My a2 is currently under a rental contract, once that ends in a couple of hours I will check and report back here later this evening.
I have minera installed on an sd card but can not figure out the ip or a way to log into the machine once installed. Download Angry IP Scanner. That can help.you. After you find the IP, You can SSH into it with the username pi and password minera. Then after logging in type sudo su to get root access. Also can open up connected devices to your router. it will show connected devices no need to scan that way. |

With asking this question, be careful. You most likely need to do the paperclip trick It involves electricity.

Wow!
Thanks for the answers guys,
I wasnt sure, now I think I won't buy any...
I'll try to invest/trade in altcoins instead, hopefully not the wrong ones as usual.
Thanks again, Appreciate it.
I wish it was the old days where you got some GPU's and it made profit but sadly scrypt has changed alot. If you want to mine I dont want to scare you away from it. Do some ROI math with straight BTC machines. You can always take that BTC and invest in alt's you like. |

You should sell your mining hardware and buy bitcoins with the gain, in my opinion you will earn much more coins in this way.
It all depends. If you are lucky to have cheap electricity and lots of space... and can mine with profit.... why not? Most don't mention it but you can do both trade and mine. Yes mining is dead for most on GPU/CPU. But depending on electricity asic mining is very much alive. |

Thanks was good for a laugh. I worry about the orphan blocks now  |

I love scrypt, but it is true straight btc miners are easier to calculate roi with. Scrypt is more long term.

Most of the time it is mining or buying btc directly.
You can sell goods or services aswell.

Part of it this is a very broad question. Depending of if starting capital is 1k or 10k, etc. There are so many factors it's hard to outline without a set plan of a few things.
Money, Space, Electricity.... etc.

Would depend if scrypt or bitcoin.
Scrypt depending on machine it is not bad depending on electricity costs. Bitcoin that would be very low.

Looking at 2nd screen shot it appears something more then pool is wrong most likely if your getting 1.6 T shown on a 1T machine. I would open up machine and make sure all connectors to blades are connected well. Look make sure it does not look bad on a blade... etc.
If that does not work then try downloading a image known to work and put it on a 2nd sd card (I don't like using same SD card as it gives you a backup if something goes wrong).

Personally I really like to know there is hardware I own. Hashlet is very new. We will know in a few month's if it's amazing or what will happen. I hope it turns amazing even though i have no stake in it atm. Because of how easy they make it seem. At the end you don't have a miner to sell move to a cheaper electricity center
is the downside.
A lot will have to do with "zen pool" and if it can keep the rates coming in that they currently do.

Right now the Zenpool is paying out 0.00065 BTC/Mh which is twice as high as a payout per MH as other multipools such as clevermining.com. If you only buy 1 MH then your going to have to wait a few days to withdrawal because the network fee that they force you to pay is 0.0002 BTC, which is essentially 30% of a single mining day. If you're going to buy some hashlet power you should check out some of the discounts that I listed in this thread to at least save yourself some money. Also since we don't know the long term outcome of being able to supposedly mine scrypt coins faster than any other multipool out there, I'd suggest not investing too heavily in these miners. However, with that being said the 1MH/s miner currently would only take 46 days to have an ROI of >100% so maybe start small and as they pay themselves off, re-invest the earnings to make more BTC per day and build it up from there. I wish they were more open on the payout. I like their numbers alot per mh on pay, but I just don't see what they are doing to get this. The biggest thing I don't like compared to other miners is that you really don't have physical hardware you can convert to. I would like it a lot better if I could buy a hashlet and at end it is my hardware since this is a long term deal. But guess we will see in a few months or so. I might be kicking myself if everyone get's great ROI on this. As of right now I'm still watching the next gen ASICs to see what happens(and it seems to be slow). |

There are products kinda for this http://www.coindesk.com/mycelium-announces-entropy-offline-usb-paper-wallet-creator/I have seen one in person they are a neat tool but of course pros and cons of it. The biggest con I see is there is still small chances of bad things with printers still. But it is definitely a step into a good paper wallet. You could look into cold storage and completely keep your wallet offline when not needed. |

Personally i use http://eligius.st to test normally. It works good with most locations i have tried from. (Yes different servers depending on location). The realtime can be wrong. Normally it is not but if you tested it on a few pools and all come up with slower speeds good chance of something being wrong on miner side. I would see what a few pools say and then look for problems with the unit itself if its just that unit and your others are working from same place. |

There are many options on the equipment. Lot's of different ASICs.

Thanks for doing this. Will be interesting to see results over time. I was wondering how hashlets would pay out over time.

Everyone gets told its pointless to mine, but we need miners for BTC to function. So whats the deal? who is getting profits there then?
Mining is profitable but only in huge colocations with serious capital investment and knowhow. At least that's what I have come to conclude based on people's experiences. You need space and decent priced electricity. Electricity is huge factor. With Asics personally I still am able to mine with profit so far. I did have to stop GPU mining as summer made it where i could not mine with a profit, i was better selling off GPU's. |

USB prices make them more for fun when comparing prices.
If you have additional capital I would look into bigger miner's. The price per GH is just much better. Of course do a ROI beforehand.

Look into coinbase, bitstamp, localbitcoin etc.
Stay away from paypal on selling straight BTC.
