Can you pay for holiday with bitcoin?
By saving up enough coins and cashing them out? It is very possible for some to do this there are some called whales that have large holdings. If your thinking of a small faucet user or something then no... no vacation. But all it would take is selling BTC at an exchange to get the money for vacation assuming you have the BTC.

SD card on s7?
I thought the same when reading it. Does this mean it is running from the SD card on S7? As that was a amazing feature on S4's and C1's. And if so would give your custom firmware a serious bump in coolness. If it does run from SD can you run it on a S7 that has a bad flash and bricked? Or does it need to have the original firmware still working on the BBB?

You want to talk about good old times? I wonder how many others remember using a cpu Bitcoin miner
They are all millionaires and chilling on some remote island they bought with satoshi, and laughing at us...at least the guys that didn't buy pizza with their early bitcoins ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Not all some bought things like pizza's ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) or other things along the way having no idea it would ever be worth this most. So some definitely did get island rich, but others due to bad investments or selling did not. So hard to say. But I do remember and miss those day's. Building your machine... I took a lot of pride in mine. Now it's plug and play.

I have a feeling that these SP50 actually exist and pretty soon they will be liquidating all of them on eBay to make room for newer miners.
That would be interesting I'm not sure they have everything in a NDA for those in the know. The rest of us just know what is reported to the public. Which does not include this at all. What I'm not sure is bitfury specs are around 2x better then SP50 specs. So the mega farms they both would want, unless price is drastic difference I think will go bitfury unless we don't know some important things. Which is very possible.

Hi all. I realy dont understand why my post was deleted like a offtopic! Maby scamers was reported ?
I am looking for people who fall for these scams. All who translated the personal bank accounts of money this LTD or personal, please contact me via private message. I have something to offer you! let's help ourself
any personal infro needed. Adress, any personal info, e.t.c
Please contact me and leave your contact details, Phone, Email, other messenger. I will provide more details
standard methods and the police will not help
Dont delete this message, I didn't whant to spam in PM to all people in this topic.
I doubt you get people to give you their personal info. You just are still pretty low activity and not enough rep to really get that kinda trust. Also big thing you don't mention what your doing with info... saying your trying to help others out. One would ask how are you going to help them? If you have a lawyer you could post many supporting documents. But to mention bank accounts and personal info... a lot will right you off as a scam right away.

I would say yes, you could use them in the winter instead of a heater and you use them for altcoin launches that run sha to try and make an ROI if ever possible.
And if never use them I still think there are 5 dollars worth of parts within them. And also make a decent thing on a mining area spot as decoration. I can't say for sure how much they are worth in part's but 5 dollars seems like heat sinks might be worth that in some cases. I hope OP bought them after reading thread.

Dam I think I should start a mining hosting farm... thats not hosted in china ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) you know to keep it decentralized ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Guess im lucky here... electric $0.06 from the service providers $0.05 direct from the main power supplier. and if we go solar.... <drum roll> 8hrs of sunlight in winter and 12 hours in summer.... hmmmm ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Now capital that's the problem *sigh* Well there is a LOT of setup costs I personally would want cheaper then .05 to set up a hosting farm. Personal mining sure on .05. But with a hosting farm everything is bigger on costs. Wiring and cooling, and getting electric company to set you up for that much electricity all comes out to be a lot of upfront costs. So I don't think you will be profitable for quite a while after setup costs. And this does not include how hard it will be starting to get people to trust you with their gear. That is right. For home mining, 0.05/kWh is very profitable as you can use many existing facilities with no extra cost. Although someone agreeing with me always feels good ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . There is really no need to in this thread. We should let it die we have a question, and an anwser. So it's all done as far as what it needed. We should let thread die or if OP still checks lock thread is even better.

Will suspend the project then. Maybe invest on something else. I dont like risky investment
Crypto is a high risk high reward investment for sure. If you don't want risk.... this is far from what your looking for. There are much better regular investments if you want less risk. Traditional less risk is like stocks or high rated bonds. But they wont have gain potential as crypto.

I don't know, Rich, the swings are way too drastic and timed too well to be purely variance. I think we are seeing orchestrated powering on and off of large amounts of miners, probably as Phil has mentioned these are big farms of old tech that gets turned on with cheap power and then turned off so as not to effect overall diff.
Variance for small swings for sure, but I don't think this is variance.
My logic.... is that we have an unusual period here in that it looks like being close to Zero. If the big rise we saw from around block 900 to 1000 was a big farm turning on then that should have resulted in an increase in Difficulty this period that was sustained whereas it has gradually gone away back to zero? Also although at the time it looked quite dramatic if you step back from the graph of the period as a whole then it looks less significant? As I say just a theory.... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Rich We have had drastic swings in past few months that is sure. Luckily this is on lower side: Bitcoin Difficulty: 178,678,307,672 Estimated Next Difficulty: 179,280,343,410 (+0.34%) Adjust time: After 51 Blocks, About 8.7 hours Hashrate(?): 1,200,914,130 GH/s Price dropped some but 449... still not bad I said 450 so much and we about have it just barlety below. My theory is it will be hard to predict difficulty some company's might want to do last cash in current gen chips. And once we get next gen I predict skyrocket on hashrate. But again speculation is hard to do at this point.

If your laptop has a crossfire of AMD GPU it may mine ethereum quite correctly and make you profit (if the laptop can live long enough) but you will burn it in less than 6 months in the most optimistic of the predictions, you can make more altcoins if you sell it for USD and buy altcoins, or sell it for USD and buy bitcoins.
Laptop with crossfire are hard to find due to heat. There have been a few.... but they don't really make them with crossfire. The one's that have 2 graphics cards on laptops tend to be a intel something for saving battery, and a gaming card that eats battery. Alienware does have a special base for some models that can connect to a regular GPU. But I still would not mine with it. I would look into open air desktops if truly serious about it.

My friend just find faucets and make it the being a jr member and enroll at yobit. Damn it faucet is so low and takes long time.
Me too fauceting and going to member. and why must i wait 360 seconds to posts? im so bored The post timer is a great thing, as you gain activity it will get smaller and smaller. Sadly without this someone creates an account and can spam the crap out of the baord. With this chances are they get reported and far less spam threads. Faucets are just a way to make cent's. Sadly so many new people think they are getting free money... but it's so tiny it's not worth while. There is so many better things to do with your time.

It's still on my project list I should have a R1 added there eventually. With R1 it's just kinda been at bottom of list. Seems like each time there is something that pops up. But I will be there eventually ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

The firmware can be reflashed using a USB TTL programming dongle wired directly to the controller board. There are instructions out there. Of course that method isn't for everybody but the usb dongle costs almost nothing on ebay.
If you have a lot of S3's and plan on keeping them long term this is a good idea. But it does take a more technical user then one who gets new flashed board from Bitmain. I will admit on the one S3 I bricked I just paid for a new one with good flash on it. They did a good job getting it to me pretty quick. Just was easiest option at the time for me.

I cant understand why DHL gives me 2200$ for shipping and fedex only 1400$. Thank you all for your advice and opinion, today I'm going to explore the place were all these stuff will be placed. Company that is providing energy told us that they will give us 25kwt power, I think that would be enough for miners only and the air conditioner will work from another line. Im hoping to get ROI in about 10 month. If your order direct from bitmaintech they have 100 dollar coupons.
I could send you a few coupons. 'free'
Do not listen to naysayers if you want to mine do it.
thank you so much I wonder how does the coupon system works? Can I use several coupons in one order or just one per order? DHL is highly location specific on if it's good for you. I'm on the edge of a route... they put it in regular US mail vs delivering it to me. So it adds multiple day's. I really hate them as a shipping company. Above is normal if he is running low on amount delivered he calls people and says he will be in X parking lot for certain amount of time and you can come pick it up. So he get's lots of credit for delivery ... yet people drive to him. He's pretty skummy. I would also look at cooling again using AC is pretty uncommon at this point with mining gear. Just is really expensive vs other options. Normally at this point it's evaporation cooling, or high CFM's pushing heat and exhausting it. So I would check on that part.

"Too many idiots here. I really do hate idiots If you are an idiot fuck you" Well, fuck you too!
Logically you are telling the world that you are an idiot. A nicer way to put it OP is your plan lacks planning, and we cannot possibly help with info provided: I plan on moving to a country where I will be paying little or $0 dollars for electricity. What country? Do you think I will make cash if I go into mining? You would need to know how much of this "free electricity you have". Honestly moving countries for this ... I think will be hard and finding a country with 0 cost that is not risky.... very tough If yes, how much or how many btc do you think I will make daily. You don't even provide what machine or how many, so we cannot possibly say. How much will the mining machine/rig cost and which is the best mining machine/rig to buy. Depends on what machine you choose... you need to do research
cut rest *
You you have a LOT of info you need to find out on your own before we can help. I get you points and I must say they are valid As regards country, it's personal but believe me I will get free electricity. Am not actually moving countries basically because of that. Am moving to supervise a project and want to use the opportunity to make some bucks off mining since electricity is free. As regards mining machines, I don't have any in mind. Not ready to spend more that 10k on this though. I know I need to do research. I posted this so people that have done it can tell me exactly how they did theirs and how much they spent Most can't justify moving countries based on finding electricity. You would need a massive amount of initial investment for setup cost. I don't think you will be able to do it for 10k personally if your thinking you will live off of it safely. A lot of the free/near free electricity countries are pretty dangerous. Add costs like security and it adds up quick. I think you would be better off sending gear and not moving with it with under a 10k investment. Are you able to say country? If China.. I would say you are heading a decent route.... some places though just are not great and very risky. On setup you need to get a place to put miners so decent initial cost right there. Then add electricity equipment cost, and install. Again adds up again. Add up PSU's needed. By the end of this your 10k... you are buying a lot less miners then I think you thought. I honestly don't think you will be able to live off a 10k investment unless a pretty sketchy company.

Was reading a thread and started to think about ways to move bitcoin without actually being tapped into the network.
1. Buyer connected to internet,seller offers code to scan for said amount agreed on well not connected.
Any other ways to have one party not connected?
Was also looking at the wifi direct option and that looked to dicey to connect into the buyers/sellers network during a transaction.
No you need to have a connection to the network as you transaction needs sent in it. You mention wifi could be dicey during buying/selling. If your talking about buying and selling in person you can use a smartphone in some cases where you use cell phone network vs wifi. As far as security some hardware wallets can connect to phones via OTG cable and allow pretty save storage/sending even on the go. Unless he just gives away his private key on paper to be swept into another address. Depends on the reason why you would want the seller to be disconnected from the internet, might be pointless in the first place. But he mentions "buyers/sellers" I can't imagine anyone accepting a paper wallet without importing. They would want to import it and send to new address. Also make sure they get a conformation so it's not a double spend. At end of day realistically you have to have internet of some kind if you want to sell it.

The most easy to do for Newbiew is a faucet, but it requires a lot of time (not fast) and coin in getting a little
Easy and good are two different things. Faucets you get paid what are called micro payment or dust. So you hardly make anything, even if you spend day's at keyboard doing it. Just is a long amount of time to spend for not hardly any money. Someone new would be better off buying 1 dollar of BTC to play around with if that is goal vs spending who knows how many hours just to earn that tiny amount.

*rest above
Your system could be the best faucet in the world (I personally don't think it is) but lets say it is you still pay cent's per hour's. That is just how it works out nothing against you but faucets earn dust. Your offer of 1000 satoshi sounds great till you do math and see it is " USD $0.0046549000".
And you can make argument PC would be on anyways... that is valid I have some on 24x7. But your still wasting time you will never get back. I would try to get someone to use time to learn a skill. If they did this instead of hours of faucets they will gain so much more long term.
For your "Unique" system to be considered something special I think you need to pay off all investors. If you are able to pay off all investors and then prove you pay better then cents per hours you will get a lot more people who listen. And I still think paying off your paid investors needs to be done before you can claim sucess.
Yes my system is "UNIQUE" because it is market regulated and you can not "battle" against the market. Why do you talk about cent's per hour's? you should talk about cent's per minute's or cent's per seconds if the site does much profit(let us dream)(lol) The first purpose of my u2 system is fun... Fun does not have a "price" After the fun is to try earning the most you believe is possible(you have we can say 5 option and one more with the captcha trading) The global earning does not really matter. When I search muchrooms in the wood...the main interest is the searching...not the value of the mushrooms. When i went fishing...it was the fishing and not very the fish...i often let them go away free when it was not enough fot a diner... With my U2cloudmining system (cloudmining is just the name...like moonbitcoin...with the moon) I let the market do... The less people earn...the more the system has perhaps success. Perhaps because the earning can be low and the the success low too...(lol) But with my U2 system the claimers are the owners... It is the big difference with classic faucets or ponzi shemes. Have fun... I say cent's per hour as people who do faucets earn cents for spending hours of faucet work. It is a truthful fact, you can say they do it for fun or other reason. But fact is pay per hour is horible. I think if you want people to take you "system" serious you need to pay people back who have invested after who knows how many months you have paid 1/2 back... not so good. Heck it was less then 1/10 for a while on numbers you realeased. But if your "system" is great and so profitable pay back all of your investors and get rid of the ponzi scheme a lot have connected you to. No matter what you say though I do not see your system as quick money. It is cent's per hour. Prove me wrong and show you pay dollar or above per hour on faucet site and I will be shocked. Until you prove it it will be assumed to be false as no faucet pays that.

I heard Alienware laptops are rich in graphics card features. Does anyone already doing any mining with these kind of laptops. I work in marketing field and I need mining equipment with mobility. Any suggestions from your experience would be highly useful for me.
I will focus on two parts first mining with mobility... it just does not happen. You use a asic or desktop with GPU's and it can mine well but you will not be bringing it with you to other places easily. Yes some you could move, but it would become a pain to move many times. And as everyone said laptops are NOT made for mining. Even the best laptop gaming machine is like a deathtrap if mining at any kinda good intensity. Just not enough cooling. So you will eventually likely ruin your nice laptop if you mine it.
