Right, don't put all your eggs in the same basket. But BTC could also be considered "eggs" so you should place those too. Just keeping it, is just hoping they will gain value, which is in itself, a single basket.

Its honestly hard to say. I,ve bought a specific PSU twice and got a different sub serial batch that was branded the same... but were made by a different OEM. So one second you have something reliable from say Seasonic, then you're stuck with the same model but fitted with cheap parts.

Happened to me with Corsairs.

Might not be the case with that PSU, but something to keep in mind.

For the Molex to PCI-e. I use 2 molex to one PCI-e 6pin. I think molex safely do 70watts so you could expect safely 140watts on that one pci-e plug, but only if the plugs are quality made, from a company such as EVGA.

Anyways in the best case scenarios, it would probably be best to only run that temporarily. If you do it anyways, touch every connectors regularly to make sure they are cool. If they start warming up, then...


Hence why a wattmeter would really help. The PSU are recommended to safely supply 80% of its rated power, but thats counted at the ASIC, not the wall, so you should be okay. Just barely.

I understand your frustration, even though people don't seem to be inclined to put pressure on you for it.

Anyways, i wanted to know, will the second batch Stick be same specs as the first one? I was wondering about volt control, i read somewhere it was not software controlled, but then how do you configure it?

Thats why you need to check the transaction for double spend. Its pretty obvious when someone send you a transaction with no fee and then a duplicate appear instantly. Blockchain explorers are supposed to check that too.

Very true, in some country, you can live very well with a few dollars a day, Sad to say but living on this forum could give those persons a nice life quality in term of financial income.

Pacmics are by the TH, so expensive steps. The hash market is by the GH, so we would be talking about a minimum of tens of thousands of sats for something middle end. But in effect, you can send a few dollars at a time and buy the hash you can/want with that.

The receiver still see the money sent to him within seconds. You don't need to wait for confirmations. If you do need confirmations and it does not confirm within a few blocks, then you did not pay enough fee.

Do you have a wattmeter / kill-a-watt? At stock speed it should be able to run it fine, but im not sure its a very quality PSU, so it could degrade overtime. I would look into getting more and better PSU's when possible.

Anyways. If thats the question, Your house wont burn down overnight.

Okay but i/we really just need to know which PSUs they are. Are they EVGA G2? Low end psu like raidmax? Average corsair?

Well i got a warning from Marco because people complained that i was posting just for the reward, even though it was agreed that my post quality is not a problem. So i understand the rules, i believe. But people still attack you, even if your post quality is good, on topic and acceptable grammar/syntax.

Sound a bit ironic when some post several time more as me but hey. Thats just how it works.

My bad, i wasn't aware that a wallet that doesn't relay transaction or having it behind a firewall that refuse incoming connection could be considered a node or a full node. After all you can use them offline and in no way they could be acting as a node while offline.

The Razer DeathAdder is a very popular gaming mouse, i would label it as much, since chroma is just a version of the mouse that has leds of different colors for lightning it. You might get more hits if you label your title properly.

Okay thanks i'll keep that in mind.

The easiest to use would be the glue gun, you can even use it while the miner is on, but the opacity of the glue is too low, however combined with electric tape that might work out too. If you stick a bit of electric tape while the glue is cooling down, it might actually hold in place for a change.

I think i'll have to try that, just wondering if it would be easily removable if need be.

Yes, well if your electricity costs at home are exorbitant or you cannot mine for another reason, but you need to keep in mind, those services are there to make them money, not make you money.

I'd checkout Hashnest. In my mind it would be the only one i would trust since it's owned by Bitmain, which would have a lot to lose to default on their contracts.

S3's were fine. They have more than 3 leds thats are pretty flashy but the problems one are the Green stroboscopic ones and they have 3 of those each. I have quite a bit.

Its really hard to find people who buy/sell ASIC locally, i got one person in 3 months contact me about my local ads on kijiji. A swap from S1 to S3 would be pretty good atm. I think i would sell my Falcons and my S1's if i had a local buyer.

They are all too old to be worth shipping.

Indeed tell us your going electricity rate per kWh. Here we can only recommend you to mine Bitcoin since anything not Bitcoin goes to the Alt coin board. (But i recommend checking out Ethereum)

If your electricity rate is 0.05$/kWh or lower, some S3's would do you very well. And if you need heating at winter, you should replace every electric heating in every room with some quiet ASIC. Even Downclocked S1's for this purpose could be efficient, even if you have a higher electricity cost.

I tried sharpie, the ink doesn't seem to really cover the led, i'm not sure how to explain it. I used a thin point permanent marker and the only place i could see black was around it, not over. So i'm guessing it need to be more tar-y in consistence, but also non conductive.

I had not thought of liquid paper or whatever its called. I'd be inclined to try it, but i would probably have to let it dry while offline. And electric tape do block a fair bit, it just never seem to want to cover the led fully, so its still a lightshow over here.

Those S1 are a bit obnoxious. The single red, toned, always on red light on the S5 boards are pretty nice in comparison.

Thats a pretty good idea of a "paint" to paint over it, hmm. Any thoughts on silicon used for isolation? I figured that would be non conductive. It would be easier to do it while the miner is on, so something definitively not water based might work better?

Not bad, you'll want to edit out being a "full node" wallet to being Full verification wallet. Node is something else, that can only be done by Full Verification wallet, contrary to SPV Simplified Payment Verification.

I'd also break them down in Full/SPV but thats just me.

Good initiative.

People will still accuse you of posting "just for the reward" and that was with 50 posts average per day. So, be careful and avoid non discussion related threads if possible. If you want to post quite a bit.

People complain to Marco in private so its hard to tell who to avoid.
