AntRouter R1 has the following in it's description. 4. Bitcoin Mining Host
The R1 can also be used as a controller to manage and run several AntMiner U3s. Connecting your U3 to the AntRouter R1 via a USB hub eliminates the need to keep the U3 plugged into your computer. As the Compac enumerates as a U3 might this mean that you could manage a Compac with the R1? Rich Yes, from reading the blog posts about Q&A related to the AntMiner R1... it pretty much sound like its a device they want you to point your miners at. It would act as a proxy... and its cleverly compulsorily linked to your Bitmain account which force you to mine on Bitmain pool's, where the funds acquired would then need to be redeemed through their site. |

No o.O.
ALL transaction regarding the funds from the blocks after the fork will be invalidated. The destroyed fork will have all those transaction simply not exist in the final block chain.
I'm not talking about the nitpicky stuff. Or special circumstance.
You just can't have two people both get the 25BTC+TXfee per block. The end.
I don't know if i'm not explaining what i'm trying to say or something? Both fork will find the same blocks #, but there can only be one instance in the end. And whoever is in the destroyed fork will have no BTC from them after the merge. This also include the tx fee, the transaction, everything.
Yes, I understand what you are saying. The coinbase transactions and all of the following transactions in one fork can not exist when the forks combine. Sure but what i'm saying has nothing to do with coinbase per see. All transactions to and from coinbase would also get hit just like all non coinbase transaction as well. And coinbase would actually be less catastrophic internally because internal transaction doesn't go through the blockchain. But regardless, even though it could be possible to operate, they would shut it down, since there is no way Coinbase or any proper exchange would continue to operate in those conditions. I'm not taking about coinbase the company. I'm talking about the transactions which generate the block reward, which are called coinbase transactions. Oh my bad, those are low level protocol stuff which are too complicated to explain imo, beyond the conceptual display that "Blocks are generated and credited from 0x address after being verified by the network". But anyways all transactions would be invalidated, not just block generation, however so i didn't even think you could be talking about such low level details. It's just that the root of all problems does come from just that. |

I recently bought a drone at gearbest. This drone came eqquiped with 2mb pixel cam.
Today, I found out that my Border import control agency is helding it.
Why the hell would they do that if I'm in Europe and it came from the Netherlands??
Different countries have different regulations, requirements and legal limits in relation to drones. In the Republic of Ireland for example: The IAA (Irish Aviation Authority) policy is that unmanned aerial systems may not be flown without the operator receiving a specific permission from the IAA. This might help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_unmanned_aerial_vehiclesBut thats a regulation for UAV's, which are basically unmanned planes. OP is probably talking about something like this; http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/321351516465-0-1/s-l1000.jpgWhich has nothing to do with UAV regulations. Its basically a copter for kids you get at Toy's R Us. No, actually any drone is an Unmanned aerial vehicle. Take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle...and they fall under a completely different bracket of regulation: read: none.  The regulations are for air traffic area. Small/toy flying things you fly around your house absolutely have nothing to do with air traffic, if the drone could somehow reach air traffic zones then sure, i guess it would apply. |

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". |

My biggest advice is if it sounds too good to be true chances are it is. So if someone promises a amazing roi in X day's don't go for it as it would be too good to be true.
Same goes with buying something from the forum. If it sounds to good to be true it likely is a scam. Or in some cases like giftcards sadly a decent amount come from "carded" buys when they offer huge discounts from card value. So you are essentially part of the crime.
So really use common sense with bitcoins. And don't hold or invest anymore than your willing to loose.
My Advice is "Tell us what your Electricity rate is and we'll give you a recommendation.". Maybe op is one of those lucky person who has super dirt cheap electricity, in which case he could easily ROI smaller like higher amounts of money.  |

oh maaaaan... I just found out about this. (a day after sidekick ran out of stock). Pleas post a release date for the second batch as soon as you know it. yup. I can't wait !  You can check online retailers. There's one in Canada, bitcoinware, it sell for much cheaper than what i got mine from with the group buy. Check it out, its not too late http://bitcoinware.net/collections/frontpage/products/gekkoscience-usb-compac-btc-minerEdit: They raised the price significantly now, its pretty much the same price now but with Valkir we got it much much sooner. |

Are you trying to mine Bitcoin with GPU? 400Mh/s doesn't sound particularly wrong but if you are, i categorically recommend you cease this and go to the altcoin board. You can do this to get a feel for mining but you'll be putting strain on your GPU and spending electricity for virtually 0 gain. Are you sure about 400-430 Mh/s? It's probably Kh/s. I couldn't find this cards real hashing values, so I don't exactly know how profitable is it. You can check out other cards here: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparisonEnergy consumption is another value that you need to consider when you do mining with GPU. 400Kh/s would be too low for Scrypt and if he is mining Scrypt he is in the wrong board. And just like SHA256d/Bitcoin, there is no point in GPU mining it anymore. |

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. |

hey i just started mine bitcoin, and I shut down guiminer and it happened when I start it was this kind help https://gyazo.com/fd5b1608517800b9eed31778c5b19675This is in log ERROR:root:Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "guiminer.py", line 2478, in run File "guiminer.py", line 1893, in __init__ File "guiminer.py", line 2129, in load_config File "guiminer.py", line 1008, in start_mining File "subprocess.pyo", line 679, in __init__ File "subprocess.pyo", line 896, in _execute_child WindowsError: [Error 267] The directory name is incorrect What are you trying to mine? Using what? I used to use guiminer a long time ago to GPU mine scrypt. But thats pointless now. I'd recommend setting up the latest cgminer if you're setting up ASIC or sgminer if you're going to be mining with GPUs. Give me more info. |

I am trying to setup my two Antminer S1s but I cannot connect to their IPs through Google Chrome.
Both are connected via Ethernet, both are being powered.
Is there something i'm missing?
Did you connect to your router and check the DHCP lease/Connected device list to see what IP it actually is? I'm just not sure if you're using the default 1.99 which won't be accurate if they have been set to DHCP or another setting. Even if you did a factory reset. But you make it sound like you did find their actual IPs? If not you could try the IP Scanner as well. |

Can somebody tell me what the effect is of a high HW? If you have two different miners at the same speed, they hash about the same but one has a much higher HW. And on the pool there is also not much effect.
This beg the question of what "high Hardware error" means to you. You can often save something like 5-10% in power just by fine tuning the voltage controls. So unless you're talking about 7% Hardware error like i have on my Zeus miners, you're probably fine. I have some Ants with 0.0001% Error, some other at the same settings do 0.05% error. I even have some S1'S that go up to 2% HWE. I don't think you should see 0.1%+ on the S7 even if you push it however. |

One other MAJOR factor to keep in mind - bitcoin reward halfing, probably in July 2016 - THAT is likely to kill any profitability on units prior to the S7 for almost everyone (free electric folks and *MABEY* super-cheap electric folks might still eek out a TINY profit for a while on S5 and SP20 generation units, but even that is starting to look VERY iffy).
Hmm, The S5 is still profitable with a 50% raise in difficulty for people under 0.1$/kWh, so i foresee the S5 to be very profitable for quite many people that pay more or less the average electric rate of ~0.04$/kWh. Assuming the current BTC price stay around. |

send me your offer. great antminer s2. will ship anywhere if you pay shipping
wallet address is
1Mw5k3DuJywcFtrfRKZpMKeE1aoqwA6SRQ
I'll pay 100$ which include shipping cost, to Canada, if the unitand its PSU is in good condition, guaranteed to work, the fan also need to be in reasonable condition and we're using Escrow. Fund to be released by escrow upon verification of the aforementioned. I got a shipping quote from Texas to ship to Canada and it was over $100 for the shipping alone. So I doubt you'll get this for $100. The S2 is huge and heavy. I don't think the S2 will sell if they is shipping, yeah. I think it would have to be cheap and someone pick it up on hand. Just look at the fee from Bitmain's Hashnest to reclaim them. The handling fee and shipping to their own shipping center and THEN to you (You have to pay shipping twice) means that for a "Free Redeemed S2" from Bitmain you'll likely pay 200$. I guess that's their plan to keep the hardware when it become worthless. |

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. |

Still a newbie here. I can make $10 weekly, I'm working for someone who paid me 0.004/day. In a week I get about $7 worth of bitcoin, the rest I get from playing faucets. Now I'm saving money so I that can try other business such as trading and investing/loaning my BTC.
May I ask what you are doing in order to earn $7 bitcoin a week? It would be good to know because I can use all the extra income I can get. Yes i would like to know as well. Its always good to know everything how to make BTC I'm working for someone (not on this forum). My job is bump his threads thrice a day. payment $7 in Bitcoin every Thursday. it's such an easy job. Iol. Better than play faucet Hmm yeah especially since as tiny little script could do it for you or him and it would not ask for a wage ^_^". Much better than bothering with slavery faucet when you can make 1+ BTC per month otherwise. |

Not sure why any trusted user would sell their balance at 50% off when it can easily be cashed out at 65% or even up to 80% value.
Because the typical method require buying stuff off the store, waiting for a while, losing a ton to market fee, then selling those item for cash and lose even more. In the end you're left with less than half. By just using the fund to buy for a proxy, you don't pay any fee. So this method can be worthile. And again depending on the method, it doesn't have to be exactly 50%, hence the "~" in OP. 40% off seem to be the going rate, so this is a completely valid offer. Especially if the seller get a better rate than usual. |

I'm pretty damn far from having solved a block, this is a lottery i'm not likely to win, damn.
You neither farther nor closer than anyone else, you just have less ping pong balls in the lotto machine.  xD I understand the semantics, but facts remain if i had gotten a 58335351233 share i would of said, OMG almost found a hash good enough. So close, damnit! Or something. ^_^" But sure i get its not relevant to "progress to the next block found". |
