Yep, interestingly enough they're also starting to offer bundles with PSUs again too, likely to lure people to buy in along with the coupons. Only the A3 seems to have sold out so far, seems like everyone is aware of the ROI situation.

Picking a reputable place to have your miners hosted helps as well (Especially now that most centers are at capacity and people are desperate to find hosting). There's a risk of theft anywhere, but ultimately you're best just mining at home anyways if it's possible and your electrical costs are good enough.

It either never came out for sale to the public or was discontinued. I recall when the product came out I Googled 'Syscooling Ebit' and 'Dong Yuan Ebit' and nothing came up, same thing happens now.

Hagssfin's post might also work.

Then correct your first post in the thread. It takes two seconds to do so, or don’t bump your year-old thread with outdated information. It’s not like you lose the ability to change things after a certain amount of time.

Okay, then it’s just clickbait if you’re still putting $90 “currently”, then. The past earnings could be anything but nobody cares about it, current earnings matter for mining. Putting garbage clickbait to get users shows a lot about your coin.

This is true, but for security I personally like to wait for ~3 confirmations for absolute security. Most of the time a single confirmation is good enough, but with three to six confirmations it's rather unlikely to be at risk of a transaction being reversed by a theoretical 51% attack.

Your transaction should be good in terms of confirmations now.

Additionally, Amazon should provide free returns for most products within a short period of time which should cover you if the card doesn’t work.

I doubt you’ll be able to run 12 cards on your motherboard anyways even with this card. Never had great success with FM2 motherboards.

Eastshore has been and is a reputable reseller of miners and I've ordered gear from them and received it I timely fashion. Plenty of other forum members have also bought from them, and besides their products being sold higher than direct (they have to make a profit too) there's absolutely nothing wrong with them.

Yeah, but you're missing the big points. The lowest MOQ for this miner is 5 which brings cost up by quite a bit, unless you've got free electricity it won't do much of anything with difficulty rising like it has recently (and these are preorders on top of that!). If you plan on buying these individually you have to go through a third party that will be selling these units high above Bitmain's prices (example is eBay).

No idea where the 80% number came from with a machine failure.

The V9 is hardly comparable to the S3. The S3 was and is still popular due to its noise level that made it so versatile. The V9 is just a plain loud miner.

Not sure why you'd want to mine several different coins at once. If you're even semi-seriously mining, sticking to one pool provides the most consistent rewards.

It's not even limited to just MacBooks or Apple devices for that matter, don't mine on ANY mobile devices. As mentioned before, these laptops or mobile devices don't have the cooling to be run at full utilization for long periods of time. It's much better to just save your earnings and eventually buy a rig if you wish to mine.

It is possible to mine with select threads on your CPU, but if you choose to do so then you'll be mining an amount of crypto so small it'll not be worth your time.

I wasn't previously aware that Fork.lol had charts for BTC and BCH mining profitability, I'll likely stay on Bitcoinwisdom until I fully understand how it works but I like what I'm seeing so far. I recall the site was much simpler back when I found it on Reddit around the time of the BCH fork (which is when I assume it was made), never thought it'd get so big.

How good a post is or if it is of quality is completely opinion-based, but generally posts that aren't considered to be good will not answer a question that is asked, go completely off-topic or just don't contribute to a conversation going on in a thread.

A post doesn't need to be extremely long or elegant to be considered of quality. What matters is what you're talking about and how you're contributing.

If you (or anyone on this thread) are looking to improve your posting, the one thing I suggest you do is forget about merits (if you haven't already done so). Everyone's hunting for merit, but you're not going far if you're actively thinking about getting it. Gain experience in something you're interested in, and watch for incorrect posts (correct them) and help out those in need of help.

Glad they finally fixed themselves up. I primarily used BTC.com's difficulty estimator in the time that Wisdom was down, and it wasn't nearly as flexible with charts and it was just different than Wisdom.

Perhaps the coupons being released right now for miners is Bitmain trying to encourage people to buy up the last preorders of S9s before they start selling the S11s (if that's what they're even going to be called)? That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw people spamming the miner threads about coupons recently.

It’s fun as a hobby and still possible to earn a small profit even if you’re mining at home. A few bucks a day still amounts to quite a bit of extra cash in the long run, and you can use profits from mining to expand on your current operation and build upwards from there. I already work a regular job and get paid, mining is just extra on top of that and it’s more interesting than simply holding.

Sorry for the slow response, but the P106 is different from the 1060 as it’s a specialized mining card and it won’t work with the board to fill it out. If you want to fill out the boards it’s still possible to buy the P106 cards, but as you likely already know they’re pretty expensive compared to other available GPUs.

We could also possibly get additional moderation for the section to save it, but I agree that the easy solution would be just to remove the subforum altogether. In my years on the Bitcointalk forum starting in late 2014 all I've seen there was low-quality posts, broken-english posts or pasted responses that repeat themselves every few pages on the largest threads. The Altcoin Discussion subforum also suffers from the same problem but to a lesser extent.

It won't work without the P106 cards. There's no workaround to that to my knowledge as of right now. If you bought it from any major retailer and you don't want to keep the mobo, chances are you'll be able to return it for free.

Just something else rather useless Samsung is marketing to get people to potentially buy their devices. Anyone with half a brain would know that buying an actual mining device or even just a regular and adequately cooled desktop computer would be able to mine more and make a return more quickly.

Monero can be mined with a CPU and it's absolutely profitable to mine with CPU. Please don't spread misinformation with zero proof across the forums. GPU mining Monero (Especially with Radeon Vega cards) is usually more profitable than mining with CPUs, but Monero is still profitable with CPUs.

Even an i7-6700 non-k processor is capable of mining around $17 in XMR per month after electrical costs at ten cents per kilowatt, and Ryzen CPUs will usually mine around the same amount of Crypto per month. Note these estimations come from Nicehash's calculator and withdrawal fees, etc are not included in these calculations.

Demerits could easily be abused, just like what's happening with merit farming right now and alts and so forth, and even just an organised group of people would be able to demerit others maliciously. What we've got with merits is just fine right now IMO. Merit farmers are being caught and red-trusted every single day now, and it seems to be stopping at least some farmers.

Yep, Ahash is auto-switching and you won't have to do anything besides initially put the miner hashing to that stratum address. I'd check in to the pool every now and then though to see if anything comes up like maintenance or a stratum server/address change. Also, make sure to set a backup pool or two as a failover in case the pool undergoes maintence so you're making the most possible.
