1605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: is mining even worth it now? what if Bitcoin is WAY higher when you start out? on: November 16, 2017, 05:24:11 AM
here's my thought process.

let's say you spend 1 BTC to mine coins with nicehash and get payouts converted to BTC.

you receive your mining units two months later, and the price of Bitcoin is $12K.  You start mining, you're earning around $1300 a month (estimate, based on upcoming difficulty adjustments).  It's now going to take you at least 10 months to earn back your original return on investment.  Not to mention during those 10 months, Bitcoin could easily be tripling in price, putting it at nearly $40K, or who knows where.  So in reality, you've lost money, because you could have just held the 1 Bitcoin rather than using the 1  Bitcoin to buy mining rigs.  Am I understanding that correctly?  I feel like I'm making a mistake trying to get into mining.  Anyone have any input on this?

No, you've missed the point, I usually held mining profits in BTC as long as I can. so if it triples the price, it only means my ROI is also faster.



good point.  so holding rather than selling out of the profits earned from mining.

1608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / can someone PLEASE tell me what i need to tell my electrician for L3's? on: November 16, 2017, 02:40:29 AM
I shared with him, verbally, the details of the L3's.  I think I ended up confusing myself.

He was going to have me run TWO units on ONE circuit, a 20amp circuit, 120volt.

That sounded like it made sense to me when reviewing the stats.

Then I called him back because someone online said use a 240volt outlet instead of a 120volt outlet.  so that totally confused me.

can someone tell me what I need to be doing here?  is the 20amp 120volt what I need to be doing to run two units on the same circuit?

1610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / difficulty adjustment timeframe? will december batch not be very profitable? on: November 16, 2017, 02:25:18 AM
question for you all,

the december batch of L3's - isn't it possible that those could be 50% of the earnings compared to what we're seeing now?  We have a new batch from this month hitting customers soon.  Then the december batch.

Almost feel like it's not going to be worthwhile to mine whenever I get my miners since the Return on Investment might not happen for 6 months or more.  Almost seems to make sense to just hold your money as the actual coin and no even mine.   Huh

What's the answer?  Any thoughts?
1611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wake up before it is too late on: November 15, 2017, 02:43:17 PM
Wow how this forum is an unbelievable echo-chamber fueling one big ponzi scheme. Bitcoin as a currency, give me a break. A currency where it takes days to clear payments unless you pay massive fees - fees that are hostage to whatever vagaries the miners have? And if you don't, you are left in limbo where you have no idea whether it takes minutes, hours or days to move your money? A currency which is heavily impacted by "civil wars" with rival crypto currencies? A "currency" even less stable than the former Zimbabwean dollar. Don't get me wrong - the other crypto "currencies" equally well fit the ponzi scheme.

It is abundantly clear from reading in here for quite a while that the vast majority of people speculating in here are simply pinning all their hopes and dreams on the notion that these tulip bulbs - sorry tokens - can only rise in value. Sorry to say, but some people are going to get hurt badly eventually....

hey, look, some FUD (that's been coming out since $.13 cents)

you've got it all wrong.

it's not a currency.

maybe one day it will be when the price stabalizes which will take further adoption.

but regardless.  it's a network.  not a currency.

and not only is it a network, it's an assert.

1614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Antminer L3+ Electrical Setup Requirements, can someone help? on: November 14, 2017, 03:47:35 PM
so as far as I understand each antminer L3 runs at 800 watts, plus or minus 10%, with 11 - 13 volts.  I'd like to run TWO of them.  Is having a 240 volt installed enough to do it?  Could I run three or four on a 240 volt?  On the same one?   Huh

1616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How much heat does the Antminer L3 put out? Can I run in my office? on: November 14, 2017, 01:04:41 AM
thanks so much for all of the information.  I think I will just go with the L3.

Someone mentioned to me that they need to be at a room temperature of 72 degrees.  Is this true?  I havent read this elsewhere.  So now I'm concerned about putting them in the garage with no ventilation ??

No problem! And sorry, I don't know as mine runs in a basement, but colder is always going to be better for machine performance and longevity, so if you're dropping that much on gear, I'd say spend the hundred or so on some extra insulation or ventilation as needed. Good luck!

sadly no windows in the garage for venting.  could throw a few box fans in there, I suppose, but that would probably just blow around the hot air. 

and I'm in florida, so it's almost always hot lol.  winter is coming though! Wink
1617  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How much heat does the Antminer L3 put out? Can I run in my office? on: November 14, 2017, 12:48:40 AM
It's not very hard, especially if you stick to either Windows (not recommended) or use a pre-built OS like ETHOS, which is $39 per rig, which is totally worth it IMO; it IS just a minimal build of Ubuntu geared towards mining, but the $39 is worth not having to build the distro yourself for me. It'd be cheaper to buy the hardware and assemble the rig yourself (by at least $1k most of the time), and you can customize it, so you could start with what you can or are willing to spend now and add onto it later (just as long as you buy a motherboard with enough pcie slots, I recommend at least 6 unless you just want something small). The other nice thing is that as new tech comes out you can upgrade in stages with what you can afford instead of having one huge price tag all at once, but honestly it's really not that much of a difference in price for hardware vs income if you're smart about what you buy...

But if you don't want to/don't have time do that, and are solely focused on ROI and profit, then I suggest the L3+, or the S9 if you're good at wiring, for the garage, or the R4 for inside.

Basically ASICS are the better short term investment, GPU rigs are better long term (and more modifiable obviously). I'm primarily a Mac guy with a little bit of Linux knowledge and it took about a day for me to figure out ETHOS. I currently have two ETHOS rigs (one with 3 Nvidia 1060s/3 1070s, and one with 4 1060s), an S3, and an L3+, and I have some broken S5s I picked up that I've been playing with for fun. I don't prefer ASICS over GPUs or vice versa, though the ASICS are definitely more of a "set it and go" which is great, but less fun to mess with (and far more limited on what you can mine with).

Oh, and I second the "run a line out" if you're planning on putting it in the garage; it won't be a HUGE loss, but you want as strong and direct a signal as possible, as though miners use next to no bandwith, they are constantly sending and receiving data, so any moment of signal loss will cause delays or rejections. Again, overall not much, but if you can run an ethernet line, I would.

thanks so much for all of the information.  I think I will just go with the L3.

1618  Economy / Computer hardware / [ERORR?] Bitmain checkout not working? no wallet address showing for payment on: November 14, 2017, 12:44:14 AM
anyone know what the problem could be?

I place the order, get to the final payment page, and click BCH.

After that, nothing shows up.

It shows like this:

Does not show a wallet address.  cant figure out how I'm suppose to pay.  if I click "submit" at the bottom, it just says error. 
1619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How much heat does the Antminer L3 put out? Can I run in my office? on: November 14, 2017, 12:31:34 AM
thanks for that.  I was thinking it wouldn't be *that* loud, guess that's not the case lol.  
unfortunately those models show I wouldn't be making too much money, some of them at a loss

The S3 isn't profitable. It's cheaper than running a space heater is all (and keep in mind that numbers are based on current values and difficulties, which vary; I have an S3 I have overclocked and used as a spaceheater, and it is profitable, just not very). The S5 is profitable but needs modding. You can also mod it with third party hashboards and make it more powerful, but that's not cheap either.

The R4 is your best bet, but since they're not made anymore they're a bit pricey. Or just build a gpu miner in a milk crate that you can control the mining and heat generation of, it'll cost about the same and be far more versatile.

I have zero clue how to do that.  but I have seen those rigs ready for sale on ebay, and I thought about getting one, but I dont understand how to set it up, honestly.
1620  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTB] Antminer L3, x2 on: November 14, 2017, 12:29:35 AM
I can do 2 at $3500 each with Sidehack PSUs. Escrow via PhillipM is ok.

edit.  thought you said 2 for $3500. 

cant do $3500 each.

I'd go as high as $2200 each.

Don't pay $2200.  You can pick them up sub $1600 on bitmain right now.  Buying from the source is always better too.

I can't.  I've tried to put two orders through and at the final page, it doesn't show me the wallet address to send payment to.  it's just blank, even after I select "BCH", nothing shows up on how to send payment. 

I've tried four different browsers right now.   Any idea why this could be?  Cant figure out what I could possibly be doing wrong.

this is all that shows up:  https://imgur.com/a/DyqgF
