Hi I just joined the forum and would like to buy 2K BlackCoins for 3.5 cents each. I have that amount on prelude .io currently BC/USD. I'm just trying to get started and it has been difficult for me to buy BlackCoins and I'm asking you guys to help me!
...won't you find that username annoying when you're not a newbie? Suspicious name indeed

Everything working fine.
Was just that the solder was not making contact properly.
And as I was launched also removed the SMD's and soldered the 47K's in place, took me a while with my cheapo solder iron but it's done and
the GS's are hashing happily right now at 1000mhz will go gradually until 1200 to see what's the sweet spot.
great on getting the 5V mod working,, correctly ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 1200 is gonna be shaky with a 47k resistor. You should use at least a 50k if not 52k...but at 52, it will start to suck too much juice and not yield maximum results, per my sweet spot test reports... Lettuce know how you get along, lil doggie! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) So what's the best Mhz setting you experienced with the 47K ?

Thanks Wolfey and everyone else whom have contributed to this thread.
I bought a Weller 35watt iron and a pencil tip for it.
Picked my worst GS unit and now the little bugger has been running at 1200 for the past couple errors w/o a HW error (yet).
I did notice that the heatsink wasn't tightened down properly thus one of the GS chips wasn't making full contact with the thermal pad. That might have something to do with the HW errors as has been mentioned before.
I'm going to begin modding my other GS units starting tomorrow ... not today.
It was a nerve-wracking experience for me. But I have one under my belt now. I at least know the general idea now.
I feel you ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) my first one was also quite nerve wrecking !

Hmm that's weird then. I'll try on an other pod to see if it also gives problems. If it does then there must be something with the connection of the
solder to the board or so
Did you have the usb connected after you soldered it to test the fan? If you have a multimeter it would probably be less hassle to just pull that out and check to make sure that you are getting a voltage there. Working now, did not have a multimeter. On second pod worked right away, I guess on first one was a bit short on solder or something. Thanks guys

That is the correct side of the correct component for 5v operation. I am not sure why that did not work for you as it worked on mine.

Hi, could someone tell me if this is the correct place as to use Wolfey's 5v mod? I tried it and fan does not run when I solder it there. PS: I unsoldered it and just holding it in place now because I did not want to make it run and maybe soldered on the wrong component. I make them run fanless now as they are not yet voltmoded but in the future I will. Otherwise I'll just put the fan on a 5v rail of my PSU ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi900.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fac208%2Fjamieb811%2FIMAG0340_zps2b7ee364.jpg&t=663&c=DyiYwUg6RDMsDA)

If you see it longterm (i am speaking about 10-15 years) you couldnīt care less if its 200 or 500 right now.
I am buying because there is a saying " Kaufen wenn die Kanonen donnern"
english: " Buy when the Bombs are falling"
And sell when everybody is buying again! Buy low, sell high. easy. Just be patient.
Exactly that's how the market goes, problem is 99% is in for the quick $$ and do not have the long term patience

We've had a decent surge on Mintpal today. We are doing well considering we are not buying votes.
I still think we need to be on a larger exchange to help the marketplace (as Rofo needs to convert Noble at some point to buy new stock).
I agree, this coin needs to hit a big exchange

|

right now all of us sleazy speculators would like to see it go down to 100 so that we can buy it... somebody quick, think of a rumor i can spread,.. isn't bitcoin fattening or something?
Voila exactly ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) all speculators are just eager to buy in cheap

Hey, just put a paperclip between the green wire and the black wire and your PSU will fire up.
also for those running just a few gridseeds, first price cheapo PSU works just fine, I also run them on a 10$ PSU works great
|
|

AH my bad, I thought you needed both tp link + wii
then indeed it's alright
|
|
|
but its only for the controller not cgiminer or bfgminer ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . SO is the firmware new firmware for the gridseeds or new firmware for the contoller? and i have a TP link 703n, just not modded it yet or flashed it, where can i get an image for flashing it for controllering the grids??? It will work with Tp-link 703N, just follow the guide on how to flash it. There is cpuminer included, its faster and more efficient at Gridseed mining than cgminer or bfgminer. nice but the price of an Tp link + wiibox is to expensive to ROI just for that few hasing rate if you do not have an massive amount of gridseeds at home. If you have just a few, IMHO it's better to buy 1 extra gridseed cheap.

what do you think about bitcoin prices ? currently 394$ and still dropping?
is it a btc buy time and re-invest to ghs in these cheap prices??
or the bitcoing era is over?
I do not think it is over at all, at the moment all is dropping just because of the Chinese exchanges closing down and some other little fuss. This will take some time to flatten out before we will see some natural grow again. That's my opinion only

Well after running the pair of units for 12 hours with the newer mod (49.9k) and 12v fans I am seeing good stability so far at 1175Mhz. It has given me around 1Mh/s client side and very near that pool side with only a single HW error for each so far. Power usage is around 22-25W each but electricity is cheap here.
Is it correct what I am seeing on the auto switching pools websites, that profitability is ~0.00420BTC per Mh/s and falling? That really is rather sorry. Oh well.
Yeah BTC had again a big drop after some new chinese exchange closing news..
