I just noticed that the S5 comes out in a week or so, since it would cost the same for 2 S3 or 1 S1, I probably should just wait and get a S5....
Depends on what you pay for electric and if you already have PSU's or need to buy them as they need to be figured in. You can buy the S3's used at a better price than new and nobody knows yet just how well the S5 runs. I also think you mean to say S4 instead of S1? |

some laptops have underpowered USB ports that dont give the full 500ma that the USB 2.0 spec calls for and may not power something like the USB 330 MHs block erupters. pretty sure the block erupters ran near that 500 ma limit.
depends on the laptop, and a powered hub would solve that anyway.
Correct!! Better to use a powered USB hub to be safe,you could burn out your laptop by drawing too much power through the USB port. Some USB miners use a lot of power,compared to normal USB peripherals,so be sure to know the power draw  This guy below has done the homework for you!!! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=464496.0Read it,learn it,live it  Your both right I ran powered hubs and he will need to make sure the Power adapter is rated at least 500MA per miner or they will not run right or quit. |

I wanted to know the good and bad about overclock Bitmain Antminer s3+ 450 gh/s. I also want to know does anyone on here recommend me to overclock the miner and will it hurt or damage the miner.
You will use more electric per GH/s but the miner will let you know if it does not like being OC or not. |

Hmm sorry to hear s0br got stolen from. Its amazing how many bullshit thieves there are in bitcons. I love how honest s0br has always been with us. He is a good man and runs a great pool. I am also very interested in his other projects he is involved with. So far with my experience with i'm and his admins they have always been very upfront when problems arise and even paid us bonuses in times we deserved it. I do not know the man personally but I wish i did.
I agree with you as I know for a fact s0br is a trustworthy person. |

I want a demo unit too. You can have one for $418 and shipping  |

Your laptop will do fine. I at one time used my laptop with my USB miners and its a Toshiba. What I like about a laptop back then was if the power went out and I was not home to restart the computer the laptop will not shutdown till the battery runs out and if the power came back on before that happened then the miners would go back to mining.

So care to explain what's wrong with the Federal Reserve?
Federal Reserve control the US Dollar and GAW control or have half control of Paycoin. And? Our economy would be fucked without the Federal Reserve and a sheep can't live without the sheepdog - sure. The Federal Reserve is the problem not the solution. Never in history has fiat money worked... and the US dollar is no exception. |

yep, moved nicely upwards. I wish you guys all the luck in the world with this one.
the idea seems OK and I hope the project goes through as I have many friends who invested a huge lot in it
I am not in to deep. I just took some of my earning from selling my hash during the rush on Westhash and bought some XPY at .021 Sold a 1/3 of what I had and may sell another 1/3 soon to show a small profit and hold the free coins. |

Kano and his groupies can deny this shit all day every day (EXACTLY as I warned you they would in my first post) (And you noticed all the groupie false hope posters flew in like a bunch of bees to a beautiful rose) but the bottom line at the end of the day basic elementary math does not lie, You dont need a complex PPLNS bullshit equation they tell you to solve the profit margin of a PPLNS pool.
PPLNS no complexity involved at all  (except for the mathematically challenged) Every single block my pool finds is here: https://blockchain.info/address/1KzFJddTvK9TQWsmWFKYJ9fRx9QeSATyrTThe "No Inputs (Newly Generated Coins)" are the blocks coming in and every single one sends to 2 addresses: an address for miners (99.1%) and an address for ckolivas and myself (0.9%) and in that same link you see the miner input address going to the payouts to all the miners directly. i.e. from 1KzFJddTvK9TQWsmWFKYJ9fRx9QeSATyrT All very clear, all very simple and all very easy to check the numbers. Actually, more to the point is that what cyberpinoy has posted about PPLNS is completely false.
I'm not sure if he's just mathematically challenged, delusional, or plain simply lying to try to scare the uninformed away from pools using PPLNS.
All of the above...... Yeah, I think "all 3" sounds ever so accurate. I am thinking its more the first two with him thinking its he is doing others a favor by doing #3. But its hard to think that if he had mined at any of the pools in questioned he would have found out he was wrong? About the only pool payout system that really confuses me is Eligius. |

Great idea
In essence.. The guys pointing huge amounts of hashing power to the pool make my chance of getting that one solving hash even bigger. "It's the pool and it's size what matters." From this you can calculate your "luck factor." Unless I'm misreading what you mean you're wrong. All that matters is your own hashrate because you're SOLO mining. Just because you do it through a pool doesn't change a thing compared to running bitcoind yourself and mining on that (edit: except that ckpool takes 0.5% if you do solve a block). EDIT: Every share you solve has a chance of being a block solver. How many shares you can solve depends solely on your own hashrate and the difficulty, not on the total hashrate of the pool. Hmm.. But a large pool will "cloud" many shares and distribute them. So you can factor your own hashrate against the pool as opposed to the overall hashrate. That way increasing your "luck factor." The overall hash "cloud" and your single instance in that will not weigh against a large pool with a shared hashrate. That's what I mean. Shares are being solved equally over the Net, but a large pool will "suck in" a significant portion of shares, thus mining in this pool wil change your overall "luck factor" as opposed to "going it alone on the Net." It's about "time" and "volume." Am I wrong? The way I understand it every miner here is independent of each other. You are solo mining here no different than if you were doing it yourself on your own pool. The difference is most people dont know how or have the time to set up their own pool, so you pay CK a small share to use his pool, only if you find a block. |

It will go up and will not come down unless the price of BTC crashes. I think we will see a point of more energy efficient equipment keeping a lot of people in the game. But there has to be a point of some large farms running old equipment that will either shut down or swap out to newer miners. I just dont think we will see the huge increases we saw in the past.

Iran....Wondering if RPG's can be bought with BTC yet?  |

seems XPY price has moved up lately. I think I will sell some off here.

problem is its rated at 30A for a 100% duty cycle (like bitcoin mining is) so the S5 would pull more power than is available for most voltages. Bitmain says that 10A+ will be sufficient for 9V but i imagine that only applies to a single blade 12v/14 chips = 0.86V (stock is 0.8V?) 10v/14 chips = 0.71V or ~0.34w/GH or ~780Gh = 265W (26.5 A) 9v/14 chips = 0.64V or ~0.26w/GH or ~560Gh = 145.6W (16 A) plus, at 9V draw, the linked power supply is likely <~85% efficient so youll be drawing more power at the wall It seems that the 30A for 100% duty cycle will be sufficient if the miner will only pull 16amps at 9v? |

Once again, we've got some unfortunate news, Effective today, and through at least January 1, 2015, we're suspending the mining bonus. We are still a 0% fee Pay Per Share pool.
This isn't a decision we wanted to make, and it wasn't easy. But trying something new comes with risks, and we've suffered some losses, had some setbacks beyond our control occur, and unfortunately, had some instances of people abusing the payout system and bonuses offered by the pool.
In the beginning, we said the bonus might be temporary, and it's lasted quite a long time. And we sincerely hope that, in the near future, we will be able to pay the bonus again. We're working to re-incorporate the bonus, with the launch of a rental site early next year, and we're acquiring increased BTC reserves in order to make sure we're prepared for our increased hashrate.
We can't thank you enough, all of you who have supported our efforts so far and helped to build our pool into what it is today. On a normal day, our average hash rate is over 3 Ph/s, and Bitcoin Affiliate Network is now one of the names you see on Blockchain.info and Blocktrail.com for blocks being solved.
BitAffNet is going to remain the best place to mine, and the most profitable Pay Per Share pool out there.
Thanks again for your support,
Matt, Gil, and the BitAffNet Team
Thanks for this. Despite my time on the pool and being a top 15 miner by hash rate, I never get these emails. I switched pools after reading this because they owed me .4 btc and had not paid out since yesterday. But got paid shortly afterwards. I think I'll wait a bit before redirecting my hash back to them. Looks like the bonus hasn't gone away completely just reduced to 1% s0br let it be know from the start the pool itself was not what this project was all about and with what I highlighted above is what I believe was his main project from the start and is to be his money maker, all he wanted was a pool to run it with. Completely understand, but also I understand that regular payouts when you say you want them every hour, 2, 6, 24 etc were a big selling point, the OP makes a bit point of it as a positive for the pool, but the payouts haven't been regular, they have been late, and now its being said that s0br is having to buy BTC to meet the payouts of the pool, not a good place to be imho. And the bonuses were great, as long as you understood they were a marketing gimmick and were not meant to last, but as long as the payouts were on time who cares where the bonus comes from, its not the miners problem is it? But if payments start being delayed or missed, and (crazy if true) rumours of having to buy BTC to pay miners, then the risk starts to look too great and the concerns expressed by the more knowledgeable people earlier in the thread start to be more clearly recognised, the worst fear is that its not just an hour or a days mining income that gets lost if the pool ups and disappears, if the payouts are delayed for 4-5 days and then the pool disappears then someone walks off with a lot of coin. For some that risk is now too big, time to move on. Thats understandable as I like the 2 hour payments and I talked to s0br on chat yesterday. The hack of his wallet and the loss of 2 blocks worth of coin ( 50 BTC ) put him in a position yesterday of having to wait till the two new blocks to confirm to use for payout as he had maxed out the limit that he could buy from Coinbase. . The way I understood he has bought coins to help make the bonus and or payments during slow times in the past. I have pulled my miners in the past a few times when I didn't feel comfortable with late payments but always came back once the payments were made. I have never had payments go 4 or 5 days but there is nothing wrong with a miner watching out for himself as there are plenty of pools to chose from. |

I am gauging the audience to see if there are any pools that benefit large miners. So far, I have tried Slush and BAN. They both provide similar payouts.
First off 5.5Th is no way a large miner, but I can not believe you have experienced similar payouts from Slush and BAN? How long did you mine at both? If your looking for a pool with something huge well you missed it last week when Westhash (nicehash) was the place to be but other than that there is no magic pool with huge payouts or everyone would be there and but of coarse then it would be a normal payout? |

I cannot find anything in my account that says what I've earned, what I've been paid, and what I'm owed. To say I don't get paid until N exceeds 5 x difficulty + delta tells me exactly nothing. What is my N  Do you have any plans to provide transparency for miners I think PPLNS is the worst thing ever conceived for miners. I can see why you like it since payouts significantly lag work done. I guess in 14 hours I'll see how much I'm paid for the first block found since I started mining here. |
