If anyone is having a bad day with crypto market, remember that today in 1976 Roland Wayne sold his 10% stake in APPLE for $800. Now it's worth $58,065,210,000
Sweet news thanks hey anyone have a coupon for more then 200 I have a lot of 100's I have one 200 But a big one would be nice as I want to buy some more gear. me bitmain email is philiparcario@yahoo.comwish I have. got lots of 100s. Am done with buying hardware, just spares when required. Yeah I cut back a lot but figured if someone had a 300 or a 250 or any other big coupon I would grab one more . I had 17x 100 and when I ask a while back some one gave me a few 200's I grabbed some gear. and I still have the 100's. hwy, was ignoring bitmain's emails and just found out I have a 220$ coupon. Tried to donate but your email is not correct. try just philipma1957 see if it works. If I recall they may want that rather then my email. |

Hey I have more rants developers charge 2% fees.
ebwf
dstm
bminer
claymore
for zec why?
seems to me if you drop to 1% even 0.5% you would force the others out, but no only 4 guys they shake hands and stick at 2%
EWBF *IS* configureable on dev fee. I do agree that 2% is a total ripoff, given none of them offer any significantly higher hashrate than the others, and Claymore at 2% on his ETH miner is only worthwhile *IF* you use the dual mining feature (which IS unique), as a straight ETH miner it's VERY little or no better than the last Genoil release from what, 2 years ago? how do u change the ebwf fee it was with Novc19 |

Scorpio, pools do not know your hashrate, they only estimate it.
and a 1 day test is not accurate as 900 sols could simply have a bad day and vary a lot as much as 10% since the pool decides your rate by the shares you submit |

I think you are confusing revenue with profit, but here is historical revenue data. I downloaded from blockchain.info two files: Miners Revenue (total value of coinbase block rewards and transaction fees paid to miners) and Hash Rate (estimated number of tera hashes per second). I divided the first by the second to get revenue per TH/s, et voila...
your chart is a joke another shock value statement to get attention. I started in July 2012 the network was 14 th which was mostly gpus 2-3 per gh or say 2500 per th so 2500 hd7970's were worth about 300 each = 750,000 usd a th for summer of 2012 and power used was close to 500,000 watts for that 1 th so what if it earned 10,000 a th per day

No offense phillip but not all of is have a solar array for power like u do. Mining was easily more than 2 times more profitable a few months back. The numbers are bad now and this is without taking into account future upcoming difficulty increaaes. There will be those who never break even. Mining at loss is no fun. Bitcoin holders have made alot more than miners in the last year.
it has gone up and down every year since 2012 when I started. if you look at last years price of coin for march 12 2017 it was 1050 todays price is 9168 so 9168/1050 = 8.73 to 1 if you look at diff for march 17 2017 475,705,205,061 if you look at diff for march 5 2018 3,290,605,988,754 so 3,290,605,988,754/475,705,205,061= 6.92 to 1 so lets see price goes up 8.73 to 1 and diff goes up 6.92 to 1 this means you are doing great. that is why the op is clueless. he dates back to jan 2017 I just dated back to march 2017 and you can check every number from jan 2017 to march 2017 and the op is far better off today then he was during the jan 2017 to march 2017 time frame. when I make a shock statement I am very careful to be able to back it up. and anyone that thinks that today march 13 2018 is worse then it was a year ago as the op said is clueless. Now it goes without saying mining is not as good as dec 2017 but the op did the jan 2017-march 2017 time frame as his start point. If he did nov 2017 or dec 2017 as his start point I would have agreed or not posted.

100-120% tdp miners that do rmas
Oh shit I shouldn't post a picture of all my RMAs? nope  you goose killer you!!!Seriously the argument in your favor would be its a fad (mining) and won't last so squeeze every nickel I can get out of it as fast as possible. Same is true with coinswitching and asics for all coins. With enough believers that is exactly what happens. The goose dies a few years or even decades early. Hey I have more rants developers charge 2% fees. ebwf dstm bminer claymore for zec why? seems to me if you drop to 1% even 0.5% you would force the others out, but no only 4 guys they shake hands and stick at 2% here is the key only 4 guys miners = 4000 or 40000 or 400,000 guys it is easy for four guys to agree to rip off 40000 guys it is not easy for 40000+ guys to agree to rip off 4 guys. Simply post in dstm thread every miner will mine with the first developer that drops to 0.5% fee we think you are smarter then the other 3 morons so we all pick you. then to show we are real we all switch to dstm upfront, fucking the other 3 programmers and dstm sees the light and does the switch to 0.5%. We all the zec miners in the world would never do that. But those four programmers have all agreed to do that by all charging us 2%. Best of all they don't ever need to talk to each other or contact each other they simply match the 2% and it is an unspoken agreement with no way to prove it. While if we the zec miners do to them what I just typed it would be really hard for us to coordinate and may even be considered to be doing rico law violation in the USA We work at this disadvantage as miners all the time.Which is why some miners will do 110% tdp and rma a lot it is why a miner will do switching coins in hopes of better returns. other tricks from gpu miners buy some cards from amazon in nov and return them in late jan. getting 70 days of free card use. My edge is the solar array and the willingness to not overexpand |

this is the btc section op post should be in alt coin.
profits are down.
2 months ago profits were high.
it is like the tide it rises and lowers in cycles.
I have 24 1080ti's I liked it more when they were paying 6,7,8 a card.
But at 2 a card it is more then the power it costs.

Phill i have a question for you,i follow your threads and most of the time you say that you either point your rigs towards nicehash or you mine zec but dont see you mentioning mining other coins that bring more profit like signatum bitcore and raven durring that period.So i was wondering is there some special reason behind that like you think zec will be huge or you just dont love shitcoins Can't speak to phil, but I've found that those "higher profit" coins only tend to be higher profit for a day or two, then everyone "discovers" them swarms them and swamps the profitability back down to the "basket" range. Too much work for me to "chase the profit" any more, as a general rule. Yeah i get that part but still mining zec is on the lower part of profit..how about using multi pool/algo switchers like sniff dog or nplus miner,what do you think about them or is too much stress on gpus? 3 rants. asics for all coins coinswitchers 100-120% tdp miners that do rmas Goose murdering mofos for those that miss the reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goose_That_Laid_the_Golden_Eggs |

I am actively working on 6.0 and I hope I can release it out before next week. I am also working actively on a big release (after 6.0) which would bring additional hash algorithm supports in bminer.
I am not ignoring any of your concerns. During the last two weeks, I just focused more on the development and did not get time to monitor bitcointalk thread.
Here are my answers to questions about console hashrate, rejected shares, and private connections. I will also update FAQ because these questions have been raised many times.
# Why the reported hashrate of Bminer is higher than the reported hashrate from mining pools?
Bminer reports hashrate generated by your *hardware*, while a mining pool
estimates the hashrate based on the number of submitted shares. The Bminer
hashrate is different from the pool hashrate because:
1. The Bminer reported hashrate includes the devfee.
2. A small portion of the generated shares may get rejected or become stale due
to network delay and transmission problems. Bminer reported hashrate will
include such shares, but such shares will not contribute to the pool
estimated hashrate.
3. Your pool hashrate is an estimate based on received shares, therefore it
will vary a lot unless you control a significant amount of hashpower and you
run it over a long period of time.
4. Some pools may calculate the estimated hashrate incorrectly.
Specially, if you turn on nofee option. You will see the same number of
hashrate but the underlying computation is slowed down due to disabled
optimizations.
# Why I see rejected shares when using Bminer?
There are many reasons for rejected shares. Two primary reasons for rejected
shares are:
1. Network latency: If your latency to the connected pool is too long, then a
valid share may become stale and invalid during the transmission. This will
cause the share being rejected. The solution to this problem is to choose a
pool server that has low latency connection to your rig.
2. Overclocking: Aggressive overclocking setting may cause GPU to produce
incorrect results and therefore generates invalid shares being rejected.
Software bugs in Bminer may also cause a small portion of rejected shares. We
will keep improving bminer and reduce the number of rejected shares.
# Why Bminer starts private connections to bminer.me
The first communication checks the update and receives license information,
including for example where to mine devfee. Note that in this communication
bminer *does not send out any information*, it only receives information from
bminer.me.
The follow-up communications only send runtime information of bminer, like the
mining speed of each card and performance status. This may enable bminer to
choose better optimization strategies. Starting from version 6.0.0, these
follow-up communications will become transparent.
I am using bminer 5.4 from simplemining.net https://www.nicehash.com/miner/3QPFEdX8rtXHoVZHct5eUbp7AK1t1vRMfLwill run it for a bit. then run same gear on dstm I will also check to see if simplemining.net will update to your latest version 6.0 to all 2% is a huge amount of money op has no incentive to steal as people would just stop using his miner and go to dstm lets see what my testing shows. |

me? I'm waiting for the next gen top of the line nvidia 2080 ti and buy many and/or wait for 1080 ti panic sell and buy many..call it a year..see you all again for the next big thing hehehe yeah all I have are 1080ti's so since they are 11gb memory I would hope for a fork of equihash and of monero maybe a few other al-gore-rythm's will let them keep value. I may be shifting to sha-256 once I get some dragonmints and maybe avalon 841s you must be enjoying now the advantage of having solar power hehe..... that's the way to go.. it is the only way for me to survive at this. if we keep under the 18-20kwatts it is 'free' power |

Thanks Phil, With summer heat coming and uncertainity about future mining, I think I will get rid of some GPUs as some people with better facilities than me seems still able to expand, considering current unavailabilities! In Europe, you cannot find a brand new RX570 under $400 currently, and you have to be lucky. And used ones are at the same price. You US guys can actually get better deals with Ebay than us! you guys have that vat markup so 300 here is at least 350-375 by you! |

this is an alt coin topic
i asked mods to move it.
the answer is download nicehash software and point just the cpu to cryptonight
you will earn about 10 cents

You are clueless
Shock value answer. Above.
Mining is not that bad at all
If your s9 makes money and you paid 1300 for it in nov you are doing fine.
And. Yes mining at a loss was something we used to do.

Remote management software.
The ability to power cycle are key.
Good stable internet.
Proper wiring and psu’s.
Don’t overload the circuits
40. S9 pull 60kwatt which means you need 80kwAtt before you derate to 60.
Proper venting to cool off gear .
All of that and gear can work for weeks on end

Monero will try to resist by forking but Baikals are FPGAs and can be upgraded (unlike hardcoded ASICs, that probably explains why Bitmain is not even in play for a XMR ASICs).
Seems odd that Baikal would release a FPGA miner at this point, everything else they have done to date was ASIC. I think their earlier models were already FPGAs - I recall flashing older Minis to add algos and profit-switching using the supplied serial cable. I have a few Minis with old v1.1 firmware version that only mine X11 when I got them (end-2016?) and after flashing them, they can mine X11, X13, X14, X15, Qubit, Quark algos, just like subsequent models like Quads and A900, A2000. The Giant series started the inclusion of the other funky algos we know today. I rather get Baikals due to the multi-algo features VS Bitmain's ASIC single-algo miner = value for money. FPGA is a good differentiator for Baikals - Baikal should stick to FPGA miners since they got well-known because of that. The older Minis, Quads and A900s are still hard at work mining X13 - they consume very little power and we just left it alone doing its thing at one corner of the warehouse. The Baikals have good quality parts and build and I have no issues getting help from tech support if needed. They even sent me spare Pi controllers, cables, etc. Maybe I will get you to pick some up for me. As to how I run only nicehash and equihash. I have a lot of accounts like this: It is 1 omen gamer pc with 11 months on warranty paid for with sales of some 1070tis. So even though it was 2325 - 195 in coupons net 2130 that 2130 is rolled back from the 1070ti sales. So it is roi already. and it now earns 122 a month 61 for me and 30 for host after he pays for power. This business model works and is why I can sell gear on this site at really good prices over and over and over and over again. As I am in sales as much as I am in mining. Or maybe more in sales then mining Except for Nov 2017 and Dec 2017 where mining profits were huge  |
