13261  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How should I mine Bitcoin? Cloud or Hardware? on: October 24, 2014, 12:37:31 PM
I definitely do not want to spend over $100 for electricity. And since my apartment is small, noise doesn't suite me.

It's very easy to go over 100 if you are running miners.  What is your KWH price?

If your appartment is small chances are you will not like mining, as there is noise associated with most miners.  (There is a antminer C1 using liquid that will be interesting on noise).As far as price normaly cloud is higher then hardware if you have the electricity, and it's decent priced.   You can also look into hosting as with hosting you get are the owner of the hardware.

But either way 100 dollars is not hard to achieve with miners.

Do you have a price in mind? and does it fire fine?

I had the same question.  When you say "Work Project" does this mean it's a replica?

seems to be something else-- the pc shut down at with the client/ card was a t 70 degrees

80 degrees outside and in a garage is kinda hot if you are pushing the cards depending on exhust.  You will need to make sure you are not over heating them. 

If you have not already use risers to keep them away from each other.  Use a fan to help direct hot air away.   

I might also suggest doing ROI math as GPU mining might not bring in enough to justify even risers.  If not turn cards down don't OC high.

Is it possible? how demanding is bitcoind as a server?
side note: I would probably store the blockchain on a 64GB usb instead of the memory card

Yes a lot do use a raspberry pi as a form of cold storage.  You might think of a wallet that does not need the chain as you will not want to download new each time you use it.
13265  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: need help understanding bitcoin mixing on: October 24, 2014, 02:24:37 AM
Chances are you do not need it.  Unless you are really paranoid or doing something you don't want others to find out you will never need a mixer. 

You send coins to mixer -> it sends coins in no way connected to you to a address you pick.   Cost's a fee and make sure to use a trusted one if you do it since there is no way to pull coins back.
13266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Video cards overheating on: October 24, 2014, 01:06:35 AM
I have been mining vertcoin for weeks just suddently the cards are starting to overheat 102 f         could it be the motherboard, I have 3 cards msi 7950 and used them  one at a time and each one overheats. would appreciate some help.

Chances are it is not the motherboard.  It could be how hard you are pushing the cards.  Also ambient condition. What is your weather like?  Are you pushing the card's hard on OC? Are they using risers or do you have them all bunched up?
13267  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Corporate mining, the downfall of BTC? on: October 24, 2014, 12:54:41 AM
i have a bad feeling about  manufacters of hardware mining against there customers.  when btc gets bigtime, i see some type of regulation on  these company's, i hate regulation but these companys are out of control. greedy people that never gave a fuk about btc will destroy btc  ,thats if we dont counterattack these fukers. i am not smart enough to take this conversation any further, anyone else?

Its a free market, i'm sick of ppl asking for regulation while completely miss the root of the cause.

You will never can regulate this effectively even you have the law written up.

ppl will buy miner because they think there is money to be made. Simple as that.

I would say, smart ppl would take the risk more carefully.

i too hate regulation, i perfer anarchy, but  corparations get pretty dam corrupt, look at who runs the world today, elite-bankers- then they control the corporations. were eventully  going to have to face the corruption. regulation might have to be a last resort by default.which will suk , it goes against everything btc stands for. hopefully  the btc community has some tricks up there sleeves.

I don't think you can generalize all corporations as one.  Yes there are some that are corrupt and never will ship anything this is why you should avoid most pre-orders. 

Some companies will be fine.  Each person really needs to look into a company before sending them BTC.

You might think of not going down so many levels.   Use national charities.  Going down so many levels looks like lots of troubles.    Also could take just one from vote per month go by popularity.  Then no worrying about selecting by user.

Is it part of pools fees that go to charity? Or are you saying everything that is mined go to charities?
13269  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Corporate mining, the downfall of BTC? on: October 23, 2014, 08:57:02 PM
Here's why I think BTC is doomed to failure as a widely accepted payment type.

No one buys BTC on an exchange just to use them to make purchases other than for mining hardware. They will most likely just use a credit card for online or retail purchases. So where is the demand for BTC going to come from and how does it get to the next level of adoption if home mining is dead?

I've mined a significant amount of BTC over the course of 18 months. But I've also actually exchanged many of them to purchase new mining gear, pay bills and make other online purchase. But when I'm done mining, why would I continue to buy BTC on an exchange to use to make purchase at NewEgg, TigerDirect, etc. when it's much more convenient to just use a credit card? Where does the increasing demand for bitcoin come from if not from common people?

Yes, many people speculate on BTC and buy them on exchanges. But I don't think it's likely that these people actually will ever do anything with them other than selling them back to exchanges when/if they reach their target price.

So where does this legitimate popular demand for BTC come from? I just don't see widespread adoption coming anytime soon if home mining isn't available to the masses. Am I missing something obvious?

I would agree to a point i agree corporate mining is hurtfull.  Yes it helps keep hash rate big, but they are guaranteed to sell enough to pay massive running costs.

We are still VERY early to see what will happen with BTC.   It has lots of potential.  In a perfect world image it being accepted everywhere.  Can go to any store, any country.  No conversion fees, or different currency problems.   Will we get there?  Who knows its still early

I think there are lots of exciting possibilities, but no one knows where it will lead.
13270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Need guidance For mining on: October 23, 2014, 08:47:09 PM
Hey Folks,

I'm new in mining
I'd need some kinda help and guidance that how does this works?

I bought a Gigabyte GV-R795WF3-3GD AMD Radeon HD 7950(3gb) which i am expecting to receive by the 1st of next month

Will anyone let me know how much GH/s will it give me?
And what CPU specifications do i need to start mining.
A complete guidance would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
THA DisasteR

Sadly the GPU days are really over.  One will not do much.  CPU/GPU need you to do math but for almost all it is losing moeny to do it.

I suggest just using it for gaming, not to mine with it unless you happen to have "free power"

thank's for reply in http://clevermining.com/ i have better hashrate 250-260mh total. At this moment in wemineltc i have 78205 on a2mega 110mh/s :/

Not a problem looking at wemineltc they  look a little old as far as servers.  Clever has a lot more money going for it.  You can look at https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools to see how your pool ranks on being big.

Can you show a video?  It seems all i see is PC renderings.  If you really launch in 5 days I would just like to see a prototype running or something besides pc rendering.

I'm from Poland i use EU ASIC Only Server (1000 Locked Diff): stratum+tcp://asic1.wemineltc.com:3333 and i get
http://www.iv.pl/images/44882526583355270311.jpg

I have 2x Zeus 44mh/s , 1 x 30 mh/s, Gridseed set 42mh/s and a2 mega 110mh/s, a2 mega whetever pool i join is slowly :/ than 110mh/s

Once in suchpool i have 100mh and suprnova. Theoretically, this should be about 250-260mh and is 220mh / s (wemineltc) on coinotron I had 240mh / s Regards


Edit : i have second image http://www.iv.pl/images/48389080574969724082.jpg


Please help me! WUtility told 90mh/s AVG 110mh/s :/  http://www.iv.pl/images/48389080574969724082.jpg

Sounds like

You might try http://clevermining.com i know I have used it a decent amount with a few others (i tend to mine at multipools).  Look into the difficulty and try a few out.  There is a good explanation at clever on how to set it up in password http://clevermining.com/faq also make sure to mine to EU not US with it.

It sounds like you have the closeness down on pool.  Check different pools, and different difficulties.   If that does not do it I would contact seller and see what they say.  If you are getting 90MH that is almost like one blade is not there, so might make sure gui sees all blades aswell.
13274  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bitcoin Miner Now Going To Focus on Trading Instead on: October 23, 2014, 05:17:36 PM
now, one could invest and build a solar farm that charges a set of batteries capable of 3k or 4k watts and plug some mining rigs to it.  during the day, the sun provides the juice and at night the backup batteries.  if possible, build your own rigs.  put some dough together and buy the pcbs from the manufacturer in china.  Once the translation is handled, these folks are very friendly and helpful.  a local fabricator can build your rigs shelves or buy used networks shelfs.  build your own wiring schemes and use color cables to code which cable is for what.


Sadly solar to expensive to justify it for mining.  I think you are better off finding a place with lower price electricity.  If you are lucky you live in one of these places, but many are not this lucky.  The highest point I ever had was during GPU days and i was using 8500+ watts of electricity mining.   I have since sold off my GPU's and switched to asics and have used less electricity.  But the price of thousands of watts is just a huge setup cost.

If you have space and low priced electricity mining is still alive.  I am using winter to expand the free cooling you mentioned is very nice to mine with little money spent on heat extraction.

13275  Other / Off-topic / Re: Combine AT and ATX power supplies to upgrade a medical system on: October 23, 2014, 05:07:57 PM
I think you might have found the wrong forum.  This is mining hardware, not medical hardware.

As far as PSU's we cannot really recommend what to use without knowing what type of connectors and the number of each,  you also need to know the amount in watts needed.

Is it a PC, a Server?  What is it your working on.  
13276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: A2MEGA 110mh/s don't buy! on: October 23, 2014, 03:11:45 PM
Minereu do not lie, you have a lot of messages and even he admitted that Zeus does have a better machine. I've tried wemineltc ASIC port asic coinotron port (in this case at all kicking me 70mh / s) I am using the A2 mega with this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g8eg3goi11jkot4/AABbzkuI-dBTFX5sdqrRigMga?dl=0
Liteguardian asic port it's the same problem :/
Do you have any ideas what to do? Chips walk on 1200mh.

On suchpool.pw and suprnova i have 100mh/s for a moment :/

At this moment i change to stratum+tcp://asic1.wemineltc.com:3333 ane we see what's happends.

Are you mining with a pool close to you?   What country is miner mining from?
13277  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S4 Discussion and Support Thread on: October 23, 2014, 03:09:04 PM
Thank you to everyone who suggested setting difficulty in this thread on certain pools.  It seems to help and start fine tuning very quick after getting it Smiley.
13278  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: S3+ Bitmain Miner power arrangement on: October 23, 2014, 03:05:41 PM
Personally I have been using the RM1000.  No problem powering two.   Its also a very efficient PSU.   

My biggest thing is i prefer to go gold on power supplies even though it is higher then if you go with a bronze something else.
13279  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Looking for signature Campaigns on: October 23, 2014, 01:12:58 PM
newbs cant make cash this way

Newbies can get 4000 satoshi per post from Bitin.io and jr members can get 6000 satoshi per post from BitBiz.io.
It is not much, but it is a good start for new bitcointalk users.

I am sure it is easier to make a post than to solve dozens of captchas on faucets. Smiley

The farther up in rank you go the more pay it will lead to.  One thing to keep in mind is with it going up on activity only happens every 2 weeks.   

I'm doing a silverwallet one right now.  I wanted a physical coin, and they make a nice looking project.   I believe Senior member is lowest rank there are spots - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=801206.0

There are RPG's where you can earn bitcoins. I have seen one under the Project development section, called CoinRPG.

I also used to play mmorpg, but these days I am using my time to earn bitcoins. ^Laugh^

You can even earn bitcoins in MineCraft. ^smile^

CoinRPG (thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406675.0) is a bitcoin-themed RPG coins, but I don't think you can earn bitcoin from it.



The minecraft one i think is less then faucet level if i remember right.    Playing games and earning BTC is for most just a dream.
