It could I would get rid of the crap they include with most computer's.
Also I would still put a good anti-virus on it and malaware protection before moving in.

Thanks I appreciate it. Last I checked we has 27 R9 290's available to use for mining. I just need to know if its best to mine Scrypt mining Litecoins or bitcoin or something else.
Forget about bitcoins with GPU. There are two approaches: Mine something "stable" like litecoin, sell them as you mine them, this would give a stady income. or Find somekinda altcoin that have potential to rise in value, mine a bunch of them and sell them when price a high (this is more speculation than mining, but have worked for many). . Basically you cant mine straight scrypt asics have taken it over. I think you will find GPU disappointing. If you are paying electricity you will lose more then you make. I had to pull the plug on 8500 watt worth of GPU's a while back just because I was going to lose money. You can do it, but you would be better off with a nice ASIC if you truly have electricity you don't care about. |

My laptop is a state of the art ThinkPad and only puts out a whopping 38MH/s... so if you get more than that, consider yourself lucky. Keyword: Laptop - A very finite and compact computing environment, faster cards are too big for today's laptops. To save space, they cram multiple critical components on one card. I run nearly 200 watts for that little hash power and I can't even play my games nor conduct business properly. The only way to increase hashrate is changing to a newer video card. Unfortunately, laptops builders often solder the video card and mobo together; making upgrades completely impossible. The best thing you can do is purchase external video cards but at that rate, look at Bitmain's U3  Sorry but laptop technology is mainly for extensive business use, and general gaming, not industrial use or expert gaming. You might get a much higher hashrate on a AlienWare, which are gaming centric laptops. Happy (mini) Hashing! PS: Following the Pioneer trail (CPU Mining) is what makes great new miners  PPS: I also said I'd only ever mine with a CPU but now have 6TH/s, it's an addictive hobby... Sadly he will figure out this about laptops. It's not just bad for them, it's a very small hash rate. |

No one card is a drop in the bucket on scrypt.
Do some ROI but you will gain very little coins.

Ok you trust btc jam for invest edit i am found havelock site is good for invest 122$ or up in this site
Look into scams a lot of bad loans out there. |

I only suggest doing ROI math. It might have a GPU able to mine depending. If not your down to CPU mining.
I know you don't want to hear it, but laptop mining is not the best thing to do.

This is unicorn. No way getting 2.4 T from 1.65 kw with A1 chip I suspect it might be even rare animal the famous 2.4 T AMT coin miner Sure it could, A1 chips have excellent low power modes, its just that everyone's been selling them at nominal / turbo clock speeds. I have yet to see any "low power" A1 based design that gets anything better than ~75-.8w/gh, on the newest model dragons, I think doing 1.5TH for 1100-1200w? You are correct 1.5th for a little over 1100 seems to be only massed made under clocked. They didnt show the back but i think there is a good chance this is the 2 th model with 2 PSU's. |

Dogie can you please get a "Uploaded by Notlist3d" beside the SD image I uploaded? I would appreciate it! And thank you if you do. |

Incase this helps anyone.. I had a problem with 1 machine, no GUI, stops hashing etc, thought it was power supply, then today it wouldn't even hash after rebooting. So re-flashed with the image Mr. notlist3d uploaded (CHEERS  ) Fingers crossed its working as it should now. It can help to change the network and pool setting directly from the image before you put the card back in the machine. Seems like SD cards are getting corrupted after writing either network or pool settings. Glad it sounds off to a good start! That was goal of uploading Hopefully it is like mine. After I flashed it was night and day. All the random problems went out after reflashing the SD. This is part of the reason I suggest trying it before putting screwing top back on. It just becomes a pain those 10 screws over and over. You can set the top of case on without screwing it when testing to make sure it works. |

Hey OP, I got an answer as to why the difficulty was slowed down last jump:  It was said to be 5MW facility...... I guess that makes you.... wrong again huh? Oh wait.... you're never wrong. Infact you should predict next difficulty jump to be 0-30%. You can never be wrong then. I am not entirely sure what happened here, but I don't see any real reason why they would have to take all these miners offline. I would think they would surely have some kind of backup facility these miners could be moved to, as it appears that only the "shelves" collapsed and the miners appear to be in good condition The reason of taking offline would be problems in each one. There is impressive picture in another forum of building during fire. With these being in there it would be hard to find any that were not touched by the fire. I have a feeling since entire building went there is a good chance components burnt aswell in each. |

Why there is no firmware for C1 at Bitmain's website?..
They don't usually publish the stock firmware, but there as an SD image of it in my 2nd post. Any chance I can get a "Uploaded by Notlist3d" beside the SD image I uploaded? I would appreciate it. |

I opened today the last C1 package, and what a surprise. bitmain sent to me miner with the coolant and it had leaked out.
Are you saying coolant was inside the miner? Or they sent like a supply of coolant? |

not worth! we have negative roi on everything and you come up with more costs in the electric bill!
Is their anything that make roi? Depends on electricity price. But no matter what the margins are not big enough for hobby miners to buy cabinet like that or immersion. I wish they were I would love to have my miners in cabinets like that. The big data centers use lots of air. Just would cost to much to add these costs no matter size of mining operation. |

I enjoy reading your difficulty threads. Anything to get a insight I'm all for. I wish it was a closer range, seems like very large range this week compared to past.

My post install advice:
The starting IP should be 192.168.1.99
Get a nice screw driver you will be opening and closing case (10 screws per miner) to plug in pump, etc.
Have a little bowl or something for all the screws it's easy to drop the small screws
Test it with top of case off, to make sure it's working. If you have problems taking case on/off adds up.

As a point of reference, I have two C1s up and running for ~4.5 days. Both are stable at stock. GUI on one is 1005GH/s the other 973GH/s (one bad chip on this one); Pool reports 1.03TH/s (  ) and 949GH/s respectively. I have two and winter air for cooling. One is hitting 1050 and 1030. Had problem with bad sd on one. But once flashed with good it works great. Used rm-1000 on both. Working great. |

I highly suggest not doing this. Digital ocean is using CPU's.
CPU days have been over a while, most are GPU if not asic. If you "have" to use DO VPS i highly suggest using a coin asics do not do.

He is a bit of a optimist but that .2w/ghs is much dreamy! like 2016 dream!
There is a few generations left before this. The thing they can do is find lowest price electricity, and possibly with cool to cold ambient. I think location of mining center is something that will be a determining factor in some operations. If they find perfect place they can use that for generations. |

This has to be a troll. Well done. You sure got everyone to read this and get a response.

I don't like so much your investment, awful rest. Consider the idea to invest in PBMining, which is a good cloudmining platform !
Please tell us more. I think GAW is bigger by far. What makes PBMining better? Do they have proof of not being Ponzi? I personally don't like mining in the cloud. To much trust in certain companies. Some sure are great others are not. |
