Westhash still paying pretty good? What's the price you use in the password line?
NiceHash/WestHash payout depends on their hash sales -- always in a state of flux and often less good than mining BTC directly, but happily often not.  My payout threshold depends on current BTC Difficulty and so I change it every two weeks.  My current value is "p=.0109".  It'll change again by Monday coming.

I was going to give it a try, but doesn't going back and forth on your primary pool reduce your return? I also don't have the time to keep checking prices and values, nor where to look to know what number to enter in. More reading to do. I've been doing a lot of screening the forums so I missed a lot on the Westhash stuff.



Depends on your pool.  If you are on Slush, it only takes about an hour to get ramped back up to full payment; or at least very close to full payment.

I have purchased eight [8] of these fans in total from the same seller on Amazon:  Delta Electronics PFC1212DE 120x120x38mm Cooling Fan, 252.85 CFM, 5500 RPM, 66.5 dBA, 4.8 Amp, PWM Connector (4-pin).  It is $27.00 with free shipping.  You do not have to be a Prime member to get free shipping on this one.  The seller is selling this through Amazon.  I'm sure they have already added shipping to the price.  It's worth it to me to pay $7.00 more for a great quality fan with lots of CFM.  This thing is a beast!

I use this fan as a replacement on my S4's and S5's.  I plan to replace the stock fans on the SP20's with this fan as well after the warranty period is over.  This is what you need when replacing fans for the SP20:

Here is the link on Amazon to the fan:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HQ18UDA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You see the watts consumption @ 60 watts when at full throttle with 5,500 RPM's:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__MhqY1zPK8

You see a 3 wire in 4-pin version of this fan [They took out one wire] turning the blades of another fan in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqc72EOuteU

You get to see the guts of the fan in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo7nHzNXjww

I'm starting to think these miners should have been what the C1's were.

They run with that open-built extremely loud full speed fan and still are over 50C.

Even the SP20's at Fan speed 50 are more quiet than these things.

I will use a new cheaper mod tonight-we'll see if it works. ~$20-24/miner.
Lowes in my area is completely out of pan M4-0.7 35-45mm screws. had to buy hex.
I surmise that S5 modders scooped them all up, LOL.

i think im going to probably pick a couple of these up.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835220056

they seem to flow alot of air and are a tad quieter..
probably not as quiet as the fans on the s3, but as long as they dont whine im ok.



It's my opinion that a fan with lower CFM than 4,000 RPM's should not be used on these rigs.  They do run very warm with one fan.  I presently have temperatures of 62 C on Chain #1 and 62 C on Chain #2 with the single fan at 3,840 RPM.  The Ambient temperature is 74 F.  The true purpose of getting a second fan should be for proper cooling of the unit.  One should not be concerned as much about the noise as they should about proper cooling of the rig during the hotter months of the year.

Yes, a fan with 4,000+ RPM's will cost more but it's worth it in my opinion.  Proper cooling and longevity of the rig is more important than the noise level to me.  My opinion; that's all.  Please don't take it personal.

Just a reminder:

http://www.coindesk.com/spondoolies-tech-5-million-series-b/

"Our goal is to get to 0.05 W/GHs, 0.03 $/GHs miners by mid 2015 and power more than 30% of the bitcoin network," Corem explained, adding that he believes these figures will help the company match its rival firms in the US and China.

All of that was predicated on massive availability of the 16 and 14 nm fabs being available in mass amounts by early this year, that's all been pushed back at least 6 months if not more with the fab problems earlier this year.  

All I know is I don't know what to believe right now.  Better safe than sorry!!!  I registered for one unit twice.  I intended to register for 2 units one time but accidentally clicked submit before I could change the quantity from 1 to 2.  We'll see what happens.  If I'm part of some elaborate joke, so be it.  If not, and my name gets drawn, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

After two years in the making, I'm happy to announce that we completed the development of a very efficient SAT solver for SHA256.
On Intel D54250WYK NUC with 16 GB of RAM, we're getting about 100 TH/s.

With great power comes great responsibility.

In order to protect the Bitcoin ecosystem, we'll sell each month only 1,000 SAT10 units.
The initial cost will be $5,000 per unit. We'll sell up to two units per customer each month.

Each SAT10 unit will contain the following:

- Intel D54250WYK NUC
- 16 GB Kingston SODIMM
- 1TB WD Magnetic 2.5" HDD (we'll provide SSD upgrade option)
- Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 card
- Spondoolies's Propriety mini PCI Express card
- Pre-configured Ubuntu 14.04 with cgminer, running as full node

The mini PCI Express card contains proprietary essentials close elements of the SAT Solver.

We did a large scale testing of our initial batch last week but beside testing and development, we don't intend to run our own farm.

If you're interested to participate in a draw to buy the first batch (shipping immediately from stock), please fill the following form:
http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/pages/sat10-draw

Thanks,
Guy

Hi,

I meant to put myself down in the drawing for 2 units.  I accidentally clicked submit without changing the 1 in quantity to 2 in quantity when my 4 year old hit my arm [making me accidentally tap "submit"].  I immediately filled out the drawing form for another single unit in quantity again.  I'm assuming this means I would have to get drawn twice to get both units now?  This is okay if that's the case...
2050  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bitmain Antminer S6 and S7 Speculation on: April 01, 2015, 01:47:01 AM
Any ETA on S6? At least speculative?

I'm still thinking mid to late April.

Well, with the current BTC price, I m really not sure how profitable for them is to develop new miners. The profit margin s really, really low.

I think this is part of why it's taking so long.  These big mining outfits did not get big by being stupid.  If they can run this gen gear a while longer and not rush to a new generation it makes sense to a point.

Also at a point when electricity vs hash is to low then there will be more of a incentive to go develop next gen gear.

I would have to agree with you there.
2051  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: antminer s6 4500gh/s 1000watts on: March 31, 2015, 02:22:55 PM
The new antminer s6 wil come this mont
The antminer s6 gone have 4500 gh/s
Power 1000watts
I can not wait to order

Where did you get this info from? You posted this 3 months ago and the miner s not yet here. No news about it either.

I'm fairly certain this was "made up."
2052  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs on: March 31, 2015, 02:20:13 PM
How do I manually update the firmware on an SP20E? I can't find the download anywhere on your site. (Spondoolies).

I have 2 that are using the 'latest' Firmware per the webgui, but it's using cgminer 4.7.0 still and westhash doesn't seem to work on those.
All the others are 4.8.0 with the same firmware revision. Weird.

why is this wire Necessary ? https://i.imgur.com/URnhwPH.jpg

that dont will make? what happened ?

It allows the power supply to turn on without a motherboard.

thanks answer.

I do that don't will do this wire,  what will happen?

I dont understand

I that this wire dont will make , what happen ?

Without wire that will turn on antminer this antiminer will working ?

It is hard to understand what you are trying to say.

See if you can find someone else who understands English a little better to explain what you want to know.

No disrespect intended.  Only trying to help!

Like always really nice setup dmwardjr!

Really clean electric panel man. Wondering what is the unsafe part that desertfox470 was wondering!  Tongue

Im surprice you still to profit with 10.5 cent but that awesome!  Grin

You will make a lot more profit in Washington  Grin

Keep your good work man!  

Sorry a little slow getting back.  I've been out of the loop all day today.  I've been out of town at my grandfather's funeral.  I did get to see cousins I had not seen in years from Texas.  I did enjoy that!

Thanks again for the props, Sir!

Yes, 10.5 cents per kWH is steep compared to Washington State.

At present:

6   - S5’s @ 600 watts each = 3,600 watts @ 1,150 GH/s each on average = 6,900 GH/s
18 - S3’s @ 370 watts each = 6,660 watts @ 465 GH/s each on average = 8,370 GH/s
5   - S4’s @ 1270 watts each = 6,350 watts @ 2,040 GH/s each on average = 10,200 GH/s
15 - SP20’s @ 740 watts each = 11,100 watts @ 1310 GH/s each on average = 19,650 GH/s
Total hash and watts = 45,120 GH/s @ 27,710 watts [Average of .61414 watts per GH/s]

30 inch 7,800 CFM exhaust fan @ 300 watts
2  - 20 inch box fans at 300 watts combined
1  - 16 inch oscillating fan @ 120 watts
1   - 48 port switch @ 40 watts
Total watts of peripherals = 760 watts

Total system watts with peripherals = 28,470 watts @ 10.5 cents per kWH 24/7 for 30.416667 days in one month = $2,008.84

Cost Per Hour:   $2.989350
Cost Per Day:   $71.744400
Cost Per Week:   $502.211
Cost Per Month:   $2,008.84
Cost Per Year:   $26,114.96

45,120 GH/s @ present difficulty of 46,717,549,644

BTC per hour:     0.02024
BTC per day:       0.4858
BTC per week:     3.401
BTC per month:  14.58

With BTC @ $250.00 = $3,645.00 in one month - $2008.84 power costs = $1,636.16 in one month @ present difficulty
With BTC @ $260.00 = $3,791.00 in one month - $2008.84 power costs = $1,782.16 in one month @ present difficulty
With BTC @ $270.00 = $3,937.00 in one month - $2008.84 power costs = $1,928.16 in one month @ present difficulty
With BTC @ $295.00 = $4,301.00 in one month - $2008.84 power costs = $2,292.16 in one month @ present difficulty

I mentioned the price of BTC @ $295.00 because that helped me buy six S5's after power costs this month.  I just got them going Thursday, March 26.  I'm using the profit after power costs to add more hash rate every month.

I really don't care about how much profit is made at the moment.  I'm only focusing on adding hash power to take with me to Washington State where the power is much cheaper.  For example:  With the same hash rate in Washington State @ 3.4 cents per kWH, the power costs come out to the following:

Total system watts with peripherals = 28,470 watts @ 3.4 cents per kWH 24/7 for 30.416667 days in one month = $650.48

That means you would add $1,358.36 to my profits after power costs [with my present hash rate] for the numbers mentioned above.  For instance; with BTC @ $250.00 = $3,645.00 in one month - $650.48 power costs = $2,994.52 in Washington State versus $1,636.16 in Alabama.  That's almost twice as much profit!  So, when the blocks cut in half, you see how it would be less stressful in Washington State.

2056  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: antminer s6 4500gh/s 1000watts on: March 28, 2015, 04:12:01 AM
Sent asking a few questions.  I love your setup dmwardjr.  Very clean and looks great.

yeah, it is great. one question though, what is your power cost?

with my power cost ($0.105/kwh) and current btc prices I just cannot justify running a large mining operation even with some space/power available.
In fact, i reduced my activity as we are at 80F right now and heating savings are not relevant.

You and I have the same power costs.  I'm also at 10.5 cents per kWH here in Alabama.  I'm still making money with 44.8 TH/s [All SP20's are under clocked].  I could have 48.5 TH/s easily right now but I'm keeping the SP20's close to the same efficiency as my six (6) S5's I just got in yesterday.  You do not see them in the picture.

The main reason I'm continuing to add rigs regardless is because I'm planning to move to Washington State the last quarter of this year to have access to 3.2 cents per kWH after demand charges and fees.  That will be a considerable drop in power costs for me and also help me survive the block halving much easier with less stress.  This is why I'm also holding on to my S3's.  As they can still make me a decent amount of money in Washington State with much lower power costs.  I'm keeping them running as long as I still have power available to run them. They have already made ROI (paid for themselves) except for two of them.

Isn't that really unsafe if you do a bad wiring job?

No bad wiring job!  I used to be an electrician for 2.5 years.

What are you referring to that could possibly be unsafe?

Very clean job I agree.  For doing it yourself looks very nice. I also wonder what was the unsafe part.

The burn marks on the wall Smiley Roll Eyes Grin
 Black Spray paint?

BTW I thought they were scorch marks so don't feel too bad.

It's cool.  I get it all the time.

I've been remodeling my home [It's a fixer upper].  Here you see where I had scaffolding up on the left side of the house at one time.  It is finished now.  I've put all new windows in the house as well.  I spent $17,000.00 on new casement windows for the front, back and both sides.  The house actually has two more windows than what it had previously.

Here's some of the iron staircase spindles [I'm remodeling my house all by myself]  That's part of a huge leather sectional you see in the upstairs living room:
