They're not getting credit, its attributing a miner name to a company so its recognised.
Ahh ok I see the small print looking at it again "Integrator of HashFast and other chips. Offered preorders for two products which did not materialise." Thanks for explaining. |

I looked at it very carefully and that is all the transactions ever made.
So last month 6,000,000 were made so 30 x 200,000 = 6,000,000
So the 200,000 per day is correct. So a 1000ph made about 200000 transactions.
So 2000 s-7s = 1 ph
we have 2,000,000 s-7s. So we use 10 s-7s to do 1 transaction a day
10 s-7s cost about 9k.
One thing to keep in mind is S7's on batch 10 are not shipping till "Shipping out date: Starting between Feb. 16~20 following order of full payment after we're back from holiday." So for half a month are they filling their own miner spots? Some big orders? It's hard to say. And they could build a bunch mine with them and then after running till after holiday's sell as batch 10 chances are making some quick ROI's for them. |

Morning update  Estimated Next Difficulty: 141,104,050,628 (+17.55%) Adjust time: After 899 Blocks, About 5.4 days Hashrate(?): 1,030,240,453 GH/s Blockchain.info is saying 948PH Status: small miners will get.....  It is almost cray the more I think about this. We thought we had a good amount of hash out there already. But if in one difficulty they still can do 15+ percent that is a lot of new machines, and most likely new chips. And if we consider most of those are probley the big companies. I wonder what effect it has on BTC price, as likely a lot of them sell and trade for fiat quite frequently vs holding onto coins. I wish I could see a stat of how many coins mined in a day are sold vs held onto. |

Difficulty adjustments are normally about twice a month. At 8% per diff adjustment, the difficulty will MUCH MORE than double by halfing.
You are right. I have just done the maths and if we see 8% increases every 14 Days, the we would see the Doubling on May 12th. Shows how deceptive an apparently low number like 8% is, when compounded only needs 4 Months for a doubling. So let's hope, as I hoped, that on average it is less than 8%... Rich The rise of difficulty will be much higher when the 16 nm chip based miner come out from BitFury and BitMain. it depend on the value, there is a limit of the diff increase if the value do not increase in the future, and for the time being seems stagnant, so the diff will not increase indefinitely i'm expectign a slow down soon, if the value stays the same I'm not sure on slow down. We have a LOT of big players with cheap electricity, they can run at a profit where most regular people cannot. For example this week looks horrible on jump up, and price is going down. So right now.... not to bright future on mining. Will this change before having? After? No one really knows or can give a good speculation as it's a long time away in crypto world. |

I have install the OK_DICE firmware in my TP-link MR3020 device..after installation i can't enter my router by 192.168.0.99
what to do. and how to revers back into tplink original firmware..
I have tried both dhcp i mean dynamic and static..no result...
now am afraid am do anything wrong...and brick the device..
after installation complete the device is powered on but i can't access it.
I understand that without assessing it i cant restore the original TL firmware
is there any other procedure to restore it..??
please give me a help
and very thanks for quick reply..
may be i did something wrong..
Thanks In Advanced

I don't know a lot about that firmware, what miner are you trying to get it to work with? What are you trying dynamic and static on? as it sounds like you cant get to tp device.... so not sure what your changing it on. But if you truly bricked it might need recovered via serial. You might need to get a usb to serial cable, and do a little googling. But it should be recoverable. |

I bought the unit used... so it might have been overclocked, I wouldn't know.
do you think it would be the hash boards or the control board?
the strange thing was that it worked for 12h...
it was not running at a straight speed though.
Do you think I could get replacement parts from bitmain tech?
If you bought it and it only worked 12 hours... contact seller. Ask if they had problems. Also what PSU are you using with it? Is it plugged in all 4 plugs? Also on images up a few posts you need to add them it shows some edit screen, no image links. |

Hi guys,
How can I earn 1BTC a year?
is it possible? if so how?
By the way, my brother is already member of this forum, will I(or he) problem if we use the same IP but different PCs?
1btc a year is a low income why not try 5-10btc a year but youll need to work harder. Can it be posible to have 5-10 btc a year? 5-10 btc are big money for me how money hourse have to work for to have 5 -10 btc and how can do it ? can you explain it for me? If you work on real life and join signature campaign on this forum 5btc/year its very posibble.  And I think 5btc/year from this forum it impossible but if you get btc from this forum and go trading or some investment , I think thats possible. It's gotten harder lately but my big thing has been mining. I enjoy it and have kept mining since GPU day's. So it did take some initial investments but 5 a year mining... you can do when mining with a decent amount of gear. And I enjoy mining so it's fun which is also important. I see sig campaign as a complete bonus. I would be on here with or without it. So you can get some fun money through it. I waited till hero till I actually did sig campaigns. Most start much sooner than that anymore. The good thing with that is I can show I was a heavy poster even when not paid, but looking back I wish I would have started sooner. Full member I think is proper place to really start. |

I keep seeing all these posts that someone can hack my wallet. First I did not think that this could be done? If it can be done, how can I prevent it from happening? Does my wallet need to be online in order for them to be able to hack it or can they still hack a paper wallet?
No one can hack a paper wallet, but if you keep your bitcoin at a webite that holds the private keys then yes you could lose the bitcoin. the bitcoin is not yours unless you hold the private keys......  The only problem is it has to be done right. Say you use a newer printer and it's compromised.... you could lose it through there. Rare yes but not impossible. The dumber the printer the better, also if you print a wallet might look into how to clear cache on your printer. Also storage of that paper wallet is key. Best is stored on a piece of paper in a place such as a bank safty deposit box. Don't upload it to the clouds or anything or you defeat the entire purpose of it. If your actively going to be using it look into hardware wallets keeping the signing of transactions on them where eve if computer is compromised your coins should be safe. |

The antminer s7 has been great for how easy it is to setup. However, I haven't been able to get into the operating system myself and say, write my own mining code. So is there a way for me to have more control over the blocks it mines and have more of a voice as opposed to just copying the vote of bitmain?
Mine in the pool that support the same idea than you and you'll "vote" like you want. Can you tell us what is this vote ? I didn't have anything super specific but I just wanted to utilize my miners fully and not just blindly mine. I suppose it makes sense to join a pool that shares similar ideals, thanks. That is about only option unless you have a massive amount of hash. If you set up your own pool, to "vote" for your preferences you would be solo mining which is like winning lotto with small gear. So finding a pool that supports same things as you wan't is about as good as it get's. Is it just size? Or did you have something else you were thinking about? |

Oh oke, thanks for your help.
If I shut down my computer, does it safe the progress?
It should keep progress if you shutdown. You have to download it once and keep up to date with smaller downloads once you get current. It just is a sizable download if your downloading entire chain at this point. So it can take day's depending on speed. Core is a good wallet, but you will understand why some lightweight wallets are nice after having to download. |

Team viewer was really easy way to get remote acces to miner.
Thanks.
Not a problem it really is a great tool for personal use to get to your miner. It's by far the easiest option for this, and personal use is free just have a box reminding you of it after disconnect sometimes. It's a great tool though. And if you have a smart phone check out the app. It's kinda neat being able to use it on a mobile from anywhere. |

Racing along now at 70C, starting to drop (slowly) as night comes on. Ok for mild summer, and def ok for winter but when 40C+ hits...the poor little miner's fkk'd. Thinking I'm going to have to ditch the box as a bad idea, get a set of wire shelves and work out a different security option. (Wire cable to the shelves perhaps  ) Thanks for your advice guys, Crash If at all possible I would look at inside your house still. You might need to underclock or something to make it bearable to you. But I'm not huge fan of under house after thinking about it. Do you get rain under your house? Just thinking of environment and setup under house could be hard. Securing all depends on you honestly. I know my miners have a alarm system, and cameras. Is that overkill for most? Yes chances are it is. But mine is above a garage/crop farm work area. So it is really to protect both. Oh yes, the boss  has def made it clear that inside is unacceptable. I have a garage that I may make use of in the future, it is just too far away from the house for a feasible internet connection. (and so full of cr*p that there's no space). Underhouse is waterproof, but exposed to atmospheric conditions; i.e. humidity, wind, dust  Which is why I went the server cabinet (box) option. Advantage for me for underhouse is easy access to internet and power. As an experiment, and starting point, the location is what the location is; i.e. in the future I may set up in the garage, but as it is about to be demolished, I'm not running power or internet out there. The property is secure, but bad people can always get over fences. Admittedly US$500 is not a big issue for me, but I'd still not loose the miner to theft. Crash And your box may be great for short term. I just think when you hit the hot day's of summer with so little of fan's its going to heat up and be a pretty harsh condition. And elements from outside is kinda a pain. I'm not sure on your electricity prices. But if your in the market where S5 level miners are still profitable in future maybe look at Avalon 4.1's. They are not a huge difference on efficiency I think high 50's instead of low 50's if I remember right. But they run so quiet underclocked they are the most quiet miners I have used (not including like USB sticks, or old blades, etc just modern miners). So a big difference from the hot/loud of the S5. But again that all depends on your electricity price if they even make sense at this point. |

Although I don't have a first hand experience on this matter, You could connect different PSU's as long as their connected to different hashing boards with out a problem but why would you complicate the situation when you could just use what Bitmain itself has recommended APW3-12-1600-B2 plus it has more limit as opposed to using those two power supplies together.
I always have went the easy route and went with the bitmain server. If I was going to go with anything else it would be another server PSU from some of the kits around here on PSU's. I know some mix it, and it should work with exact same one I just don't like it. One blade with a 750 I would think would have two separate PSU's on it, which I'm not huge fan of and bitmain does not recommend. Will it work.... chances are yes since same PSU. But killing your warranty, which is a shame. Here is the wording that mixing would void warranty: 2. PSU: A power supply unit is not included, and you will need to provide an ATX PSU. There are 3 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input on each hashing board and all 3 are required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board! |

Usually I am happy to help out and get people up and running, and I have done so with the numerous miners I've sold and provided support to. But honestly you are coming off as a bit of a dbag and not worth the effort.
please accept my apologies, this wasn't my intention (I thought I was a bit harsh maybe after reading my post) but I'm a sceptic, so I'm usually pretty careful about people talking about best practice when their own work doesn't differ at all from the official manual (linked here in pdf for your convenience), and you do not even start to hint as to why you're making these claim. So please, prove me wrong. (and again, I do not mean to offend you, consider me as stupid old grumpy french douchebag if you want ) No apology needed, trust me you didn't hurt my feelings. I run linux, and have a few custom scripts I ran with my U3 which honestly are written in a way that probably wouldn't be much use on here. I base my advice on the 3 limit from the feedback I have received from my customers. I don't run any U3 anymore, and sold out my stock. As I mentioned, the guide was written for my customers by myself. Most see the chinese in the bitmain manual and get freaked out. Others don't want to sift through a forum to find their answers. I don't follow that guide myself because 1. I don't run U3, and when I did it was mainly just 3 via a standard powered USB hub2. When I did need to run more than 3 it was on linux (which most of my customers don't use) and was highly custom. If you still have questions than honestly I don't know what to tell you. You can save money on usb hubs if your using U3's no need for a fancy powered hub that is nice. I know I used a cheap usb 2.0 hub. Since they have power from the bricks, or a PSU in some cases the hub does not need to be powered. At the time I was also selling Avalon Nanos and the gs conpacs. So the powered hub was a necessity. Not to mention I have so many usb hubs lying around its a moot point. But you are definitely right, I should add in the guide a powered hub is not necessary. And I know it's not a huge thing. I just mentioned it as I used unpowered with R1 and worked very well. And a unpowered usb 2.0 hub works perfect with a R1 setup, and costs a few bucks. Also you can use that unpowered 2.0 with RPI as it likes them to. But I can see your point I to have hub's sitting here if I ever need to use one. |

Interesting to see it updated not a ton in still active. On hashcoins it appears they got credit for a miner never made. It lists Zeus which was a miner we never even saw on market, or in prototypes. They removed it from active and went to Uranus which does not exist.
You might pull it from their miners as they really should not get credit for a miner that never was sold and did not appear to even be made. All it ever was was a picture of a big case to my knowledge which I could be wrong.

Bitisdom keeps looking pretty ugly still:
Bitcoin Difficulty: 120,033,340,651
Estimated Next Difficulty: 141,261,643,679 (+17.69%)
Adjust time: After 974 Blocks, About 5.8 days
Hashrate(?): 1,084,629,999 GH/s
Price around 373... so again not way we want to go. This change is not going to be fun.

Do these Containers actually exist, surely there ought to be a real picture of one somewhere?
Rich
I believe it is just rendering with bitfury. I don't think it exists or they would show it off. And I'm guessing if they do have miners they are more worried about switching in regular data center. I dont see to many buyers of this if any. The one company that sold containers before for mining I believe had 1 or 2 they showed off. I think it was SP gear in it. I can't find a link. It was also not near as impressive as this rendering on cooling. |

these diff levels are going to go cray cray now. i have second hand knowledge that the bitfury 16nm is now fully deployed by large mine farms. only reason i say second hand knowledge is, i have not personally seen it, but a friend of mine, a real friend, in real life, not an online person or forum user, has personally seen the bitfury 16nm deployed and working in a nyc based mining facility. the unit takes up less than 128u rack space and is hashing around 400 TH.. yes.. TH! dump all the s5/s7 asap.. we're looking at very large jumps in difficulty coming. home mining is not dead as of yet but on its last breaths. i am expecting 15-20%+ jumps for the next 3-4 adjustments at the least.
I assumed that Bitfury only made the chips and not any actually miners. So that NYC mining company built their own miner ? i am not sure of the details, but yes, it is something that was built for them. the first was delivered sometime in december. well, since this has become a discussion thread, my 2c are on bitcoin faltering if all small miners, then nodes are killed by bitfury, etc. I, personally, don't really care about bitcoin that some corporation or even a few of those controls. There is no need to kill off home mining. In fact if they do the game will fail. Home miners are the grease in the machine. If you live in a place that you use an electric space heater a 1 kwatt miner is a viable option. There is no reason to shut that off as your safety valve. I feel the s-7 will be replaced by an s-9 that runs at .1 watts just a tad better then the bitfury gear running at .11 Bitmain is a huge mining force, and we have heard nothing about next gen. It makes me wonder if they have it in their pocket waiting to launch, or still need R/D. One would think they have been doing dev, and would have something. I can see them making S7's at lower and lower price before having. I think chances are they have perfected it as far as low cost to them, and design. So will be interesting to watch. |

And if it does .11 watts per gh before cooling it is poorly designed.
the chip has demoed at 0.06 watts a gh
At very low hashrate per chip. Definitely a tradeoff on "cost of chips" to run more efficiently vs. "lower power/cooling costs". Consider the S7 and the BM1385 - if Bitmain had put more chips-per-string in the S7, it would be noticeably more efficient - but would have cost quite a bit more per TH or they would have had to accept quite a bit less profit per unit. BW.com should be starting deployment of the B-Eleven (B11, whichever it is THIS month), might be part of the hashrate jump the last week or two. The current large hashrate jump doesn't HAVE to be all about BitFury. You do have a good point on B11. Some reseller posted in hardware saying it was coming soon. Only thing is I don't think we have seen anything besides renderings. So they are really good at keeping secrets or they don't have it perfected yet. On this container there was another company that sold containers they were rediclous on price. It did not take off they showed 1 or 2. I suspect bitfury will be the same they don't sell many of these. And it could be like the light bulb.... were still waiting for it to sell to customers, which looks like it will never happen. |
