Quoting so people can see:

At 17 cents you only chance is S7/Avalon 6.  You would mine and sell.  That is only way I see you possibly profiting.  And if you do go up to 32.... you stand no chance.

You can get hosting done much much cheaper somewhere then 32 cent's.  I would say 10 cents or less, I suggest looking at this as 32 cent's is just horrible.

Do you think heat would not be a problem?  I would guess miner would be in trunk on taxi.  It just seems like the trunk would fill with heat, and no where to go.

During summer I see even bigger issue winter might possibly cool it from cold outside.  So I guess it could depend on season to.

I have been testing a few and have become a big fan of hardware wallets.  If it's a BTC address you will be using activly it is honestly the best bet of keeping it safe.  With using a hardware wallet it's pretty amazing on some that even if computer is infected it could make a transaction and not be compromised (if used correctly).

Also some of them can be tied with an android wallet which I have played with some.  So even though your using your mobile device key is still on hardware wallet and it signs transaction on hardware wallet.  So you can send from  anywhere if you have a android phone and still have the security of a hardware wallet.

If it is coins you need access to and are actively using I suggest hardware wallet.  They keep the private key off of computer and sign the transaction on the device.  So it is very secure.  If used properly even if infected you are still safe with a good hardware wallet.

Other option is if you are not going to touch them at all look into paper wallet.  You can monitor the address online and send it, just keep private key on paper only.   Again it is if done properly, if not your insecure.

Those are best two options I think.

I'm not for account selling even though it is allowed.  A lot of them end up being for signature campaigns.  They think they buy a certain rank they will make X amount of money off of it.   That seems to be biggest reason in digital goods.

At end of day these users I think are more likely to spam and end up banned.  Also the person farming is putting in a LOT of time for not much money if they do proper posts.  Some are horrible if you look at them and 1/2 of posts are in offtopic and just enough to level up each period.  So some farmed accounts are easy to tell.

I felt the same to.  By the time I got to legendary the title does not really define my account I don't think.  It's a nice bonus to be legendary but at end of day there is nothing extra I was able to do that I could not at Hero status.

So nice bonus yes.  Anything different... no besides realizing how long I have spent on board which at this point is a sizable amount of time.

But at the time that amount seemed huge compare to GPU's.  So when people looked at it seemed like a good idea.   It is crazy amount more efficient then GPU's on mining BTC.

But as we know BFL just did not ship for a long time, so this caused huge losses on orders.   And it follows pretty much all miners they sold they were late, and were not really truthful.  So anyone invested there most likely lost big.

So you saying you tried to blackmail them into paying you?  That is pretty lame to say the least... to ask for payment to stop you posting info.  If you had lost money on it then I could see it.... but not losing money and trying to force money just is bad.

I am really surprised you posted about this.   Do you do this to others as well?

You mention Avalon nano's in thread title and at start of post.  Then switch to block erupters, which usb stick are you mining with?

This could be your problem if your using Avalon nano's and using block erupter commands... they are not the same.  So would cause issues and probley not detect like you mention.

I bolded Phil's question's as they really are something you need.  I would also add make for sure you get correct electricity price with taxes and fees.   If you get off website and not real bill you might not get it right.

Others saying ROI math is important is very true.  The best I think is on bitwisdom: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator it allows difficulty change which is far more realistic then ones that just do current period and times it out.

But as far as one to do it with I would go batch 8 or 9 of S7.   It is currently lowest price.  If noise is a issue then I would look at Avalon A6 there is a huge difference in noise levels.  Also S7 with server PSU's adds even more noise.   

I've got one that seems to be going zombie .. which causes all of them I think so kinda a pain.  Guess I did not get voltage right.

Back to trying again it should be up soon.

*Edit and it's back up

I could be lucky but B8 I have still has no issues hashing.  I have kinda took it easy on it, no OC or pushing.   Don't know if it matters but using the Bitmain PSU (should not matter).

Only thing that was it seems they truly did mean +10 on efficiency when they put it.  So it had a lower efficiency with lower chips, but guess that is not a failure.

Most of the biggest operations are private so they don't have to release numbers to public and never will.   So getting accurate data is not going to happen.

Only rough estimate would be take hashrate and use a certain efficiency chip.  But you can't really do this as so many different miners out there, and price of electricity varies so much.  So it's a impossible task on getting right.

The only thing I am worried is I think some of the huge operations likely if cut in 1/2 still could operate in profit (like Bitfury if they have the gear we suspect).   So there are likely some big guys with electricity so low they can keep going where normal electricity people will be left behind.

We have a while that I hope to see bitcoin slowly build up value.   But if it does not I fear big players still can mine and little guys will be stopped.

I would also add Innosilicon to major players their A1 they sold ton's of chips.  There were lot's of 1T and eventually higher TH  models.   I still suspect in some low priced data centers in china you would find these.

Also bitmain does not make it as noticeable with having a big pool.  But I think they have to be on list it's hard to tell how much of antpool is internal, we likely will never know.

Diesel I think you have too low.  I don't even think you can get offroad diesel for that price.  That is first part I would check.

Other thing is cooling how are you going to cool it? Say it's in trunk it might be insulated enough to block noise, but it's going to get hot.  And it's pretty hard to do a temporary mod for cooling that is realistic on a car.  So I think it still has some problems in idea.

Are you saying you are trying to mine on your phone?  If so very bad idea... you are going to push your phone and it will get hot most likely it's not designed for 24x7 being pushed.

GPU and CPU mining are done it just does not make enough money.  I suggest looking into asics if you truly want to mine, and look at BTC mining as it is best to start off with I think.

PM sent thank you for your all the work. Nice to see bot working.

It got PM/email but stat page does not say it yet.   I sent PM it appears it just paid one week even though it was almost 2 week's worth of posts.

Coinbase does not give you a private key for address you use on it's site.  So if you leave it on the site you cannot use private key and import it into another wallet.  They do this for safety as a lot that use it are pretty new I think.

But with a lot of other options you have either seed words, or private key that you could use to import address into a different wallet.   I like ones where I have the private key.  I mostly use hardware wallets which keep it on it, and give seed word's to backup.  And paper wallets which are cold and not touched.
