strange, but on this pool I get a reward less than, than on "eligius". though and there is a bonus

Is there any way to easily *remotely* monitor these boxes?  I've got 2 of them with address like 192.168.1.x.  That's all good and fine when I'm on the home network, but when I go out of town I'm not on the home network.  So how do I get from them "from the outside"?

Thanks,

Jelks

didn't even go to pool # 3 . of course swapped & tested.

oh sorry that's suppose to be help & your quote again :

Work with us or shut the fuck up. = Customer Service for large company for how many years ? hmmmmm keep up the good work.

so better shut up cos i can be quite certain many ain't gonna work with someone like you.

You should offer him one of your invisible S3's as compensation........

246W @275 averaging around 141GH/s. Isn't that wattage high? THat's messed up. I need to redo it.

Yep.

The first line was a joke, about poking ants with a pencil. Ew.

My serious reply was to do research before you do it so you don't cook your gear. It's a valid approach, just not one to be taken lightly.

If your Antminers are actual ants, the pencil mod is a problem   

You can use certain pencil types to make resistor modifications to miners... not highly recommended unless you really know what you're doing. Start with a U2 if you want to practice.

I never did understand the whole pencil mod thing, what exactly is it and why do it ?

Hi all,
I just added heat sinks to one side of my Antminer S1. I wonder how much the extra cooling will help? Anyone every play with the cooling? I'm not planning on over clocking the S1.

For those interested.

Well, after a couple of testing I can confirm the calculations changed somehow without notice, right during/after the payout issue of two days ago.
I started mining here around August 2, invited two more friends and a neighbour who contributed both small rigs and rentals, we shared computers, internet connection and also placed bets, jokingly, to see who among us would be the first to get an S3.

For an estimate of payouts we were using a modification of the formula suggested by ckolivas in bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104251.0, to great success all the time up until two days ago. Quoting him:


The aforementioned formula plus other stats-math worked amazingly great –we were predicting our payouts per desired time lapse with very good accuracy. We felt confident and started renting to add up, and it was amazing. Together we ended up contributing ~100 Th/s to the pool.

Long story short, if you go to bitcoinwisdom/bitcoin/difficulty and put 1000Gh/s you get 0.02109 as per current diff daily payout.
Theoretically, if you rent for the same price per Th/s and have 100% efficiency, you get around 12,5% because of the bonus, plus a slight difference in the PPS value BAN uses (higher), minus fees (network tx + 2~3%rental). As everybody knows this is not written on stone, but it worked great for us as an estimate with the addition of some stat calcs.
Even s0br suggested having a look at that site.

Renting at less of that price implied better, calculated profit. Even renting at 0.0233 (@ current diff) proved to be slightly profitable.
As we felt comfortable, we left the system working without checking/tweaking all the time and that's when the loss happened.

The aforementioned method does not apply anymore. Even renting at the theoretical price now implies a loss, and that happened out of the blue as we were investing the money to rent around ~100Th/s together.

One of the testings mentioned was a simple one. Use an empty wallet address, transfer some btc to the rental site, rent a rig at a specific price, do the math, wait the final payout @BAN, do the math.
We tried different amounts. For instance in one test we tried 0.152 btc, we expected by our working calcs 0.179 btc at a specific price, the worker was 99.98% efficiency on ireland server (great one), however we've got 0.132 btc final. Lost ~0.02 btc. That's a 13%!
No problem, it was a test. Imagine the loss with bigger amounts.

I would like to stress that the problem is not the profitabilty but the lack of communication or warning that the calcs are about to get tweaked or changed. That's in my opinion an important point to build up confidence. I'd like to mine without being worried the pool changing the "math/payout rules" all the time without notice.

We are so grateful with both the original proposal and ways of the pool's admins. I understand there are risks involved, me and teammates accepted that. We are all "beta testers" here and it sounded great to me, but we cannot afford another big loss as the last one was.

So I have to say "hasta luego!", from the unusually warm winter of Southern Hemisphere.

Have fun and good luck with your upcoming projects everyone.

right to just update here is appears he not around atm guessing asleep the guy has to sleep sometime I am sure when he surfaces he will fix things like he always done gave a couple more hours and he should pop up

    I agree with you. Some folks are a bit overly skittish, and that is their prerogative, but history has shown that s0br always delivers 100%... well, actually 112.5%. 

This is the first time though, that website been down for so long that I can recall with no payouts. As much as its worked in the past, temporarily I have taken my hash off as well after about 8 hours or so. If anyone hears what is going on from s0br, or anyone else who knows what is happening please let us know. If everything is okay I will move my hash right back over, thanks in advance!

Here's what I did with my setup. It's a little different situation because I have a 200A main breaker box with plenty of room.

Here is the new 60A 220V breaker added to my main box with a 6awg 3 conductor wire leading to my sub panel:


Here is my sub panel. I decided to go with 15A 110V breakers with a single breaker per 1000-1300W power supply. I used 14 awg nema13 power cords and cut them off to wire them directly to the breakers, thus saving money on recepticals, outlets, boxes, condutit, etc. I checked with a couple power guys and everything seems to still meet code.



Here is the box all covered up. The big 'breaker' with the white label is actually a whole home surge protector. I didn't want to waste my money on PDUs or individual surge protectors so this was a good solution for everything on the sub box.



Here's the whole cabinet. Obviously this is a little easier to do in a cage but could pretty easily be mounted on a wall next to your shelf-type setup.

I did that same as you but eBay will actually send you to collections very quickly if they can't collect from your credit card.  I filed a complaint with CA State AG and hired a lawyer to sue them for dereliction of duty.  I ended up getting the collection removed and it cost me about 80 hours of time, but I probably cost eBay/Paypal well over $30K in legal fees.

I haven't sold anything on eBay in ages.  If I ever come to the point where I think I want to sell somethingon eBay I just donate it to a charity  

So what is the ultimate goal of BitcoinAffiliateNetwork? Certainly this current business model is not sustainable, lol.

So why are they rewarding pool users with much more BTC than they've actually earned and giving away S3s on top of that? Eventually they'll have to make money the old fashioned way or they'll go bankrupt. What service will they actually be selling? Have they ever made any statements about that yet? If no, why not?

My apologies if this has already been answered. I've only been loosely following this thread because it seems to be too good to be true... and you know the saying behind that.  

I think ROI should be classified as some kind of mental illness......some kind of incurable nervous twitch......

As in: " Oh, you've got ROI - that explains it, sorry",  or "My ROI is killing me".

AND a %12.5 bonus
AND a %50 short term bonus for a payout hiccup
AND a free S3 every day for a month
AAAAAAND a very responsive down to earth admin

Right now IMO this pool is the stone cold nuts.

I haven't been able to connect to the website for this pool since yesterday. Payouts are still showing up in my wallet but no website is disturbing.

Correction, I connect but all I see is:
Db maintenance... pool is still up! Be back in a few minutes!
