19981  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order on: May 29, 2018, 12:34:03 AM


They been saying alot of things but so far just vaporware. I dont understand why they need to do a presentation to explain a miner. They just need to start selling them...
It says in development.

Just Japanese custom, They're going to have a formal announcement to all investors and see where it goes. Anyone on this forum going?

Hmmm but it does say in development right?  Didnt some forumers say 7nm is years away? Where is fuzzy

   the 7nm will drop late 2018 or early 2019

 avalon will have one . pretty sure they did some takeouts etc.

As for gpu vs asics I am all inclusive not exclusive .   Major problem here is bitmain is losing it s9 edge. it was huge over  everyone back in 2016.  now that everyone caught up bitmain is trying to find an edge again..  They do not give a fuck what coin or coins they have an edge in as long as they have an edge.

My opinion is bitmain will never have the edge it had with the s-9 back in June of 2016 pre ½ing they had a .11 watt miner and no one had a .25 watt miner except for bitmain's s-7.

They made vast sums of money with that edge and they want to do this with a coin again.  Maybe they can.  They will try to do it with any coin there is as the edge is what they live for.

To have that same  edge now would means you could build a 0.04 watt miner  doing 30th at 1200 watts and sell it at 2k-3k when it only costs you 700 to build.

No one has that as far as I know.

Phil you like those L3+??
Want to buy a couple see how they do in Florida?
How are the temps and speeds?

If you do the volt mod from jsetanop at 378 clock they do  492mh and use 700 watts at the wall.

Fans can set to 40% and run cool like 60(c)

I have 4.4gh solo mining. Come June 1 I turn off the gear at home.

Just mine at the solar array

Where and what are you solo mining

If you didn't have funds on an exchange in others' hands;  you could not have lost them....   food for thought.
Not saying asics aren't the problem;  in fact I am pointing out that the people are the problem.


We are getting into debates similar to politics, and other societal nonsense.....
This is human nature.




Figure out how to change human nature.
Boom.  Problem solved.



Sorry for this cynical answer, but its the cold hard truth.


Yeah so many people just want more even if they have a lot.  As Donald would say sad so sad. Grin

But it's Corsair.

I've recently heard many people having issues with Corsairs within the past couple of years. Some people reported lower quality parts in their newer PSU's. Not sure about quality, that's more or less hearsay. At least I've seen members at Bitcointalk and BitsBeTrippin reporting high failure rates.

the list of atx company that had failed psus

rosewill
seasonic
antec
evga
fractal

notice the major company I left off.  I won't write the name as I do not want to jinx myself.

Atx psu's do break with 24/7 use

Ive had incredible luck with evga, and I will never buy another sea sonic

Ugh Phil, your title on this thread is so depressing! lol

What’s your farm consist of currently?

16 1080ti
A few CPUs. Mining monero a rx 560

12 L3+
5    Halong T1
3.   Avalon 841
2 2/3 S9
13 Moonlander usb sticks on a pc with a 1050ti
8 sidehack usb sticks on a pc running a intel i7 6700t Mining monero.


   Mostly this year will be all about buysolar and I trying to build a big array.
I have a friend  with 76 acres of land in south NJ

   I would love to help get it developed  into the largest mining solar flied in the USA. But deals like this are hard to do.
If I could get the ball rolling on this  it would be build 2 acres of panels mine for a year build 3 acres of panels mine for a year.
Then build 5 acres mine for a year so a net of 10 acres four years from now. That is more then 1.1 megawatts at peak devide by 5 you get 200kwatts 24/7 essentially free  or 1 cent a kwatt. (startup costs are not counted in order to say it is free or 1 cent.)

It would be a long time before it goes to 50 or 60 acres.
But there would be a big upside if we do it.

So lets say  the real cost is zero for the land as it is sitting idle.
the panals and inverters are around  660,000 usd  for 10 acres
that is full cost for buysolar
yearly maintenance  10 grand.

Mine 2,000,000 gh of BTC  you earn 25000 a month or 300,000 a year   we know it declines  but 300,000  to start could make it work.
19989  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 17.2TH/s, 1570W Innosilicon announces the most powerful and efficient BTC Miner on: May 27, 2018, 02:13:03 PM
this... I pretty much lost my shirt trying to go w/ halong I can't imagine innosilicon being anything worthwhile to anyone at the price they're trying to hawk these for

If they were smart they could compete with a two year warranty.

But 1600 for 17th vs 1780 for 28th. Is a big edge for bitmain .


Of the three out there Avalon is best for me due to the long warranty.
My power deal means I can not lose unless the gear breaks.
So I look for gear with best warranty

I support FPGA mining not cause I can jump early on it (I am a small scale miner and I can barely afford one $6k FPGA). 
Heck, I could've even jumped on these ASICs.  I knew about them and could've ordered in the first batches itself.

FPGAs are much more power efficient and may or may not be faster than a GPU (price to performance ratio).
People who own mining farms would be interested in getting 1k of these instead of 10k GPUs.  In case of FPGAs there can always be some xyz person who can bring out custom implementations (binaries) which perform better than competitors.  The cost involved is much lower than a competitor who has to compete against a giant and manufacture a better ASIC. 
FPGA mfg are two (Xilinx and Intel/Altera) and they are not mining crypto with their FPGAs.  They have a much larger customer base to meet their targets just like for NVIDIA/AMD crypto is not the bread and butter.

The problem with ASIC is one entity is producing, mining and selling them.  It's not the ASIC itself but this particular entity.
If I was a money printing machine manufacturer and that's the only thing I do why or when should I sell it to others?

Yeah keep repeating SIA founder's words. Everyone have read that article. You blame bitmain but protect underground FPGA mining. Yeah no word on that. That's been going on for quite some time. What about their retail availabilty ? Are they available for sale as gpu are ? No, only big guys with big money will benefit from them. You must be blind as a bat if you can't see this as a small scale miner. They are more powerful and more scalable so farms will be even more powerful and efficient. Meanwhile they are available to only handful of people. Just have a look around. You are waiting for some guy on the internet who might deliver them to you. Some middle man. Power in the hands of only few here. What's stopping them from mining with those FPGA's before delivering them to you ? Meanwhile the big guy are already mining with them for more then year and the big guy who missed out before will now be the first one to get their hands on them, then only you will probably get one delivered to you. It's the same as ASICs, once every big guy has eaten the meat, then they will throw the bone to you and you will be excited like a dog. When I first heard about them I was also excited but the more research I did about them, the more I found bad about them. You should change your mind too, just think about it, I was also thinking like you earlier.

Actually  sia developers were absolute morons.

Here is why if they could build an asic it meant anyone else could do it.

So they gambled lost and now cry like a baby.

All the effort they wasted could have been spent making a more secure al-gore-rythm.

Well  it is a good read  and  while I disagree with pos  as the solution  I do see that this is a real problem.

He talked about BCH  I think his  idea  could be done but that  bitmain would need to be in on a BCH attack since they  have enough hashpower to defend the coin.

It certainly could be done with ETC  vs ETH


Nice hash has
4400gh of hashpower for rent to mine ETC or ETH

https://www.nicehash.com/marketplace/daggerhashimoto

ETC has 6000gh to 11000gh
https://etcchain.com/chart/hashrate



So to attack some coins like BTG or ETC, you do not need ASIC.

Yep  I did quick study and I think   4 or 5 coins  could be attacked  with large nicehash rentals.

Yeah switchers are always chasing and behind  the hot coin.  Plus a shit ton of other people do the same switching.

I mine 1 or 2 coins  zec and a shit coins at the moment and my 16x 1080tis are between 2.25 and 3.25 a card before power cost.

profit switching is a waste of time always chasing down money

what i do is have 2 rigs that are dedicated to mining shit coins (one amd one nvidia)
then all the others mine eth/zec might do some xmr soon

hoping for that one day those shit coins become something is better than chasing those pennies

also I like to mine a shit coin  and sell enough  to then hold.

RVN  I mined 13200   coins sold 8000 hold 5200.   When I count power used and

selling the 8000 at 0.0000055 on average  was about 0.044 btc.  sold the btc at 9900  so 435 cash. power used was about 100

so I am 435-100 = 335 in the black with  5200 coins on hodl.

They are listed at 2700 for  0.000049 = 0.1323   with 2500 in a wallet.

My new shit coin  I have about 55 of  using 2 1080ti to mine it. 

19994  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Reviewing the Halong Mining DragonMint T1, a 10nm Bitcoin Miner on: May 26, 2018, 04:46:01 PM
The reference implementations for version rolling support are in the master ckpool code and slush's stratum pool code, so anyone running off those gets immediate support. However, if they're using forked versions or do not trust our code they will have to merge (or rewrite it) and verify it themselves. It is actually not a big change and easily emulated without actually using a T1 miner. However, given that about half the pools out there are owned by bitmain or a subsidiary of bitmain in disguise, can you not see a conflict of interest for them to provide asicboost support to their competitor until they decide to implement support for it in their own hardware?

Yeah  I mentioned this somewhere else.

I am happy that f2pool  has  added it so the list is longer and some  large pools  as both f2pool and slush are big.

the 2 largest pools are bitmain based they will not add it.

but maybe    viabtc.com  would add it.  or maybe BTC.top




The title of this thread needs to be changed from a "SHA 256 miner" to "Bitcoin miner" because it cannot do a single other sha 256 coin....

This is false advertising, just like Halong did.

and you should delete this post as it is a lie

since bitminter has  allowed merged mining with NMC

Or even a decent Cat 5.  Bottom, line... likely a broken wire in your ethernet cable.

I have saved a dozen or more s7 and s9 with new cables.

If the run is long cat 7 are better.

But short runs of under 5 meters cat 5 and cat 6 will do

Hello all,

Recently I came across a couple antminer s9s that don't seem to be working properly. When I boot them, the yellow ethernet led on the miner never comes up solid, but the green one blinks as usual. On the switch, the status led is orange instead of green. If I log into the switch the connections show as 10m half duplex instead of 1000m full duplex. I can't log into the miner web interface or establish a socket connection to port 4028 on any of them either.

Any ideas?

Try a high quality cat 7 cable

ethos is great but what we really need is proof of individuality.

ip address is not the answer.

Well  if it is a gpu rig  and the os has a unique  number

the mobo has a unique serial number


and the cpu has a unique serial number

link the three as a set.  and you have a unique rig .   



and I am not looking to exclude asics if you want to use them  buy the super size  os with less restrictions but more costly.

Variations on this have to work and not exclude any one.  but hinder big ass mining with large asic rigs.

The  os  could be a 512 bit encrypted code  different for each one

The server on the pool reads it and knows it is a small rig or a big rig.

Asics will work  but at a higher cost due to the big size os .

and the os is restricted by size.  There must be identifier that is anonymous and unqiue.
