2061  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature Campaigns on: February 19, 2016, 10:57:52 AM
I have a few questions to begin with.

1. What's a signature Campaign?
2. How to I successfully do it?
3. Do I need a legendary account to join a signature campaign?
4. Is 0.1 btc enough to buy a legendary account?

Thanx..

well, based on your questions it seems, that you come here to earn quick money with sig. campaigns and you are not interested about bitcoin at all. I have to warn you, that individuals like you are not warmly welcome here.

They hear of making money off sig's.   A lot don't realize how much time is put into this forum.   I love Bitcoin so I spend a ton of time reading and posting on here.  I always have since start, heck I did not even do a signature campaign till Hero member status.   

OP use your time at beginning to learn.  You really can wait till full member to join one and not lose much.  Chances of joining and right away being able to do a lot of helpful posts are slim unless you learned it somewhere else and came here later. 

Focus on learning is  my advice for your first few months.

You talk about things which have almost nothing to see with the system.
the system is about the U2cloudmining site and not about the U2 mining only.
By the way...the U2 will perhaps be sold...do you believethat if the U2 is sold the system will collapse?
Certainly not...

It is hard to discuss with people who are not interested to understand the system.
The system is now set.
People take part or do not take part...it does absolutly not matter.
For me it does absolutly not matter if the system has succes or not...it does just matter for the investors...
if you produce a movie and all people talk bad about the movie without having watching this movie...you just avoid the investors to make money.
here it is the same:
You give you opinion and you do not know about.
What you see (the datas) are datas from the past...one does not know the future.
if you are here to help people in a right way,then explain them the priciple better than me...
But you just talk about in a wrong way,and you understand less than the investors thelselves.

You do not help people here...you make people confuse.



You are trying to confuse people.  All I care about are 2 numbers the amount invested and amount paid out.  You gave both:

Total invested:0.36640338 BTC
Total payout:0.04682193 BTC

Your talking about .32 ish btc more you took in then paid out.  Directly from your numbers I did not make them up.  That is a horrible payout rate.   I don't get why you do a long winded post trying to make it sound legit.... you paid out like 12.5 percent of invested.   That is a horrible in any investment.

Past is a big indicator on future.... and your past flat out stinks at 12.5 percent.  Your U2's will mine less just look at difficulty and you think your payment rate will go up? Whole thing does not compute.
2063  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Much trouble setting up sp20 to static ip. on: February 19, 2016, 10:48:15 AM
My trouble starts with this simple problem. Without getting the miner to that ip, it will NOT connect to the internet, meaning I won't be able to access the config page.

myminer.io forwards to start.spondoolies-tech.com, while connected to the internet,

When I setup my antminer S3, I could locally connect the miner straight to my computer to the miner via Ethernet. Can I do this with the sp20? when connected to the sp20 on 192.168.1.1 [http://imgur.com/OoUwtHR pic here I can't explain it, and go to myminer.io, nothing shows up obviously cause the dns won't work. Now I know I need to find the actual ip the miner is communicating on, but I have tried nmap and netscan to no avail.

If I reflash the firmware, will the miner go on a default ip and then I can communicate with it, or will that not work.

Thanks

I kinda see two different questions.  Should you be able to connect to a computer and share connection?  Yes if you set the right settings you should.

I'm kinda reading between the lines here but is IP address of miner different then your router?  Or what is reason you wan't to do this?  If it's different you could connect to computer and switch IP address to router range.  I personally would go direct to router instead of going through a computer unless that is only option.

Hey I figured out a way to get it connected to the internet but yeah my problem before was a could not get the miner to connect to the internet without that static ip configured into it.

Glad it all worked out.  You will be much happier overtime with it running direct to router vs going through computer.  That is just a pain to have long term.

Best of luck mining.
2064  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: New Miner X5 on BitFury 16nm chips on: February 19, 2016, 10:46:08 AM
Funny.

You guys all know that Bitmain will release something that destroys Bitfurys 16nm tech right?

They always have before and im sure it will be a mic drop again soon.


No one knows on them as they are not very public about things they work on, which makes sense as if they say we will have a new chip X date... sales drop on current gen.

We do know they listed another  batch of S7's so at least into march that is what they are making.  It's hard to say if/when they will have something new.  There has been no leaks or info to show they have a chip or will soon.

i agree. while i have been wondering what bitmain is working on i also remember, i think correctly, that we had with the s7---
----leaked rumors up to 7 months before hardwear in hands (s5+ and s7 talk)
----leaked tech info around 5 months ahead

so for no leaks (that i have seen) about new gen bitmain hardwear one has to wonder  ---
will they just DROP something?
will they use cheap power they have and mass setups to fight their battle with s7's?  is that even possible in this exahash stage?
oooo , excitting times
could get ugly or wonderful real quick.

o , and im on board with others here before me saying
"i'll believe it when it ain't just a rendering and words"  (and have btc waiting)

-watching

An old article with Jihan Wu of Bitmain clearly state they are going with 16nm this year.  ==> http://bitcoinist.net/exclusive-interview-jihan-wu-bitmain-s7-block-size-debate/

Do you think you will be moving down die size in 2016 as production costs come down, and improved quality at this level happens?

"Yes, we will be moving down to a 16 nanometer die size in 2016. 16 nanometer technology has come a long way in the past year, with lower costs and better yields."

The year of 2016 still has a lot of time left though..  He talks about lower costs.... I'm guessing S7 likely is perfected on cost lowest amount of chips high freq.  From cost I think S7 is cheaper then a new product for them.

I could be completely off base I just see S7 as being cheap currently for them on production.  Also I'm hoping it sticks with one freq/speed on new model whenever it is S7 had to many variants.

As much as OffTopic can be a breeding ground for spam, those same spammers would then turn to the bitcoin forum.
Games and rounds for sure should not count.
That's why we call it with "OUT OFF TOPIC" so people can say anything there  Wink

I love the idea of this.  Some  Games & Rounds are a ton of short little post's, it is horrible when you look  at some who frequent it.   It's obvious spamming on some.

Off Topic is hard I avoid it as so many crap posts.  If you can't do it for entire thread maybe mark certain threads:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=551747.0 - 2700 tv recommendations... no way people read entire thread.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=686828.0 - over 4k posts about Russian pictures.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105136.0 - 3.8 k of Asian girl thread

Those are just a few examples I would love to see off topic as a place that does not count.  Maybe say after 10 or 20 pages in offtopic posts don't count.  It's these huge threads that are just full of utter crap.

Wait for the 16nm Chips..

I think the price of the 16 nm will be very high. They will be priced slightly better than S7. Even if you can ROI, it will take long time.

it was the same for s7 it was very high at launch, but there was people willing to buy it at even higher price

so if you can do the same trick of trading directly your miners after a few week of mining before any other, it will be worth it

Also depends on where you go with it.  Ebay at start can bring HUGE premiums, but it can have scammers and be a pain.   I was doing great on all my sales of last gen.

But a week later... get the dreaded email they say they cant mine with a S5+.   Had trouble getting a anwser back from them for 3 day's on what was going on.   Not sure what changed but they then said they switched PSU and worked.     But it appeared for a few day's I was going to have to deal with a "bad  buyer"
2067  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Introducing people to BitCoin via business cards on: February 19, 2016, 07:35:25 AM
Be sure to put a giant QR code on the card as well. This will help people being directed to the bitcoin.org website for further information.

Also I would try to make it look like an infographic to make it more fancy and attractive.

I think this is all going to come down to cost.  There are all kinds of great ideas.  I think it depends if hes talking about thousands just to pass out... likely nothing to special and being cheap is important.

If giving to a select group that is related to buisness he's in then lots of cool options.
2068  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Introducing people to BitCoin via business cards on: February 19, 2016, 06:34:06 AM
I had a awesome idea I don't think I have seen anyone do.   Sidehack makes some great compac's.  If your budget is high enough try to commission a business card that is a usb miner.   

Have the PCB oversized and can print info on it via PCB.  And have it actually be a compac on your card that works.  Not sure if that is in budget but would be a very good way to get people to try a miner via your card.   
2069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed bitcoins on: February 19, 2016, 06:26:35 AM
Without trying to tap that same amount twice, and that is a pain in the ass, you have to wait.  There is just no way around it.  Did you spend from a software or online wallet?
Spent from my blockchain mobile app.

Sorry, you are right, you said that.  I was just thinking that there may be an easier way to push the double tap from a downloaded wallet.  I cannot even imagine getting into the Android handling.  There is no such thing as a "debug" or "console" in the that mobile app is there?

You cannot double spend via blockchain I don't think on computer or mobile app.  He would have to go to another client and import... again add that it's a pain.

Unless you need it within next X hours/few day's I would just wait and count it as a lesson.  Next time make sure to send with fee.

2071  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Diff thread Feb 7 to Feb 19? picks are closed. on: February 19, 2016, 06:21:15 AM
looks like a large amount of mining hash slowly shut down in the days after the chinese new year ended.  i am thinking that they are now shipping these units to customers and we shall see ALL of the prior hash rate AND MORE up and running on the network within a week.  this is just the calm before the storm.  20%+ next jump is not outside the realm of whats possible.

I think there is a good chance it's Bitmain on S7's on a decent amount.  Small user's have gotten notices (at least some) on shipping.

And look at big side of it PCFLI's group I like to watch due to being a large quantity ordered. They still claim not to have miners it seems - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1283287.240

Next one will hurt if these all go back online and if bitmain fills up slots with next batches S7's.  The next batch they show shipping as " ANTMINER S7 BATCH 11 - Shipped out from March 1st~5th" so likely they will run those for a small bit of time.
2072  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER U3 Discussion and Support Thread on: February 19, 2016, 06:13:10 AM
I am normally a big hash guy but have recently started getting into the "fun" stuff and have ordered some Compac's, U3 and R1's to play with.

I was wondering if there is a good guide to running these from an Rpi?  Is Minera the way to go?

Thanks in advance

Best way with the U3's is a R1 with crazy guy's custom firmware.  I think it is the most solid controller out there.  A lot babysit U3's which is no fun on such a small miner.

If you don't go with the R1 and crazy guy, you will need a way to automate restarting of zombies as they are a pain.

I have a couple of Compac's and CrazyGuys Rpi for those but not his R1's, he was/is out.  I do have a couple coming though and wonder if would make it available to me

The great thing is he released his custom firmware to public.  So no longer is it just his customers, he kept his word once he sold out he posted it.

Bitmain does have batch 2 up it has been going up in price though... which kinda stinks.  But it was a game changer for me going from having to restart the U3's to the R1 taking care of all of it with the custom firmware.

Might take a look at Phils thread- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1369207.0

He is someone who actually is doing a new solar operation with a good partner.   It is a pretty nice looking solar farm in that thread.
2074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed bitcoins on: February 19, 2016, 05:51:34 AM
Not sure exact timeframe but I believe it should not be sent and is noticed by blockchain and goes back (been a while since I read one of these).  So you should be able to wait if I remember right.

Other option is preforming a double spend.   You can look it up but you need to send with fee's especially that big of transaction.
2075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Would like to see how I can get some bitcoins in on: February 19, 2016, 05:47:12 AM
It's not worth it as others said on mining with GPU's just to much cost and not enough income (assuming your power is not free).   The crazy thing is depending on algo you can get a USB stick that chances are beat's your GPU on speed - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=612390.0

That is a link to the FutureBit Moonlander.   If your wanting to learn or mine scrypt just for fun I would get one of it and go that route.  These on the high side can go higher then those little zeus (not by a ton but a little). 

But with what you have now use the two zeus and just give your gpu a rest I would say.
2076  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Solar array starting to look good. on: February 19, 2016, 05:38:27 AM
Beautiful setup the solar does look amazing.   What is timeframe you think till you get all solar gear paid off and running on complete profit?

Best of luck with it would love to see you guys doing great on this.
2077  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Community Miner Design Discussion on: February 19, 2016, 05:27:51 AM
Very exciting project...thanks

Just a side note: Personally, i don't have S1, S3 or S5-had all three types, but sold them off as they became obsolete.
Buying used S3 or S5 again just to fit the new board?
Miner might have higher demand than boards, but I might be mistaken.


I'm in the same boat for my electricity price I got rid of all older generation miners.  I felt it was best to sell and buy BTC vs mining when I did calculations I came out with more BTC this way.

So I would have to buy them for this.  And chances are as soon as you say X miner it fit's parts miners take a jump in price on that model.   It might not be possible but I would love to see a complete miner without using other miners gut's cases.  And that might be to hard of a feat when keeping prices low I do realize that.

But best of luck with project.

2079  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: What would you do? on: February 19, 2016, 05:15:22 AM
Word of advice,  do your legwork FIRST.

I had/have access to power <0.001$/kWh.  Gold mine right?  WRONG.

Okay what could go wrong? Well as others said do you have the wiring/service capacity for any sizeable amperage? Yes? GREAT....

Not so simple... Is it 120v only? Can you run 240v?  This affects your infrastructure costs and PSU choices.

Got power all figured out? Lets make some $$$$$.

Not so fast... You stick 10kw of any hashing equipment in an enclosed space, and best case scenario the gear has safe thermal shutdown, now you see your gear thermal cycling over and over because the room is too hot.  Worst case, you have a fire.

This isn't to insult your intelligence or capability.  But I learned the hard way that simply having access to cheap power and having capital to buy the hashing gear does not mean you will succeed.  The infrastructure, setup, lead time, shipping costs, it all factors in.  Cooling capacity (really think more in terms of rejecting/venting heat, not cooling), and power capacity are big factors.  

Do your homework, cross all your T's, dot the I's, then go back and proof read ALL your work, and then pull the trigger.  PM me if you want.


There is a lot of initial setup costs for a mining area.  That includes wiring, cooling, etc.   But the good thing is a lot of these are one time buy's and you can just replace miners with new generations.

On fire use proper guage wiring is best advice.  If you do most gear should also have a shutdown at a certain temp.  So between those two you should avoid gear as you will be actively cooling it if it's that hot.   

Just start small and grow is my best advice.  I know on cooling I had to keep tinkering till I was happy during summer.   It took a professional gable fan before I was was happy with exhust.  So it can be some tinkering on best setup for you.
2080  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Are we all going to power consumption hell? on: February 18, 2016, 10:13:29 PM

Right now compumption is a lot on last gen gear with normal electricity prices.  I sold all my last gen gear and bought coin's.  I was just not making enough to be worth it. It will go into buying more miners not for sure yet if I want more of current or wait.... I'm torn but I do feel good about selling now on last gen.

I think eventually, the power consumption will be equal to the earnings from the all the blocks rewards+ fees. It does not matter how advanced the miner is.

i don't know about that.  I think there has to be profit for some to continue at this point.  Bitcoin is so big and has a lot of power behind's it's network.  One day the fees alone should pay for the network .. but were pretty far away from that currently.

But always going to be profit or we lose a lot of hash.  Just coming out equal financially will be hard to convince many to keep mining.
