Paper wallet is not really that long of a process to do for 100 percent offline solution.  The only thing is you need to make sure your system is 100 percent clean and it's  not being stored on computer connected to internet.

So it can be done in a small amount of time.  But checking for it being a clean system you do it on is huge.

You might look at a PDU for 220/240.  You could then plug the PSU's into it.   You would need to get one that provides that wall plug or a nice adapter.

But PDU's the nice thing is if you get a good one they have proper cabling for how ever many amps they are rated for.  So it carries the higher wattage then you can split it from there to multiple miners.  On ebay you can get them much cheaper then say amazon or local store.

On S4 it is really simple you need to connect to it's IP address (should be on screen with S4).   After connecting configure it to mine on a pool and your are set. Have you tried connecting to it's IP? 

On pool it's more personal preference.  The first 2 are most common you mention.  But no problem with either one assuming you are on a good pool.

Looking at list I see a decent amount have paid for full order it appears.  Should I pay you now for the rest still owed?   

Just wanting to check and make sure I did not miss something about paying the rest.

I'm thinking devices and printers shows them to.  If set up properly they should show up in there ( I believe it tells com port in that view aswell).

I think he might look at Zadig if not working still. I think it was most common problem.

I have been trying to find any news that might have pushed btc down.  Worst I could find recently was Cryptsy - http://www.coindesk.com/class-action-lawsuit-filed-digital-currency-exchange-cryptsy/ .    Do you guy's think the fact of a decent size exchange having problem is having much effect or something else is doing it?

It's still in 430's so not horrible but is lower then a week ago around the 450 price.  So a small drop really I guess in scheme of things.

The hard part is you mention low budget a lot of miners are far from being low budget.  What is your electricity price OP? This will determine a lot as far as what miners might be good for you.

You can get a stick miner like the compac to learn not much.  But you will not ROI on the stick miner they are to expensive per hash.  So it takes a bigger investment to get a bigger miner where price of hash is not as expensive.  And next comes efficiency which is very important depending on your electricity price.

Most likely I think it will be a new batch as were so close to batch 9 being here.  So it is almost certain that will happen.  Possibly a little pricedrop will come with it.

But I think a little longer before we see next gen stuff.  I could be wrong I just think current gen at lower price is most likely. And that is pure speculation I have no good solid info on that.

As in the the Virtualbox that you run an OS in?   I would guess not to great on mining as you would be passing through any usb miners you were using.   You would be better off just running what ever OS your emulating in it as a full os.

But it would not be my first suggested way to mine with it.  Have you had any luck with USB miners passing through it to the OS in virtualbox?

Titans though I don't see as a good long term investment.  We know they are not the newest chip, just likely newest currently available to customers.

There are at least 2 batches of SFards out there mining for a private mine on Scrypt.  So you will compete with that.  Also the Titan and cube design has had a lot of people have problems it seems

If you buy 3 S7's you will be mining BTC there really is not a great sha alt coin.   So I think this bit of info is pretty false.

Also GPU's  are hard to ROI on I have not seen anyone talk about ROI in quite a while.  So you might make a little money, but chances are you wont pay off the GPU and pay for electricity.  Asics really control mining at this point.

Might try with less and see what it does, then go deeper into commands to fine tune after detection.  It's been a while since I ran my U3's on windows so this could be right or wrong.

But for detecting see what this does:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u a.1 -p x --suggest-diff 144

See what that does for you if you then have U3's showing up or still nothing.  Been a while since I used Windows with them R1 with CrazyGuy's firmware mod is honestly one of best controllers.

If your going to do anything like make driver stay during setup I highly suggest calling supervisor with your worries, and get the backing of a supervisor.   I can't imagine to many sitting there as you set it up even if it's just 10 minutes.  

And also by doing this you will make your delivery guy chances are not to happy with you.  If you deal with receiving many packages I always try to stay on good side of delivery guy when you can.  You would be surprised if you are nice sometimes it pay's off.


The good news is if they deal with in the hundreds, I'm willing to bet a RMA or boards is not a issue.  Chances are Bitmain get's to them pretty quick.  So I don't think they would take the time to pull 5 duds to send to you. But I see your point.

If you see they are opened and really do suspect that you can call supervisor and try to make sure the driver stay's.  But setting up 5+ with driver sitting there chances are low.  And again this is going to make you the drivers not so favorite client... so you would be between a rock and hard place if you suspect they are duds.

In US though there is KYC so no matter what exchange you pick... you have to provide a lot of info.   It is to prevent money laundering which I can see why governments would want.

Coinbase is actually pretty good as a exchange.  I do take extra precautions such as having a bank account just for it.  So I can move money easily into another account linked to nothing and safe.

Biggest reason on closing accounts I know is if they suspect your are buying and selling on like LBC.  That is to keep them legal though ... so not sure if they close due to no reason. 

I dont get the gambling after I mine so hard to earn last thing i am doing is gambling.  It is just a losing bet long term by gambling.

Today was signature campaign and mining.  So my favorite time as a little extra.   But mining is my main source as I enjoy doing it.

Doable.. but likely not the smartest thing as a miner you use lots of watts if you are a decent sized hobby miner.    Home miner with less might be easier.   But when you talk 10's of thousands of watts solar adds up.

The person with low electricity cost's wins in almost any comparison with solar.

I'm willing to bet it is a mistake on shipment they saw the large order you mention and assumed your box was one of them.  Committing mail fraud as a carrier... not exactly worth doing for a S7.  I think it was a screw up it sounds like for sure but sabotage.

Your option is either take package or mess with carrier for who knows how long and if they will side with you.  You might call a supervisor and explain your worries and see what they do.  But I doubt there is a whole lot besides taking it or letting them ship it back.

info@bitmaintech.com should get you in contact with them.  It is China day time right now so you might throw a email over there now.

What are you needing? Is it a RMA or other issue?

You also might look into devices and see if you see it.   Make sure it is not detected by pc and cgminer problem.

What version of Windows are you using?

Your very welcome I enjoy doing them.  I had not looked at nicehash in a while it seemed to be under 100 percent for a while.  But looks like it is up to plus  14% right now.  Is there a new coin? How many day's has it been up?
