It would cost more in electricity than you would ever make

No idea where he's getting it from, but I wish all this shitcoin crap would go back to the parts of the forum where it belongs.

There were two left at bitshopper.de (Without PSU) Now there is one  |

I doubt in this market you will find anything much better if you don't want to spend any more money. The manufacturers usually price the gear to make breakeven at or just over a year depending on your electric costs.
If you want to buy cheaper they tend to be on a long lead time (see Bitmain gear) so you pay £5K but you have to wait 6 months before you get your gear.
All you can do is buy what you can and hope price goes up, or, if prices stay stable or drop a little, resign yourself to be in it for the long run. All of its a gamble against the price dropping through the floor.
But then that's how its always been in mining.

When a pool finds a block, its just one miner that finds it, same as a solo miner. The pool keeps track of the hashrate of each miner on the pool during the duration between the last block and the next, then uses the hashrate during those shifts to calculate the share of the block that will be allocated as a reward to all the miners regardless of whether they were the block finder or not. Also the reward is also only calculated for N number of shares on a PPLNS pool (Pay Per Last N Shares) usually worked out as a length of time that you have been mining before the block was found. For some pools the N(umber) of shares works out to a very short time period because the pool is very big, on a small pool the N could work out to be a very long time unless the pool owner specifies that it is a fixed number of days. I'm probably not explaining it very well This explains how the pool measures the miners hashrate: https://kano.is/index.php?k=workdiff |

From: https://kano.is/index.php?k=miningWhat does a Bitcoin miner actually do? A Bitcoin miner creates a Bitcoin block header of 80 bytes, using the work it is given e.g. by a pool, and hashes it using the SHA256 hash algorithm. Within those 80 byes, there is a 4 byte value called the nonce - that it cycles from 0 to approximately 4 billion and hashes it for each nonce value. The SHA256 hash algorithm gives a pseudo-random result for each hash done. If a hash results in a Difficulty value greater than or equal to the limit specified by the work it was given, it will return the information required to produce the same 80 byte block header it hashed. A Difficulty value of 1 is expected to occur, on average, once every approximately 4 billion hashes attempted. If the hash result has a Difficulty value greater than the Bitcoin network Difficulty, then that means the miner found a Bitcoin block! |

I'm starting the process to send some broken boards from 17 series miners to a repair place in Canada, I'll keep you posted how it goes.

Or they could just look at the pool home page. There it is, posted top center of the page... Maybe that is too difficult or complicated for them to figure out?  Grumpy  |

Hi!
I saw the blog post that indicated order by email. After satisfying their authentication requirements, has anybody actually successfully ordered their S19j?
Thanks!
Last batch had a MOQ of 200 units, so its probably only scalpers buying. You can see all the resellers currently selling $4K miners for $10-12K |

Hello,
No that's right, in Euros it gives me 0.00615 € / kW.
The normal charge in France is 0.15 € / kW.
I only pay about 4% of the normal rate.
That is pretty amazing to have almost 0.5c per kW thats almost free power |
|
|
|
I work for an electricity supplier, so I have very good prices.
I pay the kW 0.0074 dollars.
You sure its not $0.074? 0.0074 dollars is less than US 1c 0.0074 USD = 0.0061 EUR or 0.61c EU |
|
|
|
|
The reason why not many people in France had ordered one before was that they were not profitable to run in Europe really.
With the avg electricy price in France being $0.218 a S19-Pro only started to make a profit when BTC went over $28K in Jan/Feb.

Try using screen command instead. screen ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://ca.stratum.slushpool.com:3333 -u (my username)--gekko-newpac-boost --gekko-newpac-freq 250
Then ctrl+ad to detach the screen session. You can restore the screen session with screen -r |

May I ask what are you trying to achieve by running your own copy of btc.com?
Given who they are my guess is host their own pool at their datacenters for their customers. |

Isn't it on the product web page here http://xinshili.com.cn/product/q3/ If you use chrome you can translate both the product page and the download page, which needs the extraction code above. Just tried it and it works fine. Weird process but seems to work ok. |

*shrug* its all luck as I said, 1 second to whenever. Its the individual asic inside the miner that hits the block not the other 13.9995 TH or 1.4PH of mining power.
To show how random it is, your 2ph has hit nothing since dec 2018, yet I managed to hit three blocks since then with between 1.2 and 1.4PH.
I was just trying to explain, as we all know, solo mining is just a lottery.
