If your not comfortable hire an electrician.
Also the biggest advice I can give you, run your outlets at 240V this decreases then thickness of wire needed, the amount of amps and the heat generated given a set amount of watts.
Example: 20A @ 240V = 4800W if you run 120V you would need 40A for the same wattage and much more expensive installation.
Good luck.
If you have hesitation's get a electrician. Make sure you have enough cooling (exhaust the heat out). How many miners and which miners are you planning on? |

I agreed to do this because I was allowed to add my own questions. I choose to keep the companies name out of this.
Unfortunately you've not been told the whole story - there is a very, very specific agenda these polls are being used for hence the homefield questions. And unfortunately that agenda and the way its being played out is incredibly shady. But of course that's not something I am able / willing to reveal. What I'm trying to say is the thing which this industry needs the most is transparency, and the events that have transpired today are anything but that. Well then this bears a legit reason for concern. As does Spondoolies questions on your trustworthy list having 2 companies as 1 and 2 when they no longer sell to home miners. I am not looking to be played by you or my employer for this polling. To some degree I feel : DzCoop-Round 17- Black Arrow played me GAW-Zen-Paycoin tried to play me but I stopped quicker and told others to do so. I really do not want this to happen even if I do not get any payments for this thread at all. I really rather an effort to be honest then a choice to be secretive. So I did mention the companies listed and the first 5 questions are from the employer not me. I also am going to post more questions to poll. As suggested by people on this thread. I really rather this to be an effort to be honest then a choice to be secretive. MY choice to not reveal the employer is my choice. Dogie you made it an issue and I respect that. I want the polls to have been finished before the sponsor of the thread is revealed. So on Feb 7th I will post the results of the polls and name the company that sponsored me to do this. I will be adding 3 more questions later tonight. I have to admit I am curious what company is behind it. But no matter who is behind it there seems to be a lot leaning to the same manufacture. I think the companies fighting for customers is good for miners. We all know it's really between two companies on current gen in my eyes for home miners. *EDIT I should add I personally like this thread and asking these questions. Should be interesting to see. |

What is the situation as far as US taxes go for bitcoins?
Best answer is ask a CPA in your area. I have heard it both ways. I would guess proper answer depends on how much you make of "profit". |

It was nice to see a negative move and BTC gain some on value. Hopefully trend continues.

1 BTC will always = 1BTC, regardless of whether it's worth $0 or $10,000/coin
Lolz, you are true... the value of 1 BTC will always be... 1 BTC... @OP, What has it to do with the price except if traded in highs and lows to buy and sell? It is true though. The coin is worth what market is wiling to pay. Theoretically you can it could go to zero.... sure. But it would lose miners at zero. So you would have a problem there to. But needless to say I don't think 0 will happen. |

It's looking a lot better now. The 190-200 dollar coin price just makes mining hard. At current price I can actually mine feeling ok. I hope it goes up more but either way were doing a lot better now then a week ago.

I want to get my one problematic C1 fixed. If I tighten the fill hole on top of the pump it will start leaking and build so much pressure and possibly blow the loop. If I keep the fill hole open, no leaks. What is the easiest way to troubleshoot and find out if this system has a leak or a small hole somewhere sucking in air? Air HAS to be getting into the system somehow. I'm willing to run, if possible, the entire miner out of the black box, but there seriously is a problem. For warranty purposes the only thing I could do is tighten the fill hole and then when it starts to build enough pressure and make noise I'll record a small video showing me opening the fill hole.
Is there anyplace the coolant can leak out while inside the aluminum block, or just in the front where they connect with that little rubber hose?
I could be wrong on this so Dogie please confirm. But I believe the block should not have a spot to leak out. The two holes should be it on where it allows coolant out. |

I"m 50/50 on it. I have an order in, and have been communicating with the owner quite a bit. I'm doubtful/hopeful.
What is giving the 50 positive? I just don't see any positive unfortunately. And I wish I am wrong as I want a new scrypt miner. |

Recently had some business and was gone for a week. Great stability ran over a week on default settings. No "baby sitting" needed.
Also it has finally got colder again... so should be able to do electricity used at higher freq and speed achieved.

BTC price is now well over $300 per coin as I type this. What a ride......  One heck of a ride indeed. Very happy to see this. Hard to do any long term planning with this BTC trend. Around 100 dollars up or so in a week. |

Hey. I am having problems with my A2 terminator. Only one of the 6 modules are turning on and I cannot figure out the reason why.
I have replaced the power supply thinking it was the initial problem, was not it.
Tried about every configuration possible but not luck.
Anyone be able to help ?
I think it is something to do with the data cable.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
That is a lot of modules to lose. Have you tried switching working module cables to others and see what happens? What about trying another SD card with firmware on it to make sure not a software issue? |

How can I use a vanity address as my main address  This is a bad idea. Satoshi himself explained that for increased security and privacy you should use a new bitcoin address for every transaction. As an additional firewall, a new key pair should be used for each transaction
True that reusing addresses does harm your privacy and slightly harm your security, it is not advised. But AFAIK, it still doesn't pose any risk to your bitcoin unless there are problems in your transaction signatures or ECDSA algorithm, or those on-chain gambling sites would have been gone. Main risk i see is ones who use a site to get them. I just hate to trust others in creating a vanity address.. It is worth firing up a video card or two if you still have them to do it yourself then import into favorite wallet. I would agree with others with not using it to hold your whole worth. |

Well if we can do the -5% or -6% drop this time.
Then have a slow drift up in price to just under 300 it is good for a lot of miners.
I would agree a negative would be very nice. And the price is getting a lot better then the low 200's. At 200 a coin I was having to start a new plan for some gear I planned to ride out during winter. Luckily it appears I will be doing good through winter if this continues. Even at around .09 cents for electricity some machines were awful tight margins on running at 200. |

it seems to good to be true.
You have it right there. They have been showing a rendering for months. Pushed back on delivery. I have been absent a week so I could have missed something, but last I know they have not shown a single prototype, parts, chips, etc that you would expect with a product that should ship soon. |

Great coins. My pictures don't quite do it justice. But hopefully my new camera will . Should have some pics over next few days, have been extremely busy and did not have time to get to it yet. |

Bitcoin is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. It is not a gold/silver backed coin.
It is a investment, one with more risk and reward then typcical ones. If you want to be safe get government bonds. Never risk more then you can afford to lose. That being said I'm a long term holder.

Interesting article. I had family come in and it is amazing to see some of the myths people think.
One myth I would include is it's not a coin just for "darknet". BTC seems to get a bad name to some because of what most likely is a small percentage of users use it for.
