19521  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How about a solar power source for pop one price mining on: July 18, 2018, 09:10:30 PM
looks like 1000-1100 is more practical for various reasons.



working on a breakout board for a dc to dc psu that will give a stable 12 volts of power.

may need a cheap car battery to keep it 12dc volt stable

note the battery does not extend  your mining over night what it does is help out during rain/clouds etc

A place like Houston  would do 5-6 hours of mining a day  on the average.   

it may not be practical with margins so tight

well my order is still not corrected  paid for but marked cancelled

I was able to find a good deal on some rx 560's  but  I won't buy a dozen  only 1  due to the order below not  being corrected.


see below  note the blue high lighting





Any particular reason to chose the RX560's Phil?  You haven't gotten any updates from gpuhoarder on getting this mess fixed?  Looks like the order system is chaos at squirrels.

I found a deal 99 bucks for a new rx 560

I got this email

I know you are busy today. I had difficulty getting orders done and paid with coin payments. I did get one order in and it has been paid so I hope it will simply be marked paid. and not canceled.. This is order number 000000482 and as of now it is marked canceled.


Pdf have been attached

I am sorry for the confusion but coin payments was very difficult to work with.

Thanks again,

block %


lets see if %   works faster or slower then ?

I think anything will be faster than 340%


no I asked block ?


as a luck changer did it at 859 my time  we hit at 1018  my time or 79 minutes

this time I used a % at 1022 my time   so 1140  my time would be 78 minutes


not sure if % will beat ?    but we will find out soon

I appreciate the insight but the argument isn't they can't, but why they don't. Ease, profits, turn to market. Or is there more I'm missing?


Yeah at least how I look at this gear.

Anyone with an understanding of mining won’t want this gear.

Two fans pull 62 watts.

Must force feed it cold air.

So if margins stay tight I am going to lose quite a bit of money feeding cool air to it.

If a fan has an issue gear may over heat.

So basically this miner is for an ac hosting place with crazy cheap power. And is short on space.

I simple don’t see why you buy this using 82 watts per th and needing ac

Over the Avalon the s9 or the t1/t2. All of which can survive a 90f room with fan cooling.

That is so true!

I'm one of the smallest of small guy and I get rekt for mining and trading in BTC...

Looking back, I'd wish I didn't get into this crypto thingy 8 months ago.  Angry

now its low tide.

I am curious about drivers for these devices - is there any available to download see at all?
Will it be pretty much plug and play or will it need some nerd set mind?

it should be okay to load

Not unless you want to differentiate from each worker. Might be good for troubleshooting or clocking.

No T9 or s9i at these prices huh?

Picked up a factory sealed V9 for $105 US delivered ..... seems their being dumped by some suppliers up here

They must know something, shakeup coming?

it is a loser unless your power cost is close to zero

if you have 0-4 cents a kwatt it makes profit.

at 5 cent power it loses   20 cents a month
at 4 cent power it earns $4.43 a month
at 3 cent power it earns $9.07 a month
at 2 cent  ................... $13.71
at 1 cent  ................... $18.34
at 0 cent .................... $22.98

so it should pay off in 5 months if your power is free

of course if you need a space heater and would use one anyway it has more value.
at 0 cent

it is not about better gear right now

the game is cheap power as gear has flooded the market.

I would offer to escrow them for you  if the buyer wants an escrow.



since you have 35 of them

I suggest you sell in multiples of 3 or more rather then 1 at a time.

right now, I only hold one POS coin...   and I am holding the coin not to stake it... I just found that I generated about ~.0001 BTC worth of that coin per day.. so its a bonus.  I own a little over 2% of that coin's supply.

I do like the idea of buying into a coin to put value into "storage" to support the coin... but it has many downsides.

People keep tying the value of BTC to other things, this distorts perspectives a LOT.

ETH has always claimed it will be independent of BTC's value;  but the nature of exchanges moots that objective/point.....

I agree with you but with ETH going POS it will be a different scenario.

Basically most of the low cap POS coins lately where all mostly scams and you could tell because they promised like 100% gains per year. And usually what happens is people buy these coins and don't sell them to stake and the prices usually ends up crashing because the devs and early adapters all sold the coins.

With ETH should be a different story, we will see how it will work. I am hoping that the Hybrid POS goes smoothly and it will gives us an idea of how successful it will be. However with ETH, most likely there will be bugs which will lead to hacks which will lead to lost coins, as it was with the DAO hack or all those millions of dollars worth of coins stuck in a smart contract due to bad programming.


Eth is a very large coin  with a lot of value  and it has delayed going to POS for years.

It  makes money for me  via nicehash   and the eth enlargement pill  my 1080tis all do about 50mh mining it.

https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje

7 to 8 dollars a day  using  24 kwatts  my  home gear  at full priced new jersey power summer rates  = 4.50 in power  so 7.50 - 4.50 = 3 profit

that is 4 1080ti's  and  1 1050ti  along with a ryzen 1800x on monero7

gear is paid off so 3 bucks a day  is 1000 a year
19538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator on: July 17, 2018, 11:27:44 AM
shipping and ordering has been very poorly handled.

I paid in full  via coin payments for order number 000000482   446 usd

which is 330 + 99 + 17 for shipping

order was canceled coinpayments is simply fuck you deal with the seller.

gpuhoarder has assured me they will fix this and are backlogged.


other order with  themineority  seems to have been taken okay.

that is for 330 plus 14.75 to ship  or 344.75

so I am 790 out of pocket  all paid to coinpayments

and only  the 344.75 order is good at this moment.

Soo  rathe then spend more on squirrels  I purchased  2 more s9i's  coming in two days  850 after coupons

and I grabbed the ryzen 7 2700  and the aorus mobo 400 usd for the two parts they are due on weds.

thats 1250  that would have been spent here on squirrels  but order system  errors   have made me  delay more orders.

So if squirrels corrects errors  I get 1 order in august  and I get 1 order in sept.

by then  my s9's  at 28th  will have mined for 75 days.


I am disappointed  in logistics with squirrels  but they are typical for a start up miner company.
I spent the money  because they are in Ohio usa based.

well maybe they will correct my cancelled order today.

Profits are a huge motivator, that's why it would be a bold move to break the norm and why other people conform to meet the expectation. In a sense at this point to deliver anything else to market would be "rebellious" even as we agree completely, that it would only make sense to do so to deliver a quality product.

They are  not taking advantage  of other designers.

use avalon 841 heatssinks
use halong t1 style firmware for speed control

82 watts  per th

   fast speed       15 th  1230 watts
  medium speed  13 th  1066 watts
  slow speed       12 th    984  watts

I would not allow a pure pos coin of any kind.

As much as I try to understand how a pos coin can’t work with no mining I simply see all pos only coins as impossible to truly work.

Hi philip.

Not against your opinion and i'm a miner myself, but i'm quite curious. There are already lots of research articles on POS and how much more efficient and secure the mining process can be, would you like to explain why you believe these protocols won't work?

what backs the coin?

a pow electrical power spent and mining gear back the coin.


kind of an equivalent to silver or gold standard.

in the case of a pos the coin is not backed by power spent or by gear mining.

it is backed by fiat tendered for coin.  much closer to a bank then pow.

note i said pure POS   not hybrid such as ETH or PPC

To me POS is much like a bond or a cd

Now I have stayed clear of POS  when I had a run in with PPC   I had staked 2000 ppc coins and they were due to do earn 3% for staking ..  The dev came out with a new wallet and said it was needed to switch to it  by a set date.  3 or 4 people had all their coins vanish  when doing the upgrade.  2000 coins were worth about 1100 usd.  I would have taken a shot  at the update but I had my wallet on mac and they did not do a mac update.  I talked it over on there site got no help and decided to cash out.  I never did pos  after this and they were a pos/pow hybrid  which was what I liked about them.

If I can not mine coins at a certain profit  even a small profit  I am not doing a business.

I don't know of any pure pos coin that allows this.

ie I stuck with a stake cost   which is not controllable  at my level.

With pow I can control

 power cost
 gear cost
 earn certain profit on a coin

for instance BTG   I earn .4 a day that is split on my power deal  so it is a certain 0.20 BTG a day

my gear cost = 0    so 0.20 x 365 = 73 BTG a certainty to a degree   that is 12 a month  sell 6 hodl 6  end of the year  sold 36 held 36

make money.

I can not do this with pos


POS can be mined indirectly with the help of pools and exchanges...like a multipool that mines the most profitable coins, dumps them and buy a certain POS coin......if the exchange or the multipools fucks up...then back to staking until somebody setup another multipool.

I got really lucky with this POS coin http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/SLS/richlist.php

the dev backs it up with other coins..i have really no idea what's cookin' there though.

yes a 3 step plan is mining indirectly, but it is mining the coin.  still you dumped coins back by power and gear for coins backed basically on imagination.

Not saying that you can't make money that way.  It is just a lot risky compared to what I do.

I mine  BTG today with gear that is paid off.  I sell enough BTG to pay the power.

I hold only the paid off BTG = I absolutely make money.
