Bot not being reset, 4th day over deadline. Wake up Marco and guys, time to do another round pls.

I asked if anyone was able to contact him above as it seems it did not go the day he said it was going to.   The hot wallet appears to be funded.  So not sure if it is him or Bitcoin_Boy$ that needs to tell the bot to pay out/reset.   

Shows Marco signed in today... so hopefully he's on it.  I still think a assistant is a good option if they can find someone he trust's enough with 1 week of hotwallet fund, and bot to make sure it reset's and pay's out would be nice.
302  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S4 Setup [HD] on: June 30, 2016, 10:39:53 PM
Any modem or router recommendation? Currently when I connect my S4 to my router after 15-30 mins of running, my internet starts to shut down every 1-2 mins and I believe it is because of the S4, so I don't know if I should buy a new router or a new model or it is simply non-related.

A S4 should not cause your router to lose connection.   That amount of traffic for one miner should not lock up any modern router, or a lot of old ones for that matter.   

Are you trying to run on wireless or anything? Or running straight Ethernet cable?  What is your current router, is it a all in one modem/router or two items?

Exciting day to watch the value so far.  In past 24 hours we had low of mid 430's and currently on coinbase at low 670's and pointed up! http://www.coindesk.com/price/

I would love to see it go up to 700 again, would be nice to hit it again.   Hard to say if we get that lucky though.  Add that to bitwisdom showing a low difficulty change this period is starting to look pretty good.

As the title says,I have been stuck at 94% forever.I know few of or most of my reports might not make it to the accuracy but there are quite a number of reports which after reporting are taken care of.I'm concerned why the accuracy is still stuck here ? What does that imply? Thank you.

I don't think it's broken it's just the higher you get in number of post's the longer it takes to make a percentage.  I recently went up 1 percent so I know it is moving.  I am curious what happens when 2 people report same thing though as someone else mentioned.

Its much easier to go down then up.  I'm currently at "You have reported 459 posts with 89% accuracy" and it was at 88 percent for some time now I went up one.   It was not a short period of time though.
305  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer S7-LN Network issue on: June 29, 2016, 09:55:48 PM
One small item to consider, though it's not very likely.

After changing your password, you might want to review various options with the S7 configuration. In particular where it is mining. At various times, usually in a hosted arrangement, somebody will find that their machine has been changed to mine on somebody else's behalf. While I think it's unlikely that your network has been "hacked" a password change would likely prevent any previous exploits from working.

Just something to consider.

Change router from default password and add a decent one is a good thing to do.   It should in most cases keep someone from getting on your network (there always could be exploits we don't know about) so can't say 100 percent sure but I can say with a decent password on my router I have not had a single issue with miner being changed to someone else (granted it's just me on network with my miners to).

What hosting center are you having that issue with? Is it a lower budget one?

Marco I have a PM.

Please read! Thanks. Smiley
*he asks about limit

How can he read a PM u have ?


Not sure on that one.   And limit has been for a while 100 not 150 (I believe).  Don't know how long but it's been quite a while.

Anyone able to contact Marco and tell him reset/payment did not happen? And I do appreciate all he does to run campaign.  I can only imagine how many PM's he get's a day asking to join, or issues.  Guessing it adds up on time.
307  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer S7-LN Network issue on: June 29, 2016, 08:49:01 PM
...
I really hate it when a fox for something makes no sense in terms of cause and effect, but at the moment I can't argue with the actual results.

A working unit is all that matters, but it does seem strange from a networking standpoint.

I would agree leave it alone if working.  Reading I saw "Gateway (G1100)" with quick google looks like possibly modem/router.  Is you modem and router an all in one? 

Some all in ones are total crap.   I had one I could turn off every security option it gave me tell it to allow item's on network... and it was miserable my security system did not work outside network it blocked it.   And at the time I was really into renting miners (cant remember site it's long gone), but it blocked that to.   Point is some all in ones are just total crud.

What I did was talk to fiber company (luckily mine is very nice) and got modem turned into a pass-through mode.   I needed modem as it is for my 1 gigabit internet connection but with pass-through it turned it from router to just modem, and allowed me to use my own router.   I used a asus nighthawk (takes a decent router to handle 1 gigabit, some you will lose speed if router is not made for 1 gigabit).   

But that was my magic setup that worked was getting rid of combo modem/router and using pass-through mode. 
308  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread on: June 29, 2016, 08:38:14 PM
follow up three it must have been windows 10 because when I went to connect the miner to the modem it said that there was an update to fix the issue.  Windows restarted and connected tom my miner and the internet.  which before I could only do one or the other.  Should I keep my miner on static or switch it to dhcp.  I also was able to change my miner address I found out at my security camera shared the same ip address as my miner how crazy is that. 

I like static as I can alway's find it at same IP.  With multiple miners it becomes nice to have.   I would either 1 leave alone with DHCP looking at your issues, I hate for you to go though trying to set networking again.   Or 2 take a screenshot of what you trying to use as settings with static and show us on here so we can see if something is wrong.

If you have security camera and S3 figihting for IP it would cause problems.  But again reading last 3 posts if it's working might think about leaving it for now.
309  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Requirements for a small custom farm on: June 29, 2016, 06:37:38 PM
Hi folks,

I would like to know how many square feet should I be looking at if I decide to host 50x AntMiner S7? To narrow my search for a proper location, should I start with warehouse rentals? Please share your experience and insights as I am trying to work on a small business plan.

Thanks.
Depending on where you live, you might loose, especially with the upcoming block reward halving.
Bitmain is releasing the AntMiner S9 in batches. You may want to wait.

If you can't wait and do want to go with S7, make sure your power outlets and your neighborhood's supply can handle it. Worst case is that you may blow your neighborhood's transformer.
Check with your local power supplier and/or electrician if your wiring can handle it.

I think you missed the bolded part as he is trying to find a warehouse rental.  He is not actually mining at his home/owned location and is looking for a location.  So big difference there right away.  He can't really call in  electrician or power supplier as he does not know location he is wanting to rent at somewhere not picked yet.

I have a feeling he is thinking the location is going to be much cheaper then it actually is.  I think he will find out most warehouses do not have NEAR the power needed for 50 S7's and cooling.   And if he does find one that rent's and happens to have enough power the warehouse really needs to allow modifications.  As I have a feeling for  electrical and cooling modifications will need  to be made. Finding  all  of this cheap I don't think will be easy.

After a few days seeking in the city, yes, it's a tough job like you said Sad

I wish I was not kinda a buzz kill on it.  But everyone would have warehouses if it was easy/cheap.   I personally made a mining area on my family's farm, as it's owned by family I was able to get proper wiring, modify for cooling, etc.   

There are lot's of warehouses that mention free electricity but they mean a small amount no where near the 50 you were wanting to do.   Even ones you pay for electricity most just are not set up for this amount of electricity.  That is why I mentioned finding one who even can handle it first as just that will be hard.

Then add modification for cooling and electricity... it becomes very very hard.  If your budget is big you could buy and do it but leasing is going to be hard I think and get what you want for decent price.
310  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: antminer s7 randomly start beeping on: June 29, 2016, 06:32:06 PM
Beeping signifies high temperature. Clean the fans, heatsinks, and any other cooling elements of any dust, and ensure that fans are running smoothly and at their usual speed. According to your screenshot (miner status) only fan 3 is operating properly.

You can also override the warning in the miner configuration tab (uncheck "Beeper ringing") but beware that overheating can cause hardware failure which may be permanent.

There is also a beep if lose of internet.  It is pretty loud and you would hear it.   What is your networking look like for your miner?   I know I had  hub that started acting up losing connection... the miners beeped.  Did not take to long to figure out was hub and replace it though in my case.
311  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How plausible is this invention? on: June 29, 2016, 06:29:47 PM
sure, you could, but it won't take any less energy or somehow use "wasted" energy of these other devices.
This is just what 21co are trying to do with their btc internet of things.
It doesn't make any sense.


21co did a horrible job of it they talk about coming out with every day item's and put miners in the.  What did they come out with?  One of the worst priced raspberry PI's with a miner combo on top of it.   

It is hard to do I honestly see miner for the foreseeable future being machines on their own.  There will be projects to do water heater or other thing's but I don't see largescale home appliances soon.   Maybe one day just not yet.  Right now closest thing you have is using the miner as space heater.   
312  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Thinking Of Going Into Bitcoin Mining on: June 29, 2016, 06:25:44 PM

@mrhelpful, thank's for that suggestion. I'll think about it. Do you is safe going to china to set-up my mining company?

I mean would'nt they seem me as one of their competitor?


I think most likely it would be going to a hosting company or something like hashnest in China.  You are talking about a good amount of cash in setup if you truly mean going to China and setting up a mining operation.   Getting enough electricity, cooling, a spot to mine in, someone at site for security and fix issues.

We just don't know the scale of what your talking about.  Going over there and setting up 10 miners or something..... kinda unrealistic.  That is why there are hosting companies out there.    What scale are you looking at as far as investment?
313  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 - won't hash on: June 29, 2016, 06:17:13 PM
Thanx, but i still face the same problem...
Any ideeas how i fix it?

Nothing just jumping out so far.  What PSU are you using on it?   Also are you able  to take a screenshot of network page I'm just curious to see what's in there?  And did you use right firmware for your S7 some batches had different frequencies at beginning, so just making sure you used one for your's did not grab a random one.

It's kinda guessing with nothing jumping out wrong.
314  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order on: June 29, 2016, 06:12:44 PM
What's the life expectancy on the S9?  The previous models only ran about 1 year so I'm hoping these can go longer.   

Let's hope you're wrong, I didn't buy a S7-LN to last for only one year.
Did you overclock it?

He is doing something wrong if he can say multiple models only lasted a year.  Either OC, to hot, or something.  No that is not normal at all to have that kind of rate dying.    I have owned quite  few and not had the 1 year little life he mentions.

Look at all the S3's hanging around they were built like tanks I think most will be working far past useful (except for free on) on them.

Hi guys! Payments will go through today.

There may be a rate change due to the recent 50% rise of Bitcoin (close to 100% at the very peak).

Regards

Looks like missed the today part still no payment/reset. I am really hoping it happens today. I do appreciate all Marco does with making this the best sig campaign on forum.  I think he might be smart to look into having a "helper" for lack of better word that has time and could help.
316  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread on: June 29, 2016, 08:18:30 AM
Cry   I'm pretty upset and frazzled, I received a bitmain antminer s3 for my son and I to work on together as a hobby he is 9, and I recieved it today.  I was really excited and thought the installation would be straightforward but no it was anything but that.  I had it hooked up to my router and I could not find it after following the intructions so I hooked it up straight to my computer typed in the default ip address and walla there it was I followed the intructions and went into the client using root root then I changed the network settings form static to dhcp that when everything went wrong I hooked it back up to my router and was not able to find it so I hooked it up once again and ran the ip scan to find out what the new ip address was two items came up my router and shenzen something technology.  I typed that ip number into my address search bar and nothing came up.  I am lost now please help. 

First I would try just restarting it and have the S3 connected to your router, if truly in DHCP it should find it.   Does the S3 fan's seem to be spinning like it is mining when you cannot find it?  What PSU are you using (just making sure you are not getting connnection and it is trying to mine and having problems due to PSU I doubt it with S3 but still possible).

When making network changes I would take a screenshot, yes it's overkill but even though I have configured a good amount of miners I still do it.   It gives you something to look at just incase your IP change went wrong from wrong selection (lucky I have not needed it ... just like to be prepared).

Ok assuming you have restarted, tried to find and no luck still no matter what log into router to and see connected devices and see if it's there.    But take a deep breath as there is a reset button.  I am curious on questions I asked before doing one.  Just to warn you if you do reset make sure to follow a guide and DO NOT turn off power/lose power during it or you could end up with a S3 controller board that needs re-programed.
317  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: June 28, 2016, 09:35:16 PM
the F1 version with one fan was a bad idea. Unless, you throw them nice fresh air, they overheat.

They need 2 fans to be safe.

It really works flawless though.  I have one and had 0 issues with it, if something goes wrong it should shutdown at 80 c.   I do have a second fan but never did attach it to it as it is working good.  It is summer and hot for many and I don't see S7-F1's burning up.... so seems to work fine.   But I do agree it takes away some safety with redundancy of having two fan's even though we have not been seeing them burn up.

I also have some decent sized fan's blowing air through my mining area to.  So guess that is part of why I'm not to worried.  

Well it's the summer for sure here in NA ... the two fans versions just don't care about it and keep mining at default freq. The F1 version suffers tho. I downclocked them until I received my second fans.


I just have one of the S7-F1's so maybe I got lucky but mine has handled Midwest heat up to low 90's F outside (which it is currently). No suffering so far default settings/freq.  I do push air with high CFM fan's through miner area and a commercial gable fan to get rid of heat.   So that could possibly help.

It is a hot day but you can see my S7-F1 is handling it fine even during summer temps. - http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m25/notlist3d/S7-F1/test_zpswuvatl7q.jpg

Yes, it works now in Nicehash.
File System Version - Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016

3xS9 (650M)=45.51 TH/s

But today I prefer Antpool with first S9 software -  Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016

why ?

Because the majority of my 10 and 2/3 x S9 B1  working in Antpool at speed 13.9 THs
only three of them are 13.5THs-13.7THs as with old and with  the new software.

There was a time I would have considered with Nicehash a big deal. But it's just not like the old day's with coins launching and huge profit's, now they pay very little over and sometimes under.  And consider their fee "NiceHash charges a processing fee from each party of hash rate trade (buyers and sellers) made through the service. Currently our fee is set at 3%."

I think there are MUCH better options out there with pools to mine, Antpool is one of them to mine with over nicehash.   I see people using Antpoool, Kano.is, F2, BTCC, slush, etc much more often then going to nicehash.

I have a Coinsbank card. I was wondering if there is a referral feature within my acct tab somewhere as a few people I know would love to order the card.

The fees are pretty high as I've paid $5 just to withdraw $20 out of the ATM even with $60 available. Sometimes it just doesn't give the full amount and the exchange amount seems delayed or up to $100 off. With that said people still want to card access but don't want to order unless there's some sort of ref credit that I benefit from.

Just to give a breakdown of approx of what I paid for the card..

$24.95 or $14.95
Then delivery is around $6-$15

and what caught me by surprise was the hidden charge to activate the card $9.95.

$5 ATM fee.

Strangely most stores even Starbucks isnt able to read my card but that could change.

Still getting cash out of the atm in a pinch is what I do like. So its great in an emergency which for me seems like all of the time lol.

Any info on this would be most welcomed Thanks.


This is just for the signature of Coinsbank.  You really need to contact Coinsbank and ask them about the card.  So big difference between the two.  Which is actually good for you as you information is safely secure with them, your asking questions just have to go there to when about account issues/card/etc.

That is all great if you knot it BEFORE you have a problem...

I don't understand why only bitcoin... i have messages with my DOGE address, and have requested if I could use that...  and again, not received the courtesy of a reply.

So we have an ugly monopoly here, and the "customer service" is well, you know........

so be it... each of us gets to act the way we wish, so hopefully they are pleased with themselves...  i've finally realized what a waste of time this has been.   Sad.

Thanks everyone.



The reason is it would be horrible to verify if people were allowed to use alt-coins.  I'm sure some would say but only allow these altcoins and pick a few, but that list would grow and grow.  It's much easier just to use BTC as the standard. I did see two post's with what look to be BTC address's in your posts:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637108.msg7444846#msg7444846 - 13y53bBPrMNNCHjKEyU2DKA2HhK2ozyejZ

Are you able to sign with either of those addresses they appear to be BTC?
