I sent all 3 BURNT S7 hash blades out in February, and I still have not received a replacement miner. It caught fire around Christmas, their warranty/RMA service is a fucking joke.
Does not sound fun what timeline are we talking about early or late Febuary? Also what do they say if you ask questions showing you sent it so long ago? Just curious on that, but best of luck hope it ends up being soon on getting back. |

I am 90% certain that Yan at BlockC can sell you a "USB dongle". My recollection is that they are about $10-15. Poke around on their website and you can almost certainly order what you need.
Yan has always been a good guy. So I think if you contact BlockC you will be able to order from them. But I have not tried personally always gotten with miner from them, never ordered seperate. If not Ehash still official source sells them - https://ehash.com/product/avalon-usb-converter/ . Just would be higher shipping coming from China if you are in US. |

Don't buy from them, if you don't like them.
No point in whining about it.
Vote with your money.
Even if they sell I think it's a bandaid so I don't see this as being huge savior for them. They honestly would have to get other manufactures gear I think with money to make a difference...... which might look odd on their report to investors. So I'm not sure they are willing to do this. And SP50... I still don't see happening without a redo of chip's going in it. And I don't think they ever were able to make those chips even. So again I'm not sure feasible. |

Let's continue with BTC stuff, here is mine: ...
Looks great! What's the temperature inside the cabinet? The highest temperature they have got is around 65 deg Celsius. Summer is coming, let's see that what is the situation then. Open the doors during the summer  Sadly it's getting to be summer time for me to. It means turning all of my fan equipment up and having higher CFM's pushing heat. Since I have made it through a summer before with current mining area it is not so much guessing this year. But everyone can count on prices to go higher if your cooling your gear in summer. If your running with 10K+ watts and stuck with regular fans (evaporation cooling does not work with your weather climate) my thread will show the process I went through - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1020826.0 . I was kinda guessing and making changes until I got it to where I was happy. |

an USB miner good for just passing time and gaining some mining experience. you won't get enough profit with an USB miner. better that don't invest your money on it.
And depending on what setup is you really can learn a lot off of them. Most modern miners are plug and chug, you enter numbers and it works. With stick miners you have a option of using a RPI and getting to use a variant of Linux. If you install the mining software and run it by command line and tweak it up and down. I think you will learn far more about mining then buying one you enter it into and it just goes. But as said above stick miners are to high to ever make a profit. |

How did you arrive at 11.16 cents per kWh? Is that an aggregate cost analysis of a 24 hour period?
I laid this out in another post previously -
The variable charges on a typical bill for many North American utilities are:
electricity (time of use) charge
distribution charge
transmission charge
loss adjustment (usually a fixed multiplier - mine is 4.8%)
regulatory charges
city, state and or federal VAT or sales tax (anywhere from 0-24%)
metering charges
advanced metering surcharges (if you're lucky enough to have one of the newer remote controlled meters)
nuclear decommissioning fund charges
The stated cost per kWh non-peak for me is 8 cents but my average cost over the month is 18.6 cents per kWh (that also includes the fixed costs such as a customer surcharge and paper billing charge. I think I could save a couple bucks and the planet if I were to opt for electronic billing).
Long story short - I haven't been able to run a miner that would have been profitable for well over a year.
With 18 sadly you will not be running a miner ever again, at least long term. Might get to run a few weeks once next gen hits, but you would be counting on selling it to hit ROI, which is hard to do. But OP's does not sound like to far off, I'm in us with regular residential electricity and am under 10 cent's. I will he honest it's been harder and harder OP. I had to get rid of all previous gen gear, just sold for far more then what I would have got running it. You will have to always have the best and most efficient gear, and ROI depends on selling. So you can possibly mine... but I would honestly suggest against it unless you like hard battles. |

The charts are still looking a little peaky, but it's obvious that a lot of that hash that was coming on and off has stayed on now. I think this is really interesting to watch as the halving gets closer. I think it's going to be ~flat this time, but we'll see.
I'm hoping for less then 5 on change, but it's hard to say one big batch being plugged in could have a decent effect. The bad thing I have noticed is we seem unable to stay at 430. I'm not sure if autosells are hittiing on 430 or what. We have hit temporary even above but always are endinng back in 420's. Hopefully that changes. |

So Day 2 was -4.17% with 138 blocks however this Morning is off to a Brisk start with a lot of short Blocks which has pulled the Period to date Run Rate, 9 Hours in, up to +2.69% To early to judge if this is increased hash or just variance? We will see....  Rich I'm going to guess increase... but i could very well be wrong. And I know it's still early but for what its worth current bitwisdom: Bitcoin Difficulty: 178,678,307,672 Estimated Next Difficulty: 188,913,410,214 (+5.73%) Adjust time: After 1572 Blocks, About 10.7 days Hashrate(?): 1,316,217,793 GH/s Good news is price seems to be doing decent job on staying on 430. So Even if we get a jump and that is new base for a bit.. that is good to go up. I still want to see 450 though. But then again if we hit 450 I would want 500 so guess I'm never happy . |

Please quote some of my posts that are spam. I guarantee you that my posts are constructive and on topic. Also, there is no rule about how many posts you can do in one day.  Here is a quick link for others to post's - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=671028;sa=showPostsThere are not all that bad, there are some smaller posts on a few. But some good posts in there to. So I don't think you will get user in trouble. And on being bought I am not a fan at all, but it's not rule breaking. So I think there is really no rules being broken. |

I see...you have taken from an old topic and put it now out of context. ...I just said here: People are paranoļac...if they see investment or cloudmining somewhere they only see huge ponzi shemes.
This as well can help newbies...because it is true. My true words helps more newbies that all the wrong words i can read on this forum. Here on this forum are writen so much wrong things that newbies are confuse and at the end they are wrong them selves. Please stop posting trying to go in a circle and sound legit. This is meta and this should be about signatures taken away from neg trust users. As seen that most likely will not happen. But I think showing trust in all forums specifically beginner is a good idea. I used you as example due to numbers you released, I did not make them up. I did not get some out of context, numbers doe not lie. If you want to prove your not ponzi pay investors and show they made a profit. But meta is not place to fight about your "cloud" being a ponzi or not. This thread should be about taking way's for ponzis to promote away not something back and forth on you saying your legit. |

There are honestly to many topic repeating same thing "HOW TO EARN BTC HERE IN BITCOIN.ORG", "[TUTORIAL] Newbies Earn Bitcoins Here!", "How can I earn money in this forum?", "How to make money on bitcointalk?", "how can i earn through it". That is just 5 of the front page topics and these are all IN A ROW. So same topic.... repeated over and over.
I agree, maybe it should be stickied at one point because this subsection in combination with all the signature campaigns is quite succeptible to abuse. Asking questions is always good but like you say, it's the same one question asked over and over.. All these questions or posts are posted by the users just joined the forum or just started using bitcoin. Basically they know nothing, and they also don't read or surf the forum before asking a question, they just join the forum and post their question without reading previous threads where their questions are already answered by many people in different ways. But anyone technical enough to use/know about bitcoin I would argue should be able to use a search. The forum has search capability, along with google. Those two searching will bring very good info to so much info. And no matter what topic it can find it for you. I don't think expecting a search before posting is big deal. The amount of these threads on how to gain money free, just have taken up more and more of beginner forum. Look above 5 in a row OP just had to look on first page and there was already good threads with lots of info. So even without search he should have seen it with 5 that were in a row. |

It can be hard to find that little reset button with a paperclip. You have to make sure you found it - you'll hear a subtle, little "click" when you find it and press on it. You sure you found it?
It's not always behind the hole to. Like when you say it can be hard to find he might need to use paper clip and go in a circle within hole trying to find it. Once he does find it though I would also ask him to make sure he's holding long enough. Some just press it and think it resets you have to hold longer then a instant push to do the reset I think hes going for. Also don't know his firmware but one had a issue where you could not reset... so hope hes not on that firmware. yeah yeah don't worry done it plenty of time.... I think the board is corrupted... The board could have a problem, I once had one that messed up during a update and electricity was lossed. I bought a new S3+ IO board programed with firmware since mine was bad flash. If you have a bad flash or something it can be done with serial to usb cable I believe. And there really was one firmware I believe reset button did not work so if you had that firmware it could be a issue there. Been a while since I messed with S3's. |

I'm a little confused about the 16A requirement for the power cable. Is this something that can be done at home with normal 3 prong US type outlets, or will I need an adapter/fuse/some other thing in order to use the S4?
It is due to amount of electricity the miner uses. If you use a very cheap wire and wrong AWG it can melt and cause fires from it. I only once made this mistake with a extension cord and it was to big of guage and not good enough for a S4... I smelled melting so I learned a good lesson. Bought much nicer (and higher priced) extension cord. I got lucky then. But get a good power cable do not go cheap on S4's. It honestly is a safety issue. |

Asking for donation in here are considered begging and it is not allowed in the forum. Most people takes advantage of these donation thinggy so I understand why people in here don't like it.
On the other hand I think you can post your donation link in your signature or in your personal message space like what I did.
In signature is passive though it appears with other posts. If you allow donations to be asked for via posts we would have TONS of threads of utter crap asking for BTC. Sadly most of this would be fake stories, there might be a few real ones but would be so abused. Some forum topics like beginner I think would be horrible if they allowed it. So allowing in signature is a way to let people put it and not have a forum full of posts. They most likely will get no donations so it is not really a big thing. |

*note edited look above for full post it just is getting very long. I just see and understand that you have understood absolutly nothing about my system.
You are the same kind of people who "red trusted" me.
All people who have taken the risk to invest real satoshi in my system have understood that it can take long time to get profit.
That know that they are now more or less owner of the system.
They have taken risk,but believe me less risk than me,because I have spent more cash and more time to create this system.
20 years was of course just an example.
I have not negged you as I do not have a stake in it. I understand numbers, and I got the numbers from you. So far you have paid very little of your invested amount. I am not making stuff up like you try to make it sound. And I got numbers from you... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=852857.msg13847251#msg13847251 Total accounts:212 accounts.

You have paid .046 at that time and not paid .33 so a HUGE amount not paid. I consider it ponzi if you put money in and it never comes out. My hope is I prevent new money from coming into your "cloud" investment until you pay much more of what you already owe. For cloud mining you really need to research the company. Sadly there are a lot of scam's out there. Its really does not take long to get it down to a small few that I personally would trust. As a general rule if it sounds to good to be true chances are it is. I honestly think he forgot he posted those numbers himself. As in another thread he asked me where I got numbers. But above is a perfect example of why cloud mining get's a bad name. In his own numbers he has paid 9 percent of invested money back. That is HORRIBLE for investors less then 1/10 on initial investments overall. There are legit cloud mining systems like hashnest that people can use. Now no profit is guareneteed but you at least stand a fair chance with hardware being real and company not being a argued ponzi. And I could be wrong I don't know all of his investment as he talks in circles. I just think if you mention u2cloud... most will assume cloud due to name. Also paying out less than 10 percent in released numbers is crazy horrible for an investment. |

I think u didn't read the whole thread.If u have ever used uber u would know using a referral code isnt illegal because uber itself sells code for marketing.Regarding ban evasion that pretty lame to blame the whole thing because being a new member certain rules I didnt follow,bcoz I knew but Mods are well aware of how the forum works.How they can independantly ban someone for no reason at all.Sorry or the strong hold here but I have equal right to appeal as any other member of this forum.The message is straight : If I wasn't banned at all I wouldn't have created a new account.If I'm not unbanned I would simply leave the forum for good and ascertain how monopoly rules this forum.
Regards
PS: I believe bitcoin is free people currency.Hate to know how the very popular forum of the free world economy is so non-judgemental.
But you sold accounts to uber yes? Can you prove these accounts used a legal source? You can name off possibilities, but unless you prove they were done with a legal way it is assumed cracked sadly due to people who were selling cracked codes. Most logical people think your method was cracked accounts. If were from codes they sold from marketing show emails, logs, proof it was legal. Ban evasion is far from lame. It shows you think your above the law, and cannot follow rules. You knew the risks and went for it.... so you will get no tears over being banned for evasion. The fact you still think you were banned for no reason shows you have not learned, which is the goal of a ban. Please know that I'm not selling uber accounts here.I'm selling referrals to invite codes to owner's account. Proof that they are legit : *removed big pic A picture of that is not proof. You would need to prove what you sold back then used such a method. Pointing out a possible method does not mean you used it. Your friends post makes it sound far different. Long story short, a friend of mine is selling uber free rides into people's account and is banned after he just posted a single thread.Is it against the rule because I don't see any rules against selling something at a low price.If I m wrong then I would be greatful if any mod can enlighten me.Thanks.
It does not say free rides up to X amount... so it would make most lean twords carding or cracked accounts. Also you point to something that adds credits to your account, not others accounts. But you would really need to show accounts you tried to sell or did sell and show info within them using that method to prove you did nothing illegal. This is due to you already being banned for it (possibly among other things). And even if you get it proved you did use that method which most would see as unlikely. You have the ban evasion. So it's pretty much a losing battle with so many strikes against you. But best of luck that is between you and people far above me. |

Besides faucets, without any special skills at all, is there any other way?
I'm going to guess you are a troll with new account to post this. To earn decent you need skills or resources. So you can invest if you have resources. But if you think your going to get rich for free... no you will not. But read through thread there are MANY way's to make a little. Just keep expectations in line with small gains without skills/resources. |

I still wonder what they will do with space though the more I think about it. If they sell miners a empty data center is not very profitable.
good point maybe they bit off more then they can chew ... now they have to sell it off to pay off everyone including the building/s if they own it/them.
or the SP50 is ready and they are keeping it a really big secret which is hard to believe but a possibility.
or they plan to jack up the Diff with the SP 50 so high home mining will finally be dead and no one will sell to home users including bitmain or will but you would have to buy a 100 k worth of stuff and set up your own in home data center not with one to 10 or more miner in your home I'm talking were you would have to add a building to your home and would need a permit to do it and run it or rent a building some place for your own data center, which at that point you would need to do, then once home mining is finally dead take over the network or try to, at that point bitcoins could become worthless.
can't say other wise or understand why anyone would want that or do know why but don't understand why it really doesn't hurt them, who knows
That's another possibility a evil one but possible.
One thing I thought of if they are not getting SP50 anytime soon (which nothing shows it being close). The SP35 is 0.66W/GH/s on efficiency. If you look at a S7 they are "Power Efficiency: 0.25 J/GH (at the wall, with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp)". They could sell off and put in S7's and save a fortune in electricity. I don't know if they are that desperate but just looking at efficiency it makes sense to get newer gen. Or even next gen from Bitfury and fill up a data center with it once it hits market a even bigger savings. I thought of that to sell what they have and buy more efficient miners but i was thinking the a6 there more stable. they can't let it set bills will pile up and drain bank accounts fast.even in china if that's were it's all based at. It makes sense financially with getting 1/2 better efficiency. So cut electricity costs in half would be HUGE on a large operation. But for them to buy A6 or S7 would kinda be giving up in way's. But they might not publish it. The reason of S7 was coupon price I was thinking. A large mega mine size it's hard to tell what they would get on pricing but I would guess pretty good. |

There are only two ways to earn it free, faucets and captcha solving work but both are very time consuming and the payy outs are too low , but its good for a new users of bitcoins.
Earning bitcoin fast and free is really hard. Bitcoin earning through faucets and captcha is time consuming. Only hope to earn in a short time is gambling which has got the potential to give big profit as well big loss. If you are good in gambling then you can try your luck in it, but majority of time you will loose, but if you are lucky then you can really make it big. A lot play dice games though and there is no being good to it, all random luck tilted twords house. Hinze house always wins saying. But I think a lot of the most popular gambling sites are dice. But you right sports betting, or cards could have better odds if you have "skill". But I think its a still a way to loose long term. |

Tips to newbies: Go to walmart or a goodwill store and see if you can get it for a bargain.
Then see if you can sell it on ebay well enough, then post it on here. But either or if it sold on ebay now you can go buy btc on localbitcoins now lol.
You laugh but you really can do this it HIGHLY depends on towns some are much better then others. I know someone who regularly hit's up stores like this and they get HUGE bargins. They focus on toys for their kids and have gotten them great toys for cheap. If your town is a good one for this you really could flip fast profits. They keep them for kids but they always amaze me when I ask about recent finds. And the people donating in a lot of cases get tax write off's so they win to if they are no longer using items. |
