Home mining isn't dead until the last home miner switches off their gear.
I am still mining at home.
Therefore home mining is not dead.
I'm home mining too, but I have free electricity. If I didn't, I'd sell the miner. You mean your parents is paying the bills? There are a few other places. I know during college i had a apartment with fixed electricity the max they could charge over was 25 dollars each person. I do agree that someone is paying for electricity there is no such thing as free. Someone paid the bill. And in most cases if you have "free" electricity it is not built for a lot of miners a few k watts would be hard if not impossible to do. |

GPU mining is a history since last year October, a single USB miner can easily be faster than a world fastest GPU while consuming less power and emitting less heat. My advice is, sell those GPUs and either save them or spend them on BTC. Try as much as possible, don't buy ASICS, unless they are proven and will ship on time or you have very cheap/free electrical rates.
I would agree. Avoid most pre-orders. Only a few companies can be trusted, majority seem to have many many setbacks. Some even lucky if they ship. |

Selling S3 + coupons for .01 BTC each. This is less then 30 percent of what they are worth! Get a little extra savings. These are good till 11-13.
Available - 10
Have rented lots of miner rentals, have positive feedback. If you want to use escrow it needs to be well known one (example ognasty). Escrow is allowed but you must arrange it and are responsible for escrow costs.

I have a extra unit I could sell if someone wants it, It would be for the same amount I paid which was $600 in bitcoins
In $ - yes...in BTC...no...  Cheers, ZiG I will also take the exact amount I paid in bitcoins which was 1.59 BTCWhy do you want to sell now if L1 is coming first with X11 and scrypt-N. Will this mine X11 for sure? No. Bitmain has always been fair on sales the first batch of S3's not all hit advertised spec so they gave a discount to all. I predict they would do something for customers if it does not do x11, etc. They have a lot of capital so I'm hopeful of them making it as advertised. |

Hardware is a better option depending on your electricity price and if you have no vat.
If you have to do could I would look into hashnest. But i far prefer having equipment myself.

Hi guys last year i started to get into this when it jumped up to 1100 or so, and was giving some btc to a guy lmontrose that was going to get the new machines, well i just came back from a deployment, looks like he failed and made off with some of my btc
But i would like to know how, if its worth mining and what are the best ways to do it now, i have not even looked at whats out in the last year.
im guess GPU are not worth it anymore, and last i heard 3 was fastest, not sure, and now that btc is really cheap are the machines still expensive?
thanks for any help
Machines are far more powerful then GPUs. Both sha and scrypt have been overtaken by asics. I would say a lot has to do with electricity price. Currently GPU is dead for most I know i pulled mine quite a bit back and sold them off. |

I would say just mine using rig rental companies like NiceHash or BetaRigs.
You avoid the upfront cost and get get mining power when needed.

Does renting rig give you a profit? I tried and get nothing back much.. I think it depends on what you rent. I think Scrypt can be profitable if you hold. But on SHA bitcoin is most profitable so often its hard for profitable rental. Why not just buy the coin directly and hold? You can do both..... I enjoy mining. I'm lucky to have lots of space and not bad electricty price. If I can roi on equipment.... why not do it? I realize margins are very very slim for some if you have vat, high electricity, etc. But i like doing both. |

Some of the questions I see above are out of context. But I'll try my best to clear up the confusion... 1. Solar powered mining does not mean our mining firm is 100% solar powered. But sun light has a % of contribution in running not only our mining machines, but also some of our office appliances. This helps us in saving a % of power cost. This is a nice read regarding this http://blog.cex.io/solar-bitcoin-mining/. If anyone is interested, please go through it. 2. As we have stated before in other posts as well, we have not purchased mining power at any other so-called cloud mining company. We run our own mining facility and thereby able to allocate mining power to our investors as cloud. When investment gets added to an investor's portfolio, his mining power increases. There is an internal mapping for that. 3. We used to mine at multiple pools and have modified our software for a certain tweak to increase the chance of winning hashes. When we find a hash at some big pool, we dont submit it there. Rather we take it to a smaller pool where our hashing ratio is high. This improvised method has given us better return than usual and with increasing hash power its effectiveness is growing as well. That is why, we dont want to back out from the mining business. Rather finding a way to stay afloat even below 500. You realize that you're willfully admitting to performing block withholding attacks? That's not a software tweak. That's theft. Welcome to capitalism.
I'm not entirely sure what you're implying here. I wrote "Welcome to capitalism" in the context of a completely different discussion. In that discussion, the original poster was complaining that it wasn't fair that hardware manufacturers were also using their own equipment to mine. Here, the original poster has admitted to altering the mining software to not submit potential block-solving hashes at the pool on which they are found, but rather re-submitting them on another pool. Quite frankly, I'm not sure the poster is actually able to accomplish what he's stated. However, if he somehow has indeed figured out a way to cheat the system, then he's committing theft. Think about what he's saying he can do: 1) Mine on pool A, with 25% of the pool's total hashing power. Assuming no fees and straight PPS, he'd get 6.25 BTC from solving the block. 2) Mine on pool B, with 75% of the pool's total hashing power. Assuming no fees and straight PPS, he'd get 18.75 BTC from solving the block. 3) He finds a share on pool A that would solve the block, but somehow transfers that to pool B. 4) He's still going to get paid by pool A if some other miner on pool A solves a block. I don't believe point 3 is possible, but that is what he's claiming he's doing. If he truly is, then he's performing a block withholding attack on pool A and then getting a larger payout than he deserves from pool B. Personally i will believe it when i see it. One big reason is solving block is a very small chance. It's not likely to solve a block (I'm assuming he does not have a warehouse of miners). |

You might be able to sell it on forums to someone to fix. That is not going to be easy or cheap to get someone to do. A new blade sadly might be best solution. |

tried original firmware and emjde firmware.. same results  It's not sounding good on the blade sadly. With that we can rule out software problem. Only thing left is hardware. You could make sure it is not unplugged even switch cords from one blade to other to make sure it is the blade. If it turns out none of that works you can try to get a replacement blade but sadly i don't think they will go to cheap on the a2's. You might wait after L1's that is what i predect will cause a2's to go down a little more. There could be some others that will help it go down in price but i myself dont trust most of the preorder stuff. L1's are pretty much all im trusting at the moment. |

Time will depend on how many letters you want. Even if using a few graphics cards if you get to 8-9 letter ones your looking at possibly a lot of time.

Most likely you would be better off paying a good data center if your rates are to high. Solar investment is so much you cannot justify it with mining. Mining just uses to much electricity to be effective solar powered.

What would happen if all block chain copies get deleted at one time?
the truth is it's not possible but nothing is impossible for man..... There are copies out there saved. It would not have to start over but might lose some transactions in theory. But I agree it is a impossible thing to happen. |

yeah it was no fault of my own, they didn't include the fee by mistake or a fault in their system and now i gotta suffer.. so i'm guessing no one can choose to mine that specific chain for me? not sure if thats possible
With it already being send all you can do is wait. Chances are they did it to save BTC. It does not show double spend or anything bad that i see. With it thinking 6 blocks i would give it half a day or so. Hard to tell exact mining time for the blocks. |

i don't know how to reflash firmware, could you link me an how to please?
ty so much
Again use a 2nd card. We want to make sure you don't lose what you have. Get a second card i believe 8 GB for this. You will want to download original firmware from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=626327.msg6957861#msg6957861 . You can then use win32diskimager to load the image onto the card. Basically select firmware download and make sure to select SD card dont select C drive and write the image to new sd card. |

On this if you hover above the caution looking it shows it paid less then recommended transaction fee. With not paying the fee it can take much longer. |
|

how does this work with Coin.MX's wallet though? they control all of the withdrawing. They also have no idea what to do.
Can you link to transaction. It should show something if there was a withdraw. |
