I don't think so dollar pretty strong I mean it is widely use like in every parts of the world many countries have been depending on it. No i don't think so, its not even a strength thing. I just think the governments will fight it once they realized the Bitcoin technology can cause a financial system revolution over the world. I'm not sure how most governments would continue operating if they had no control over their currency. |

After the last "solo share reset" since a block was found; my 63Gh system is being stuck at a diff of 1000 and not lowering; usually it drops well below 100 shortly after connecting to the pool. Am I the only one seeing this? (apparently I am just retarded, and didnt wait long enough. after about 5-15 shares it dropped down to a difficulty of 72. All is well) BTW: congrats on the big win! Its always nice to see a payout for the work involved =) Personally: I like to keep my machines on separate payout addresses in the pool so I know exactly what machine I can call the lucky one  All in all; the probability of finding that block stays the same weather or not they are grouped together to the same pool address; so I dont mind having multiple payout addresses assigned to my "lottery miners". It can take a quite a bit of time, did you try --suggest-diff # ? If you have cgminer the pool will set the difficulty to the diff you set there by default. This way you can get a faster reading on your hashrate right away. Otherwise it can take quite a while for the pool to give you to proper diff setting. |

I am also interested in those long S5 18 pin cables, do you have an open price per with shipping estimate? I guess i'll send you a PM with my information shortly.
This is the first time i try to buy something from J4bberwock. Haven't gotten a reply in a few days. Is this is a normal waiting time when requesting to buy some cables here? I'm not in a super big rush but if its not possible to fill my request, i'll have to try to find another place to get long 18 pins cables, hmm... I have done business with him before. He's a very busy man. He also has a LOT going on right now. I've had to send him a PM and an email and get a reply the next day or two. Once he replies and tells you he is going to do something, he does it. Try shooting him a PM again. He may respond soon. I'm not sure about posting his email in the thread. I would do it if I had his permission but I don't. I'll wait a bit longer, i am not sure i want to pile up more PMs. If he missed it then i guess eventually i'll send another one, but doesn't he read this threads from time to time too? I guess we'll find out. I'm very busy at the moment, so I don't answer most of the PM until I have time to give concrete answer. I actually take a few hours 2 or 3 times a week for the emails/PM. Regarding the S5 data cables, I should get them in stock just after the chinese national holiday. I believe I wrote it in the thread about the S5+/S7 controller a few days ago. Also, I won't take new boards orders until the end of this week. Okay, i was unaware that you did not have them in stock anymore, i PM'ed you shortly after you said in another thread there was a few left, so someone must of beaten me to it. I'll wait for your restock and your quote. |

my miner came quickly, but it runs slowly.
i can not get past 4600 and errors are .1100
Sound pretty subpar, like the first batch of S3's iirc and not all that different with S5 batch one? Maybe you're illegible for a partial refund? Kinda disappointing that Bitmain keep repeating the same error with First batches. |

I'm saving most of my earnings to get my hands on the new Antminer S7. The best thing about this miner is energy efficiency so I would save money and reach ROI in no time. This has been added to my wishlist. I think I'll be selling my good old Gridseed GC3355 to earn some extra cash  What is your electricity price? I don't think of reaching ROI in "no time" happens much anymore. It's kinda a long game that takes a while. I miss the 90 day ROI time, now it's in hundreds of days. I think it is $0.08 per kwh. I’m not so sure because usually my parents pay the electricity, but sometimes when I consume a lot of energy, I have to pay it. Still, the less energy consumed the better. With free electricity, no difficulty increase, the ROI time is next year in March. Not particularly "in no time" for me. With 0.08 Electricity and 2% increment, you will never break even. Your only strategy for ROI would be to mine it for a bit and then sell it before it devalues. |

I didn't get share for nearly a day so the problem is most likely way beyond the stick. Regardless, it doesn't change anything overall but i tried the --suggest-diff variable, really cool i didn't know that existed. ck.solo started with my suggestion.
For the volt/clock, i set the clock to 175mhz and i didn't even set a volt setting. If someone has a recommendation i'm all hear, i tend to always start with a single HW.
try at 125mhz then 150mhz I confirm the --suggest-diff 7 is working ! add that to your command line. You should see accepted share really quick or HW I get a HW at start and then no more HW. So i don't see a point in lowering or changing volt. I'm not sure why that HW error happen but i have other ASIC that does that. Start with a HW and then no more HW. |

If I am reading things right, we might also get a brief respite for the 1st half of the next adjustment. Supposedly Bitmain will be on holiday Oct 1 through Oct 8th. While I expect stuff that is shipped will arrive, there should be a 1 week hiatus on S7 production. I have to beleive that will manifest itself in some positive way (e.g. smaller difficulty increase).
Sound more likely to me that the S7 production is outsourced and they already have 2 whole batches on the way. During the next 2 weeks its Batch 1 that will hit doors, then after that it will be Batch 2 and 3. I don't see much respite here. The Batch 1 already being in the mail won't pause for a holiday =/ |

This discussion really belong in the altcoin section. You can't mine BTC with GPU. For alts, the problem with GPU is the upfront cost is high and its not a lot of hashrate. You could check for the 750ti on X11 and see if its still profitable with your electricity cost. Then the R9's are only profitable on Ethereum right now unless you have dirt cheap electricity but Eth has been crashing so all in all, not a good time to invest in GPU. If you already have one, i'd mine with it but ASIC depending on your electricity cost is probably the way to go. What is your electricity cost? |

Mining is like a lottery.... So u need to think on things sometimes a better way.... Take on a better calculation with bitcoin mining calculators.......its all about how u plan... Ur assumption... If its correct and right up to mark it will sure hit u some with bitcoins...
Mining isn't exactly like a lottery. It is more a calculations based on what your electricity costs, how much the gear costs, what you would roughly be making a week, and then figuring out your ROI. The only gambling part of mining is essentially the diff. increase, but that should pretty much be normalized roughly every 10 days. So calculation is important on mining. Mining solo can work pretty much like a lottery. Mining in a proper pool is from "not much of a lottery" to "absolutely not a lottery". If OP or anyone else give us their electricity cost, we will give a pretty good recommendation back, i'm sure. It's very profitable for me, it could be for "you". So mining solo basically if you hit a block(odds are not good correct?) that is what you consider gambling? Its about .15cents per KWH. From what I gathered earlier it is not a good choice for me to go ahead and try to start mining Yes unless you have a mega farm. For instance i have a small USB stick on the solo.ck pool, it does 9-10GHs~ take 3watts of powers~ The odds of finding a block are very small. Hence its a bit like buying a small lottery ticket. I would call it gambling/lotto. If you have a farm with 500THs+ at the moment its not really gambling but your expected average will take a long time. At less than a PH i would probably pool mine. And with your cost, mining at home with those price is a no go. Even cloud hosting would be much better for you and dedicated ASIC coop hosting somewhere with really cheap electricity is your best bet. |

My understanding is that neither the "21 Inc Bitcoin Computer" nor the "Antminer R1" are released and shipping yet. While the prevailing sentiment is that they will both largely be "closed" in terms of configuration, how does anybody KNOW this?
It seems until we get actual documents, and/or a shipping product, it's kinda speculative as to what can and can't be done. I don't have a specific interest in either product, but it seems a bit premature to decide what they can and can't do at this time.
Do not know why you think we are speculating on the R1? This from the Bitmain Website. The AntRouter R1 is a wireless networking device containing a bitcoin mining chip. The R1 is preconfigured to mine on AntPool’s solo mode, meaning that as long as the device is powered, you are competing for a chance to solve a block and win about the entire block reward of 25 bitcoins(after deducting the 1% fee).
Shipping starts from Oct. 8 after receiving full payment. Rich From the Bitcoin site with their short listing up for that 10 unit test sale... from memory it was 5.5gh, the price seemed like a placehold but it was 0.02BTC. I'm not sure what the real price is? And the aforementioned detail that i posted earlier are from Q&A with Bitmain's CEO. |

I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my stick, it was working yesterday.  {"hashrate1m": "0", "hashrate5m": "0", "hashrate1hr": "0", "hashrate1d": "0", "lastupdate": 1443529090, "bestshare": 1784472.3383183172} Edit: Well i just rebooted the computer and re plugged the stick and now after quite a while i got a share. But weird. I'll definitively blame this one on W8. Not a single share overnight? Wtf. I think everyone has had lot's of trouble with W8 also. Just a thought, is W8 turning the port off in power management? EDIT: forgot, if it turned the port off, the stick would probably show zombie. Hmm not really, but i had another problem, W8 just lost networking, maybe the computer froze, it would not be surprising considering i'm mining with 5 GPU on it. I've downclocked the GPUs a little bit now maybe it will help. Maybe there was some GPU mining conflicting with the other ASIC mining instance? Hell if i know, i never had this problem when i was doing this on W7. First the Diff is 1K, it will take a few minutes to send 1000 shares at 9 GH/s. Two, you have an hardware error. So your voltage is not correctly set. Meaning you probably lost your first 1000 share meaning no hash on the pool side. I suggests that you use another pool that you can set the diff to 9 and debug it that way (adjust the voltage a bit) He should not need to use another pool. This entire thread is people who are mining compacs to that pool so we know it works  . If you need to change difficulty I believe you can do it with cgminer using: --suggest-diff number here I didn't get share for nearly a day so the problem is most likely way beyond the stick. Regardless, it doesn't change anything overall but i tried the --suggest-diff variable, really cool i didn't know that existed. ck.solo started with my suggestion. For the volt/clock, i set the clock to 175mhz and i didn't even set a volt setting. If someone has a recommendation i'm all hear, i tend to always start with a single HW. |

If you're holding in dollars, quite a few of the aforementioned options like Circle adjust the BTC balance as its price moves around so you always retain the same dollar value. That may not be what you want so do your homework carefully.
Yes. Circle converted my first BTC transfer to USD which is what I wanted. I will just send to Circle to lock in USD rate (but of course it's a pain getting increased limits). I really recommend to use Coinbase if you want to do this. The Circle's service is handy but it is very high in fee. Barely better than what you,d expect from using Paypal in comparison. |

They also say "COMING SOON. PRE-ORDER NOW". Interesting though if someone buy and be able to sell less to canada. Anyone know who is the owner of that site? Its just because of the double shipping from the pre order and the border apparently took a 20% tax on the bulk Valkir received and then Valkir sent us the sticks on 1 day shipping which in total costed as much as the stick, while Bitcoinware.net ship for free 2 days shipping with xpress post. |

I would really like to sell mine for 0.1BTC since you're actually saving 100$ with the coupon. Some users are trying to sell it at 0.15BTC; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1171947.0And trusted user also tries to sell them at 0.1-0.125BTC. Let me know. |

I suspect they have some units with an unacceptable HW error rate at 600MHz so have had to drop the Frequency to 575MHz. Very reminiscent of the S3.
Rich
I'm not quite sure, i noticed that beside the header text, all the rest of the info is the same, same J/GH, but also same power draw, so either its just a different clock and they're selling them higher or the Batch 3 just run the higher freq better while also taking the same J/GH. One of those value is thus wrong. Either the power draw has to be different or the J/GH. |

Do you have any experience running 4 stock fan on a single S5 BBB/Base plate? I'm thinking of making a 2x S5 and i'm worried 4 Stock fan running at full speed might burn the BBB if it can't support that much power?
Your input would be appreciated.
It is tested with S7 base plate with 6 fan connectors. 4 Stock fan. S5 base plate has only 2 fan connectors. But the S7 has a dedicated connector just to itself for power? Only 2 fan connector isint an issue i would use a Y splitter. I am just wondering whether the board can safely supply the power or not. The answer is - not safely, not long time. Okay, thanks, i'll try to figure out an alternative. Maybe either run 4 at half speed, which probably equate to the same load as 2 fan at full speed? |

Bitmain has updated their site. The AntRouter test is gone, and they've added batch 2 and 3 of the S7.
Interesting that batch 2 is 4.66TH/s for $1585 and batch 2 is 4.86TH/s for $1658. Both ship in the same date range.
So I guess you pay a little more for better performance? Have they ever done that before?
In the past separate batches would have separate ship date ranges, not slightly different specs.
I just wish they'd ship the rest of batch 1. Still waiting for my second order from Sept 5.
I also noticed that and am going through the pages to try to find an explanation... Maybe it will just come clocked higher? Or its a "v1.1" that has more efficient hardware/software support? |
