Regarding getting paid 8 times on some shifts, I've actually gotten paid 10 times on certain shifts.  We all know that the luck is random, but it's still fun to rent hashrate for a short period of time, to see if you can earn the "investment" back, and also try to solve a block for the pool. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, it's basically gambling! ^^ From a success "bet":  Anyone else doing this? |

Hei! Interessert i å finne "fellow-miners"/se hvor mange vi er fra skandinavia. Så, kom gjerne med en kjapp reply om du er en!  Det kunne vært interessant å vite hva slags hardware dere har og hva slags strømpriser dere opererer med! Myself: 6x S7 5x S1 (offline) 0.08$ kW/h Her er en quick peek av min rig for de som er interessert i det: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oabV90lx_rIPost gjerne bilde/video av deres opplegg og! |

Halla! Har selv mistet kontoen "torepia" nylig, sucks!  Sier du moderator har en finger med i spillet? Ev. hvilken moderator? |

Site is down, would appreciate a fix!  Edit: Aand its up. |

Regarding luck, a wise man once said "Bad luck lasts longer", because good luck blocks are always shorter than the bad luck ones. -organofcorti? Keep this in mind when the bad luck strikes.. its all in your head! |

Okay, thanks for reply! Would it be possible to change the fans with quieter ones if you only run 1 blade in the enclousure? You probably don't need the same kind of static pressure when there is only 1 heatsink to push air through? |

How loud is it if you run it with just 1 blade installed?  |

I see philip and nhando adding a lot of TH, I'll join you when my transaction goes through! Lets find that block! |

Gotta love this contest, makes it all more fun! If you're going to change the rules, you should look at the average hashrate numbers. As it is now, you're better of pointing your miners elsewhere before the contest (to lower your average), and then rent a couple of PH/s at the start of the contest. You would still be below 250TH/s on average. Looking at the total hashrate average AND a max 250TH/s per shift, would probably do the trick. For the record, I did not do this, I rented about 200TH/s from the start of the contest, just saying its possible with current rules. |

it could cost 2.200.000$, aprox, but the most amazin thing is that you can "transport" your mine center over world with only a truck...  well, this is borderline price assuming maybe two more months wait. Why? S7 is $789+shipping=~840 for 4.7Th, but I will go with $789 number because there are discounts for large purchases, which will negate shipping 16000Th (container)/4.7=3404 S7 equivalents 3404X789=$2685957 It would take Bitmain to simply lower S7 price to ~$605 to match the container price per Th (although without counting better efficiency). Conclusion: Bitfury has to lower the container price to 1-1.2 mil to have a significant competitive advantage and deploy en masse vs Bitmain. I think you need to add cooling costs and the cost of creating a room for hosting many S7's. I'm pretty sure cooling 16 PH of Bitfury's immersion cooled chips, will require less energy than cooling 16 PH of S7's with air circulation. (Pure speculation on the immersion part, but only realistic way to cool 2MW in a container IMO.) Property cost/rent should also be in there! one idea would be to shrink that container (maybe 100-200 fold in volume) from 40X100 ft to 8.6X21.5.4 ft or 6.8X17 ft box respectively that could fit in the backyard. It would do 160Th or 80Th and use 20 or 10kw. Such mini-box would sell well to bitcoin mining prosumers. I'd buy that in a heart beat actually! |

Question on buying S7.
If i place order and dont pay with Bitcoin. Do i take there bank info to my bank and the will wire the money to them?
Do NOT pay via your bank, they are going to punish you for ordering with fiat, and delay your shipment. It happend to me, and many others. Pay with bitcoin if you want them to ship your order asap.. |

Philip: Wouldn't is be possible with immersion cooling with 3M novec 7000 in a 2 phase system?

Found a small bug in the reward view range when converting btc to NOK. https://i.imgur.com/W7BpUGv.png0.6 btc = 226 usd = 1961 nok Seems like it is counting 0.05 btc as 0.5 btc or something like that. Thanks. |

That would be perfect actually. A rather silent 4TH would be awesome, and a 1TH pod is the dream!  |

Punin's gotten in touch with me. There's no feasible way I'll get a million bucks but he's working on making small orders possible (if only in a roundabout way) which is definitely nice.
Good to hear you are involved. I'd really like to see you making a miner with these chips! |

Thanks for your efforts, appreciated!

How are you guys protecting your hardware against extreme weather and power outages? Do you shutdown the miners if there is a possibility for power outages? I'm asking because of the strong winds that is hitting Norway today, measured up to 42m/s. My electric company has warned us that we should be prepared for power outages. Should I shut them off? What can happen? And can I protect myself from it? How you secure yourself against theft etc. would also be interesting, for the sake of discussion. Weather stats: https://www.windyty.com/?2016-01-31-12,63.417,10.417,6Picture of my intake and outtake/exhaust, guess which is which!  My other concern would be the wind closing the window where the air comes in, making everything overheat. PS: Anyone know why the [img] tag won't work? Cheers cryptotore |
