Some people deal with dozens of PM a day, having to manually check everything every time is a lot of work, and not every user that they deal with are users with avatar or with a lot of posts.

Its pretty easy to catch an impersonator this way and it does not affect legit users.

I don't think people realize how many of these attacks there were daily.

0 mean chip is reporting, X mean the chip reporting wrong, but does not automatically mean that it is not working - mean it is not reporting. This at least i can answer.

For the HW, my S1's dont have it on the GUI either, but the information is still there on the miner. Screen -r is not installed on the S1, but maybe it is on the C1 (i have no idea). Simply SSH into the miner with putty.exe, login. Not password could be admin instead of root on certain miner. Then type screen -r. If the package is installed you will see the familiar cgminer window with all the data.

Then if you add the miner to a monitoring software, like M's Miner Monitor, it will also be able to read the data through the miner api and show it to you.

Oh and. Welcome to the forum.

I had no problem doing dealings as and with people with the flag. People will just expect you to do escrow, you'll only gain instant distrust if you refuse escrow, refuse to prove you have the goods with the typical picture + handwritten note.

If anything, there is a certain bias because most of the people with that flag are often people who don't want to follow the etiquette. Those who does lose the flag momentarily.

That would work, but i would definitively go for a EVGA G2 1300w instead, cheaper than those 2 PSU combined, better PSU, no risk of having a part not powered at the same time or part of the miner shutting down after a surge.

If you already have them available or are a hardcore fan of picking up PSU of varying OEM, then sure, i guess it'll work anyways.

Yes, it is really needed. I am very small time here, only picking up some small deals from time to time, i don't deal in pricy stuff or anything of significant value, yet 4 persons tried directly to scam me. So imagine how bad it is for bigger players.

I also reported a couples of impersonators that were posting in someone else's thread, impersonating the OP, "reducing the price for a quick deal" and giving a BTC address, then also sometime sending PM to the people who had replied to the thread to raise their changes. The warning is here to prevent mostly this.

Its a necessary evil, one that a new account can get rid of quickly and if you are legit, it does not even apply to you, since it merely say "If you were expecting a veteran user, then this is not that person."

Yes, people buy dead boards for parts. Unless the board is really damaged, the chips cracked, etc, the board can be salvaged for its components and even chips. Depending on where you are, if in north america or can ship there for cheap, even i would be interested in a cheap one. If elsewhere in the world, some others pick up dead S5 boards as well.

Sound like typical dead boards, all my dead boards do the same thing. You can check core voltages to see if the voltage to the chip is good, can try a reflow soldering. To be honest trying to fix a board is kind of a pain, takes time and expertise.

Assuming the PSU and the controller is good, after assessing that, the only thing you can try without expertise is a reflow soldering and then if that does not work, you're better off selling the deadboard and enjoying your 1/2 miner.

It cannot, like i said, you cannot use different PSU for a single board. So to be more precise;

At an estimate 1200W at the wall, to give an idea;

-PSU #1 will need to draw 800W~ (2 boards)
-PSU #2 will need to draw 400W~ (1 board)
-PSU #2 would ideally power the controller as well (which power the fans), it need its own 6 pin, not its own PSU. Total 10 PCI-e pins.

Actual power draw of PSU#1 would be a bit lower, but overall a 750W PSU should probably not be asked to pull this much.

Last thing, if you get a corsair make sure the OEM is Seasonic or Superflower, they have some batches/series that used low quality OEM.

Personally i think i would go with a EVGA G2 1300 with this. Any 1300+ PSU made by Seasonic or Superflower behind whatever brand should do.

This is it, for using 2 PSU on a miner. As far as using a ATX PSU anyways.

No, it does not matter if your hashrate is 10gh within a given hour and 100gh in the next. I'm pretty sure that in a daily thing, you're just being hit by the obligatory payout variance. Look at the dashboard you will see last day luck, etc.

One day the pool simply find X block, on a worse day, the pool find less than X block, hence variance.

Theres 3 boards with 3 PCI-e each. You can't mix PSU for a board. So you need to power 2 boards off one, 1 board of another, not sure 2 Corsairs is the way to go. The Controller just need to be powered, it does not need a dedicated PSU.

The boards need to be powered before or at the same time as the controller.

Pen modding would not be a problem, is that actually doable? If someone would kindly point me to the information i need to do this. If not, i'm not very familiar with soldering stuff, but i have a soldering iron, maybe i could do it?

Yes its not really a risk if its like buying a coffee at the starbuck. And one transaction when you are buying something on the internet should not be a big bother if its something like an full priced AAA game.

And the confirmations that "we" recommend to wait before releasing whatever products is not really about the 51% attack. Its more in case we get a rollback because a split or a bug occurred. Some transactions can disappear when that happen, it did in the past, no idea if it will happen again.

Okay so you have 3/4th a miner, not 1/2 of a miner. Would be more than 200$.

And replacing the board is strait forward and the go to solution when you have a dead board. But your is... half dead. Sound like it could go at any time. But not necessarily worth swapping it out yet, if the miner also run at the proper 3/4th of the power consumption.

Anyways the boards don't work together or anything, they are completely individual, they are merely two different miner running on one cgminer, so you can run 1, 2, 3 or 4 (or more) on a controller, you can even hack together a way to connect them through USB to use a miner on another OS to run them.

So buying a good board is exactly the same as buying a used complete S5.

The metal card in a fire-retardant safe would not be a bad bet and fairly easy to find. Otherwise, i'm not sure. The card would not melt but the ink on it would and the metal would be dark and singed, so possibly erasing the information on it one way or another?

Regardless, i think you should engrave a very valuable key on metal, and then put it somewhere fire cant really destroy it, like in a safe or in the basement somewhere fire can't get around.

First of all, the rumored S7 lite was a 2 board design, which is not what we're looking at with the S7 "now lighter", just to point out what i meant by one and the other. The now lighter S7 seem overpriced to me, it is the same price as what the default S7 was. So an actual S7 light, or one with 2 boards that does 3.5TH/s could be more attractive.

Then the 5% seem unlikely for any amount of prolonged time, if it does it would probably be because BTC keep going up at the rate it is. Also don't put all your hopes on ROI'ing a S7 solely on the current BTC price, it could go down.

Since we have cheap electricity here, your rate seem to mean you're mining at home counting the rate after the first 30 kWhs in a day, i think a better miner for you would be the S5, or maybe even a S3 depending on the profitability of the next 3 months and how much you can get them for.

Do the math, but i doubt the S7 would be better for you than a S5 at a acceptable price, by quite a fair margin.

The software i am am pointing you at is CGRemote.
CGwatcher is a watchdog program for a localhost miner so not exactly what you want.

But CGRemote is a paid software, also i'm a bit surprised you're saying Cryptoglance does not have a remote shutdown command. Anyways i tried cgremote and it mostly worked (not very will with the S1's) but it is (or was) paid software

With TeamViewer, you can connect to your miners as if you were there locally and enter the kill cgminer command in terminal. So if your miners are overheating or whatever, the miner software will stop, so the controller will idle(power down the chips) until you tell it to restart mining or reboot it.

Aweh man, you're the best, thanks.
I intend on running them with the outside hair blowing in them to cool them off for a while but when it get colder, i thought it would be nice to mess around with volt, especially for efficiency.


Does that mean the machine take -vddc voltage command or such? Because gaining a bit of efficiency i could run 2 or 3 on one 15a 120v, would be nice. So if the machine has a easy way to down volt, that would be very nice.

I been trying to find information about this, the most relevant post i found was sidehack saying he would try to hack it, see what the efficiency it gets at different voltage and would then post the performance sheets at different voltage, i did not see any followup to this.

I dont feel like bothering Sidehack in private, so does anyone have information about this miner's design that could allow me to undervolt it?

Hmm, well i guess, i've used Multibit, Multibit HD and Greenaddress, though Greenaddress also has a auto-calculate fee thing that is pretty nice. Since we're talking about Bitcoin core here then yeah true. 0.0001 just seem very standard so i mislabeled it as "default".

Ah okay, that sound good too. Still would not mind longer runs but then again i guess it doesn't matter. Or A faster cycle would allow quicker update on spot closed and spot opened.

Maybe we should set a rule that if you go AWOL for X time your spot become available to someone else.
