Correct me if i`m wrong guys ,
So for me, which i`m part of this comunity for one month and a half , it`s quite impossible at the time we speak to receive Merit Points ?
So far i can`t figure out why someone will merit me , for a post or something i wrote since i`m a little bit newbie on Crypto market and i`m not able to come with personalized opinions and very good points of view and expressing something that makes other people , " WOW , he deserve a merit point " .
I understand why this procedure , people abusing in posts for rank-up and go to bounty campaings. It`s very good for some of us, but bad for others .. so it`s debatable.
Thanks.
The way you're typing right now is incredibly difficult to read and that doesn't exactly bode well for you getting Merit. If you're a newbie to Crypto, learn and make a post that IS quality. If your post actually deserves getting merit it WILL get merited. Plenty of people have recieved merits and plenty of people are sending merits right now. The system works, you just have to make a post that attracts someone's attention like you said in your own post. |

Hi o/ I am interested in a tool/site/app for my miners that allows me to: 1. Monitor current profit/time 2. Project earnings (EG: btc|$/day) As of now, I am mining in ahashpool. So the tool should speak its API ( http://www.ahashpool.com/api/) I am tempted to store performance data in a time series database and build a dashboard on top of it (grafana...). But since I only have 1 miner at the time, it might a bit of an overkill. Also, I am sure that this is a very immediate need anyone mining should have, so.. what can you guys suggest? Thanks  Awesome Miner can give you daily, monthly projections from ahashpool, nicehash, miningpoolhub, zpool, hashrefinery, or your own custom group of pools for individual coins (or services). It can even profit-switch for you on those services. If you have a Antminer L3+, can you use it for ahashpool? I'm trying to figure out how you connect the miner to the pool. Awesome Miner looks like a great piece of software but I have a Mac. I'm thinking of setting it up on my home Windows desktop.... You'll be able to use your L3+ on Ahashpool. If you're mining Scrypt, you just take this: stratum+tcp://<ALGO>.mine.ahashpool.com:<PORT> and change it to this: stratum+tcp://scrypt.mine.ahashpool.com:3433 For username, input your BTC address and for password anything works. I assume you know how to apply these settings already. If you're using any other algos on Ahash in the future just take the abbreviations under Pool Status and the corresponding port next to it and you'll be set. |

My thoughts is that these signature campaign is obsolete in todays social media world. They can spam telegram, Facebook, email accounts, twitter etc to promote their ICO/airdrop/Bounties.
This forums would be better off with focused discussion on real issues, ideas, Anns etc. People can still earn their bounties in the other arenas. Bitcointalk has been diluted to a point of ridicule. I wholeheartedly agree with OP, but unfortunately I do not have any merit to prove this.
If organizations are still actively paying for signature campaign you can bet they're effective at advertising. People wouldn't pay for an ineffective way to advertise, and IIRC some campaigns in the past even included a link in the signature code so every click would be logged. Merit itself has partially caused this Meta subforum to absolutely blow up. Discussion between people that have a pulse still happens in most subforums, but less so in subforums like Bitcoin Discussion. I personally would like more moderation in subs like those to eliminate people reiterating the same points over and over again and to prevent signature spammers from copy-pasting and editing their garbage responses there. Ever since Frodocooper was added to the Mining subforum as a mod, spamming has almost ground to a complete halt there (though there have been times moderation was questionable like in the KNC thread). Moderation might be a bit costly but it's absolutely worth it. |

The whole Butterfly labs ordeal was the biggest joke. I remember the few people that did receive their rigs were practically ducktaped together, pieces broken or flimsy. It should be a lesson never to pre-order anything.
Unfortunately today unless you're buying a miner that is in stock or from a third-party you're still buying a pre-order. This is the case with pretty much every single major miner manufacturer. Avoiding preorders is difficult, but if you wish to do so only pre-order from trusted companies like Bitmain and Avalon / Whatsminer that have actually delivered their products and are reputable companies. |

Rent hashing power from NiceHash or MiningRigRentals or cloud mining or buy and hold coins?
If you're just going to rent hashpower and point it at a pool you're better off just buying coins like you said in the latter part of your post. You get exactly what you pay for that way and you circumvent deposit and withdrawal fees as well as pool fees, etc. GPUs are loud but I do know people who sleep in the same room as their GPUs or close to them. I don't know how they do it, I personally can't fall asleep with them nearby. |

0.1 is extremely high for any sort of campaign. Most people will get maybe ~.03 a month in a decent campaign.
From what I've seen, most people at legendary either make enough money that signatures are just a drop in the bucket or just dont like them in the sense that they're strict and they've got lots of requirements or just the fact that they encourage spamming and lower-quality posts / burst posting. I personally put on a signature so I can pay hosting for some of my miners and sometimes buy a miner or two, possibly a GPU or rig component to offset total build costs a bit.

Thask for info budd.. i try join site always must deposit before widrawt balance...i think that imposible
Yeah, that pretty much confirms the site you're looking at is a scam. Cloud mining isn't the greatest investment anyways, I'd save my money and look elsewhere if I were you. If you ever decide to try any form of mining either mine at home or have a miner hosted at a reputable location. |

some guy on ali has listed a bunch of models including 1080ti for 150 each. hes in uae so its prolly a scam. he has 1000 available so maybe they are stolen from the shipping container.
If you've got the knowledge to steal GPUs from a container you probably also know how much they cost, 100% scam as you said. They're probably not even stolen and it's just a plain scam. It would be very interesting to know what will be the cost of video cards rx580 by piece and if purchased wholesale. Could you then unsubscribe as you will know...  If you ask around here you'll find the price pretty quickly. You can even just contact manufacturers like MSI and they'll send you their bulk prices. |

I'll try explaining at least a part of PPLNS. Every time a block is mined, the number of shares rewarded is approximately 5 times the difficulty when the block was mined- at this moment the N value would be around 15T, so the last 15T shares would be rewarded per block and this count does not reset when a new block is found. Because of the 5N, as you mine rewards will stack on each other until you hit the 5nd, when you will be fully rewarded. You eventually create a running average. When you stop mining, the 5N moves keeps moving 'forward' and less of your shares are rewarded until all your shares are completely out of the 5N, which is the ramp-down. The last 5N also listed at the bottom of the Rewards page: https://kano.is/index.php?k=payout(rephrasing Kano a bit here) Because the N in PPLNS is 5 times the difficulty, 5 blocks at 100% difficulty means you get your full reward. If more or less blocks are found then you just put the number as the numerator on a fraction with the denominator as 5, and the resulting number times your expected reward is what you are paid. Correct me if I'm wrong. Quoting an older post:
A PPLNS pool also pays miners proportionally to the number of shares submitted when a block is found, but it doesn't reset share counts after each block. Instead, it always keeps account of the last N shares, which is usually something like 10 times the current difficulty. This means that a single share will quite probably be used in reward calculations multiple times, but the payment for one share is lower on each occasion. This also means that pool hoppers can't exploit the pool by mining there only when other user's share counts are low, because they are never low.

Most scam cloud mining sites give out large amounts of 'free' hash to reel in unsuspecting people or say that you need to deposit BTC to withdraw your mined BTC. Pretty much no site actually gives you anything for free legitimately. If you're looking to invest in cloud mining at all, only invest what you can afford to lose and choose slightly more reputable sites like Hashflare.
A link would be helpful as well for deciding whether or not the site's a scam. I'm confident it is, though.

Interesting design considering most high-gpu count prebuilts I've seen are usually enclosed in a case, and the PCIe switch they're using is full custom and seems to actually work! I'd personally be interested for the exact noise level of the device in decibels and possibly temps. Looks nice and neat on the link you posted to another review, keep us updated!

This happens especially often in the Mining sections of the forums, whether BTC or Alt. I just wish there was a way for more people to see stickied posts on the top of certain subforums (maybe make it mandatory for first-time users?). The search function isn't the greatest on the forums, sure, but Googling your question usually leads back to Bitcointalk and going through a few pages in the subreddit your question belongs to usually works too.

Personally for the second part, I think all of the sales of accounts and the campaign garbage should be banned. I see it about the same as a bum picking change up off the sidewalk. They are actively harming the user experience to make a few pennies. Instead of solving the problem, they make these complicated workarounds when you can just ban the people doing it in the first place.
I understand where you are going, but although banning campaigns could solve the problem regarding spam, because the only reason people spam and farm/sell accounts, is due to the profit that comes from campaigns. But there is nothing wrong in using part of the forum for advertising, and I think completely removing that feature would actually harm the forum and even the crypto ecosystem. There are some good projects being advertised here, and I actually invested in some of them after I got to know them through this forum. That is a good thing, and there is no need for drastic measures. I think that if there is a way to allow "adds" on this forum, and at the same time allow users to have good discussions without having to navigate through tons of spam, we should try it. I think mods are doing a good job here. We already have the serious discussion thread, where adds are "banned", so no reason to make it as a default "set up" for the hole forum. As I said in this thread, I came to the forum to participate in a betting competition. How "off topic" can that be? The only relation to bitcoin was that the prizes were paid in bitcoin. I then started using sigs to try to make some bucks, that are quite important for me, but I've also learned a lot about bitcoin and crypto. So it could be said that I came for the "wrong reasons", but it ended up opening a lot of doors to me, in terms of acquiring crypto knowledge. I think that everything can be achieved in this forum, and things are getting better, and the merit system is a step in the right direction. Banner ads exist on the forum and people regularly bid for banner spots in the Auctions section. It's possible to block banner ads but they're still a form of advertising that dissuades people from spamming, and besides the serious discussion thread there's other threads where signatures are blocked like the well-known Wall Observer thread in Speculation. We could also just disable signatures forum-wide temporarily and see which direction spam goes in as an experiment. |

MyRig((bitmainwarranty) is really a top notch outfit. They are the most dependable repair company(second only to BITMAIN themselves). I have been trying to fix S7 & S9s but it is HARD, I'm impressed at their success rate. They're not magicians so they can't fix everything obviously. Their customer service is understaffed but don't give up, they give you your best shot with out of warranty hardware. Expect a month or more backlog too but thats what a crypto craze will do.
Thry're also transitioning sites from Bitmainwarranty to MyRig which could also be part of the backlog (Haven't even been able to pay for hosting costs for the last month due to the warranty site being down, support didn't really say anything about it but miners have kept going). I exclusively trust them for board and miner repairs. |

If the bounty manager gives merit to those listed in campaigns is it better that they could post reviews of participants and distribute merit orderly posters but not all recieve merit,Especially in short time post not fixed well.
Sadly, there is a lot of Bounty Campaign managers and most of them are not checking their members posts the reason it is the most reason of spams and shit posts because the members do care only on fulfilling their maximum posts and do not care on how they are doing their posts. I personally find most of them come from Altcoin bounties and not campaigns from the Services section as most campaigns paying out in BTC have better campaign managers that actually do their job and thoroughly look through posts. Merit is completely opinion-based which is good and also bad, and it'll take a bit more time for it to work correctly, if it ever will. We'll see soon enough whether or not Merit is actually a viable system. People constantly forget the system's only been out for about a month. It's not completely set in with everyone yet. |

I've heard many different opinions and the last was that you must keep the fans at 100% and this will extend the life span of the gpu's. I run my fans 70% and the temp is around 82c and you could not touch the cards.They're extremely hot. But i think my problem is not from fan adjustment instead of space ventilation. I have placed too many gpu's in one room and have no option to put some king of fan to get our the air. Do you think this temp can cause some damage to the cards - evga 1070 ti.
Cheers!
Problem is the fans on some GPUs break pretty easily if you keep em at 100% for a long time, and replacements cost time and money. At the very least 80c+ is subpar and you should consider moving some GPUs to another place to lower temps or undervolt to reduce power consumption and thus lower temps a bit. My oldest RX 470 ran at 80c for a year and it's still going fine, though I moved to a cooler spot a few months ago. |

https://shop.bitmain.com/antrouter_r3_ltc.htm?flag=overviewNo price information yet, but these are the specs: WiFi standard 802.11g/n, 2.4G WiFi transmission rate 300Mbps ASIC chip type BM1485 Number of chips 6 Hashrate 9.9MH/s Mining mode Mines on any pool Power consumption 23.2W (220VAC Power @25°C, 85% conversion efficiency of built-in AC to DC power supply) Mining power efficiency 2.34 W/MH (220VAC Power efficiency @25°C,85% conversion efficiency of built-in AC to DC power supply) AC voltage input 100-220V AC Input current 0.5A Noise 50dB (at 1m from the ventilation ducts, at an ambient temperature of 30°C, in a silent room) Operating temperature 0 - 40°C Storage temperature -40 - 85°C Operating humidity 5%RH-95%RH,avoid condensation Product weight 0.608 grams Package weight (including product) 1.145 grams Product dimensions 208mm(L) x 148.6mm(W) x 69mm(H) Package dimensions 250mm(L) x 190mm(W) x 90mm(H) Hashes faster than an R1-LTC but with a clock function and more chips. I may personally consider buying one of these if the price isn't ridiculously high, seems like a nice fun gadget to play with. If anything new comes up I'll rebump the thread, I like the way Bitmain is going with smaller gadgets right now.

MyRig also sells S9s, PSUs and other miners and they're a legitimate company. If you don't want to buy a preorder from Bitmain, though they do charge more than a lot of forum members charge here. If you're looking for the best price I highly suggest you check the Computer Hardware section, and if you find a deal, USE ESCROW. https://myrig.com/shop/ |

Instant Transactions. Not instant confirmation(depending on the coin), but instant transactions, so color me surprised when I had failed to fully pay an invoice and I requested a refund. While we typically process refunds within 24 hours of submitting the refund request, please allow 1-2 business days for processing. We will notify you when the refund is complete. I also never knew that coins utilizing mining and a public blockchain only work on business days. Furthermore, they have botched the payment method by requiring Bitcoin Payment Protocol, they hide the payment address and require apps to pay, on mobile with no dedicated wallet I use other online services..and I couldn't do it, it was thanks to a kind soul on reddit that I saw the method to find the payment address. They supposedly enforced BIP70 for security and less man-in-the-middle attacks (but by using BIP70 they're able to 'reject' BTC transactions). I appreciate their attempt at more security, but like you said many wallets still don't even support BIP70. If you know any businesses using Bitpay right now, I strongly suggest you urge them to use Coinpayments, CoinGate or CoinsBank- they're perfectly good alternatives and unlike Bitpay they're not trying to sabotage BTC. The faster people change over to these alternatives, the better. |
