3361  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: About Running S5 on one controller and Fan control on: September 27, 2015, 03:22:27 PM
I have schematics, how pwm and speed are driven with older S3 controller,if it helps.With PIC,it is done 3V3 level,what are altera's levels?

I'm not sure what do you mean. Altera levels? Sure i could have a look at the schematics for fun but i don't really see how i could make use of it here.

Im just wondering if the controller can feed 4 stock fan at full speed without breaking a sweat, then its just figuring out how PWM work when you fork 2 fan with a y connector but only connect 1 PWM to it so that both fans are controlled by pwm feed. Thats how its done on my GPUs, so i'm certain its possible. Just need to wire it right.

in week end , i Quit from my day job to go full time opn bitcoin,
i can earning 0.01-0.1 bitcoin in 1 day (trading also some from faucet if i get booring)

maybe  i will quit from my day job but not this time Wink

Please decide: you have quit from your day job as you tell in the first row or you will quit (in the future) from your day job as you tell in the third row. It is to much interesting this your situation when you in the same time are in day job and are not in the day job. Can you write here in which way you can be in the same moment in two different places (work and not in work but somewhere else)?


sorry to make you confused,
every weekend i work full time on bitcoin i earning 0.01-0.1
and everyday i work in real job (Staff Tax at small company)

in future i will Quit from my Tax Job to go full time on bitcopin

Thats a nice way to name it. A Tax Job. Even though you mean Taxi job? What what i mean is BTC is a taxless job, at least where i leave, as long as you don't convert it to capital.

But you really spend 16 hours for 0.01-0.1BTC? That sound like slave work . 2-4$USD per hours is doable on this forum though and would give 0.2BTC in a weekend which is not too bad depending on where you live.
Im staff taxation not a driver taxy
I have a family and Im human,  Im not say spend 16hours
I online 7-8hours

Gotcha. Well 20$ for 8 hours is still low but i guess its more reasonable. Its just you said "I work full time on bitcoin every weekend" so that sounded like a lot more than 8 hours. And i was just making a pun on Tax and Bitcoin Tongue

Is my account really that cheap Huh
I would happy if someone is offering $150 at least

There's absolutely no way, on sale those games are worth 170$. So basically someone could just buy all the game themselves for possibly even cheaper, minus the game you have they most likely don't want, for cheaper than your whole account.

I very much doubt you can find a legit buyer for more than 25$. In comparison mine is "worth" 2000$ and i would have a lot of trouble just selling it for 100$. Even though i never would.
3364  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] SP30 hosted at Toomim Bros in Washington state, USA on: September 27, 2015, 03:02:33 PM
What's the power usage and monthly fees with everything on that unit at that colo?

According to Toomin, at the current hash rate it's using 1.63 kW AC.  I don't know what it uses at "full blast".  

Per their hosting site Toom.im, they charge $95 a month per kW, so at the current power usage, it works out to $154.85/month.  Price/month decreases if you pay in larger increments, as shown on their site.

In retrospect, if you have cheap power, you can probably come out better running this yourself than hosting.  I've never had the funds available to pay for hosting more than one month at a time, which obviously is not the most cost effective way to pay for hosting.  It's not feasible to run it where I live for multiple reasons including heat and electric cost.

M

And 95$/kW/Month is also pretty expensive, it would cost 35$/kW/Month to run in Québec in your house or half that in a data center. If the noise is/wasn't an issue i'd totally run this at home, though looking at the power consumption, its probably 240v. Unless the PSU takes 120 also, it wouldnt work out here.

3366  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH on: September 27, 2015, 02:51:31 PM
I had 1 PSU powering the boards and the controller.  I put another psu on the controller and booted up the boards first, and now it is running at full speed.  Thanks for the advise you two..Smiley

This makes you wonder if it would be worth installing a cut-off switch on the power cable that connects to the controller.  This would be helpful if you are using a single large PSU...

Why would that matter? My guess is that the 1 PSU alone didn't have enough power?

Regarding adding multiple PSU's etc, I can recommend add2psu adapters. http://www.add2psu.com/
You could get these to power the hashing boards first, and controllers later.

I used them on my GPU rigs back in the day.

Edit:

DO NOT use these on multiple circuits!

Are you sure about that ATCkit? I guess you are if you're doing it! ^^

Its not really necessary. If you're using 2 PSU, you just flip its power switch in the back. If not there's those flip switch sure, but its added hardware that's ultimately superfluous.

You just power the PSU that is NOT connected to the controller first, then flip the one that is connected to the board last. It doesn't matter if its also connected to boards.

Its just that the boards don't actually power up and start running even though they are connected to a power line until the controller "wake" them up.

Cold Storage? What i cold Storage?

If you mean physical storage I have a spare 4.43TB that could be used for this!

Cold storage mean offline storage. A wallet that has never and never will touch the internet, that way you can say with fair accuracy that it's impossible to steal its privkey. Otherwise you're susceptible to getting hacked. Especially when you're not an expert on internet security.

This explain cold storage for Bitcoins;

3369  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread on: September 27, 2015, 02:36:45 PM
I slept with nine of 'em in my room for a weekend when I first got test sticks together and didn't have trouble, which I'm usually pretty sensitive to lights when I'm trying to fall asleep so I figured it'd be no problem. I like the flash, but the green by itself is probably a bit brighter than it needs to be.

It's not a problem, it doesn't bother me, it was just a bit embarrassing because i have many miners with blinking lights and in the dark, they dont illuminate my living room.

Meanwhile the tiny stick does and its bright enough that from the outside, you can see the reflection on the window, so my neighbor was asking me whats up with the lightshow during the night. It was casual and its not bright enough to bother anyone, it's just enough to be noticeable.

I told him i had one of those modem with some flashy LEDS and we laughed it out.

How long would the installation/download take on my raspberry pi b+? And I can leave that connected to the modem without any other aplications running but i  will also need to use my 5tb seagate expansion drive on that? I have already started using that with my windows version but I suppose the blockchain I have already installed will be the same for all operating systems.

Depends on your download speed and the processing speed of the Raspi which might be pretty slow. Maybe some user who set up a node on a RasPi could help you, or do some reading on this search;

But you still have not answered; Why do you want to set up Bitcoin Core this way?

I want to install the blockchain before it gets to a point where it will take years to install! I also want to eventually run a website from the Raspberry Pi and sell the copy of the blockchain download. I want to know how the databases are set up in order to do this and will so inspect the format of the data directories and the blockchain locked databases in order to learn more about bitcoin and how i can manipulate parts of it in order to program auto payments from a website.

That sound borderline illegal. It's open source, if you sell it for profit you're breaking the license. Its also available for free, downloadable for free and the bootstrapped downloadable for free, all under the same open source license.

And there's nothing to learn its just a bunch of heavy .blck file that you slap in the AppData roaming folder, then let the wallet sync, which still would take a while.

And you can't manipulate parts of BTC.

I meant that i want to create a piece of code that runs of my website that will send money from my wallet to theother person's waller. I am not trying to find flaws in the bitcoin network to exploit I am just trying to create an auto payout service for a wesite so that is sends payments to users from my bitcoin that I own!

Thats okay, but you said "sell copy of the blockchain download". There's many way to spin this but you'd simply be breaking the license in any case. If you're trying to make a payout system, then sure and running a bitcoincore can work, even though there's better options, but you'll also need cold storage.

Of course it matters. It matters a lot actually. Good luck convincing me that someone read the whole thread and formulated (and typed) a constructive reply within 5 minutes. In my opinion it is pretty obvious that  he's spamming only because of his signature campaign. A lot of low quality one liners which at times seem to be random. People need to really take their time and write proper replies. The situations in where a one liner is constructive and useful are rare.

You rarely need to read a whole thread to reply something constructive and relevant or proper by just reading the last page. But i agree that;

But if that's spam and worth deletion, then you'd have thousands of posts per day to delete. I try to continue discussion by addressing previous posts and typically the poster don't even read reply or even read what was just said Above.

3373  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: About Running S5 on one controller and Fan control on: September 27, 2015, 02:13:26 PM
Standard S5 only has a single fan, so you should be fine with 2 x S5 on a single controller? If you did want to drive 2 fans of a single connector then I do not think a simple Y splitter would work as you would have 2 sets of Tacho signals. What might work would be to just connect the Tacho signal from one fan and then the PWM drive to both? You would also have to check that the current draw was ok.

Rich


I would figure that the controller would read one PWM signal and set the current to control the fan speed. Since one fan is being told for example to "run at 3k" the second fan on the Y splitter should also run at 3k. The controller will only read one but if both fan are the same there should be no issue?

I just need to know how to do the wiring, and the other thing is, can the controller support that much AMP? I'd ultimately be running up to 4 fans on it for less noise.

You are mining with the wrong algorithm. In your command you have it mining with scrypt, not sha256.
Ohh okay, so this should fix it?


You can't, you can't mine SHA256d in an academic perspective.

You can replace your "scrypt" to "sha256" or try blank. Not sure for that particular CGminer version, you're using a pretty old one. But you'll be making a few cents per year at most, it would take you years to reach minimum payout at a pool and you'd be using tons of electricity.

I point you toward the Altcoin mining support section. You can get started with X11.

Okay, whats that?

It's an algo for Altcoins, another coin, one that can be mined with GPU perhaps profitably, depending on your electricity cost, unlike BTC.

Since this is the Bitcoin-only board, i can't really elaborate on it much. I would recommend you make a thread in the altcoin section and if you want, post the link here to continue the conversation with me/us.

It's pretty obvious that Bitmain will eventually release an "S7+" - already did most of the engineering for it between the S7 and the S5+.

 Has anyone actually tried running an S5 hash board on an S7 controller yet, or a S7 hashboard on an S5/S5+ controller?

Now that there are quite a few S7's out there it would be good to have an answer to this question?  Smiley

Rich

I wanted to know this for controller efficiency. Basically it would be better to have less controllers for more miners. Keep the other controllers for backup.
And also, i can't seem to find the power consumption of the Beaglebone, did you calculate it yourself while you were messing around with the S5's? I'm guessing 10watts but just to be sure...
3377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you used Bitcoin as Real money to buy Real/physical goods? on: September 27, 2015, 12:12:34 PM
No not yet.Given the slow speed at which people are adopting bitcoin in my country,I doubt if I can buy anything with bitcoin in next 5 years

Why? Debit cards don't exist in your country? You can get an international BTC Debit card and it work as long as your stores accept debit/interact. And then you can use BTC all over the world with online sellers.
Debit cards do not have high limits unless verification is gone through. Since you have to go through verification, you would expose yourself to the risk of identity theft. There are various restrictions on the area of service too, the loading fee is also very high.

Really? Not sure what card you're basing this on but even the Bit-x one, loading is free. Its not even loading, it just use your BTC wallet balance. The catch is currency conversion rate, they keep 2.5-5%.

That i cannot argue, is too much. And the limit for anonymous is 300$. For a daily things, doing the grocery, buying small stuff, its perfectly sufficient.

But its true i don't do it that way, its still too expensive. Instead, now i just sell BTC and send the money to my bank account. I used to use Bylls.com to drop it in my credit card, but now Coin Base support Canada and its 1%+1$ but Coin Base price is 1.6% over BTC price. Meanwhile the transfer only take under 1 day.

I wouldn't really count in using Bitcoin debit cards as buying goods or services for Bitcoin. This is just a workaround of us, the Bitcoin community until we don't grow enough to be able to spend our BTCs directly with merchants.

And this is also a quite expensive workaround and I don't see people using this in a long run. They are better off paying with their credit cards and use bitcoins only with merchants that accept them directly.

But 1% isint bad, even credit card take 2.5% or more from the merchant. The difference in price is why many online retailers has added bitcoin through payment processors to their checkout.
Even if the payment process take 1-2%, its still better than credit card. So overall if for instance CoinBase made a credit or debit card for their online wallet for 1%, it would still be a reasonable service.
As thus, the ability to send cash to my bank account within 24 hours for 1%+1$ is reasonable to me, even though i'm biased by previous method. If the seller could eat the 1% fee for the buyer on the account of saving some % compared to credit card, that would be pretty cool however.

I noticed he has quite a few posts in threads that have an endless discussion (example) but staff don't ban people like that. And if the posts are passable, the time frame in which you post doesn't really matter (correct me if I'm wrong on that).

His post quality is low, however is not spam. He is most likely trying to get all the posts he need for his signature campaign. While this can come up as annoying for some users, it's fine even if poor practice.

OP can go check the signature campaign's rules to see if posting that way is not respecting the minimum post quality and then report it to the Campaign Manager, but unless OP is on a personal grudge, i would avoid this witchhunt.
