12221  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: any mining succeess stories so far? on: March 02, 2015, 09:26:26 PM

The cost me  2.4 cents a kwatt  I have 2 and they do 850gh and use 650 watts.


Lucky you!  I pay about $0.20/kWh on average, residential rates in southern California are very high.  Good thing I mine as a hobby, not for profit.

How are you getting the 2.4 cents? I thought you mentioned much higher cost you had for power.

And as far as topic yes people roi.  I would agree 90 day ROI is over.  I have not had that since GPU days. 

I will say most are more quiet that ROI.  People that lose are normally more vocal.

Back in the day of the blades I blew a few fuses. They were the second blade version.   But just replace them and it works again. 

You would be better off putting this on a shelf and not mining with it at this point.
12223  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Mining directly to a Trezor? on: March 02, 2015, 05:00:12 AM
Before starting this thread, I read the Trezor's manual and FAQ cover to cover. I also searched this forum to get a sense of how people used their Trezors. Do they mine directly to them, or use them more as a rarely accessed bank?

What I found was a couple of posts indicating that a problem related to mining was fixed in the latest Trezor firmware (the release that supports multi-sig). But the actual issue referenced in the post wasn't clear.

That got me thinking that it might be worth asking if anyone had issues with direct mining. Maybe there are firmware versions to avoid. Or maybe there are usability issues to consider, like setting up watch-only wallets to keep track of income if the Trezor is rarely connected to a computer.

If it's as easy as just picking one or more of the generated receive addresses and mining to it, then great. But if there are other subtleties or usability issues, then I'd be interested in anyone's direct experience.

You use a the trezor to access a wallet stored on their site.   You would be mining to a BTC address that you need your trezor to access the BTC.

Personally i like videos on some things.  This video should explain alot : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggVKVmcmflk
12224  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Investing on: March 02, 2015, 04:53:37 AM
Are you after more dollars, or more BTC? The only ways to get more BTC are to buy them or mine them. If you want to mine, you need to either purchase a miner (but there's a lot of math and speculation involved whether it'd be worth doing so) or lease shares from someone else's miner (which cloud mining sites tend to make easy, but yeah a lot of them are actually thieves).

I would agree look at hosting or mining at home.  The "cloud" miners is just like the wild west in my view.

I highly suggest doing some research on ROI when investing in mining.  Also might factor in selling miner at end or factor in if your mining till it is at end of life.
12225  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Feb 22 to March 9 diff thread with contest included. on: March 02, 2015, 04:50:45 AM
I'm pretty happy with this.  It appears its going to be a small increase which considering BTC having a little increase all is fine with me.

12227  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lost my wallet! on: March 01, 2015, 12:47:42 PM
This will really come down to how much BTC is in wallet. If a few might be worth doing recovery by yourself to try to get it.

For professional data recovery it will take a lot of BTC in it to make sense.
12228  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Mining directly to a Trezor? on: March 01, 2015, 04:18:50 AM
Just sounds like you need to read some instructions. 

Only thing I would say worry is if you bought it opened.  I would buy new and check the seal.

Or you an always go with some sort of cold storage.
12229  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Need a PSU recommendation on: March 01, 2015, 04:16:35 AM
Thanks everyone, all of the responses really helped.

I just bought a Seasonic X-750. It should be able to handle 4 of these rboxes without even sweating Smiley

Sounds like a good pick you will be happy down the line going with quality.   A psu frying a cord or something is no fun.  Also saves on electricity with a good rated PSU.

Fing app is good too for device ips

I'm going DHCP and my Airport Extreme BaseStation does not show me what IP Address it assigned to it.  However, I know how my browser reacts to an authentic IP address versus one that is not.  Myminer.io gave me the IP as it did all 14 other rigs.  I could connect to all of them just fine except for this one.

Myminer.io has very long memory. It will list machines as "Online" even if they've been offline for days. If your Airport Extreme doesn't show it, then chances are it's not actually booting up and getting a DCHP lease, which suggests that the MMC is bad. Either that, or the ethernet cable is unplugged or something similarly silly.

Have you looked at the connected devices on router?   Assuming you know 14 of the rigs that should cut down how many IP's you need to try.

And there are apps that scan but device list is easier for most.  If you "have" to scan you can use angry ip scanner - http://angryip.org/ (Make sure to use your network IP range if done wrong you could be scanning something you don't have the right to)
12231  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Manufacturer Trustworthiness Guide [27th Feb] on: February 28, 2015, 11:35:02 PM
To all reading this thread:

Due to a non related dispute we have with the thread owner, he is badmouthing us and spread rumors and lies.

For example, we started to sell the SP10 on March 18 and completed selling our 1st gen equipment by mid June.

I ask you to take everything you read here about us with a huge grain of salt.
The owner is biased and try to promote his own agenda.

Guy

You should get someone at PR to handle this. You're not good at it.

And PS: Beware of the dogie!

I personally like a company willing to protect it's name. I was lucky enough to meet some of the Spondoolies guys at a BTC conference in Chicago.  They were all great that I talked to.  

Also talked to bitmain guys and they treated me good aswell.   Yoshi specifically spent a good  amount of time showing me the new miner at the time the S3's.

I consider myself a impartial observer.
12232  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GPU motherboard question on: February 28, 2015, 11:29:31 PM
I really like the idea of H61 Pro BTC mobo, but reading reviews on newegg, I don't want to experience issues with it

You are on the right track.  I know I have 2 of those boards in my parts from GPU days.  They were a little bit of a pain, i had good luck with powered risers.  With using unpowered it had trouble running with a full board of cards even with it's two molex power for cards.
12233  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GPU motherboard question on: February 28, 2015, 04:52:39 PM
Might need some powered risers with 6 cards.   I have not used them for a while with GPU mining pretty much dead.   There are some very nice risers that use USB and get you some extra space.  With 6 cards having some extra space to spread them from each other is nice.  Then use some kind of fan to push air though (assuming it is getting hot)
12234  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lost my wallet! on: February 28, 2015, 04:53:25 AM
Sadly as many said you will need your private key/backup of wallet file.  With password you don't have anything to unlock.

If it is a lot of BTC might try to find someone to try to recover it.   But with new format it would have to be pretty lucky if those parts were able to be recovered.

It does not matter mac or windows if you use full client with blockchain it takes a long time.   It's just getting bigger and bigger.
12236  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 1Ths Dragon Miner Raspberry PI Firmware on: February 27, 2015, 10:41:32 PM
Appears it's no longer in my dropbox.  I no longer have the 1T dragon if someone who downloaded my image wants to upload it they are more then welcome to.  Appears I just have the 1.5T image in my files.

You might try this one i know it's modified a little - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=523634.msg8228012#msg8228012
12237  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 1Ths Dragon Miner Raspberry PI Firmware on: February 27, 2015, 10:23:00 PM
It's been a while since I have used it (i believe it is 192.168.1.179 but that could be wrong).  https://www.dropbox.com/s/yz02suc4j24ium4/dragonboot-4BLADE-ENG.7z?dl=0

It is 4 blade with screen dragon.
12238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help, Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 crashes on start-up, no error pop-up on: February 27, 2015, 05:50:33 PM
I do not have the ability to go back in time on my computer unfortunately, no back up system of that nature, so that wouldn't help me, but thanks.

Do you have the private key where you could reinstall and import the key?
12239  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Feb 22 to March 9 diff thread with contest included. on: February 27, 2015, 05:47:10 PM
Not a huge jump so far:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    46,684,376,317
Estimated Next Difficulty:    48,430,052,314 (+3.74%)
Adjust time:    After 1319 Blocks, About 9.1 days

Also its nice to have the bump in price.  Hopefully it continues for a bit.

[We don't cut corners (e.g. embedded controller, etc) and we use dc2dc which means that the BOM is higher.]

And I commend you for that, but I can also see why you are leaning towards sticking to larger form-factors for the future, where you don't have to even consider cutting corners in order to stay competitive and turn a profit. One thing that was clear from your SP20's is that you care about the quality of your product. It's a shame that the hardware becomes obsolete so quickly.

Is there any particular reason other than wanting to stick to a single model, rapid deployment for data-centers that you would not consider a larger form factor 3rd gen miner that requires external PSU('s)?  For those on the small farm scale, it gives us an opportunity to save costs without being too much of a burden in setup.

I think the levels of support required for the home miners is also an issue, with people using myriad versions of psu's of variable levels of quality and the cost of just answering the support questions on home miners goes through the roof. Plus Israel isn't the cheapest place in the world to send stuff from. Plus they had a great niche with the rackmount 2U chassis miner, high density and great quality designed well for the DC. No-one was really doing anything like it. Whereas everyone was doing home miners and the competition is much fiercer and more cutthroat.

One of the biggest things is quality.   The SP20's are rock solid with the metal case and I love them.   I was running full blast since i got them.  Now I have underclocked them.  It is impressive to have such a wide range of power. 

Also with them I never have had to babysit.  It is pretty much set and forget until I want to change pools.
