Get a cord!  
Save downtime.
It will run at 1200w/110 but to get full capacity 1600w you need 220v or dual psus as described elsewhere in the forums.

I just hope one of you getting shipments is my anonymous reseller. 

I have my gaming pc running 2 8gb sapphire rx580s i7, Ucrypto was giving me 60/day w/stacker, 3 blocks a day, I was getting 20 per, then they hit 2 orphans in a row a few days back, the whole network hit zero blocks for hours. Eventually I saw the network hitting blocks again, but not Ucrypto. Jumped to spacepools, never been happier. Pulling down 90-100 a day. I'm staying there for a bit, at least a thousand etn. Spacepools for the win.

*** Edit because I unfairly smeared UK, apologies, it was ucrypto etn pool., NOT UK, as I initially posted. Corrected.

Didn't come with a power cord. Wish I knew, now I have to wait for that. It's not like the local store has a NEMA 6-20P to C13 lying about. Doh!

Send me your money and I'll invest it for you!
 

Seriously nobody knows, and the people who do aren't going to tell us.
Buy some gpus. Mine cheapest easiest coins. Get a few thousand of each.
Hope something good happens. If it doesn't at least you're not out a lot of loot.
Meanwhile, read up on things a bit more. Maybe later you can throw some cash around if you're still feeling frisky.

The problem with the 14.0s was bad risers, burning out. There was a recall and not very many were shipped, so most got fixed from the factory. The concern is there might be some floating around resellers. There hasn't been a rash of complaints here so it seems like it's not a huge deal.

Big $$ on ebag, tell them they can use it to mine bc (nicehash), they'll be crazy for it.

Claymore has a light touch, and he's smart as f#$k. I don't mind the dev fee. You all do what you want.

I know. Maybe you were a big fish at another pond, maybe you were never a forums type. And Now? Here we are. There are real Giants here, we Noobs walk among them, and we can't even trust who is who. And the Old School,  how annoying it must be for them. Their quiet forest bursting out of the winter and blooming in springtime,  and suddenly a million chattering trespassers, tracking mud and clouding the still waters with garbage,  and how can they tell who is real, and who will stick, and who really sucks? So maybe nobody treats us seriously,  maybe they're a bit sharp at times, so what. Face it, most of the people who post are here and gone, Googled/came here/asked/vanished. It's surprising that they answer as many as they do.
But don't worry! Us Noobs live lives full of Joys that are known only to us. We enjoy feelings and discoveries that they haven't felt in many years.
The purpose of this thread is to celebrate the joy of noobiness. Tell your story of Noob Greatness! That time you were all like "YES!"

Ok, I'm going to start it up.

So I got an s9 ordered but while I'm waiting I have a great pc because I'm a gamer from way back but I hardly ever play anymore (msi x99+/32g/ddr3/i7@350/watercooled) and it's money I spent awhile ago so I'm not counting it as an expense and I'm not going to even if I should because yeah.
Nhash was ok but it was easy. No real working pools/miners/coins. No .bat files. No .config.
Anywho I pointed a single 580 at ucrypto/etn just to check it out. Tweaked it to stable and walked away.
24 hours later.... Nothing!
I'm probably doing it wrong...
So I crashed before work, woke up....
Hit for 20etn right after I went to bed!
Again, right before I got up! 21 more!
Went to work, 2am, 20 more!
So, I'm doing it right I guess, gotta get both cards going,  take the time to get it set,  but hey, I has etn! And it went up .01!
I'm sooooooo on my way to greatness!

Have you also felt Noobs Triumph?
Tell it if you want to.  First time you hit "x" /s or x number of coins or whatever made you happy.
Cheers!
Here's to us!

I read the 8's are only getting 11 th/s 

It's worth noting that the usual trend is for bitcoin cash to rise when bitcoin drops. This is bucking the trend,  which is odd.

I call bottom at 10.5/11, buy on the dip.
Cheers!

I think they're more profitable right away but maybe not long term... like I'm mining ethereum classic and stacking the coins at around 35-40, and hoping they go up to 75-100 next year, but I don't need the money right now, I'm waiting. Maybe I'll lose. I guess you could stack bc too, but I don't use my gpus for that. For straight up income daily nicehash is usually the best. Sucks about the hack but no risk no reward I guess.

My worry is that the wall street banks will use their political influence. For instance,  today Goldman Sachs announced a crypto trading desk opening in 18. How long before they start with crushing the competition? Look out gdax here comes Goodman Sachs. First they'll say it's not fair they have to follow regulations but gdax doesn't. Next they'll lobby government for regulations. For our own good, of course. To keep us safe. The new rules will cost millions of dollars to comply with. You need an army of clerks and lawyers to keep the forms filled out! Goldman Sachs has one. Gdax doesn't. Any emerging competition will be unable to afford the new rules. Competition crushed, the new giant can take advantage of the market share to recoup their investment in lobbying through higher user fees. This is the corruptocrats business model. We must strive to avoid it.

I read on another site that some of the 14.0s had riser burnouts from high heat and had to be redone. Not sure if that's true but I heard it independently from 2 different resellers. I've been trying to add one more s9 for like a month now. I actually got in to the bitmain site once but I didn't have the bc on hand and it took me more than an hour to swap around,  and I timed out on payment. 2795 price,  Feb shipments. Very frustrating. A month ago I was passing by them at 3-3.5k for way too expensive. Dumbme.

jenia1 is selling preorders for 3800, he seems alright, and he does escrow. That might seem like a lot right now, but bitmain just doubled the s9 price from 1650 to 2795 per unit. The units reselling now from 3-7k on ebay were purchased at the old price of 1650. That means if the market stays the way it is, s9s can be expected to go up in the resale market. Of course, you never know what the market is going to do. Good luck!

I got throttled! I called my isp and told them I want to step down from 100mbps to 30mbps, and I told them I want to pay less, they said ok, and then....
 they cut my service to 30mbps! They throttled me!
Wahwah.

This is extremely dangerous! In order to ensure that your interests are completely represented,  you should immediately transfer them to me. I  can safely defuse them, only my crazy tech skills can save You!

Kidding.  You should kneel down for a second and thank God for such good fortune,  then go forth and use them in the way that best makes sense for you and yours. Maybe toss some to a charity you like. Convert it first so you get the write off.
Congrats!

I hate hate HATE when websites say "contact us for details"
I want to find out, not have a relationship. Maybe after I look, but only if I like what I see. Contact us for details might as well be another planet because I'm just as likely to go there.

My insurance company has copies of receipts for my most valuable things. These things are covered, no doubt.  My miners I have not submitted receipts for.  They wouldn't be covered. I could,  but I choose not to.
