In reality no, but after it runs for about a month it is a low number and the equation behind it gets confused it seems.

Any reason they went with the 20 amp?   Unless it is you don't have the extra amps I would go 30 amps.

You will thank me when you get a 30 amp PDU and have 30 amps worth to power miners vs 20.   I don't see an advantage of 20 unless it's all you can handle.  I personally went 30 as I had enough amps and wanted 30 amp PDU vs 20 amp PDU.

I'm guessing most likely no.  Still is a not a horrible electricity at .06 he should do ok for near future.   Hard to predict anything far ahead.

Also we can let this thread go dont think op is reading it:

I know some don't like it but you might try the GUI.  Just to see if it works doing that.  Seems like your hitting a wall with bfgminer.   Try the gui and see if you have any luck with it.  Even if you just do it to prove stick works.

Your welcome I did not want to take credit since was all right out of your thread.     For others with compacs I really do suggest reading sidehacks thread on support.   It has a lot of good info right on page 1, that was where all this came from.

I'm did not mention OP with using windows it will be "bfgminer.exe" at start instead of "./bfgminer" as that is the linux side.   You might think about a RPI to run them it does it with very little power being used.

My fear of it is they see X address is getting a lot of carded merchandise.   It seems like eventually amazon would not ship to address.  They track a lot of things and I'm sure amount of carded merchandise is on there.

I just can't wrap head around why anyone would pay 20 percent over BTC value through this unless it was carded.  They could go to LBC for less then 20 percent over I would think on buying BTC.

Asking for email, bitcointalk account, or mobile how do your verify?  Seems like someone could use dummy info and still botting.

I think making capatcha have a time limit is possibly best way.  If it has to be solved say in 30 seconds, it will be hard for a service to get it solve it and send back in that time.  But I would focus more on amount of time and fine tune it. 

I doubt you get many offers on free miners.  What is your electricity price?

Also are you doing this for learning or trying to profit?  If just learning look at like compacs from sidehack for 25ish dollars you can learn how to mine with a usb miner.  It will not ROI but will teach you mining if that is what your after.

I think your looking at wrong examples.  His electrician asked how many amps on 240..... so were talking about a breaker. Example - http://www.amazon.com/Siemens-Q230-240-Volt-Circuit-Breaker/dp/B00002N5HJ

I think 30 amps as long as electrician say's you have that much you can do.  But I was hoping someone else would agree, or comment better if there is a better option to tell electrician.   

Make sure your setting the right com port on it.   It should work as long as that is set.  You might look in devices to make sure it's being detected right.

But if all is good just setting 1 proper com port there should work if miner is there.

Yea I'm not sure if they can tell or not.   After shipment i took off one fan once to check if all heatsinks were in place, I'm not sure how you can tell without doing it but I know that is against warranty. 

I did see some small sticker edge inside so I'm not sure what they can tell.  I have always been honest with them but have been my last rma with bitmain was a S3 board.... so been a while.

I would not run it with no fan's personally.  You should be able to get fan's to use molex and I think you should have that with PSU, but you lose function of turning up and don on fan's.

Fan controller you retain ability to turn fan's up and down.   I think that is as good as it get's with burning them out. 

I'm not sure on antenna causing have not heard of it before. Does it touch any parts on boards with metal on wifi adapter?  I would take it off if damage started after it.   But that is best guess I have is if the metal on wifi pigtail hit board on wrong spot.

I think that is command with cgminer not bfgminer.  I think it is more "--set compac:clock=x0b83"   In later versions it allows freq no instead of that, but not sure what version of bfgminer

bfgminer:

./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -O 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr --set compac:clock=x0b83
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that for bfgminer you have to use the hex value for a given clock rate, whereas for cgminer you specify the clock rate in MHz.
A table of values to use in BFGminer is as follows:
        { 100,          0x0783 },
        { 106.25,       0x0803 },
        { 112.5,        0x0883 },
        { 118.75,       0x0903 },
        { 125,          0x0983 },
        { 131.25,       0x0a03 },
        { 137.5,        0x0a83 },
        { 143.75,       0x1687 },
        { 150,          0x0b83 },
        { 156.25,       0x0c03 },
        { 162.5,        0x0c83 },
        { 168.75,       0x1a87 },
        { 175,          0x0d83 },
        { 181.25,       0x0e83 },
        { 193.75,       0x0f03 },
        { 196.88,       0x1f07 },
        { 200,          0x0782 },

It might sound stupid  but I believe with tougher warranty nowday's if you unscrew and change fan's it voids warranty.  - https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201511170341298180m44675v0613

3. In some cases, the warranty will be void, but Bitmain can still do repairs at your own expense if requested. The following events will void the warranty:
     a. Customer removes/replaces any components by himself without receiving permission from Bitmain first;

I know it sounds crazy but even a fan mod without permission is now something that can void warranty.

I would agree it is nice to see that 400+ price in head.  Makes me think were heading right way.  I'm kinda tired of 380-400 area but I guess it could be worse then that.

Bitwisdom is pretty constant:
Bitcoin Difficulty:    113,354,299,801
Estimated Next Difficulty:    120,576,340,401 (+6.37%)
Adjust time:    After 117 Blocks, About 17.5 hours
Hashrate(?):    967,826,093 GH/s

I suggest reading on 240 a little more.  He is asking about the breaker amps.   I personally would ask 30 if your breaker box can handle it.  Then get a 30 amp PDU, make sure he put's in the plug that you need for the PDU.

Wait for someone else to confirm before you tell him.  But I would say 30 as long as you can handle it. 

Not sure what your talking about.    But the important thing I was asking is it the 4.5 A you mentioned at first?

Or is it the 6A as bitmain specified?

Hopefully you got the name on who you talked to.  When possible try to get name and extension.   Did you have the info of person you talked to show driver?  Or did driver not care and said to fight it later?

I am curious to see what latest B9's will be if they are close to Feb 5th or if sooner.   Guess we won't know for a bit.

I would agree send in a request for RMA - info@bitmaintech.com . Include troubleshooting you have done and resuts, to try to save time.

Also don't open the machine or try anything like that as that voids warranty anymore.  But they should tell you what to do after email.

You would be right then.  I have not used a bot on anything in a long time so kinda out of look on pricing. 

OP what you might do is find a way to make captcha only valid for so many seconds.  So give it 15 seconds to enter the captacha. Chances are it is not going to send to service get solved and anwser be sent back in that amount of time.

Or you need to make it where you only send to address X amount of times per hour.  Your goal is to stop basically slow it down where it's not worth botting since it appears it is profitable.
