If you guys only knew how often I get chicken at the 7-11. $4.75 cnd for what I call the three legged chicken combo with 3 potato sacks... which is 3 drumsticks, 3 wedges and a big gulp. Unfortunately for a bachelor - This is survival instincts.... Every 2 - 3 days... Its all about the convenience.. Its 12:30 am - Time to go get some chicken... I actually think they don't have any at night... hmmm... I wonder... Why did the chicken cross the road? It was just running around the BTClock! Maybe avoiding the chopping BTClock at the 7-11?  EDIT: 7-11 had no chicken... got a Spicy Ha BTCanero Chicken at the A & W instead... |

I'm using 3 power supplies to power a A3 using 120v power. The miner takes almost 1500 watts using a watt meter.
What? No. I'm using 1 APW3++ using 120v. No issue at all. Consuming ~1,200 Watts I have a meter on mine too on 120 V, and its 1400 Watts at the wall! I have also had 5 s9 antminers drawing 1525 watts on 120 volt the same way for over a month.. on the same PSU's APW3++ |

Can we start a new saying... Instead of Mine On...
This one I thought of has a special ring to it, and promotes growth of the pool.
Miner UP!
:-P

FYI For anyone who considered Luxor. I did, just to see, and the has rate was all over the place. in 1 hour i got about 150 SC. I trying siamining and in the last 10 minutes that I had this up and running there I am at 60SC already... so.. you whatever they have the most hashing power, but there is a reason.
IF anyone has Mining pool Hub working, please let me know the settings you used. I looked in the kernel log when it was there and I saw the error of Share submitted but it had an error.. I'd like to do that so I can get BTC automatically with the coin exchange they have set up.
Thanks

Harper86 and Cryptonica helped me out getting a backup of the A3 firmware. thanks for that guys!  As others already found out as well: The A3 and D3 are very similar. I even found out that the software inside the controller chips on the hashing boards is exactly the same. Out of curiosity I tried to run the A3 firmware on the D3 and the A3 firmware actually detects the ASIC chips and tries to start mining on the D3 hardware. Looking at the logging it's fine, but it doesn't accept the work as Bitmain did actually changed something on the ASIC chips I guess. I do think they used the D3 as a base and stripped out 10 of x11 algorithms. For now the conclusion is that you can't convert the D3 to an A3. It probably does need reprogramming of the ASIC chips on the hashing boards itself. Blissz please help us out with the A3 FW image you already have. Me and Tssar have the same problem (2 out of 3 hash boards not showing up). I tried everything, PSU, cables, turn on/off boards one by one, Factory reset, nothing helps. Before I open a ticket with Bitmain, Id like to try reflashing the FW as a last resort. That way I succeeded in revitalizing a D3 with similar hash boards issues a few weeks ago! On Bitmains support page there is no trace of A3 reference, manuals or files  Keep up the good work mate! I had this similar issue with a S(, Unplugged the white controller cables, then plug them back in, on both ends, and the hash board that was not lit up, started to work.. Power off of course |

Hi, could anybody enlighten me if there is a working nicehash blake2b pool? It's not on the stratum list, tough in WTM its listed.
On NiceHash the blake2b is listed as Sia, since its the only coin minable with blake2b. But i havent been able to get NiceHash to work for me.... I cant get it to work. I got Mining pool hub to work for a bit, then it stops, ie like 1 minute... Funny how there is so little places to use this paper weight.. :-) |

Even more confusing. I am getting my A3 in about9 hours... if all goes well at the DHL depot and the hold for pickup. I was hoping to find a pool that paid in BTC for the A3 hashing. But looks like that is probably not easy? Where do I get a sia wallet? Normally I base my purchasing decisions on stuff like this longer than the 12 seconds I did when I got the phone call in the middle of the night to buy one.. and been to busy to research it properly. I a m guessing sia.tech is where to download the wallet? Sia-UI ? If I go to a pool with sia coin payout, what exchanges can I use to get BTC? What is your opinion on keeping siacoin instead? will it too be worth millions? :-P |

I checked mine, the one that runs higher temps and the one that ramps up and down are connected with Exhaust fan to FAN 5 ( Second connector from edge )
OK Lets vote on the fan wire locations - Because I have 3 set up one way, and 2 the other way.
Indicate where your exhaust fan connects to on the board. Is it closest to the outside edge, FAN 6 Connector? Or is it Connected to the FAN 5 connector that is second connector from the outside edge.

Guys, I have a 13.5 Th/s S9. But since I changed settings to sg.kano and shut the window of the balcony a little bit it's now always over 14 Th/s. Temps are 67, 60, 60 and GH/s avg is 14,008.
Is my miner doing too much and killing its longevity or it's completely normal..? I used to keep the balcony window wide open and temps were like 60, 50, 50 or something like that and it always hashed around 13.5 Th/s. Kano.is website is registering my miner's hash rate at around 14 to 15k.
Thanks guys.
Nothing to worry about.. you're fine. Sounds like a good problem to me. I have one S9 that always runs hotter than the others. It never gets below 70C but seems plenty happy. It has a Nidec fan, the rest have Y.L. fans. I think I may change out the fans before summer and see if it helps. Mine on! I am looking to keep a couple spare fans on hand - just in case. But Bitmain wants 15 USD per fan, and 20 USD to ship 1, or 30 USD to ship 2. Yet I asked them if they could put in the two fans if i ordered them into my order of the A3 that I just bought... and no response. Then they shipped out the A3 without a PSU.. at least I have my spare PSU so I can at least use the thing. I just noticed tonight that on all of my other unit the fan where the air comes out runs faster than the one where the air goes in. The one that runs warmer is just the opposite, the exit fan is running slower. I do believe that is the issue. Typical Chinese Quality checking. I checked on the two that I have in my office ( YES LOUD) and the fans are connected different too. I will have to check on the other ones later. But this one that looks to be the wrong one, is the one running hotter and is a 14.0 TH unit. The others are 13.5 Th Thanks for pointing that out. I would never thought to of looked at that. I TOTALY trust made in china stickers!  No Offence to the Chinese community.... just sometimes shortcuts that are taken cause a lot of problems. Is a power off required? or can I switch them real quick without power down? EDIT: Nevermind.. They are hot and get hot faster without a fan.. WHY did I even think I could do it while it was on hahah |

Finally, the replacement miner for poor, departed R4B4 has arrived in the ice mines at Hoth. Took so long after multiple delays I hate to even think about it, but at least I've increased my hashrate by 50% so that's a plus. Mine on! There's always a silver lining! Good job!  I have 3 S7s that are in varying stages of swan songs that I'm trying to replace. My hosting site is full so I can only replace; can't add new until they have expanded their capacity. One of these S7s will be replaced in early February and I can't wait. I can't seem to buy anything anymore so I don't know if I'll ever be able to replace the other 2. What are they charging these days for hosting a S9? and does that include the cost of power? I have a location that I can use for hosting, but with a max of 200 amp 240 Volt service. I might be able to get higher service, then it starts to get into commercial rates for electricity. Looks to work out to 22 S9's can be run there. I would be able to have a fibre connection to the location as well. 150 Mbit symetrical. My total host fee works out the same as $0.08 electricity. It was costing me $0.10 at my house and the noise and heat was brutal. So 1100 kWh X .08 = $88.00? is your hosting fee? a month? |

You guys can always PM Kano. He can unlock your account for you if he's awake. What's with the rash of account lockouts lately?
Due to the fact that on occasion, recently, people have pointed a sizeable collection of computers at the web server trying to login hundreds of times a minute, and done that for a number of days, I changed a setting to ban you faster if you make a mistake repeatedly. Thus it picks up normal users making mistakes, a little more often than before, but also picks up these annoyances with their baby-botnets very quickly. That would account for the higher rate of lockouts! I'd better be careful logging in! My first login attempt will always fail, no matter how slow and careful I type my password. The second attempt will always login. I've tried this numerous times with the same results and just live with it. This only happens on mobile, btw. First attempt works every time from PC. IPhone? Yeah, they like capitalizing the first character even when you implicitly say not to... I had that issue before and it drove me up the wall. |

In the USA and no tracking info with UPS, ordered on the 18th. Bummer.
2018-01-17 15:02:03 This is 2 minutes and 3 seconds into the release. Paid immediately. Nothing. Pretty fucking shitty really. So much for "first paid first shipped" huh Bitchmain?? I placed order on Jan 17 01:00 AM Mountain Time This was the INITIAL release of the A3, it was up dor sale every hour after that for some time. So you may THINK it was the first, but You ordered on the 18th. ( you can work out your time zone difference) I recieved tracking number on Friday at 11:48 PM Mountain Time, and then Finally Monday Morning got the Shipment picked up plus notification that the PSU tracking number was just created. A3 has already left hong kong, should be here for me on Wednesday. The PSU might come the same time, but it looks like it was shipped later and migh cross paths at customs then come at same time, if not.... this is why i plan anhead... Had a spare PSU that I have on hand for all my other antminers... just in case. |

What pools or rental places like nicehash will pay in BTC for running an A3 on their pools?

Consolidate your transactions with the low fees!
Indeed - don't wait for the next run of high fees then complain about them Do it! Do it now! I did and it was confirmed very quickly even with the low fees. Now is the time to consolidate all of your small payouts to another wallet you own! I was going to ask about this very thing... I have had several payments into one address. But I keep hearing of this consolidation. What is exactly meant by it and what benefit is there, or negative if its not done? I know it means to move the funds to another address or wallet ID, is it simply to put them in one block so that when its moved its not being moved from many blocks over the past couple months and that ads up to more fees? Ie satoshi's per kb.. I have had all the payments for blocks on kano since dec 10, and about 1 each week from Nov 21 from Nicehash... except for that last one :-) Thanks. Consolidation is turning coins from many inputs into a single output. Since fees are paid based on transaction size, the more inputs you have the more you're paying in fees. Doing this during low fees is best since you're not paying so much right now in overall fees. In future if you're sending bitcoin, the smaller transaction size will help you save on transaction fees. So My wallet creates a new address every time I click receive bitcoin... so I could essentially send it from the address I was using for the last 2 months, to one of these other new addresses on the same wallet ( I know the wallet address is technically a new wallet, I just mean on the same Application I use as the wallet) This will accomplish the consolidation? Is there any pro's or cons to doing it this way? I know I should put my 12 million in bitcoin on an offline wallet... But I like the feel of them in my pocket :-) |

I was able to fix the S7 that had burned up power connections...
So +5ths to the chain...
Its totally gong to be the straw that breaks the block... i can feel it.
Was this the one I posted the link on you tube for you? Glad it worked out for you if it was! |
