Unless the price is really low you won't earn a profit unless the pool you point it too gets blocks in quick succession. You could gamble on solo mining with nice hash but that is all or nothing

Any updates to how you're getting on sidehack?  |
|
|
|
Yea I be the did. Saw he had over 1Ph at one point  |
|
|
|
See I told you when I ask about someone finding a block we usually do. It happened again  |
|
|
|
It wasn't mine but at least someone got it  I only post as it seems to be when I do post about someone needing to get the block...it happens shortly afterwards lol |
|

|

Come on someone's got to get this damn block. It's been far too long now.

Ck solo pool. No need to sign up just use your BTC address as the username. Details in the pool thread section  |

So what does the "LN" stand for?

How perculiar. The room I'm going to be keeping mine in as always around 20c so hopefully be ok.

250m is the standard running for mine. When I had a USB power meter plugged in line it read 1.4a at 4.54v or something like that. That's with the Y cables. Nothing gets hot apart from the heatsink on the gekkos. I use the arctic breeze fan aswell. Works well straight off the pi.
I've had the newer one upto 300m and that was pulling just under 2A. But the older one throws a hissy fit above 250m.

@sidehack Of course. That was the first thing I did, when I was receiving the miner But I was always getting "libusb-error" (something like that), when I screwed higher than 0,6V (USB 2.0/USB 3.0 only slight differences when running 4 miners). Ive found that they are like an old car sometimes. They need a few tries at starting sometimes. While cgminer is running unplug them, warm them up a bit in your hand, then plug them back in. It can take a few tries but once they are running they will be fine. Don't forget about active cooling from a usb fan or something similar if youre going to higher freqs |

I currently run two gekkos (bitshopper ones) on a raspi 3 with raspbian. They are plugged into a d-link 7 port USB 2.0 hub. It has 5 data ports and two charging ports. I use "Y" cables with one end in the data and the other in the charging port for extra power. The two sticks will run at 250 with no problems on the gekko version of cgminer 4.9.2.
I would highly suggest the Y splitter cables as the gekkos do draw more than a single USB port can provide. I do not plug them into the pi as I don't want to damage it.

I think you've misunderstood the definition of a pool. You don't buy hashpower like you would if you cloud mined (which is pointless). You buy your mining hardware (asic's) and then point/connect them to kanos pool using the details on the pool and your username etc.
You can't deposit money there either. Once you have started mining you will get paid out the the BTC address you provide when the pool gets a block. Once you have completed your whole 5n share (shown by the graph they provided on the pool) then you will be at the full amount of payment per block for your share of the work. It takes a bit of time before you reach that point. But once you do you will have a good idea of your earnings (dependant on total hashrate you have compared to the pools total hashrate).

No worries. It's got to be what it's got to be voltage wise. Really appreciate how thorough you're being with these miners.

Woohoo!! |

How much would you pay for a half working S3+? I'm in the uk so it would be plus shipping.
Got one allready sorry mate No worries. Cheers for replying. |

So it's a good thing I ordered an extra miner on the first hacked group buy. I kept one because one of the boards wouldn't run stable at or below 630mV cold, so I pushed it up to 640 and left it on my shelf. I say "good thing" partly because of that, and partly because the PSU on it started misbehaving after about two days. Now it doesn't work at all. I switched it over to my known good test S7LN and still the supply trips out as soon as it lights up.
oh okay it sounds like the two I will send to European buyers will be okay using their own supply rather then the oem. If you need some of the supplies you can send all three modded s-7ln's to me sans psu's. My one and the two for Europe without supplies. Hold the 3 as psu's spares for the other buyers. At this moment I have 8 spare psu's all better quality psu's plats and tits. Sounds wrong so make that platinums and titaniums. Bought myself a evga 850 p2 on your recommendation. Hooked it up the the old rboxs I've got and it's saving me 25-30w already lol. Nice bit of kit. Thanks for sending me the links philipma1957 |
