You are still wrong, most used miners come blank as well ( most sellers don't want to reveal their pool and worker details), so the chances of whatever you are claiming to happen are slim to nothing.

According to one of the Chinese miners I know, the government wants to tax the electricity used for mining, as funny as it may sound the government told miners in some regions to shut down for a while until the new electricity law gets implemented, so far the rumors are 10% tax on power, which isn't large by any means.

But regardless, all of the mining gears will have to find another home, it's only a matter of time before everything gets plugged in, I personally think the whole China news is irrelevant and that the market price could not care less.

The price has been overextended for months, if you follow my posts in the mining post I have been telling people not to buy over-priced mining gears because that price was not sustainable and a huge drop will have to come, I don't take credit for it because I have no invited the wheel, anyone who understands the basics of the markets understands that, but some people think everything is just random.

Now my projection for the price is that we did indeed hit the bottom of the correction or at least came very very close to it, all those 5k and 15k calls are likely going to go with the wind, I, however, do not believe that will go straight up, this will probably be one of the longest bear traps in bitcoin's recent history, we could very possibility extend the cycle for another year, people who are expecting 100k this year will probably be wrong, I hope that I am wrong, but I can't think of any other scenario except a for a boring market that will take months to change, regardless of what China, Elon or Trump has to say about bitcoin.

Wrong, since the lawsuit against Bitmain in 2018 all of their miners today (and most other miners) come blank and the miner won't start mining until you enter your pool and worker details.

While I don't use Slushpool anymore, I did contact someone from their team whom I was in contact with regarding some issues with BO+, he responded pretty quickly and told me that someone will attend to you guys ( I sent them the topic URL), I don't use Slush nor their firmware anymore, but I do have faith in these folks, I think they are genuine and they will refund your funds, but if they don't - I will be the first person to tag their account and support the "victims" of this incident after having heard from both parties.

With that being said, let's just hope that things will work out smoothly.

نعم يوجد العديد من البرامج, اشهرها هوا AwesomeMiner طبعا هده البرامج ليست مجانية ولكنها ايضا ليست باهضة, في حال كان لديك عدد كبير من الاجهزة فهيا ضرورية جدا اما ان كان العدد بسيط فيكفي فقط مراقبتها عبر تطبيق الحوض في الهاتف المحمول حيت انه ستصلك رسائل تنبيه في حال انخفاض الهاش ريت لاحد الاجهزة.


لاي بلد تريد ان ترسل اجهزة التعدين اخي؟


ملاحظة: حاول ان تكتب اسمي في تعليقك حتى يصلني اشعار لانني انسى الرجوع لبعض المواضيع هده الفترة خصوصا لاني مشغول جدا.

Where did he say he was located? he is most likely trying to scam you, these prices are way too low, the lowest this gear went to was about 3k when btc fell to 31k before the difficulty adjustment ( which was the cheapest time to buy a mining gear for weeks), today, it's priced at about 3.3-3.5k, these are China prices which are in theory are the cheapest.

When someone offers you a 3k gear for 1.8k you should be extra careful, there are a few legit sellers in this forum such as grace, Scott, and kaboomrack, even if you don't buy from those guys at least check their prices against the other buyers if the price is way too cheap - you should probably avoid it, there are probably 10 scammers for every single legit mining gear seller, keep that in mind.

Given Slushpool's reputation, I highly doubt they will "steal" people's funds this way, have you contacted them? what did they say? I believe Artemis3 is an ambassador for BO which is also Slushpool in one way or the other, perhaps he should be of some help.

Just so we don't go with interpretation of what "set-up" means, and judging by the OP, it's pretty clear he means some installation of a certain software/firmware, which in that case, you are wrong because all miners today are indeed pre-set.



The asic miner in the link you posted is T9+ by bitmain, yes it comes ready to mine, all you have to do is fill these 3 fields




The password is usually just "x" for most pools, the URL is something that the mining pool you join will give you, and the worker name is something you set in your pool account, pretty straightforward and takes no more than 2-3 mins to get it up and running.

With that being said, 1.2k for antminer T9+ is way too much, this gear is now worth about $200 or less in China including a PSU, so the max you should pay for it should be below $300, it's not effienct and if your power rate is above 2-3 cents you won't be making any profit, and it runs pretty hot as well, but it's a good learning object if you just want to start with it, however, do not expect to become rich mining with that old gear.

There are test points (CLK-CO-RI-BO-RST) which you can use to test the chip without having to remove the heatsinks, this is the repair manual for the S17+, the same website is also full of other tutorials, one thing to keep in mind is that if you are using the fixture tool you must NOT use an external PSU to test the hash boards.

All bitcoin miners as of today come with their own software pre-installed with a web access and a simple GUI, you just need to enter your pool and worker details and start mining right away.

If you have any device that needs some sort of software then it certainly can't mine bitcoin in the first place.

I did conduct long research on this problem a year ago, more details can be found here, long story short, the temp sensor error is very rarely the result of a bad temp sensor, which makes perfect sense because what are the odds of 4 temp sensors falling at the same time? slim to nothing if you ask me.

Your problem is a bad chip (or a few of them), we do not "yet" know why some chip failure causes the miner to report a dead temp sensor but we are certain that is the case, if the fixture tool did not help with identifying the exact chip, you will need to manually measure the volage/resistance across all chips.

If the temp-sensor error shows on all three boards (you get a total of 12 temp sensor errors) then that is just a bad PSU.

If it was this simple, nobody would mine bitcoin in the U.S, China, or any other region, everyone would move to a country where power is dirt cheap and we all will become millionaires, unfortunately, the world does not function this way.

Most places that have cheap electricity have other major issues which most people rather not go through, the majority of those countries are pretty corrupted, so just because the power is cheap it does not mean the mining operation itself is cheap, you will still need to bribe some cops, mafias or a militia to be able to mine safely, and even if you were okay with that route then your operation needs to be either so huge that you can afford to keep those folks happy or too small to stay under the radar, in other words, you need a lot more than just 60-70k.

On top of that, you will need someone to get you there, a partner who will ask for a huge cut without sharing any risk or investment with you, there is so much to be said about this, but in short, those cheap rates are not for everyone and the average joe should not even think about it.

What's more important than that is the fact that mining isn't a no-loss business that will secure your financial life at no risk, I have almost free power, and yet I have encountered some serious losses in my mining investments, there is a lot that can go wrong, the power bill is just one of so many other things you need to worry about, add to that the fact that by next halving or the following if bitcoin price fails to reach super high prices the profitability of mining will just keep going down.

It might be okay for some people to consider mining bitcoin (despite the fact that most folks lose money and are better off just buying the coin) but moving to a new country just to mine bitcoin is one of the worst ideas I have heard this year.

Care to explain how is your mining pool going to be decentralized? I don't think anyone has issues with centralized pools since 99% of pools are centralized anyway, I just don't like seeing the word "decentralized" used for marketing purposes like that unless your pool is something like p2pool then please refrain from using that term.

The way these PSUs and the miner itself works makes it hard to clone the PSU, it's a "smart-psu" that interacts with the control board, it's a bit more complex than just a rectifier and a transformer, I don't think it's pretty difficult to do but nobody cloned it probably because 1 it will cost a lot 2 the demand isn't high enough to justify the investment.

I don't think there is any conspiracy theory behind the lack of PSUs, they probably are limited to a certain capacity, I also think they did not expect the failure rate to be this high, most large scale miners I know who bought a dozen of the 19 series said the miner itself is solid but the PSU is trash, so probably bitmain had to replace a dozen of those PSUs and thus they have little to nothing to sell on their website.

Other companies like MicroBT are also short of PSUs, this has been kind of common for years now, it is why one must try to stick to buying the same miner model and get a few extra PSUs for backup, and because most miners die before the PSU does, having the same miner model has a huge advantage over having different models, every miner that dies on you gives you a spare PSU and a control board, I have more PSUs and control boards for my S9s than I'll ever need.

اخي لايوجد اجابة مطلقة لسؤالك, فالامر يعتمد على عدة اشياء, اهما هوا مدى تبات اتصالك بالانترنت والشبكة الكهربائية في بلدك, وتانيها هوا مدى "الخطورة" التي تريد ان تأخدها.

احواض التعدين تنقسم الى 3 اقسام رئسية.

النوع الاول:

 Solo مثل حوض https://solo.ckpool.org/ , في هدا النوع من الاحواض اما ان تجد بلوك ووتحصل على المكفاءة كاملة لوحدك او لا تحصل على شي ابدا.


النوع التاني: PPS

هدا النوع هوا الاكتر عمولتا, واقل حوض معروف يأخد نسبة 2% واغلبهم 4%, هنا كل عملية حسابية تقوم بارسالها للحوض يقوم الحوض بالدفع لك سواء الحوض وجد بلوك او لم يجد, ويتم الدفع لك بناء على ان حظ الحوض 100% , يعني لو كسب الحوض اكثر فسوم يحتفط بالزيادة وان كسب اقل فسوف يتحمل الخسارة وانت معفي من الزيادة والخسارة وتضمن حقك في 100% من الارباح - عمولة الحوض وهدا النوع هوا الافضل في حالة عدم تأكدك من ان جهاز سيكون متصل بالحوض طوال الوقت نظرا لانقطا الكهرباء او الانترنت.

النوع الثالث : PPLNS

هدا النوع تكون عمولته اقل, احيانا اقل من 1% , الفرق بينهم وبين النوع التاني هوا انك لن تتحصل على شي حتى يقوم الحوض بايجاد بلوك, يعني انك تشارك في الخسارة والربح, المشكلة في هدا النوع من الاحواض ان كل حوض لديه زمن معين يستخدمه لقياس المكفاءة, فمثلا لو كان الزمن 3 ساعات, يعني ان اخر 3 ساعات قبل ايجاد البلوك تمتل كل شي, في حال كنت غير متصل بالحوض لفترة ساعة ونص مثلا والحوض وجد بلوك واحد لذلك اليوم فسوف تتحصل على فقط مايعادل نصف يوم من التعدين, ميزة هده الاحواض انه عمولتها اقل وانها تتيح لك التمتع بالمكسب الاضافي التي قد يأتي مع الحظ , عيبها طبعا ان الانقطاعات المتكررة تؤدي بكل للخسارة.


اشهر احواض PPS هي Viabtc وهدا استخدمه شخصيا وعمولته 4% , ويوجد ايضا حوض Binance بعمولة 2.5% ان لم تخني الذاكرة, والكتير من الناس يسخدمونها ولكن انا لا افضله للعديد من الاسباب, يوجد حوض Poolin و F2pool و Sigmapool, انا اجد افضلهم هوا Viabtc نظرا لان برنامج الموبايل لمتابعة الهاش ريت ممتاز, لايوجد مشاكل او تقطعات, وايضا لديهم ميزة Smart Mining حيت يمكننك تعدين العملة الاكثر ربحا وتحويلها للبتكوين.

ولكن تذكر ان الامر له علاقة "بالعامل النفسي" فأنا ارتاح ل Viabtc ولكن معظم اصدقائي يستخدمون F2pool و Binance يعني يمكن ان يكون خيار الحوض مبني على اشياء بسيطة مثل شكل الموقع او اي عامل اخر قد يعتبره الاخرون غير مهم.


بالنسبة ل PPLNS فاشهر الاحواض هوا Slushpool استخدمته فترة طويلة عندما كنت امتلك انترنت تابت لا ينقطع وكانت الكهرباء لا تعاني اي انقطاع, اما الان فلم استخدمه مند فترة طويلة.

هل تقصد P2Pool؟ بالنسبة ل f2pool فاستعماله بسيط جدا, تقوم بالتسجيل في الموقع, وتقوم بانشاء worker وتم تنسخ ال worker ورابط التعدين (موجود في الموقع عند التسجيل يمكنك ان تراه) وتضع في الباسورد x وعندها سيقوم جهاز التعدين بالربط مع الحوض ويبدا في محاولة حل المعادلات ويقوم العوض بالدفع لك عبر التحويل الى العنوان الموجود في اعدادات حسابك عند وصولك للحد الادنى.

اما ان كنت تصقد p2pool فالامر اكثر تعقيدا قليلا ويتوجب عليك امتلاك عقدة بتكوين واتباع بعض الخطوات للبدء, الامر ليس سهل للمستخدم العادي ولكنه "بسيط" والخطوات موضحة بشكل كامل هنا http://p2pool.in/ ان واجهتك اي مشكلة اتناء اتباع الخطوات يمكنكك السؤال هنا وسوف اقوم بمساعدتك.

I think they sent emails a few months ago stating that accounts that were inactive for a year will be closed, if that applies to you, then you that's your answer, if not, then they probably suspect your account for being hacked or something, either ways, you should contact them first, if they refuse to grand out access and/or pay your fund, post the proof in scam accusation.

Scroll back a few pages and you will find a few trusted folks who managed a few solo-runs, Phill might also be interested, most folks have not been so active here recently so you might PM them and get them to post here, by all means, both the funds and the address to which the potential block would go to must be owned by one of those folks.

اخي مع احترامي لك فهده حجة الضعفاء, الشخص الواثق من نفسه يجب ان يناقش بالمنطق وليس بالدعاء بالسوء, عالم الانترنت والكريبتو خصوصا مخالف للعالم الحقيقي, فهنى, البريء متهم حتى تتم تبرئته وليس العكس, نظرا لانه جرت العادة ان كل هده المواقع هي مواقع نصب او فيروسات او غيرها, ربما يكون هناك شخص او موقع صادق من اصل 100 لاشك في ذلك ولكن ايضا من الطبيعي ان يعتقد الجميع ان هده المواقع مضيعة للوقت او طرق للاحتيال.

ان كانت عكس ذلك يجب عليك ان توضح تلك النقاط, ماهو الدخل المتوقع من مشاهدة هده الاعلانات, كيف يتم الدفع, من الذي يقوم بالدفع و و و.

Sorry but nobody here knows you, if you try to collect funds for a solo run without getting someone trusted to hold the funds then everyone can come here to scam, this isn't personal but I am sure you understand.
