Probably not a good idea in practice because the worker difficulty gets too high for the U1/U2, but it works fine.
Worker difficulty makes no difference to performance. It's fine for difficulty to be suitable for the combined hashrate and not each device. If worker performance was tied to diffictult solo mining would be impossible since the only share that gets accepted is one that is higher than network difficulty. |

so its all LUCK !!! else there would be nothing for years........correct  Unlike most things where luck is involved, you can do something to increase your luck, just add more hashing power. Luck is a luck dude  you can not increase it is it is just luck.i am not aware of any math that can predict it. However adding hash power is increasing your chances to find a block for sure Finding a block is "luck", or more correctly it is chance. By increasing your hash power your are increasing your luck, i.e. increasing your chance of finding a block. |

I'm having a budget under $5k not too much but not too little too. What do you think that would be the most profitable solution? In terms of consumption/earnings ofc.
Buy $5k worth of bitcoin today. 0 consumption, biggest earning potential. $5k in home mining equipment will never see ROI. |

Got a U3 today and can't get cgminer to recognize it. Computer knows it is there, driver is correct. Tried it in direct usb2, powered hub 2, and usb 3.
Installed cgminer 4.9 instead of the newest one and it works now.
Yup, I pointed that out in a couple other U3 threads, I think in the official cgminer thread, too. cgminer 4.9.1 will not see U3s, but 4.9.0 will. Send in your bug report, hopefully it can get picked up next build. |

I'm looking for a profitable miner to run at home, I'm willing to pay the electricity and keep the rest of the BTC so it has to have relatively good profitability.
What is your home electricity cost per kwh? AFAIK, nothing like what you want exists, there is no such thing as "profitable home mining" for bitcoin, hasn't been for a year or more. I think an S5 would be too hot to run in a home environment, but you could probably play with an S3 or something like that. |

You cannot have a psu that is both on and off at the same time, you're asking something that doesn't make sense.
LOL. Never said I want it to be on and off at the same time. I want to power a PC and miner from the same PS, but if the PC is shut down, I need the PS to be on for the miner to still run.
Thats exactly what you said. If the Power supply is on, it means the PC turned it on via the 24pin cable. when you shut down a PC, it turns off the PSU via the 24pin cable. You need to buy a second power supply Hence the question. How to go around that. I didn't say I want the power supply off. I said WHEN THE PC IS OFF, how to keep the powersupply still on.....  You cannot do what you want to do. Everyone has tried to explain it to you several times. It is phycially impossible. Use two power supplies. |

Some people can afford to mine at a loss, and that makes it a profitable business
Uh, what? It's not "at a loss" if is is "a profitable business", you have to pick one. I mine for hobby, I mine at a loss, I want to see the difficulty go down down down! |

Thx to everyone, I found already one.
@MikeStang
Can I come back to you, when the new PSU burns in the next time ?
Where are you located ?
Yup, I'll still have them, they're in a box in my garage. I am in California, USA. |

Isn't there a feature in bitcoind to receive coins by IP or is that original satoshi code disabled? It would make this kind of project much easier and no registration needed...
Github discussion about that here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/5783 |

This is not user friendly. I have a full node running I think. 17 connections and it shows up on the node map. I have no idea how to run a webserver or register my address however.
What OS? for ubuntu to validate you can, make a temporary directory, then make an index.html file with your bitcoin address in it, eg 1Zevusze7BjTpp4srJhx4zkRBxpbgwU4A .. I use nano, so just nano index.html then input your address, ctrl-x and save. after that, run screen from that same temp directory. after screen starts up: sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 555 (that puts a webserver on port 555) after that, ctrl-a + h to detach from screen then: sudo curl --ipv4 -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -d 'bitcoin_address=yourbitcoinaddress' -d 'url=http://xx.yy.zz.xy:555' https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/api/v1/nodes/xx.yy.zz.xy-8333/and finally you screen -r to re-attach to that screen (assuming you're only using one screen) and wait for the bitnode IP to show up on the log, if it doesn't after 2 minutes or so, you probably have a firewall issue (unblock port 555 in iptables or ufw or whatever you use). after that, press ctrl-c to quit the python webserver, 'exit' to leave the screen process, and you're done... for a month I think, anyhow. For Windows I was recommended Abyss webserver: http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/ - http://www.aprelium.com/data/doc/2/abyssws-win-doc-html/index.htmlI got it set up and working pretty quickly, and with help of other posts in this thread got my btc address for my node registered. |

Bitmain has started shipping S5s, wonder if they'll be bringing more online in there own pool as well. Interesting to see if these batches of S5s have any impact on difficulty. |

They're all the same person, it doesn't really matter. This is the illusion of American democracy, which is nothing more really than a corporate run system now. Make the people believe they still have a choice and that their choice matters and the system will continue to pump out the same garbage it has for decades. Garbage in, garbage out. |

Been floating around $260, we just hit $268 - are we on a breakout??  People excited for the end of the weekend/month, it's payday? Or after the equinox eclipse they're sure the world isn't going to end? Maybe a rally around the difficulty dropping. |

Glad to hear it. Happy solo mining.
Thanks, just as a back-up. |

Try http:// before the IP address. cgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u (name) -p (password) --btc-address (address) Doh, thanks. Working. |

I am having a bit of difficulty getting solo mining to work. I run a full node (PIX >8.5), I can mine to pools no problem, so the problem is internal somewhere. My bitcoin.conf file looks like server=1
rpcuser=(name)
rpcpassword=(password)
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332
I start cgminer 4.9.0 with cgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u (name) -p (password) --btc-address (address)
and I end up with  and never seem to "connect" and the program closes. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? |
