I will take it if you will ship first, not really worth paying escrow fees/hassle for something so small.
Let me know.

So does the tester return the item back to the manufacturer after a week?
Usually its a gift from the company to the person for proving that they are real and writing a review and how to guide for the unit, of course every deal is different and will have to be determined with the person asked to review the unit. LOL - Ah I see. No wonder there is so much pressure to send the product to prove it is legit. LOL It is one thing to just test the item and return it (with the manufacturer covering all costs) -- it is another thing if the tester expects to keep the item. Kind of a conflict of interest. I kinda agree, returning them removes the pressure to provide positive reviews for a "gift" I don't know what to tell you guys, that's the way it works around here. Perhaps when you spend some more time around, you will understand the need and necessity of having trusted members and the value they bring to this community. This thread is full of asking for proof that these things exist, the best way is what I have outlined (noticed how I wasn't even asking for them to choose me), they posted pictures and video that I have already said are not conclusive, so unless you have any other ideas on what they can do, that is the best and most transparent way. I also said that they could of course work out a different deal with someone to test the unit, but speaking personally, I believe a free test unit is the most fair compensation for the time and service it would take to do the tests. "That's the way it works around here." Sounds very old skool - LOL. I'm sorry but perhaps times are changing. There have been so many cloud mining scams, etc. -- I'm not sure anyone really trusts anyone on here anymore -- no matter if it says "Legendary" or "Senior" or whatever. Sigh your trolling is starting to get on my nerves. I am sitting here telling them how to gain trust, and instead of adding intellectual ideas on what can be done differently, you are just stating the reason we need reviewers in the first place. Seriously, read your comment, you say times are a changin, but then quickly say there are too many scams. Direct contradiction on yourself, then you fail to bring up any new ideas. Congrats on joining my ignore list for wasting everyones time. |

Coldminers are happy to announce that we are almost done with the first batch. To celebrate this together with all miners - we have issued promo coupons.
Promo coupon information:
Code: Promo-50
Discount amount: 50%
Amount of coupons issued: 5
Promo start date: 25/02/2015
Promo end date: 01/03/2015
No offense, but that is not the same as giving a machine to a few trusted members such as Dogie for review. Offering a coupon may seem like a good way to get a few out into the wild, but your still requiring people to send you money up front, which we all know never goes well. Please reconsider asking someone to write up a review of a unit and I guarantee you will make more profit from being a trusted seller than the expense it would cost to give that unit away. EDIT: I just watched the video and looked at your pictures, and again no offense, but there is nothing concrete there that shows a unit actually working. Most people can make a case like that and have something flash on a screen with little to no effort. I am not calling you a scam, but we have seen these things over and over again with fictitious products. |

Are the network switches still available? I would take a few if they are.

What are you offering per S2? My partner has 2 of them he is looking to get rid of, shipping would be from 66221 KS
I'm assuming shipping to be ~50. Looking for around 100 per unit. That puts the break even day so far in the future, but still. Found a local seller for 100 so I plan to buy those as well. I appreciate your quick reply, unfortunately I don't think we are anywhere near on price. Amazon has them going for around 400 each, so even after fees that is still over 3 times that amount. Ebay seems to be a little less but similar. Good luck on your purchase though. |

So after 30 days, my coins stop staking? Can I just create another address in the same wallet and send all the coins to that?
|
|
|
|

I will offer .42 btc including shipping for these, please let me know soon as the offer could change with the price.
This is also contingent on no escrow fees and you sending first. Please see my trust if your worried about sending first, but I am not interested in paying 5% ish in escrow fees for this, so if you decline to send first I must retract my offer unfortunately.

May be a long shot, but you said you had more misc stuff so I thought I would ask. Do you have any switches?

also, anyone tried Push&Pull with stock S5 fans on S5 to see any favorable result in reducing heat or noise?
I tried it, just makes 2x the noise and not a lot of additional cooling  The best configuraiton is 2x stock S3 fans as they're just the right strength to get the job done while not simultaneously sucking your face off. Just got home after testing my push/pull configuration with the fans I bought. Couldn't get them to run under 80 C at stock frequency with the two fans I put on them, so turned them down to 300 and they are able to stay around 70 to 75 C. Kind of sucks not being able to run them at full strength, but still averaging around 1 TH/s this way and the fans are under 25 decibels, which makes my parents very happy. |

I read back a few pages looking for information about changing the fans on the S5's but was unable to find any information so I am starting the discussion over. I received my 2 S5's yesterday and my parents promptly said "no" to the noise going on in the backroom from them. So now I need to replace the fans and my thinking was just to put 2 of them on either end like the S3 and call it good. I noticed on the controller for the S5, there are 2 4 pin slots so I figure this should be fine, but wanted to double check. I am thinking of running out and getting these today... http://www.microcenter.com/product/423765/Air_Series_AF120_LED_Red_Quiet_Edition_Twin_Packand putting one on either end of each S5, but they are 3 pin connectors, should that be fine or should I find ones with 4 pin connectors (I thought 3 pin can plug into 4 pin slots?) Also the airflow is 52.19 CFM, should that be sufficient to cool an S5? Thanks in advance, I appreciate all feedback They should run fine with two of those fans using the 3 pin connector, but you won't have speed control. Depending on your ambient you might have to throttle down the speed quite a bit to keep the miner cool. Don't use the quiet editions, they really are rather week and I doubt they'll be sufficient at any sort of ambient. The AF120 performance editions are much better suited as they're moderately high pressure but still at an acceptable noise level. I use them all the time to 'silence' various miners without trashing their cooling [Without affiliate] [With affiliate]. There are also PWM versions if you think you'll need it in the future [Without affiliate] [With affiliate]. For anyone looking to put slightly quieter fans (that still get the job done) on their S5, here's a dang good deal on a pair of Delta AFB-1212SHE. This seems to be a popular choice for reducing dBs while still keeping temps under the 60C target. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191472588964?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITTwo fans for 20 bucks shipped. Not sure what's up with the 4-pin connecter, something looks off about it. I just placed an order and will update when they come in. Hope this helps someone. Even slightly is a stretch, those things are vicious 4000 rpm fans [1.6A], I've got 6 of them on a HashCoins Ares and combined they're the loudest fans I've had on a mainstream miner. I ended up buying 4 of these to place on either side of my 2 S5's... http://www.microcenter.com/product/405571/NF-F12_PWM_120mm_Case_FanI will test them out tonight and report noise level and heat levels. |

ahh i see, so nothing i can really do with these spare computers to make some consistant money on the side other then sell the parts obviously. ?
Sell your spare parts and buy a ASIC miner from one of the major companies. That would be your best solution, especially if you have free electricity. Be careful though, this forum is full of people who got in trouble for freely using "free electricity". Remember, someone has to pay for it, and when that bill comes in they will be pretty pissed when its hundreds of dollars higher than it should be. Can a landlord kick you out for using too much electricity? just curious if its included in the lease agreement. Yea i can get an ASIC miner seems to be alot fo different ones and the really small cheap ones come in bunches of 20 i guess at $38 each. Guess ill have to read up more on it. There is soo much information can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers. I believe different states have different rules on lease terms, but generally I assume there is a provision in your lease that allows the leasor to basically do whatever they want. (do more research if your worried about it, but keep in mind that mining uses a lot of electricity, basically you were talking 3 computers with probably 2 to 3 GPU's per computer, each one would use around 1 kw of power, thats 3 kw a month, just for computers, thats roughly $200 a month in electricity just for those, depending on the electricity rate.) yes, there are many options, but research is key. Read about each company and pick the model that best fits to your situation. Some miners are hotter, some are smaller, some use more electricity, some use less, some are louder. There are many numbers to crunch. |

Depending on your ambient you might have to throttle down the speed quite a bit to keep the miner cool. That was my thoughts on the 3 pin connector. Thanks for affirming. Forgive me for not understanding, but you say "throttle down" the speed to keep it cool, wouldn't throttle down refer to slowing the fan speeds, and raising the temp of the miner? My ambient temperature isn't high, and they are in a very large space to dissipate the heat, so I am not too worried about that being a factor, just confused on what you mean. Thanks for the feedback though. Sorry, I meant turn down the frequency of the miner. There's no provision for voltage control with the S5, so power use scales pretty linearly with frequency. Those quiet 52CFM fans probably won't be able to dissipate 500W even running full out without the temps going nuts, so you might have to turn down the frequency significantly to keep everything from getting too hot. Ahh that makes more sense, thank you, guess I will look for some fans with better airflow that are quieter. Thinking this one now... http://www.microcenter.com/product/405571/NF-F12_PWM_120mm_Case_FanThat should be plenty to have 2 of those per S5 |

I got a brand new U3 straight from Bitmain over amazon. Have been fiddling with it all night and can't seem to get it recognized by CGminer. I have done all the steps and don't know what else to do? Any ideas would be helpful.
My zadig says the Driver loaded on "CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller" is WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385)
I downloaded CGMiner 4.9.0 and made a notepad file with this in it...
cgminer.exe -o us1.ghash.io:3333 -u DebitMe.U3 -p 123
and saved it as a .bat file in the cgminer folder.
My Devices and Printers folder shows the unit as "CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller"
When I start CGMiner it says "No Devices Detected"
What am I missing? It seems to be recognized by my computer, but just not by CGMiner.
Maybe start CGminer THEN plug the USB in  That's how CGminer worked for the little gridseeds,at least for me  Yeah that's one option, apparently hotplug has a better chance of detecting devices. Are you plugged in via USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0? Are you putting it through a hub at all? Ok, I can try that when I get home. I have tried it on my main desktop through USB 3.0 and 2.0, then on my little netbook that I used to run all of the AsicMiner USB devices, which should be 2.0. I am not using it through a hub, I can try that too as well though. |
