I see there being two ways:
1) via IP access to the unit. this could be difficult or unallowed by the data center's firewalls and certainly require having explicit permissions set for the ip range of your miners
2) install a small pc that you can connect to remotely via teamviewer or similar, and use that to access the local miner IP addresses

The second option is probably the most common I would imagine

there is a lot of saying 'cointerra didnt meet 500GH' while saying 'we can achieve 800GH!'

Cointerr has units in customers hands - lots of units. hashfast has a massive line of customers still waiting on the MPP (which was a protection against late delivery - ohh the irony)

They then go on to flail wildly about having a 2.1TH miner using 3 chips. That means that the miraculous 800GH chips are actually running at about 700GH, or almost 15% under spec. I could shove 20 antminers into a server cabinet and call it a 4TH machine - would that make it a better product then hashfast's pathetic 2TH?



..the answer is yes. I would have those 20 antminers in a cabinet in less than a week from today. Hashfast might ship something in a month or two or three. Obviously my 4TH antminer system is now the greatest bitcoin ASIC of all time by hashfast standards

+1

I am scaling from 4kW to a 20kW location over the coming weeks at $0.135/kwh, with the goal being to then re-structure again and make the move to a full-fledged (100kW+) location in Quebec where power is about $0.10/kwh in late 2014 or early 2015. That's when you start looking at a million-dollar investment

I would say that 1.75-1.90 BTC is quite fair. Assuming a slight overclock of the cards can get 300GH, thats about 60% faster than an antminer that comfortably overclocks to 190GH at 1BTC.

Antminers use more power and are much bulkier, but come with fan and are more plug-and-play

not much. looking at my router for banwidth monitoring:
LAN: 22kbps IN / 25kbps OUT
WAN: 10/12
Wifi: 20/22

This is between 6 antminers, a bitfury, my laptop, and a 2MH/s scrypt rig.   Its safe to say that the bandwidth usage is next-to-nothing

for renting a co-location, you need the slowest option they have. you could probably get away with dial-up. (This is the reason i opted away from the co-location route; datacenters are designed for FAST internet and moderate power demand. Bitcoin miners only need a basic internet connection but HIGH power demand)

there is so much wrong with what you are asking...?

1) I doubt you have 2GH/s - you must mean 2Mh/s
2) your real hashrate is what clevermining reports.
3) it can take an hour to get any remotely useful statistics from the pool - have you waited at least an hour?
4) If it is detecting only 5% of your hashrate, there is something wrong with either your miner or your pool configuration

probably too hot or overclocked a bit too far. If you are clocked above 375MHz, tune it down a notch or two. If you are not overclocked, check your power supply with a voltmeter and make sure its not outside of the ideal 11.8-12.6V range

My bid is 0.325BTC shipped to canada, and is only valid for the next 12hrs (11:30 PM EST)

it definitely helps. However, there is a tradeoff between the extra fan cost ($15 for a good one with >70cfm) and how much more you will mine by overclocking an extra 5-10GH.

The real factor is electricity cost and required cooling.  Antminers generally make sense for anyone <0.15/kwh in a cooler climate or <$0.10/kwh in a warmer climate where airconditioning is a necessity.

Summer is coming, and there are going to be some very hot datacenters

title says it all, looking for an unopened gold-plated bearer bar with intact hologram. ideally under 0.75BTC

will they overclock further or is the hardware limited by fixed voltage like the u1?

I will offer 0.325BTC if it is shipped to Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I doubt the car will go for anything less than 80BTC, which would still be an absurd bargain. I would be happy to escrow if needed.

regarding multiple escrow, what you would want is an n-of-m escrow. An example of the way this works for a 3-of-4 escrow:
1) Find 2 escrow providers.
2) create a n-of-m transaction with 4 keys and 3 required for release.
3) give 1 key to each escrow agent, plus one to the buyer and one to the seller.
4) When the car is received and inspected, the buyer tells the escrow agents what to do (ie: dispute or release funds)
5) In order to achieve the 3/4 condition you need either both escrow agents to decide the deal is complete, or 1 escrow agent and the buyer. (The seller is assumed to already say 'yes')
6) if there is a dispute by the buyer; it means that for the funds to still release by 3-of-4 condition both escrow agents must agree with and side with the seller rather than the buyer - this should only occur if the buyer is making a frivolous dispute or trying to scam the seller.

This method can be scaled up to allow more 3rd parties to agree on the successful transaction to release the funds. for example a 5-of-7 would require the buyer + 3/5 agents to agree or 4/5 agents to agree against the will of the buyer

That is beautiful. I just need to scale up from my current 7 antminers now
where are you running these? (power costs, geographically, co-location or private location, etc)

not how it works. The old chips were 130nm. the new are 40nm.  (roughly 1/3rd = 9x the hashrate/power efficiency)

If the chip had the exact same footprint and power it would be about 2.5-3GH/s
Most likely the new chip will be larger and draw more power in order to attain the 12+Gh of the new chips, roughly 4x the size of the gen1 chips

an FPGA can already mine any SHA256 coin, lol

I have been censored from the thread countless times, and I dont think any of the posts were for trolling.

I own[ed] ACTM shares on btct, but sold them off when the trading went down. Looking back, I am glad I did so because there has been ZERO progress in the past (four?) months.

Initial proof of ACTM hashrate; competitor systems deployed in an actm datacenter  not a vote of confidence in your own stuff
55nm chips that are to be sold to 3rd parties and also mined with in ACTM's own data center? : cancelled all that work and investment down the drain - unless there was only a $1000 investment loss as suggested a few pages back?
28nm chips : announced as what seems like a delay and pacification tactic after the failure to create a working 55nm chip

I am trying hard to not be offensive and to stay on-topic. The problem is that ACTM is so far behind on all of its promises that there is little or no visible value to the company. At best, there are a few guys who have half-developed designs for a 55nm chip and perhaps a 1/4 scale drawing of it which they have labelled '28nm revision'

This is not trolling. This is asking for answers, proof, documents, ANYTHING BUT 'its covered by an NDA'

The auction works well for deciding an agreeable price that people will pay. There is nothing more embarrassing then to start an auction with too high a price and have no bids. (looking at you, avalon)

so whats the point? For $11,000 I could build a fairly compact GPU farm that would probably be in the 13-17 Mhash range and retain full resale functionality. the only drawback is the power draw
