing power available). Thank you for you feedback and @Prelude don't forget that buying prices at MRR are at least 20-30% higher than the cheapest hashing power at NiceHash/WestHash . Keep on hashing The 20-30% premium is acceptable when you consider the advantages and additional features MRR brings. That's not a knock on nicehash, which I think is a great service too. |

Eh, I still see this the same way I see governmental meddling. 1PH floor is better than unlimited, sure, but you're still being forced to pay more than you would without their floor. You're losing out on money and shares, shares which could potentially find a block.
I understand what NH's intention is, but personally I say keep your fingers out of the pot. I think most users will agree. I wouldn't be surprised to see a competitor to nicehash's business model pop up if this floor stays.
Also, if nicehash wants to use power for themselves, that's fine. They should play by the same rules as everyone else, though. They get a 2% discount to start with, anyways.

I normally don't double post but look at this page my orders are in blue.
The mystery order is just under my orders.
So if I want to drop to 0.0096 this will kill my hash
So what is order #374774?
Hi, Phil. This is no mystery order, take a look at the bottom of the orders list: there is a link to FAQ with explanation. We marked it explicitly since we want to provide absolutely transparent service. Additional information: As you know, NiceHash/WestHash doesn't have it's own hashing power, it completely relies on hashing power sellers. And of course, sellers are not interested in selling hashing power below a certain level of profitability (currently -8%) - we've received several feedback from miners with these concerns. Therefore to sustain a long-term relationship with miners (sellers) we have to provide them at least a decent sustainable price. Otherwise miners (sellers) will go away and there will be no hash to buy whatsoever, or when hash power will be too small prices will go higher. Hopefully you understand this. It is of no intention for us to make any money with arbitrage orders (since we're not running our own Bitcoin mining pools we have to point arbitrage order to external pools and taking into account variance and external pool fees, therefore arbitrage order will always basically generate us a 0 profit). Anyway, this might not be our final decision, we're testing out this approach, but we have to find a way for long-term balance between sellers & miners expectations. Of course, as always, comments are welcome, from both sellers and buyers. Thank you for using our service! Strongly disagree with this, and I'm a seller. Let the market dictate the price. If sellers don't like the price, they'll switch to another pool until the price comes back up. Anyone mining for -8% (-10% with fee) isn't really keeping an eye on their equipment. Bottom line is you're costing people money. Let the market regulate it's self. Was about to place an order, but will take it to MRR instead. I won't be using NH/WH anymore as a seller or buyer until this is resolved. |

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a rackmount solution for a Neptune, anyone ideas?
Thanks,

I've been thinking about building something out of aluminum for mine. How much interest would there be from the community for a closed aluminum (or cheaper galvanized) housing? |

Hmm, maybe 6 290s left. Would have to check tomorrow. Mostly epilda, with maybe 1 or 2 hynix left. Not plugging them in to check, though. The msi 290 is hynix.

Thanks for the info.  Fill up that 80A of usable power!  I'm limited to 90A right now, soon to be 200A. I'm on a family farm house. So it was designed for lots of electricity. I have a 200 amp going to house, and 100 amp subpanal going to area I'm now setting up. So total of 300 amp already . Just hard to justify that much mining gear currently for me. I've got a 200A feed to the house, with 60A going to a sub panel in my detached garage. Is your 100A sub panel feeding off your main 200A from the house? If so you don't have 300A, you're drawing 100A from the 200A available. To have 300A, you'd have to have a 200A entrance to your main panel in the house, and a second 100A entrance to a different building feeding that building's main panel. I have 300A. There is 200 on main panel. and 100 on the one going to garge/work area. It was wired for a farm. Some of tractors and stuff in winter or cold you plug into the electricity to keep engines warm and easy to start. So it was designed with farming in mind. At this point the farming and cattle land is rented out. I went the way of computers not farming business. Hmm, weird. I'd be curious to see your electrical panel. |
