.43 is a little expensive. Here are some Ebay links that are cheaper with free shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gridseed-Blade-/331719787955?hash=item4d3c0a45b3:g:4h8AAOSw8-tWWi5R Currently in bidding but well under .43 asking price. Ends in 6 hours free shipping
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ON-SALE-With-Accessories-Gridseed-G-Blade-80-Chips-Asic-5-2-6M-BTC-LTC-Miner-/281849408704?hash=item419f88acc0:g:N8AAAOSwT6pV7OtR This is the cheapest buy now price not free shipping but still only 109 USD including shipping.

I suggest bring down the price a little bit to compete with Ebay prices if you want to sell it here on Bitcointalk. Most users are looking for a bargain. It would also help to post pictures of the unit with username and date included in the picture as well as a picture of it hashing.

You must be located over in Europe. Not really a black Friday deal in the US you can get them cheaper off ebay with free shipping. Is that one running I am surprise it would be running hot with everything in front of the intake fan like that and the hot power supply in front of it as well.

Can you get 100% shares? I didn't think that was possible.

Take a look here

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1NwhghHvQvcH3Jf97rBR8Wd3iVA2ikXYZ8

BTW what a nice day at Eligius 7 blocks so far today!

Of course it's possible.................. just unlikely long term. Sad

My apologizes  I should have asked the question a little different.

How it is possible to get 100% shares?

How do you value a share?

I knows it's PPS value is, of course, at the time the share was submitted, not later. Valuing a share later, with this last block change, will effectively devalue some of my shares significantly and thus boost the PPS % artificially right? Or is that incorrect?

Just trying to grasp the inner workings a little better. Any clarification would be great and again my apologies if this has already been answered on perverse pages.

329  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: mBTC on kano.is on: November 29, 2015, 03:28:03 PM
As I previously read I think you mining with only 100ghs correct? May I ask why? Also where are you located? I may have a deal for you if you are in the us. To get you a little more ghs. if you are in the US leave your zipcode and I will post my offer for you here.

Unfortunately, I am not living in the US. As I have put into my profile on this forum, I am living in Vienna, Austria. I have only 3 Antminer U3 miners but only 2 of them actively mining on public pool servers. So yes, practically I only use about 100 Gh/s hashrate for trying the pools. I am using the other miner for testing and learning about the miner software and pool server software on my spare time.

As to why I have only that much of hashrates, I am just a hobbyist miner and I don't want to put too much investment on this. I can definitely buy Antminer S7 for instance, but I still don't think I would make profit in short period of time due to the cost of the electricity. And there is no space in my apartment to put big mining rigs. I also tried renting the hashrates but I practically didn't make anything out of it even I have mined on Antpool which always find a new block at least every hour.

You wont make anything off renting unless the renting price is lower than the reward per block. So take my hash rate 3 s3's around 1400 give or take a few ghs I make rough .009 to .01 supposedly from eligius. I only say supposedly because it depends on if they find any blocks. For me to make that mark they would need to find on average 3 blocks per day.

So let see what it will cost with nicehash.
On Nicehash to get the same speed for 24 hours I would need to purchase 1.5 ths at .0070 have a balance  of .0105 to get 1.5 ths for 24 hrs. But this is only if you use the fixed rate. If I didn't use the fixed rate and the cost of rentals went up I would loose time on my clock fast and not receive the full 34 hours I need to get the same rate  as I needed to achieve the same result on eligius.

Now this is still based off if the pool found only three blocks in one day. Lets say they found more with in the 24 hours. Say they had a good day and found 5 block within the 24 hrs. That could give me a balance of 0.0156417 if the pools hash rate stayed the same the entire 24 hours. If the pool hash rate increased, my reward would decrease if the pools hash rate decrease my reward would increase. So it is all a gamble, If they found 5 blocks even with a little flux in hash rat ether way. I would still make money on my renting only by .005145.

But lets they pool had a bad day and only found two blocks. Since my reward at current pool hash rate is .00312834 per block I would only make 0.00625668. And this would be a loss on the rental.

But this example is apply this this type of pool though. If you say rented hash towards a pool like kano's and they same amount of blocks where found on a good day and bad the payout would be completely different because his pool has a ramp up and ramp down rate meaning you wouldn't receive a full payout on the first or second block until you ramp rate was to full speed and then once the renting was over you would have  a ramp down rate that would still be running even after the renting was completed. meaning you would still be getting paid even after you renting was complete as long as the pool was still finding blocks.

If say Kano's pool was finding block left and right during your renting you could end of make huge money off your renting. Well no huge but I have rented in the past and spent .2 over a course of a week at kano's and made .05 off my renting trial period I tried. But this was only due to the fact the pool had good luck during my renting stent. If the pol would have had back luck I would have been in the black.

So you see you can make money off renting you just need to play the market. Rent while it is low and not when it is high. and hope the pool your mining with has good luck.


And sorry I was going offer you a free S1 I have sitting here collecting dust if you wanted to pay the shipping on it. But the cost of shipping over to Vienna, Austria even at snail mail would still not give you a reward for a very long time if any, if it where to break at some point in time.

Good Morning Yahoo,

It seems I haven't be able to be as active as I would like to be the last two payouts and due to this I would like to remove my name from the signature campaign. I would also like to remove my self from the avatar campaign  as well.  Seeing as I kept my avatar the same the entire month I should be eligible for payout for that. Since I have yet to receive payout for that could you please look into this for me. I will keep both my Avatar and signature the same until I hear from you. I want to thank you for you time and effort with this campaign. You have made my stay here at magical dice a great one. Your great communication and due diligence on this campaign was one of the reason a stayed as long as I have. I look forward to working with you in future endeavors.  

Thanks

I would not raise questions about dust payout if I would have 1.5 Th/s hashrate

What was your question about dust payout?  I missed that.
The dust payout that I meant is the payout below 1 mBTC per day that I always get using my 100 Gh/s miners. Since I have seen Kano's negative comments toward Eligius pool, I got the impression that his pool is better than Eligius and that triggered my question on this post which in the end led me to try Kano's pool with the hope that I can have better dust payout. If I would have 1.5 Th/s hashrate, I would not bother to get better dust payout as I mentioned on my comment that you quoted above.
Yep on my pool your dust only shows in your account.
(payments under 0.00010000)
I've not sent any yet to anyone (but one person long ago) since the pool started.
I imagine there may be a few miners with as much as $1 or $2 worth of dust not sent.

As I've said, one day ... in a galaxy far far away ... I'll add accounting to the web site and thus the unpaid balances will be correctly identified and it will know which have been sent and haven't been sent.
Then I'll sort out a way to send the dust ... which poses a problem coz sending dust on it's own costs more than the dust.
Merging it into current miners payouts will not be a problem I don't think.
I'll probably have to push the other dust transactions into our blocks and solve it that way.

Hi Kano,

I think I have caused confusion using the term "dust payout". I am sorry for that.

I am not demanding to get a payout below 0.1 mBTC. It is clear to me that your payout threshold is set to 0.1 mBTC to avoid paying transaction fee more than the payout itself. I perfectly understand that. So I don't think you need to bother to spend time trying to work on that because some people demanding that, as you might have to bear the cost for the transaction fees.

Perhaps I should have used the term "penny payout". So in relation to my posts quoted above, I would not bother to raise the questions getting better "penny payout", i.e. payout below 1 mBTC, if I would have 1.5 Th/s hashrate as I could easily exceed the threshold payouts of any pools in days instead of weeks.

Cheers,

Anto

Actually it says it on the Payments page if you get one under 0.00010000 a *
and below the payouts it says "* Dust payments are not automatically sent out"
(if there are any)

I have said it many times in the kano.is thread also.

Anyway I added another comment at the top of the Payments page also.
"Dust payments below 0.00010000 BTC are not sent out yet."

Haha See I knew I missed it. I did not scroll all the way down the page. I thought it would have been in payouts as well. But looks good for sure. Thanks Kano!

Granted every one is paid for what they mine. Weather it be dust or not. But if the transaction fees do not cover the dust payment then a minimal payout should be set  and posted  which I would assume there already is one. But after looking at website again, and unless I missed it. I don't see any were that states what the minimal payout will or should be. Maybe it might help to added that little remark somewhere. Not like they will read it before posting about this again. But I know I have seen this type of conversation before about dust payouts on kano's pool.

Just my suggestion.

Ok... now if we go back to my original statement, with Eligius, you can never, ever make more than that 0.064146152448BTC in those 12 weeks.  On kano, you can make more than that, or you can make less.  Kano's pool has, since inception, been running about 101% luck.  That has no bearing on future luck - it is just a metric of past performance.  However, it is a metric that shows had you been mining on Eligius for the past year and on kano for the past year, given identical hash rates on each pool, you would have made more on kano.

I have been mining on Kano's pool from 20/11/2015 until now or about 7 days and I have got only 1.5 mBTC in total from blocks 384498, 384724, 384805 and 385383. If I would have mined on Eligius, I would have made about 5 mBTC. On Antpool, I would have made about 4 mBTC. How would that be practically possible to make more BTC on Kano's pool than Eligius, even if I would mine on Kano's pool for a year?


I get what he is saying, but he is taking it out of context for one. Yea if you would have mined on the other pools you could have maybe made more if they found blocks during your 7 day trail period. Just like if Kano would have found more block you would have made some more at kano's pools and you cant take two different types of pool pay outs and pin them against one other. I have mined at kano's pool and I mine at a couple of others. I do know if I stay at kano's pool I would make more in the long run if his pool was finding blocks just as fast as the other pools. Since his pool is smaller compared to others your reward will be bigger than say if you mined at eligius pool.

Lets say you were mining with 1.5 ths like me. If Kano's pool finds a block I make roughly .01 and some change per block. If I take the same speed and mine at Eligius pool I make roughly around .003 per block. Now since Eligius pool finds more blocks per day than kano's pool it will most likely equal out to around .009 per day versus .01 from one block at Kano's.

But here is the downside to that. If Kano's pool has longer block and it takes two day to find one. Then I am still only getting .01 for that one block. Or even if it take 7 days to get that one block I am still only getting .01 currently. but since kano's pools pays on 5n my share will keep getting paid on the next couple of blocks if they are found with in the 5n range. So my earnings at kano's so shares could be paid out over 5 times. So my earnings will still keep trickling even after I stop mining. As long as blocks are still found.

This does not happen at lets say eliguis. If I mine at eligius for the same amount of time and we only find 1 block just like kano's my share or earning will still only be .003 but if they find more like they do my earns per day could reach the .01 or in my case .009. But If I turn my miners to another pool my earns drop off almost instantly after about 3 hours. This means my shares I have submitted stop making money and I do not have any more trickling in.  

For me to reach payout on eligiuis I have to mine almost 4 day straight non stop If they find enough blocks for me to reach payout some times it is longer and sometime it is shorter all depending on the luck of the pool finding block.

I completely forgot where I was going with this. But in the end it is all about how you like to mine. Do you like to receive one big payout that may or may not have more earning trickling in over time or receive a bunch of smaller rewards till you reach payout that will stop almost instantaneous once you stop mining.

I love Kano's pool I really do. I would have my miners on his pool now but I am trying something different just to get a feel on how other systems work. After trying various differnt pools I do like Kano's the best. I just hate how long it takes to find a block some times which has nothing to do how his pools payouts out but only by the speed of his pool and luck.

And why the hell did you include Nexious scammer @SS pool into this mix. It has nothing to do with how Kano's pool operates or any one else pool for that matter. Nexious was a scammer from the beginning. His pool found one block and he ran off with the reward and didn't pay his miners. Kano's pool has never done that and has built huge amounts of trust within the community. The verbal war between pools only amounts to the lack of knowledge that surrounds the pool operator's that comes from noobs that have no clue on how mining accurately works. You most likely went to bitcoin profitability calculator punched in some numbers and it said you are supposed to make this much per day per week per month. I would love for some one to show me any where that works 100% of the time. So I can jump on that train and raise my profits. Because the profit only amounts to the luck of the pool finding blocks.

I am far from an expert in pools and mining. But have come to realize who knows there stuff and who doesn't. Kano's for one Knows his stuff inside and out.

Has any one thought of combining a couple of s3's together sort of like the C1 but not changing over the heat sink. I mean Sort of like how the s5 is done. Would it be worth it? I mean have one controller controlling all 3 s3 instead of three separate units?

I think the problem will be getting the controllers.  I doubt bitmain has C1 controllers in stock anymore (I could be wrong, they may surprise me). 

But if you do I think if I remember right will allow 4 blades so I think you could hook up two S3's.  But by the time you add this I think it's just not worth it. S3 are getting dated I would try to use separate and squeeze out more profit instead of buying the new controller, unless your doing it for sake of modding and not based on ROI.

Was thinking it might be more efficient running 4 or more together than separate.

Hi,

has anyone mande some experiments how to attach more than two hashboards to a S3 controller board.

Or - alternatively - use the available free ports in a S5 miner to attach S3 hashboards perhaps?

Any Frankenstein-Antminer experience welcome. ;-) I have several partially working devices here and would like to make use of the parts as good as possible.


Rico

Please move -> Mining / Hardware

I have tried S3 controller with 4 hashboards.Firmware doesn't recognize more than two boards.It's not possible to connect s3 hashboard to s5 controller with original cables.S3 cable has 12v rail and it burns s5 controller immediately.S3 and S5 controllers have different microprocessors so you can't flash s3 firmware to s5 controller and vice versa.It though might be possible to flash s5 controller with C1 firmware and use custom cables to connect s3 hashboards.Or flash C1 controller with s5 firmware and use s5 hashboards.But I don't see any benefit of that solution.If you want to create monster miner with s3 hashboards just use cp2102s and level shifter-adapter for s3.You can connect as many as you want and use cgminer.Build it to a case,add powered usb hub and rasp,so you have stand alone miner as powerful as you want.I use 8 s3/c1 hashboards that way, giving about 1.7 TH.I will add 4 more boards when I find those at reasonable price.

You really think you could combine 2 or 3 antminer s3's together all hashing through the same controller. Do you think there would be any benefit to this versus just running 3 different machines. I mean I would build the box if it was worth it. Wonder how the overclocking would work.
