Cannot change mining pools in settings. Any advice?

last resort is always ssh.  edit with "vi /config/cgminer.conf"   and then run "/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart"
but don't do this unless you know what you are doing. 

Or last resort flash the sd card in it.  That is one thing I love about S4 and C1's is their use of sd cards.

Makes it a lot harder to brick completely.

Curious to know how they work with each other? Will the program recognize more than one stick at a time? Will they run on CG or BGminer stock versions?

it is BFGminer working in background of this gui.  I don't have a second one to test multiple, but with the config file it should be as easy as adding the second com port on second usb.   If you take triggers etc yes you could run BFGminer, the Gui was meant to make it easier.

On  a side note there is a second Gui i found on their site that looks even nicer.  But was in Chinese, I could not see if it had a English version.

Nice!  It's running on Antpool, thought I noticed an increase in hash rate.  Are there any cool leds?  I'm quite fond of the Block erupters.

There is one led running TheRealSteve found this telling it's states: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon_nano#LED

I tested it for 5 hours or so on the PC, and it brought me back to the block erupter day's was fun.  It is a very nice gui making it easy to mine.  Also very stable never had one crash or issue. For it to be efficient I really need to get another Raspberry Pi to run it.

This question have been asked here, people will tell you a lot of sites where you can get bitcoins, forget  about faucets, you will waste your time with them, the best option to earn bitcoins is with the signature campaigns, worry now for getting more rank, at least as "member" and start with any signature campagin, good luck

Well you dont earn as much i mean sig campaign is good but it has a limit and you have to post quality stuff.

In faucets you just write captcha fast, and load the page fast.

I bet that you can earn 100$/ day worth of bitcoin from faucets only by writing captcha!
  LOL  your hand would fall off !!! i dont think you could even make 10.00$ a month

I got a faucet list and there is a guy there who writes alot of captchas so it can easily make 20-30$/day with a little effort, but mostly for big bucks you need to work hard on faucets.
   is he from africa....i feel sorry for him  wtf  "carpal tunnel "

How many does he write a day?  Services I have seen pay very little.  30 Dollars for captchas is a lot of money for one person in a day.

Good Day All,

I bought an S4 miner and almost got evicted because of the fan noise so I decided to re-sell it back to ebay; however, I am conflicted and badly wanted to mine bitcoin more so I can pay my bills while saving my money for masters program. I am wondering is there a DIY manual to change the S4's fan and what kind of fan type do I have to buy that have low dbm and as silent as S3's fan so that my land lord who lives in the first floor won't complain.




Thanks in advance,
johncban

I guess it depends on what you want.  As far as most quiet miner the Avalon 4.1 nothing has came near it on quietness. And I have tested a lot of miners, but yes with this one you pay a premium. -  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1008726.0


Thanks for replying notlist3d,

I would like to ditch the PSU currently I have 2 S3+ and an external PSU seems a head ache because my place didn't have enough space. Plus I need to reduce the configuration time; however, thanks for the info I will keep that in my list to buy if I cannot upgrade the S4 fan.



Respectfully,
johncban


Try downclocking the S4. But I think the S4 is the loudest miners out there. Don't know if downclocking will do anything.

I think if he want's to keep the S4's.  It will likely be a combination of underclocking and switching fans.   But I don't know if that for sure will fix his problem with neighbors.  It just is a heck of a miner on power.

I would hate to have a landlord who is mad about sound from 2nd floor.
11206  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New Bitmain Products? S4+ and S7? on: April 12, 2015, 10:48:54 PM
The sooner the better is the way I see it!!! Too much
hype has been built up on this one. I just hope it's not
a mega system that takes a small power plant to run it.

They have been pretty consistent on making miners a 110 can run.  So I doubt they break this as far as power usage.

Really with  price of BTC down a little extra mining time with current gen is not a bad thing.
11207  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon Nano - Stick Mining Fun! on: April 12, 2015, 10:44:54 PM
what efficiency does it perform?

and about weight, quote: "The products including: Avalon3 Nano * 1,weight:0.5KG" - did someone missed one zero ?

On efficiency it is a single "A3233".  You can read more about them here- https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon3#A3233

On weight it is from the EHash site.  You are correct the Nano weights nothing close to it.  I left it as I don't know if that is the shipping weight they use with a little packing.

If you have trouble getting some to even use body cameras do you really think you will be able to get them to buy insurance for them?

I think rather then insurance, cameras will be what is a game changer.  I think eventually most if not all will be forced to use body cameras.  And also these day's you can get dashcams for your own car..

i dont get it, what are the points that speak against a body camera?

I speak against them.  Sorry if it came out wrong.  I just am saying it seems hard to get a lot of police to wear body cameras.  If we cannot get them to wear body cameras, I don't think there is a chance we could get them to get a new forum of insurance.

Thanks for the review, notlist3d. It looks very cute! Does it have LED lights when it's hashing?


PD: a small typo, just in case you want to correct it. The first line of the post says "Avalon 4.1" instead of Avalon Nano ;-)

Thanks it has now been corrected.  Been mostly playing with the 4.1 today the nano I played with yesterday and just did not get time to type up my results.

And your very welcome! I enjoy doing them.  It does have a nice LED that brings back memories of the Asic Miner stick miners from long ago Smiley
11212  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon Nano - Stick Mining Fun! on: April 12, 2015, 09:15:14 PM
Didn't think there was a market anymore for USB miners.

Isn't GekkoScience trying to launch a similar product?

The usb stick miner field still has some, but since cost of all the parts for 1 chip normally it's not most practical.  It is however a good tool for someone to play with mining without spending a ton of money.

I think GekkoScience's product will be a bigger miner with a higher hash rate miner compared to a single stick.  I do look forward to seeing what they come up with though.

Prison Break  - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455275/

It is on Netflix so it's easy to view.  It is a very addictive show, they do a great job of making you want to keep watching the next episode to see what happens.
11214  Other / Off-topic / Re: Moral predicament on: April 12, 2015, 09:06:14 PM

 You should tell the kids what you saw and give them the option of confessing or having you evince their actions.
It's a much better lesson.


This will do a lot more. If they don't have anything happen and honestly caused a good amount of damage, there is a better chance they will do it again. 

If you know the kids or parents you will have a better feel of what needs to be done.  Chances are getting the parents involved will make a world of difference.  I bet the parents would all get together and pay damages to prevent kids having police/insurance issues.  This way business owner is not out money, and kids will stop doing these actions without a criminal record to follow them.

Hi, I do a transaction yesterday, with out fees (this is the error) and today, 18h later say "Unconfirmed Transaction!" and 0% Network Propagation.
What can i do?
Next time don't be so greedy put on few cents fee and you will get it confirmed within 20 minutes tops.

A few cent's does make a world of difference on speed.  I wish all wallets would warn people about not paying fee and how slow it can go, and it can not go aswell.

Although I'm nut sure if it's wallets not warning people.  Or if people are trying to save a little BTC causing most of these.

Avalon Nano

0) General information + Hardware Needed
1) The Miner
2) Install
3) Running
4) Conclusion
5) How to purchase

0) General Information + Hardware Needed to buy
The Avalon Nano is a more recent addition to the line of stick miners.   It is advertised as "Avalon Nano is a USB miner containing one A3233 core. With its cute appearance and easy-to-use GUI, Avalon Nano will be your friendly guide to the world of BTC"  And it brags of "The hashrate of Avalon Nano can adjust automatically between 1.0 and 3.6 GHS according to the changes of temperature."  With stick miners there are a lot of options to run it.  Below is some item's you might need:

  • Computer or Raspberry Pi to run the stick miner
  • Depending on how many possibly a powered usb hub

1) The Miner
The Nano comes in a small box that does a decent job of protecting it.  You will be welcomed with a brightly colored Nano once you open the box.




2) Install
They brag of a Gui, which it has.  But it does take a few steps to set up the Gui Settings.  First download the software and drivers/Quick Start from EHash: http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon_nano/doc/tutorial/Avalon%20nano%20QuickStart.7z

It comes with a video that gives you a idea of how to install the software, but video is in Chinese.

  • Below is the files within the compressed file.


  • Within the lpcopen is the usb driver you will need for the Nano.  Once you plug it in with windows direct it to where this file is extracted
  • The folder with AvalonMiner contains the actual GUI and backend of bfgminer extract it to a folder to set up the settings
  • Within the folder with with Chinese lettering is the .ini file you will want to configure and replace the .ini file in the folder with the miner program.  You will need to find the com port for the Nano is using and change it within the ini file.


  • After doing this you will be ready to run your miner gui from the folder and it is marked as AvalonMiner.

3) Running

  • Below is the GUI showing the miner running:


4) Conclusion
The Avalon Nano is a newer addition to the stick miner family of miners.  It exceeds it's advertised speed of 3.6 GHs with a speed normally upwards of 4.3 GHs.  I used the GUI as I wanted to test out the GUI.  There are far more efficient way's to run it such as a Raspberry Pi and a powered USB hub.  With this miner chances are it will not be your pick for your next ROI miner.  But I would say is more in the market for someone who want's to learn how about bitcoin mining and doing it for knowledge or experience of mining with spending a smaller amount.  It is a low powered miner, and put's out little heat that the colorful heatsink does a good job containing.


5) How to purchase
You can go directly to the EHash website: https://ehash.com/

Or something to go wrong.  GPU day's were kinda the wild west of machines.   I had used a cheap PSU with a PCIe Y slpitter....... yea melting happened.  I learned lesson quick.

Also if you pushed them to hard i remember them letting out a puff of smoke.  That was one sad moment, and it was crazy how long warranty lasted on GPU's.

Cannot change mining pools in settings. Any advice?

Can you take a screenshot of the settings?   What is happening when you are trying to change pools?
11220  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Got my ROI some days ago... on: April 12, 2015, 06:46:27 PM
well they seems legit, but can you resell your contract at some point or you are stuck with it until it end?

because i might be interested with that price per giga, and no maintenance cost too

If it's real it's one heck of a deal.   No electricity, or fees at that price would be pretty great.   I just don't see at this price the company being able to provide it.
